    Football reffing at the top level to finally get tough on bad behaviour

    I think there is a question about what is actually considered bad behaviour. Football is a very physical sport and the rules accommodate that, but if you behave physically off the ball you are in trouble. Yet intense provocation is acceptable. A classic example would be David Beckham at the 1998...

    Football reffing at the top level to finally get tough on bad behaviour

    I think I have a problem with them focusing on kicking the ball away, which has been a rule for ages anyway. I appreciate that comes under time wasting, but usually much more time is wasted by team taking set pieces rather than the team defending them. I think we will have to see how it all pans...

    Football reffing at the top level to finally get tough on bad behaviour

    I think you have to support the idea. I think time wasting has been killing the game. Referees should be respected to ensure you have people willing to do the job and shut Rugby fans up!

    40 years later: council house help to buy scheme has been an utter disaster

    You're right, Mike, they basically wanted to create loads of Tories by making more home owners. The problem is that it has helped fuel ever rising house prices, so if you (or your family) are not on the ladder you stand no chance.

    It all started with train sets...

    I had a train set when I was a kid. I think it must have been Hornby. I wasn't that into it. My grandad got it for me and I think he probably got it for himself really. I think trainsets are more a hobby for adults really. To get the best out of it you need space to set it up and disposable cash...

    Astrophysicist Explains Gravity in 5 Levels of Difficulty

    I understand pretty much all that they are talking about, but they are you talking about it all in quite hand wavey accessible terms. Getting down and dirty with the maths would be a different matter altogether.
