FLUMPO235

Was watching something this afternoon, they were saying that Charles has to have some sort of ceremony next Saturday probably. their point was, that the queen is actually dead now. in terms of royal protocol, Charles doing his ceremony is actually more important as he’s actually more important then her. Meaning officially, the sat is far more important in terms of everyone having to stop doing what they are doing. what a mess. for me, they should have done a long bank holiday weekend with the funeral on the Monday. This impacts me financially, but that’s life. I can live with that. bit everything else other than bank Monday is a normal day. They could still have whatever gun salutes or bells, really go to town between now and then. but only the funeral day should be special and it should be a party day. 10 days feels very out of date.

I wonder if a few of the big wigs had one eye on a future knighthood or other honours.

I do t get paid if I don’t work. So another week of either squeezing the 8 hours over the rest of the week or earning 8 hours less. Fucking hate bank holidays.

The following Monday is what most of the media are saying. Probably fits with the idea of a bank holiday too

To be fair I bet she’s attended more cup finals than any of us. ??

I’ve only seen brief parts sent to us at work due to our jobs. It Might be wrong. Says all major events including sporting should be cancelled. Although other people on here seem to have a better understanding than me. I read it a dozen times and couldn’t figure out if the mourning stated today or tomorrow. nonpoint guessing, I’m sure the fa will have their own written and agreed protocol they will do.

No only parts.

You would need to read the plans for operation London Bridge, although this is actually operation unicorn as she passed in Scotland. the 10 days is apparently in the protocol.

Nah, var will guess the results and points will be allocated instead.

The decision was made years ago. No sporting events allowed during the 10 days of mourning.

I had a friend who always used to boo dyer. Wasnt comfortable with that even if he deserved it sometimes.

Apparently the Europeans clubs will not entertain moving the window and it has been discussed.

Do you mean why does it not slam shut before the season starts? It used to, but clubs lobbied the FA/PL to bring it in line with European windows. They were slamming after ours had been slammed. so say isak became available last week, we wouldn’t have been able to buy him as the window had already been slammed. But some European club could buy him. There is always talk of changing our window to match our season start but clubs still think it will disadvantage them. No idea if/why European teams like there window to slam after the season has started though.

Botman not even on the bench edit- he is!

If this happens, consider me fully sport washed.

Hello, luke Edward here, is that the home office, I want to discuss isaks work permit. Yes I will hold to speak to priti Patel. erm Luke, that’s not even a phone, you’re holding a banana.

Need to get down the post office get them to check it for £14.99 first.

I’m getting someone coming though, has anyone in the audience got a dead great, great grandparent who was either male or female?

Ok, seems a few examples and it’s not just us then. no conspiracy here, sit tight.

The problem is it’s not clear what’s going on. Kluivert couldn’t get FA approval as he could get 15 points required from the 6 criteria to pass the FA permit. with isak it seems to be a problem with the home office not the FA. I don’t think it helps that everyone seems to be using work permit/visa/fa approval interchangeably as if they are the same thing. if it’s the home office that’s causing the blockage, is it possible he has some mild criminal record causing probs. Extremely frustrating.

I want to know if this has happened to any club or player before. This system has been in use for nearly 2 years. Never heard of it being a problem other than with our player. wtf is going on.

Putting 2+2 and getting 5, I can only assume it’s an FA thing to protect English players. Rather than clubs hoovering up rubbish foreign players for cheap money and blocking English players coming through, they at least have to have foreign players who have actually played in the top couple of tiers. seems he’s fallen in some obscure crack.

For non EU players yes. After brexit the fa decided to reform the rules to make it easier for non EU and the EU players to pass the test. So post brexit it’s much easier to get South American players and Africans visas. it should be dead easy for the EU players, so until someone spells out why klivert has failed, it’s quite unusual.

It’s an English FA rule nothing to do with the UK.

Think I would like to see it working for at least 12 months first, through various weather/temperatures. something about that whole set up that terrifies me. I can see it not lining up properly or someone disappearing down a join. ? other than that it does look very impressive.
