@Brightonian_ That was not Attwell's worst decision that day. He disallowed two Brighton goals for handball; one was marginal, the other hit Mac Alluster's hip.

The day before the 2016 Brexit referendum, the Telegraph published a long editorial explaining why its readers should vote Leave: "20 reasons you should vote to leave the European Union" Cast your eye down this list of topic headings, and see how quickly the wheels come off... 1) We’d get our money back 2) We could decide who comes into our country 3) We could make our own laws again 4) Our courts would have the final say over those laws 5) We wouldn’t have to accept decisions forced on us by other countries 6 )We wouldn’t have to listen to lots of European presidents 7) We wouldn’t have to listen to, or fund, the European Commission 8) We could have proper vacuum cleaners 9) We wouldn’t have to worry about Turkey 10) We could set our own tax rates 11) We could support British companies in trouble 12) Fish! 13) We could get rid of windfarms 14) We could have blue passports again 15) And our own entry lanes at airports 16) We wouldn't have to fund EU foreign aid 17) It would be easier to get rid of fridges 18) No more stupid recycling bins 19) British MEPs would be sacked 20) Finally, we could have proper lightbulbs again Here's a link to an archived copy of the full piece, in case you inexplicably feel like reading the "argument" behind each point above. archive.ph/YxbBm

@WG_RumblePants It's almost as if the sport is run by people who despise it and its traditions.

From ⁦@rafaelbehr⁩ book … why are these people never challenged on the lies and myths they peddled, now doing such damage to the country ?

Redcar beach yesterday Easter Sunday 2023 dead sea-life everywhere. Photos taken by local resident Christine Ford, who has never seen the like before. The dredging and dumping of toxic material from the Teesport is decimating the marine eco-system.

@DaleVince @FGRFC_Official Good effort from FGR. Disappointed that there was no public transport after midweek games.

@philharrison192 Kate Winslet grew up round the corner. Usually Brighton lost there but it was a decent ground.

@Groundtastic Watched Brighton play there on a day of snow showers and views of the hills. Warm half time pie, decent game, friendly club.
