Watching a programme about Devon and Cornwall police. It showed their policing of the Exeter v Plymouth game. To show how it had been a success as it was peaceful in the city centre they interviewed a copper there. Behind him a lad in a City shirt was walking by in the background.
I'd of taken Wilshere instead of Delph, Bertrand instead of Young , Sessegnon instead of Cahill and Sancho instead of Welbeck.
To be fair, BBC raise most of their money themselves aside from the licence fee. Their programs are exported around the world for ridiculous fees.
Good job they've already sacked the ****... Philippe Auclair@PhilippeAuclair Jaw-dropping. Michel Platini reveals the 1998 WC schedule was fixed so that France couldn't meet Brazil until the final; which he and his interviewer find very clever and funny.
World Cup: Argentinian FA sorry for guide on how to talk to Russian women Tom LutzLast modified on Thu 17 May 2018 14.09 BST Manual was issued to players, officials and journalists AFA says chapter on talking to Russian women printed in error There are more than a few concerns before next month’s World Cup in Russia: the threat of hooliganism, the country’s patchy record on LGBT rights, and the prospect of Russia playing Vladimir Putin at centre-forward. For officials at Argentina’s Football Association (AFA), however, the most pressing issue appears to be how to talk to women. On Tuesday, the AFA held a course for players, staff and journalists about what to expect when they travel to Russia. Among the materials was a manual entitled Russian Language and Culture, which included a chapter on “What to do to have a chance with a Russian girl”. Anyone wanting a chance with a Russian man was left to figure things out for themselves. Setting aside the obvious dubious morals of the whole exercise, it turns out that the manual’s author, Eduardo Pennisi, believes Russian women have the same standards as pretty much everyone else on Earth. Apparently, they like people who are “clean” and smell “good”. Nacho Catullo (@nachocatullo) El curso fue hoy en la AFA. Tengo el cuaderno. Nos lo sacaron para cortar esa hoja pero yo la guardé cuando supuse lo que harían. pic.twitter.com/gBeG9xWsWZ May 15, 2018 In another stunning revelation, Russian women like to be treated as human beings. “Russian girls do not like to feel like objects,” reads a passage from the manual, translated into English by Deadspin. “Many men, because Russian women are beautiful, only want to take them to bed. Maybe they want it too, but they are people who want to feel important and unique. The advice is to treat the women who is in front of you with their own ideas and wishes. Pay attention to their values and personality. Don’t ask stupid questions about sex.” Additionally, Pennisi advises Argentinian men to avoid printing out their bank statement on a first date. “Maybe you try to impress her by talking about the money you have, that you know everything, that you are perfect and the others are poor stupid people,” reads the manual. “In the end, if the girl has a little sense, she will bounce you. Be real and talk about you in real terms, talk about your faults in a fun way and about your positive points.” The AFA soon realised they had made a mistake and issued a statement on Wednesday. “After an internal investigation in respect to yesterday’s events during the Russian Language and Culture course, it has been concluded that the materials distributed were incorrectly printed,” read the statement. “The teacher in charge of the course chose information to give the assistants but regretfully at the moment of printing, because of an unforeseen error a text that was never part of the course was included. The administrative personnel of the department proceeded to remove it immediately. We regret that the error would have obscured the importance of the day’s lesson and the permanent educational activities given by AFA, and expressing our sincerest apologies to those affected by the publication, which in no way reflects the thoughts of the Argentine Football Association or its president Claudio Tapia or any of of his directions.” Pennisi does not offer any advice on whether or not Lionel Messi should play in the false nine role at the World Cup.
Threequarters of the BBC's revenues comes from the licence fee and only a quarter from their commercial operations.
Any predictions? Winners- France Golden Boot- Thomas Muller Golden Ball- Antoine Griezmann England- Quarter Finals
So our licence fee hasn't paid for all these people and their families to go off on an all expenses paid for summer jolly to Russia?
You said they raised most of their revenues from sales of licences. You were wrong. Though it is interesting to compare how many more the BBC seem to need to cover events compared to other broadcasters who have to raise all of the money required and don't receive threequarters of it through a poll tax type arrangement.
Whenever you view the BBC website whilst in Vietnam there are adverts popping up, so they obviously gain revenue from advertising overseas.
i thought that was what he said but i don't think it came out as he intended. i think that what he meant was that the bbc raise most of the rest of the money themselves.
Spain are leaving out players like Bellerin, Alonso, Fabregas, Morata, Mata etc, and we're taking Jones and Welbeck.
