you obviously never paid much attention to cycling , weightlifting sprinting just fro a doping pov . As for football when is the last time you watched a pro game without someone "diving" .
There are 562 players in the PL . How many dive? I get what you're saying but cheating isn't the norm.
All the keepers dive for a start Most defenders flop over when they are backed into a corner or what have you. I've seen loads of that. Every forward flops about. Even your archetypical brexit centre forward. Midfielders are pretty much flippers for cheap frees as well. Any time they are faced the wrong way or in danger of losing it over they go.
I guess I must just be more of an optimist then for not seeing what you two see. The biggest cheat atm in football is the VAR operator.
Personally I'd introduce a sub-division of divers. There are those who will go down easily when they feel a challenge, often to get themselves out of a tricky situation - and those who actively seek to instigate contact in order to gain an advantage.
If a forward dropped to the ground like a defender does almost every time they are heading towards their goal line with an opposition defender just behind them there would be uproar yet it just passes unnoticed . It is fairly usual these days to see players more interested in "playing" the opposition player rather than the ball all under the pretence of protecting the ball and don't get me started on playing the man in the air .
Yeah you are right. Hamman was a total flopper. He'd be down quicker than a wags knickers at the slightest glance. Theres lots like him, it's taking the easy way out cos refs indulge it. The likes of lamela and kane and sterling are downright cheats who want to get an opponent sent off or win pens. I'd throw in the guys who try to get in opponents faces then drop like they've been head butted. Those are a special type of nasty.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-57595913 if anyone cares. first mobile operator to row back on roaming charges in europe. EE now going to charge. the rest are sure to follow.
That says it applies to all new customers or upgrades so unless they don't want any new customers, you'd think there must be some kind of general provider agreement behind the scenes. Or it doesn't make sense, does it?
Well given we are put of the eu such anti competitive behind the scenes stuff may well be going on but I think what they mean is people have a contract for 12 or 24 months usually and when it expires and you want your upgrade you will sign to this. O2 are following apparently.
Not exactly surprising. They only stopped because of the EU law, so now it no longer applies of course they're starting again.
To be fair, it’s only if you go over 25gb. Who ever uses that on a holiday? In lockdown I’ve been using les than 1gb a month let alone 25 in a week / 2 week period.
thats data though, what about old Skool calls and texts? I would have to say thought it'd take someone watching movies or sky or something to use 25gb. or uploading masses of videos to the cloud automatically.
i didn’t think calls or texts were affected? But then I only really use WhatsApp or iMessage so it’s all done on data, and I can’t remember last time I ever phoned anyone from abroad, and if I did it would be a huge emergency and a couple quid prob be least of my worries. Appreciate not only one affected so maybe others may be affected. But hey, we voted for brexit, should have known it was coming so can’t complain. Said all along that those that campaigned for remain totally missed a trick. They focussed on things that the generally day to day man doesn’t really care about or is affected by. People that don’t follow politics or aren’t farmers don’t really go into the minor details. Want to win people over? Tell them they’d prob have to pay to use phone abroad, may have to queue longer at airports, won’t get the duty free on holiday and will have to pay extra when ordering things online that come from abroad. I reckon a few non voters or those voting brexit just cos prob would have gone remain if they’d known things like that would happen
How come? Spending a week abroad on a beach doing nothing but eating new food and drinking is glorious. I guess bit diff if you have kids, but still, shove them in a kids club for week and pick them up as you leave for the airport
