It seems like Nigel has got himself to Australia to back up Novak due to his anti vax stance . Or is at least tweeting an old picture showing his support for them Yet Farage has made a career on trying to get the UK’s immigration policies to be as strict as Australia’s AND to boot Eastern Europeans from the U.K. who according to him flooded in and took all the jobs when the EU was expanded So his current support for Novak is very slimy indeed
Ah thanks . I didn’t get the NF connection , I thought it was Novak and his brother or some something . Nigel Farage. = NF .
It does sound like Djokovic was treated absolutely appallingly by Australia border control. I don't agree with his decision not to be vaccinated but that doesn't mean he should have been treated like a criminal.
Not familiar with how Australian border control works are you? They are generally appalling. We are talking about a country that has a prison island after all
And ? I like to think they were . Dont think anyone is pointing fingers at the individual border control people , but if they were following orders and the orders ended up in him being treated poorly , that’s down to the powers that be to change the rules .
I went to Australia a few years back to travel/work for a year or so and had heard horror stories about their border force. I scanned my passport once upon arrival, collected my bags and then walked out without speaking to another soul. All seemed rather odd.
It’s more their attitude if you put one toe out of line. And woe betide the people who are actively doing things wrong (the attempted migrants) If you are just a normal passenger with a completely valid visa and no biological stuff in your bags then it is just like anywhere else If not, well, look at this story for a minor example
Should have posted in blue it was a tongue in cheek reference to part of the Nurenburg war trials defence. Besides that following rules and applying them as harshly as it would appear they were didn't get the judge's approval. No one comes out of this well the player, the association, border control or the politicians.
Makes sense, there was nothing in my bag except clothes, my laptop, a few dried lizards and a tortoise shell so I was no risk.
Good riddance. Crucial appointments now. Get the right head coach and GM and things will look rosy. Also trade Cousins if we can.
I don’t follow College football enough to know but allegedly this draft class is terrible for QBs. May aswell keep Cousins for his final year and let him walk next year, maybe take a QB earlyish and let him sit behind Cousins for a year and learn. Cousins wasn’t the problem this year, was the defence (for the second year) and O-Line (for the 10th year in a row). If somebody wants to give up a first and second round pick for Cousons then yeah trade him; otherwise keep him and draft some defensive players
But we did draft a QB last time in Mond. No idea what he's like though. I was hoping they would start him instead of Mannion in Green Bay when Cousins had Covid. But yeah, any trade involving Cousins has to include high draft picks.
Yeah Mond not starting doesn’t bode well for his future. Allegedly he still hasn’t learnt the playbook and isn’t ready. From the limited info I know about him he is a great athlete but not got the mental side of the game. Usually a new GM will want to draft “his” guys so combine that with a new HC as well and could be an interesting off season. Quite happy to see a major rebuild as the franchise has been in limbo for a few years now
We came back from Africa in the early 70s , with ivory , and a lions claw set in gold .* Tell the kids today , they’d never believe you ! They were of their time .
Are the Aussies any further in deciding if Novax stays and plays? The last I saw he was blaming his agent for inaccuracies in his entry paperwork, the bit where he said he hadn’t been in any other countries since his positive test when he had actually been in two, iirc.
FIA outlines the process for inquiry into last year's Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. - BBC Sport Bye bye Masi. It will be a complete disaster for F1 if Hamilton doesn't return next season so Masi's pretty much waiting to be fired at this point.
