that maybe. But the fact that they should hsve had a freekick and Gallas off with a red rather thsn a goal against is mainly what they are moaning about. Can you imagine what Wegner would be saying?

The ref on the night was awful. Every decision seemed to go to Bolton. Over the course of a season refs make some shocking decisions last night was no exception.A team is under no obligation to kick the ball out when a man is down especially if the player down is one of the team in possession. We've been on the receiving end of some shocking tackles, Adebayors kick on Van Persies head for example. Bolton chose to play on and we won the ball and scored. Stop crying Coyle, 2 nil and you fcuked it up.

Nice of the Arsenal fans to cheer when Mark Davies was carried off after Gallas's horrendous tackle. That's really sporting of them don't you think? Cunts!


Spurs had a perfectly good goal disallowed and two possible penalty appeals turned down last night which for me changed the course of the game. I thought Howard Webb had a bit of a shocker and showed himself to be a homer. That's the way it goes sometimes.

I thought you were determined to ignore me? I know you can,t bless you. Try not to let the green eyed monster take over your deluded thinking. Rags fans have cheered when opposition players have injured as have scum fans so it's a case of pot calling the kettle black. As if I give a shit about what Rags or a scum fan thinks. The holier than thou mantle is not one either of you can adopt with any credability. Rags losing against citeh, scum losing us winning, it doesn't get any better. Bring it on.

It's a different situation, completely. The ref saw the Eduardo tackle and sent the guy off, action was taken therefore the FA can't act retrospectively. Gallas foul the referee didn't see it, and the rule is if that's the case then the FA can act. This is the bit I don't get.


So there's no consistency - in one case the rules were followed, the other not.

What irks me about the Gallas foul was the thought of how he reacted to the Eduardo injury. Wasn't that the game when he sat on the pitch afterwards and wouldn't come off? A fine example for a captain to set. You would think that he would try not to do to another player what he saw done to his teammate if it upset him so much.

    • Direct link to joint statement : https://thehaguegroup.org/meetings-bogota-en/?link_id=2&can_id=2d0a0048aad3d4915e3e761ac87ffe47&source=email-pi-briefing-no-26-the-bogota-breakthrough&email_referrer=email_2819587&email_subject=pi-briefing-no-26-the-bogot_-breakthrough&&   No. 26 | The Bogotá Breakthrough “The era of impunity is over.” That was the message from Bogotá, Colombia, where governments from across the Global South and beyond took the most ambitious coordinated action since Israel’s genocidal assault on Gaza began 21 months ago. Convened by The Hague Group and co-chaired by the governments of Colombia and South Africa, the Emergency Conference on Palestine brought together 30 states for two days of intensive deliberation — and emerged with a concrete, coordinated six-point plan to restrain Israel’s war machine and uphold international law. States took up the call from their host, Colombian President and Progressive International Council Member Gustavo Petro, who had urged them to be “protagonists together.” Twelve governments signed onto the measures immediately. The rest now have a deadline: 20 September 2025, on the eve of the United Nations General Assembly. The unprecedented six measures commit states to:     Prevent military and dual use exports to Israel.     Refuse Israeli weapons transfers at their ports.     Prevent vessels carrying weapons to Israel under their national flags.     Review all public contracts to prevent public institutions and funds from supporting Israel’s illegal occupation.     Pursue justice for international crimes.     Support universal jurisdiction to hold perpetrators accountable. “We came to Bogotá to make history — and we did,” said Colombian President Gustavo Petro. “Together, we have begun the work of ending the era of impunity. These measures show that we will no longer allow international law to be treated as optional, or Palestinian life as disposable.” The measures are not symbolic. They are grounded in binding obligations under international law — including the International Court of Justice’s July 2024 advisory opinion declaring Israel’s occupation unlawful, and September 2024’s UN General Assembly Resolution ES-10/24, which gave states a 12-month deadline to act. UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the occupied Palestinian territory Francesca Albanese called them “a momentous step forward.” “The Hague Group was born to advance international law in an era of impunity,” said South Africa’s Foreign Minister, Ronald Lamola. “The measures adopted in Bogotá show that we are serious — and that coordinated state action is possible.” The response from Washington was swift — and revealing. In a threatening statement to journalists, a US State Department spokesperson accused The Hague Group of “seeking to isolate Israel” and warned that the US would “aggressively defend our interests, our military, and our allies, including Israel, from such coordinated legal and diplomatic” actions. But instead of deterring action, the threats have only clarified the stakes. In Bogotá, states did not flinch. They acted — and they invite the world to join them. The deadline for further states to take up the measures is now two months away. And with it, the pressure is mounting for governments across the world — from Brazil to Ireland, Chile to Spain — to match words with action. As Albanese said, “the clock is now ticking for states — from Europe to the Arab world and beyond — to join them.” This is not a moment to observe. It is a moment to act. Share the Joint Statement from Bogotá and popularise the six measures. Write to your elected representative and your government and demand they sign on before 20 September. History was made in Bogotá. Now, it’s up to all of us to ensure it becomes reality, that Palestinian life is not disposable and international law is not optional. The era of impunity is coming to an end. Palestine is not alone. In solidarity, The Progressive International Secretariat  
    • Most countries charge for entry to museums and galleries, often a different rate for locals (tax payers) and foreign nationals. The National Gallery could do this, also places like the Museums in South Kensington, the British Library and other tax-funded institutions. Many cities abroad add a tourist tax to hotel bills. It means tourists help pay for public services.
