But mostly it’s not actually policy positions that people are annoyed by, it’s Trump himself. They either take him far too literally, or they start from the premise that whatever it is must be bad because Trump is doing it or supports it, and work backwards from there - well, it frequently is. As when he orders pardons for the rioters of 6th Jan because of bribes they paid him. Or demanding the arrest of somebody who dared to inspect the damage caused by a restoration carried out to a Washington landmark carried out illegally on Trump's orders and claiming he was the cause of the damage. Or his claims about vote rigging (epic projection) or about his increasingly obvious medical treatment.
Right, an afternoon of cricket and F1 beckons - well, enjoy, but I don't think you're convincing anyone with this.
I think you may have fallen into the trap of taking Sandpit too literally. Therefore it is all your fault.
We must take what people say seriously and it is our fault for ignoring it, except when we shouldn't take what they say seriously for some reason.
If England could just eke things out to with 30 runs of New Zealand that would be a fair reflection of things, and pretty funny too.
If we can get 400 we will be well in contention. I can't see that happening though 😡
If they just swung and hoped they'd probably get another 30-40, if their eye is in, but if they try to go for 1-2 an over for 30 overs they will be our after 20 runs.

Little of both - he clearly wanted to get banned and provoked it, as is his wont from time to time.

And they have; when the game is resumed after tea the Kiwis will, effectively, be batting at 84-0.
I do think football adopting the American Football approach of having the ref explain their call to the stadium is a good one, so there are some things the world cup has done right (some of the rule changes too, in theory, but they're already inconsistent in applying them).
Pundits talk a lot about reffing consistency and a lot about refs applying common sense. The reality is in football you can't fully do both of those - and either on their own are worse than refs being a bit inconsistent and sometimes not applying common sense.
Betting on Ukraine to win is a mugs game (worse than betting on PAK Womens cricket) despite a few wins here and there IMO!
I’m not betting, just massively cheering on Ukraine from the sidelines.
Whilst you support Trump
For the 100th time no I don’t support him. I just don’t think he’s Hitler, and try to correct some of the more deranged things said about him.
If you need to correct something 100 times, perhaps consider that you are not portraying yourself that way.
It’s not my fault that most of this board has severe TDS.
Alright let’s tackle this head on.
What is an example where you think Trump is right and this board wrong? Just one will do.
Ooh, so where to start.
That there is rampant election fraud in the US
That conflicted foreigners should be deported immedaitely
That illegal immigrants should be deported
That hundreds of billions of dollars a year are lost to fraud
That NATO has been supported purely by the US for decades, and that European nations need to step up
That most of those convicted for the 6th Jan protest were innocent bystanders
That Iran must be stopped from acquiring a nuclear weapon by any means necessary
That everything bad in the last four decades of the Middle East has Iran’s fingerprints on it.
That Israel has the right to defend itself, and has generally behaved well in response to the Oct 7th attacks.
That Gaza will only behave itself if allowed to prosper economically
That the Democratic Party is becoming infested with communists and antisemites.
But mostly it’s not actually policy positions that people are annoyed by, it’s Trump himself. They either take him far too literally, or they start from the premise that whatever it is must be bad because Trump is doing it or supports it, and work backwards from there.

Where to start? What about, “That everything bad in the last four decades of the Middle East has Iran’s fingerprints on it.” The last four decades of course includes Islamic State, a fundamentalist Sunni group who persecuted Shi’a Muslims and was opposed by Shi’a Iran. IS does not have Iran’s “fingerprints” on it. Before that, and still in the last four decades, we had Saddam Hussein in Iraq, another foe of Iran. Does Saddam’s invasion of Kuwait and attempts to get WMDs have Iran’s “fingerprints”?
As for electoral fraud, https://youtu.be/ccUaY9rcx5U sums up that debate nicely. That was when Trump walked out of an interview recently when the interviewer pointed out that he’d never presented evidence of his claims of electoral fraud.
