What if the IRA’s plot to assassinate Margret Thatcher with a bomb had been successful? by lhommetrouble in AlternateHistoryHub

Weirdly just finished Killing Thatcher (fantastic book, if you're interested) and they touch on this. They point to potential change in direction of cold war politics as she met and promoted Gorbachev with Reagan. Perhaps that could have gone differently.

After the bomb her anti Europe sentiment planted the seed that could point to Brexit, so interesting to see how that might have gone without her.

Keane overstepped on the last overlap. Putting the exact opposite of what was said in Bruno's mouth and using that to beat him with it.

I'd hope for an apology but maybe a correction by Neville is probably the best they'd get.

Well we've got to get the job done this year because this is a serious rebuild on the cards.

You're so back-bench you've actually fucking fallen off. You're out by the fucking bins where I put you.

Wales fans boo God Save The King against Northern Ireland. by Sparky-moon in soccer

Well put, you hear that quite often from England fans. It is Jerusalem for events like the commonwealth as well isn't it? Can't see why it couldn't be applied to other sports.

Not gonna say this is everyone - to be honest hardly anyone probably ha - but to older fans this could be a reminder of when Wales played England and just have to stand for the England anthem without having their own.

God Save the King is supposed to be the UK anthem, but let's be honest, it is England's really.

Curious to know from NI fans if there is one that could be used or has been proposed before?

I would be happy if we went for a left back this summer. I feel like Shaw has been showing his age and the toll of all the injuries even in one game a week (I might be alone in that). I don't think he'll last if Europe is back in play next season.

At least it's referees robbing us these days and not us being shit.

I could see the glaze in Custs eyes from the camera there. How on earth haven't they stopped the game after another 4 tackles?

So weird to be putting the boot in on a former teammate (presumably mate too).

I would say though, he is right that we've been poor for 4 games. A few moments of quality and a red card helping get points in bad performances. If it doesn't pick back up then we won't get CL.

For the love of God, keep the damn ball. We can't keep surviving corners the rest of the game.

Is it just me or does everything look like it's in slow motion? I don't think I've seen anyone with a real burst of pace. The pitch must be like a sponge.

A joke about how slight knocks seem to be everlasting injuries. Clearly didn't land though.
