    I think you said the quiet part out loud.

    I get all the duty of care stuff but Hardaker should be on such a tight lead that every indiscretion since and including the 2014 homophobic comments and especially the 2015 incident with the student should have seen him sacked by the clubs he was at. The fact that clubs have indulged him and treated him in a way they wouldn't a lesser or junior player is fundamentally wrong.

    In soccer, clubs that I'm aware of are now refusing to have those who cant behave in or outside of the club in their squads at academy levels.

    Done something similar, great idea, so as well as the above > 

    Tourist-wise for me I'd say Carcassonne would be the highlight so I'd build it into there, has an amazing old walled town on the edge of the modern one. Couple of hotels inside it too and a decent restaurant & bar collection. If you start in Toulouse it's an easy trip.

    Lezignan's nearby, not that great in itself (nice enough), but there's some great stuff around it in terms of vineyards and pretty villages, and works as the next place on. Moving on towards the coast I don't think there's a team in Narbonne at the moment, but the ground's there to see and it's a great city to visit. 

    Then finally I'd add Saint Gaudens is another one to visit, on the edge of the Pyrenees. I did it on the way "back" to Toulouse - you can make a circular route having come down the coast from Narbonne to Perpignan (well, not quite circular, but if you like driving through mountains etc it's worth the contrived detour via Ax-Les-Thermes). 

     

     

    The mountain pass road from Mijanes is amazing - just dont stop your car anywhere near the ponies.....

    Since I first mentioned this Depeche story on another thread a few in-the-know people (well, more in-the-know than me), including a couple of reliable French forum regulars, have suggested that Depeche were not an especially worthwhile source on RL (the writer is a prolific tweeter but hasn't tweeted about RL once this year) so it's probably worth taking it with more than a pinch of salt.

    Matt Shaw's article this evening seems to suggest too that there probably isn't really a crisis there

    Steve Brady is saying it’s just scurrilous gossip.
