@HMRCcustomers I have fixed. I needed to click the error message rather than just fill the box in again

@HMRCcustomers I cannot register for HMRC community. Every time it says “captcha is incorrect”

@HMRCcustomers I have tried and still get the same error. I’ve tried safari and chrome on Mac and Edge on windows as well as iPad and iPhone. I get the same error. I’ve tried on WiFi and 5G. Also need to click “generate a new image” several times before it shows one

@bballbreakdown @OfficialChipC Agreed. Hence my point about “intent” being a bad basketball concept in general.

[Jon Mell @jonmell]

@OfficialChipC this is a travel, right?

[Jon Mell @jonmell]

@OfficialChipC That’s why you ref and I coach(ed) 🤣

[Jon Mell @jonmell]

@OfficialChipC You almost have to get inside the head of the player to judge it according to the rule

[Jon Mell @jonmell]

@OfficialChipC One thing I really like(d) about basketball rules is they never really had the concept of intent. A shot was a shot if it hit the ring. A pass is a pass if another player touched it, a dribble if the same player touched it etc. I saw that clip as a 468, you as a 467

[Jon Mell @jonmell]

@OfficialChipC Good luck differentiating between those two situations. Twitter would absolutely melt down over the nuance of 467

[Jon Mell @jonmell]

@OfficialChipC Yep - but this would suggest it’s a FIBA travel as needs to be touched by another player? Wish this rulebook was as clear as the NCAA one… 🤦‍♂️

[Jon Mell @jonmell]

@OfficialChipC Hmm… looks to me like he tried to pass one handed and then changed his mind. I could be wrong but I don’t think FIBA has as many “intent” rules (eg trying to figure out if a player intended to bounce pass or begin a dribble) as high school/ncaa does

When in doubt… @Pink

@virginmedia internet speed exceptionally slow / outage since a power cut about 3 hours ago in AL1. On your radar?

@bryanfcasey Amazing. Now you’ve replaced the BU structure with something more sensible can you reorganise the BUs themselves to map to your new market facing structure? (half joking 🙃)

@DPMendi8 @bballbreakdown Same in NBA: "A progressing player who jumps off one foot on the first step may land with both feet simultaneously for the second step. In this situation, the player may not pivot with either foot"

[Jon Mell @jonmell]

@OfficialChipC Only a matter of time now…

[Jon Mell @jonmell]

@OfficialChipC @brianmccormick I don’t know why both Fiba and the nba don’t do a video rule book clip on the lifting pivot foot. Would save us all a lot of time…
