If they got to pick and chose who they'd bother rescuing, where would they stop? They'd go out for ships in distress. That's tradition. But people on holiday inflatables? Pedalos (no Portmouth, pedalos before you riot)? Give in to pressure and not assist anyone coming form the direction of France (with other directions to be added)? People with poor fashion choices? The elderly? Just anyone if there's something good on the telly?

He was asked at Rangers what it was that those inside saw. And sure enough, he couldn't answer it then either. 🙂 Still, the process is back underway with a win today. Not seen highlights yet. Losing 3 goals and needing to get 4 is unsustainable. Fortunately, we know how careful he is to change his defensive approach, when points are needed.

An impressive scoreline, with an impressive closing spell, where Bristol just couldn't keep up with us. However, before that they had plenty of the ball, and plenty of that within our final third. Yes, we defended well in the main. But we had the odd slip up , as you'd expect from any team, and they had a few chances that needed a more clinical finishers to put away today. Ballard should be pleased with a lot of his work, bar the final shot, today. But we did enough when defending, and Larin made all the difference in the when it came to being clinical. Great to have such a centre forward with us. Matsuki's work rate also made a big difference. A number of others were quieter, but then did really good things such as JWP, Azaz and Leo. A quieter home game, where we didn't have it our own way until later on. But we worked well, with the subs doing fine too. Perhaps that extra fresh energy helped with the later goals today.

Likewise, I'm very relieved it has failed. And that's with a huge amount of respect and empathy to a lot of individual cases. For something of this magnitude, it was disappointing that for all of the concerns and previously suggested amendments, an identical bill was proposed simply as a procedural measure to prevent the Lords blocking it.

Since my solution to the immigration crisis is the, very traditional, invasion of France, such reminders and petty actions are all part of the plan. 🙂

Uses formula to determine which SaintsWeb poster is touchy about using Excel and having meetings...oh, hi Gloucester. 🙂

I wonder what happens when the balaclavas are banned. Will the protestors switch to niqabs and burkas? Can't see the government banning them.

If there were to be another Superleague, Wrexham would get an invite. Box Office. 🙂

He's been an outfield player as a youth, so he's already tried that.🙂 'Growing up, Gavin Bazunu wanted to score goals, not save them. Shamrock Rovers forced his hand with Stephen Bradley to blame more than anyone else, having given Bazunu his debut against Bray Wanderers at age 16 in June 2018. By then, it was too late. “I hated it to be honest. I first went in goal at Shamrock Rovers when our goalie was sick. Drew the short straw and had to go in.” When was this, under-14? “I was eight or nine. Managed to fend it off for another four years before I had to go in permanently. I’d play anywhere else. After a season at Leicester Celtic, one half in goal, one half outfield, when I scored 10 goals, I returned to Rovers and realised if I wanted to go higher, goalkeeper was my best chance.” https://www.irishtimes.com/sport/soccer/2026/01/31/gavin-bazunu-the-performance-in-hungary-encapsulates-the-change-in-irish-football/

Awww. I was hoping to swill a beer past the chocs I was eating, while taking aim. But only one of the three (admittedly superb choices), is it?
