pingpong

This is fairly standard nowadays, since about 5 years ago, I believe it is related to the medical facilities and tech that is available pitch side nowadays, whereas in the past the afflicted would just have to be carted out for medical attention away from the stands, nowadays they are treated in-situ, defibs etc. Abandonment would suggest that after the incident, there were not enough medical staff available to cover further incidents and so call off will be safety related.

I'd argue that Uruguay, ivory coast and Italy would be harder, which is also possible. Other teams in our group could be Croatia, Uruguay, Norway, Morocco, Senegal, Australia, Ghana, Italy, Denmark, Sweden, Turkiye. All of which I'd argue are better than Jordan or Panama.

Usually I'm blinkered about our players, while they are here, and blindly optimistic. As an example, I still think downs needs minutes. I like Stephens. I thought Mara was ok. I wanted Carrillo to have more of a chance. I thought dia showed flashes of skill. Baz is in my top eight all time saints keepers. Even I can see aribo has been hopeless. What is his top speed? I don't think we know, because his acceleration is so slow that he never gets there. He needs a hundred yards to gather momentum and as such, just lopes around and watches players run past and away from him. I always consider it game over when he comes on. He's like the antichrist. Or the Antiscienza.

For me, our top 8 GK of my lifetime would be: 1. Niemi 2. Shilton 3. Flowers 4. Maik Taylor 5. Boruc 6. Baz 7. Forster 8. Jones The rest have all been much of a much. Baz only makes top 8 because of his exceptional distribution and is the best of the modern style of keepers.

Manning not at the races today. I'd rather see welligton or Frasier even, depending on whether we want to attack or defend their rw. Not Manning though, not today.

We all bleed red and white. White blood cells make up about 1% of your blood, while red blood cells make up about 44%. It's not a disorder, although supporting Saints may well be.

Doesn't that mean they will intercept small boats at sea? (Providing no passengers on board) How is that nothing? Or have I misread it?

Badenoch calls Reeves the worst chancellor of all time. I'm not really sure that is accurate. At least this time I've not had to scramble to remortgage my house. (I took a 5 yr fixed on the day truss and kwarteng were fucking the interest rates, sneaked in at 3.6%)

Still's tactics and formation finally coming good, he is unlucky it didn't click whilst he was Still here, but then again, he wasn't picking the right goalkeeper, so maybe that came back to bite him, it's hard to dominate games when you have McCarthy slowing everything down. Funny that people on here were apoplectic about still creating the rwb role for Fellows, turns out he just needed a couple of games to learn the position.

You're not supposed to hit people around the face anymore, even if it is one of your team mates.

Here is a blast from the past when you moaners all had the keeper you wanted. https://www.southamptonfc.com/en/video/highlights-bristol-city-3-1-saints-25-26 Now imagine that was bazunu. He'd have gotten all kinds of grief, especially for their second.

People using John Barnes and Saka as examples of popular role models is crazy, when the level of racist abuse they both got was insanely high every time they made the smallest mistake. Beckham got hate for being a prick on the pitch and getting sent off when we needed him, saka got hate because he didn't score a penalty, there IS a difference in standards when judging players. I don't say it because I know people on here would melt over it, but I definitely noticed a difference in treatment of blond, blue eyed Ramsdale when he arrived (and immediately conceded a couple of dodgy goals), and the treatment that calamity McCarthy receives, someone who literally jumps out of the way of the ball on his goal line, compared to a certain young prospect who plays in goal for us (and who has zero attitude problems).

Fish rot starts from the gut, just for info.

Just a quiet call for posters on this thread, it sounds like this nic poster is experiencing some challenges with their mental health, and when they post like above, it might be kinder to ignore them than antagonise them. I will only post this once on the matter for this reason. I'm sure they will read this. I'd say take a breath, step away from this forum, and logically consider whether your quality of life could improve if you find someone to speak to, potentially a professional listener or therapist. You don't have to answer to this or any post, you don't have to feel defensive, we don't know each other and never will, just take it as well meaning advice and give it some thought next time you are feeling calm. I can highly recommend a social media break too as it seems like it is a trigger point for you. The voices on this forum should ultimately be an irrelevance, and the frustration you feel could just be a project of conflict within yourself - something that you can work through with the help of others. Just something to think about.

I guess it comes down to whether we want to have threads that LGBT allies shouldn't come into because there is homophobic content in them, or whether we want that stuff removed. I've made a couple of reports on here for the really horrific stuff, one of which was dead body pictures on the terrorist attack thread, and the moderators added a trigger warning to the thread title. Maybe we should do the same one for this one, (may contain homophobic and/or transphobic views), or move it to the Muppet board. A lot of people don't want to see "banter" that pokes fun at LGBT people, or homophobic jokes about our own fan representatives, on a site supposedly for all saints fans.
