I got a lot of flak ant the time about suggesting that Netanyahu’s regime deliberately allowed the 7th October attack to go ahead to use it as an excuse to unleash hell on Gaza. Given what has happened since it seems even more likely.

Thought it was a save in real time. Clearly not!

Excellent second half of the season so hats off to everyone at the club for turning things around! Roll on next Saturday!

Phew, great save to save a point at the end. Not for the faint hearted at the death. We seemed out on our feet. Not sure why we didn’t bring a fresh legs. Fair play to Ipswich, they really went for it.

If someone had offered me going into the last matches of the season with a chance of promotion and a semi final with one of the best teams in Europe I would have taken their hand off. More so after the miserable start we had. Huge shout out to everyone at the club for turning things around and making this season one of the most enjoyable for many years.

Beaten by a worldie, no shame in that. There is a gulf in quality between the teams though. We have not disgrace ourselves though against a team who cost gazillions more than ours.

If he does play and scores the winner, will he finally be accepted? I’d feel happier about this evening if Haaland wasn’t playing. Our defence can easily get bullied and bully’s don’t come much bigger than him. Still, this is the equivalent to a cup final for us so hopefully we give a good account of ourselves and who knows…

Lee Anderson has just been thrown out of the Commons for accusing the PM of lying. He seems to have a blind spot about liars when it comes to the leader of the party he is currently in.

The point stands. I posted a factually correct piece of information which you chose to go out of your way to point out that it came from a source linked with feminism, despite being correct. It puts you in the Turkish club Badger. I thought you were better than that. Why post in response to point out that the post is factually correct?

The point is that it was factually correct so I don’t see the problem. How do you know that I didn’t check the information elsewhere? On this particular occasion I took the quote from a thread where several other people added weight to the veracity of the story so I had no reason to think it was incorrect.

Credit where it is due. Tonda is (quite rightly) getting a lot of love at the moment but fair play to SR/Spors having the courage of their convictions, appointing Tonda and his coaching team and sticking with them when the results dropped off. We had a strong squad at the beginning of the season and as we know, Still didn’t get the best out of them. A change of coaching and few additions later and we are back on course. All SR (and Spors) can do is to put people in place and react if the appointments don’t work as expected. This is precisely what they have done and it is currently working. Even if we don’t go up this season we have done what many of us realistically hoped for and expected at the start of the season - being strong promotion contenders.

Indeed. I doubt if Roy Keane would have been half the player he was if he wasn’t a psycho.

Why would he if he was told all was good to go? From what I understand it wasn’t about him not being told that he hadn’t cleared that particular vetting process but that he was told that the appointment was signed off by the people whose job it is to make sure all is ok. It sounds like Starmer has been caught up in a nightmare episode of Yes Prime Minister. It will be interesting to see what comes of the statement from Robbins this week. Whatever you think of Starmer he is no fool. His main problem seems to be that he lacks the political nous of a career politician. As a lawyer he will been sharp on following due process. The fact that he hasn’t stepped down indicate that he is confident that the facts that he will present to the House this week will back up his position. If it is proven that he deliberately lied to Parliament then of course he must go. I think, if that was the case, he would have gone already. Apparently Boris Johnson failed the vetting process when May appointed him as Foreign Secretary but it would appear that the media didn’t see that as a big deal. Odd that considering his association with some very dodgy Russians.

So the story is “mostly accuate.” Why then mention Feminist News? Playing to the forum’s misogynists? Is this better for you? https://www.forbes.com/sites/conormurray/2026/04/16/trump-pulls-funding-for-catholic-charity-that-helps-migrant-children-amid-clash-with-pope/

More consequences of the batshit crazy president’s childish strops… Let's be very clear about what just happened. Pope Leo XIV — the first American Pope — did his job. He called for peace. He spoke out against Trump's war with Iran. He advocated for vulnerable migrants. You know, Pope things. So what did Trump do? He yanked $11 MILLION in federal funding from Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Miami — a program that sheltered and cared for unaccompanied migrant children. Kids. Alone. In a foreign country. With no parents. This program has existed since the 1960s — since Operation Pedro Pan, when the Church helped resettle Cuban children fleeing Castro. Over 60 years of service, recognized as a MODEL for agencies across the country. Gone. Because Trump's feelings got hurt. The program will be forced to shut down within 3 months. Archbishop Wenski says the children currently housed there — kids receiving psychological care, foster placement, and family reunification services — will have nowhere to go. This is not policy. This is a tantrum. This is what happens when the most powerful office on Earth is occupied by someone with the emotional regulation of a half-baked potato. He doesn't care about borders. He doesn't care about children. He cares about revenge. He cares about punishing anyone who dares to disagree — even the Pope. The cruelty IS the point. The pettiness IS the point. And the children who suffer for his bruised ego? They're just collateral damage to a man who has never once been held accountable for anything in his life. A sitting U.S. president just declared war on the Catholic Church and on helpless children because a holy man preached peace. Let that sink in.
