There is video footage of a guy wrestling a gun from one of the shooters. Very brave man and clearly saved lives.

Something does change in the second half. We look more confused and disjointed. Aribo, Archer etc get stick for not changing things for the better when they come on but with the team looking less coherent (lack of fitness?) it is like turning up to a kids game on a playground where people have a vague idea of what they are supposed to be doing but not doing it how and where they should. We rarely play to Archer’s strengths. Robinson showed signs of being a decent player but has now regressed to another bit part player who doesn’t add much when he comes on. There was a lot of talk about clarity when Eckert got the job. I saw little of that yesterday or during the second half against WBA. Perhaps we just sign mostly thick players who can’t work things out on the pitch?

That’s his main strength. Getting in the way. He is one of the worst CH we have had in the air given his size. He has little spatial awareness and can usually be relied up to have a couple of brain farts a game which hand goal scoring opportunities to the other side. Yes, he will have a few decent games a season, but for any club in the Championship with ambition, at best he should only be a bench warmer.

It is indeed. I don’t know what these people hope to achieve other causing even more pain and misery. It won’t change anything other than the people’s lives who have lost family, loved ones and friends. You are right, Netanyahu’s actions in Gaza and the West Bank have painted targets on the backs of Jew’s all around the world. There is a whole new generation who are growing up and seeing Jewish people as land grabbing genocidal aggressors thanks to the actions of his government and the IDF. This is never going to end.

Back in the early 90’s I lived with someone whose Dad was one of the principal singers in the Minstrels. When the main show ended he used to tour with another of the main singers using the brand to sell tickets. By then blackface was less acceptable but he said that the audiences used to be disappointed that they didn’t use blackface in the shows. He, personally, couldn’t see the problem with it and saw it as paying homage to the great black singers. Different times. Lenny Henry had his first big break on the show too, although he disassociates himself from it now. She said that the cast used to treat him like family and were upset by his later comments. Al Jolson was hugely successful in the States and used blackface in his performances. It wasn’t seen as racist at the time and Jolson said that he did it to bring black music to a wider audience. He was against segregated audiences and fought for equal rights for black performers on Broadway. As I said, different times.

Just because you think that one particular journalist is bias in her use of language doesn’t mean to say it is wrong. You won’t find many people who do not agree that Robinson’s political views tick the “far right” boxes as do many of the people who support Reform U.K. That is why they are seen as being “far right,” not because some “loony lefties” have decided to call them that as a pejorative term. As I said to Farmer, various terms are used to differentiate between various degrees of views between left and right. You yourself define anyone left of centre as a “loony lefty.” That suits your narrative. The term “far right” suits the narrative for those who see the difference between moderate right wingers and more extreme right wingers. It has nothing to do with Emily Maitlis specifically but you zoom in again on something to deflect from something else. It is a classic ploy used by the likes of Trump and Farage. The kind of people whose views you seem to have an affinity with.

It was on a broadcast. I didn’t think that you meant them specifically. Here is another article from the Independent that links Robinson with “far right.” https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/tommy-robinson-supporters-christianity-brand-anti-muslim-b2880952.html I’m really not sure why we are having this discussion. Robinson, Reform UK and Farage are all very firmly linked with views that are very widely described as being “far right.” I haven’t made it up. The only people who get upset about the term are those people who share those views. As someone who professes to be a Tory himself, I would assume that you would want there to be a well defined term that disassociated your views from theirs?

Good point. There are only 7 days in a week still and we play 2 games in 7 days. Imagine the extra mental fatigue you must face if someone is telling you that you have played 3 games in 7 days. Poor lambs.

The Faragists won’t like this but it sums up the current situation perfectly. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/other/will-farage-s-trumpian-strategy-work-against-him-he-has-good-reason-to-believe-it-won-t/ar-AA1Sh0EL?cvid=48fb4af33b294ab7bbe9eca5481f8c65&ocid=hpmsn

I still can’t get my head around how poor we were in the second half. No energy. No commitment. No desire to get the second goal. I can live with losing but at least make a fight of it.

I know about their backgrounds and both are highly respected journalists. Your problem is that you are so biased you think everyone else is. Both of them know and understand a lot more about politics than you ever will. You throw around labels but throw your dummy out of the pram when others use labels you don’t like. You support people with questionable values. Own it.

There are plenty of you google are Reform UK a far right party and is Tommy Robinson far right. https://bylinetimes.com/2024/10/07/why-reform-uk-is-far-right/ https://www.theparliamentmagazine.eu/news/article/british-farright-activist-tommy-robinson-to-stand-in-eu-elections Some examples above.

Get Manning off! 😂
