Have we solved the second half problem now 🤔

Yep! The only change.

True about the full backs. I think Ramsey was one of the first managers to bring in overlapping full backs during the WC in 1966.

Fair enough. I just assumed from your posts that you were solidly behind Farage.

The games are a lot more demanding physically now. The players run further for longer. Full backs didn’t venture past the half way line and wingers didn’t track back. There was no press. Players had time for a breather. Games didn’t last much more than 90 minutes. The pitches were cabbage patches but the ball didn’t travel so quickly. You could waste time by passing the ball back to the goalkeeper numerous times. There is a reason that squads are bigger and more subs are allowed now and that is because the game is physically tougher.

Take a guess. When I referred to Farage as a racist you asked for evidence.

I guess not.

You are the one who is agitated. I’m not sure what about though. Are you upset because I agree that Reform shouldn’t be banned from a Univetsity debate?

Do they have an image of Farage on them?

Oh, I see. I was trying to be generous. For example, we have a Reform supporter here who seems oblivious to Farage’s racist background. I have upset a couple of people on here in the past when assuming people who support others who are clearly racist share their views.

I’m sure you don’t need me to tell you.

What about the tolerance of homosexuality? Why should that be a problem?

What I don’t like is that many people who say they support them don’t seem to understand what they stand for. For example it is well understood by people who have followed Farage’s career that he is racist. Somehow you don’t see that. You say the ban is “pathetic” but would you be happy with some of the people who have been thrown out of Reform for clear race hate comments on that platform? If Reform didn’t attract so many deeply unpleasant people with deeply abhorrent views to their ranks maybe they wouldn’t have this problem. Again, as some people don’t seem able to understand English. I don’t agree with the ban myself. Incidently, I have seen Reform representatives totally embarrassed in debates with University students so I don’t understand the ban.

Why would I? I wouldn’t have a problem with an Islamic representative talking about religion anywhere. Are you referring to someone preaching hate based on their religious beliefs which is something completely different? I said that Reform should not be banned so really don’t know what your problem is.

What is pathetic? Keeping hate out of universities? I don’t agree though that they were banned. Get them on the stage and show how despicable they are through debate and argument.
