Vacamion

The last man red card stuff was introduced to prevent cynical last ditch tackles, which would prevent a goal. Not sure that's that.

The ref bears a certain resemblance to Leandro "I see Dead People" Trossard.

Serbs are going to end up playing behind closed doors. They just can't behave themselves.

Agree. They were really lucky with injuries last season. That can't last. And it won't under Ange.

It won't be Glasner, surely? Haven't Forest done enough damage to Palace?

Will be fun watching them get a "name" in who wants to play their own version of tiki-taka with a team Nuno honed into soak-it-up-and-counter-attack specialists. I reckon their next manager is gone by February.

People who care about this stuff, and let it influence politics in any way whatsoever, scare me. Conflating "Britain" and "England" in matters of religion is asking for trouble. 17th Century style. Luckily, in Scotland it's now deffo atheism.

I always thought that supranational corporate bodies, megamoney and global trade would make the Nation State less important. Brands would be bigger than most countries. Large trading blocs would make flags and anthems and border crossings less important. But with the retrenchments of the last 15 years, and especially since 2016, I see that it was all a dream and I didn't know my Fukayama from my elbow.

You wouldn't have expected it, but there are a few bits of Glasgow with Saltires having gone up on lamp posts, seemingly imitating what's going on down there. Given what goes on with other "flegs" and marches every Summer, you would think Scotland would be a bit wary of that kind of thing.

I agree, I was thinking of the direction the thread might take.

If it went ahead, it would be for the best if the Goverment basically became the only legal pusher and operated to plough profits back into society. But you just know, if ever they legalised the sale of cannabis (which they aint going to do, let's face it, they've had their fingers in their ears on the issue for half a century ) they would give licences to a few large corporations who've slipped them a bung. PPE all over again.

He doesn't look very dead just now.

This thread will last about two minutes because people in general have lost their marbles arguing about the issue that GL always talks about. (Or perhaps because people don't understand libel / Contempt of Court stuff ) As a general observation, he has booted his own life in the baws - he has chucked his marriage, his reputation and his career down the gurgler, because he became 24 hours a day obsessed with that thing that he is obsessed with. Even people who might agree with some of his views wouldn't be associated with him. It's nutjob on the bus energy.

That can't be real, surely?

Interesting that the SSN reporters outside the grounds are all in safe places where the general public can't get at them. No repeat of #dildogate.

This is quite something:

Jeez that was horrid football.

Having seen it, the Ipswich last minute pen was a weak decision. Not to deny that the ref let Derby off a few times before that, but it was a passage of play that you wouldn't expect to result in a penalty.

Worth recalling that Sunderland were heading out of the Play Off final, trailing to Sheff United who were outplaying them, and Sunderland looked like they'd run out of ideas when they got a goal against the run of play and it all changed. Sliding doors moment.

The added on time penalty at Old Trafford. Inevitable.

Buy him some attacking options.

Soz, I don't know whats wrong with my brain, I've referred to Skipp as Winks twice this evening. Early onset exSpursia. Apologies.

Fair play, Soumaré, SKIPP, Vesty, Thomas all defied the critics.

Watching Monga this season

Soumaré MOTM. Well, damn.
