I dont think Hamza should be punished but you can be rightly supportive without endorsing anti-Semitic rhetoric. What is with this massive campaign to frame the phrase as anti-semitic all of a sudden. Both groups have used the idea of river to sea to support their cause for decades... The Israeli flag literally has those stripes of blue to represent the river and the sea, implying that the nation of Israel shall stretch from the river to the sea (what do you think will happen to Palestine then, hmm? Couldnt possibly be what everyone is up in arms about when Palestinians use the phrase...). Its a commonly used rhetorical device. We aren't saying "Free Ukraine" but secretly meaning "Kill all Ethnic Russians in Ukraine" are we? Likewise, I doubt the hundreds of thousands that have adopted the phrase "from the river to the sea" are secretly dogwhistling hatred towards Jews, instead of expressing their support for the Palestinian people,an incredibly wretched and oppressed group. Maybe we should stop absolutely policing every pro-Palestine individual and quizzing their stance on Jews as a retaliation to effectively wanting to end an apartheid regime? Like, what are we defending when we jump down Hamza's throat for his wording. The actions of a neo-fascist, racist regime? Sorry if this is too political for the Championship thread, feel free to delete mods. I am angry about the situation due to familial ties with Palestine and Lebanon, normally wouldn't post about such things. Edited 2 November 2023 by Nicolo Barella 8 1

Sorry to be pedantic but the blue stripes are on the flag to symbolise the stripes on the tallit, a traditional Jewish prayer shawl 4

Nige was a bit of an oracle at Derby tho. Called out Mel Morris at the time and Derby fans hated Nige for it. Proven true in the end. 5

Proven true in the end. Yeah, I was being a little facetious anyway. Pearson wasn't there that long and tends to need time to implement his methods, as he's a builder. I do wonder with Lampard though that this reputation he has is a consequence of the basket case clubs he's managed. I know that can be said of all managers, there's very little mitigating circumstances allowed to measure their abilities but had Lampard dropped back down to the Championship after his exploits at Chelsea the 1st time around then his managerial CV and reputation may well have a different look and feel to it. Bristol City do not have a squad to really challenge promotion without some serious team unity, momentum and a set up that is worth more than the individual parts. All of that is very difficult to foster quickly. The managers who hit the ground running, tend to do so because the club has been massively underperforming and the quality is already there. I think this is another dangerous job for him to take.
Trav Le Bleu Posted 2 November 2023 Posted 2 November 2023 The phrase "river to the sea". Split them north south, they can both be river to the sea. Everyone happy now? What do you mean, no?!

StanSP Posted 2 November 2023 Posted 2 November 2023 This puts our insane start into even more perspective.
Lambert09 Posted 2 November 2023 Posted 2 November 2023 to keep myself grounded i like to remind myself that losing to both ipswich and leeds twice is 12 points. Still plenty of work to do 2

Let's demote/relegate an incompetent ref because Championship has different football rules, there are no fouls or offsides in Championship, everyone playing there is doing it as a hobby. The majority of footballers in Championship are doctors, lawyers etc. 1

Isn't Gillett the same one that sent off Lemina a while back? Quite interesting how some clubs can demand they don't get the same refs again, but Wolves, for example, will probably continue to get Gillett unless they kick up a huge fuss... 1
Unabomber Posted 3 November 2023 Posted 3 November 2023 So funny how these dullards are like yeah that guy is shit and really ****ed up. Shall we suspend him? Nah stick him in the championship so he can **** up one of their games.
Midlands_tractor Posted 3 November 2023 Posted 3 November 2023 Should be a cracking game tonight! There are a lot of temporary foxes fans tuning in tonight hoping you can do a job on leeds 1

They brought him over from Australia because he was supposed to be a great ref.

I was a big fan of him, watched him in the A-league and he did stand out to be fair. Sadly doesn't seem to have hit the heights expected of a referee here. 1
