Can not speak for @gonzo but coming back yesterday we ended up with one of our seats double booked with a protester. We chatted most of the way back, I told him I was not a supporter and he was fine with that. He had only booked day before so had paid over £100 for his train ticket but said it was worth it and had had a great day. Could not really explain ‘why’ but it was not a formal interview and I was not constantly asking or trying demand an answer, just 2 blokes chatting. But his main point was that the political parties do not seem interested in him or his life. He was a Scunthorpe fan from near Grimsby, had travelled on his own as he did not want to get dragged into any ‘silly business’. Just seem disillusioned with things and looking for someone who at least pretends to give a shit. We got on fine, even gave him a couple of our beers, then after talking about being a Scunny fan he told us his ‘second team’ is Man Utd. What a complete and utter cunt.

Fucking hell I could name a bunch before getting even close to JDC

Ive had a torrid last 3 weeks or so. I could feel it coming and tried everything to stop it but fuck me I ended up on my arse. I could barely get myself out of the house. Just a feeling of being worthless and useless .Starting jobs and not finishing them. Making every excuse going to not do even the most mundane of tasks. Been a cunt with the Mrs a few time and that then brings on guilt and sadness and compounds the issues. Did a massive bike ride yesterday over near the trough of Bowland in the pissing rain ,wind and hail . I had to drag myself out of bed to go as it had been booked for months I didn't want to let a mate down.My head fell off on the last big climb if i had been alone im not sure i would have come home. I ended up pissing my sides with my mate on the side of a fell in the middle of a hail storm. Few pints after and I have woke up today like the last few weeks have never happened. We are a fucking weird species. Look after yourselves lads

Fantastic goal And a significant involvement from sheehan Get him on the pitch in the oppo half and things may suddenly look a lot brighter

'We want our country back' Unless it's from a South African, Billionaire meglomaniac with US citizenship calling for the dissolution of our democratically elected government 😉😁

Royal and London? They'd be too busy bickering to get anything done!

Frankly I care little for Randall's work ethic, it's the bare minimum that he puts a shift in. Instead I judge him on the fact we paid over a million for him, is playing in a number 10 role with complete freedom to impact games and has virtually done nothing whatsoever. He doesn't pick the ball up and drive at defenders, his shots are weak as piss (never seen him shoot a ball off the ground). He on occasion does 1 good pass at the very most. It's just not good enough. He's got a great striker/strikers to play off. Rapid wingers and solid players behind him. Yes the team is still gelling but it just simply is not good enough. Players either have it or not. And I don't see anything in this guy that shows it at the minute. Get a full fit Dempsey in that role pronto please.

I'm not surprised Gale let his man go.He was off the pitch recieving treatment

If you can’t win don’t lose. And as we’re not doing enough or being clinical enough to win games consistently at the minute, I’ll continue to take the draws. Not ideal but not panic stations

I fucking hate wigan. I hate the club ,the players ,the stadium,the stupid fucking nick name. I hate the whole fucking thing. But most of all I hate their fucking fans and the way they are fucking obsessed with everything bolton wanderers. The only positive I can think of about their scruffy smelly micro following is that their obsession with us means that at least in their wonky eyes we are a massive club. Fuck the tics

Think the guy warrants a new thread. Absolutely tragic news. What a warrior he was.

I travelled down with loads. Some numb cunts obviously. But some just normal folk. Couples and families. Felt a bit surreal. Couldn't help but think how the fuck have we got to this point. We've been failed.

Let’s stop giving them the credence they yearn. They are just another team. The cunts

Abortion is worst than the holocaust Let that sink in

What utter bollocks. 😂 If that was an Imam saying the exact same words, you'd be condemning him as a threat to Western civilization.

Free speech

Comical defending that 🤣 Haaland still as lethal as ever Amorim's fixation with that one formation will get him sacked soon enough

No fighter worldwide has ever done what he did in regards to thousands of fans flying around the world to watch him Doubt it will ever happen again A terrible loss

It does. SS has said he wants the wingers to go both ways, so maybe that will help. That is what Kieran Lee was so good at though- moving into space, making overloads, and also getting the odd goal. Would often end up wide too. Randall could do worse than watch some of his games.

We just look a better team with Sheehan on the pitch.

After 8 games he’s Good post but disagree on Randell. It’s not gonna work here. He should be the runner off those Burstow flick ons and it rarely happens. He just isn’t gonna do it here. I’d like to see 2 up top or at worst Sheehan or Morley (Dempsey for his 5 games a season)

Lovely And not a flying can of carling in sight

Might be one for the politics threads, but how can GMP not cope with us playing a 3pm v Wigan, but the Met managed to have every London club bar QPR playing within London yesterday, plus all the march malarkey!

I have to agree with this on the defence. Christie for Cogley seems a no brainer once Christie is up to fitness, and the bits I've seen of Taylor make me think he'd be good as the left centre back. Johnston is just that bit too small and switches off. On the number 10 role, unless Forss can do it I'd sack it off and use an extra midfielder like Sheehan. I really don't want to see Randall there chickening out of tackles against Wigan next week.

The guy steering the dingy doesn’t want to go to France though, nor his passengers. They just simply turn off their engine.

The only way they stop, is when we make it far, far less an attractive option to come here. Until that changes, they keep coming, no matter how many boats we have patrolling the channel. Bloke on the radio the other day (claiming to be from Border Force) said that as its such a small body of water, it's nearly impossible to detect these boats, as they are so small, they can hide in the wake of larger vessels, of which there are many. He says the quirk is that is the crossing was far bigger, it wouldbe much easier to spot them and turn them back. The fact it's such a tiny and busy stretch of water, is what actually makes it so difficult to police. This caller rang in, as a result to one of those dicks who thinks it must be easy, because Australia managed to turn back some boats. He may be wrong, I honestly wouldn't know, but it does sound plausible

I Was fortunate enough to be in his company numerous times. He really was one of the lads. He was always on The Jolly Boys Xmas doos, which I’m sure a few on here would have attended. There would always be a queue by his table for fans wanting pictures and autographs. When the strippers came out you would here him say, “come back in 20 mins lads my dance is here” he would then have his dance, have tits rubbed in his face for 20 mins and then carry on having photos 😂 Absolute shit news, a top boxer who brought me some of my best nights watching boxing. R.I.P.

He was not a massive Farage fan but think that was because TR does not like him Proper Politicians then

You'll never ever see anything like him again. Tens of thousands of (mostly working class) folk spending thousands to fly across the world for boxing. And he was fucking brilliant in his pomp. You don't get in the Hall of Fame just for having banter. A terribly sad end to an incredible ride.

Not sure I agree we have 'great' striker(s), but beyond that this sounds about right. He must have shown something at some point to get the reputation he had at Posh. And he hit double figures for them in 23/24. But for a million quid we need a lot better than 'does a half decent job cutting off passing lanes when the opposition have the ball'.

It was Cogley. He then does his usual throw his arms up in the air and look really confused when the goal goes in. He’s shit

Leyton Orient away mate

I'm not concerned He had a season long loan in the championship last season And for whatever reason Brighton then let him go to L1 for a season So if he's playing well and we're challenging I think he'll stay, unless Brighton get a bid too good to turn down

Hoping the win at there’s last season and the jubilation at the end of the game has brought home to the club and players just how important this game is to some of our fan base.

I think it's less about how we think of it and more about how they think of it We should expect them to be bang up for it and so so should we

SS seems to have made us hard to beat. No doubt the usual doom mongers will be out in force. To my mind, this is the foundation we need. Just have to find a way to register wins now.

Yeah, millions of thickos have been given the directions to find their voice. If they think Farage is the answer to their problems, they're in for a massive shock. It's going to be fucking hilarious.

Right, the old gipper didn't break a nose therefore shouldn't be arrested. Neither did Lucy Connelly, nor indeed the Councillor. Age isn't and shouldn't be a defining factor as to whether someone is arrested. Neither should an individual's perception of what should or shouldn't be a crime. Whether that arrest subsequently leads to prosecution is a different matter- CPS have to decide whether it is in the public interest etc. The legal profession also have a duty to ensure fairness and equality throughout. Laws can be altered, scrapped or made anew according to the politics/society of the day, and people can lobby for that. A question I've raised before: what are these people actually demonstrating over? The war in Gaza or the proscribed group? The first is easy to do and won't result in action. The second is an organisation that has repeatedly attacked British companies and military establishments. I'd suggest a good number are misguided, and ought to know better.

25 arrests is nothing tbf.

I dont think inaccurate numbers would prevent people from joining the movement

This is the exact reason this “we concede the least shots” is a load of bollocks. We concede soft goals too often

How the hell can anyone tell whether it looks like a given figure? Especially when many folk are waving flags. It's clearly a lot of people, which should make those in authority take note.

😂😂😂 typical LW post

People have no idea how many a million would look like. But you know a million would look a lot more. Makes sense.

Fully blame the keeper. Dont get it then don’t come out. Jury is out on him. We were better team but 1 shot 1 goal again for them. Still think we are well placed an we aren’t losing games. ACD goal was ace. Gale looks a handful. Dalby looked a real handful. No one is running away atm.

Starmer is on borrowed time. This Mandelson situation is arguably the most damaging of all for him. All this is repeating what has happened before, indeed I heard a comment this morning that Tory MPs have got PTSD from witnessing the same sort of infighting amongst different factions of a party. Having not got rid of Lucy Powell much earlier when she made her comments, he has now created an enemy of her by his reshuffle, and it has backfired now that she has a strong chance of deputy leader. Burnham is now on manoeuvres, and he apparently is in the same camp as Powell. Labour backbenchers are now breaking ranks as they can see the writing is on the wall too. Has starmer got the balls to threaten his party with an election if they don't get behind him? I doubt it, and I'm not sure it would work anyway. Just like the Conservatives, they have lost much of their core vote, have been caught up in the wave "progressive" bullshit and can't find a way out. The nation needs a strong leader, more so now, and we simply don't have one. He's done well in some regards- notably with support for Ukraine, and seemingly with Trump, but on the domestic stage he's fucked. I initially reckoned he'd be gone by spring, but my lad said by Christmas- I'm increasingly thinking he's right. Budget in November, maybe the last straw.

It was almost inevitable that a few idiots would kick off and spoil things. Doesn't matter how many appeals were put out it was bound to happen. Not interested in the comparison game as the damage is done, and it plays into the hands of those with opposing views. Prefer to focus on the largely peaceful nature of it, and the numbers that turned up to make their point. I never believed the suggestion that one million would attend- way off beam for me- but 110,000 is still substantial.
