I’ll give it a go. He’s a nice lad really, but it’s a bonkers post. The majority of Gazans do not want Hamas to return to power after the war. The idea that the whole population hate Westerners & are terrorists is nonsense & simply not true. Funnily enough it’s the same mindset that influences the IDF & their war machine. The AI system they use sets an acceptable civilian death ratio of 1 fighter to 15 innocent civilians. Israel’s allies have acknowledged this is unacceptable for targeting of low level Hamas members. Israel didn’t used to carry out these indiscriminate tactics, they used to do things very differently. October 7th is no longer an excuse for what they’ve done and the world is beginning to realise this, a few on here still cling on & try to defend it. Widespread reports of IDF soldiers acting against orders as well. Nearly 200 dead aid workers & 146 ruined facilities is no accident of war. This is a bigger story because there’s 3 British lads, but it’s been going on for months. They were on a route clearly agreed with the IDF. Netanyahu & his mob are extremists. No better than Putin. They clearly have wider aims than the destruction of Hamas & want yet more land for Israel. Thank fck the good people of Israel can vote them out. Palestine needs the same rights to form a state.

I am sick of all this Brexit didn’t fuck us. It did and it has. All so people could pretend they are stopping foreign people coming over. Brexit was a racist vote generally backed by folk who think we shouldn’t have foreign people in the uk but want to spend their retirement in Spain, Portugal etc it royally fucked one of my work opportunities as it is harder and more expensive to get a visa for me as a British person than an EU citizen.

Nothing a bit of fencing and a few whacks off the elders can’t sort

You're clearly a good bloke but your view on politics could be deemed debatable? Maybe

Great comeback

Welcome back Marc

Thank you, and to @Zico for the temporary password reset... part time my arse 😃

I'm back.

if we win this and either Oxford or Lincoln drop points, play-offs is secured

I dont mate , i was on my way out and someone told me to stay till the end so i sat on the step and fucking sky caught me 😂

👍🏻

Here's the new Scottish one.

Sounds like his mates are Portsmouth fans

So non of you went to Wembley last year? I’m smelling pompy fan

Do you know any racists that didn't vote for it

That really isn't the case

It's not all bad round the Toffees though. I still think that picture is great Pablo.

You enter into debate with people and when you get the chance you vote. Of course it can feel like 'what difference do I make ? Or can I make ?' But it is not about the individual impact it is the collective power of a group of people. It is true in every aspect of life if you feel strongly enough about something and can generate the energy and support you can make a difference. Brexit is an example, Farage a one time was seen as a loony grifter pushing an agenda that would never go anywhere, roll on a few years, he is now a loony grifter who won the biggest vote in history. The Postmasters never gave up, the Hillsborough families. Sometimes just 'cracking on' is not enough. If you are happy that is what you want to do, fair play but there may well be something at some time in your life that needs more than 'cracking on' for different people it will be different things

You can control them - we can all vote, we can all make our voice heard when we know something isn't in the national interest. Its not moaning - its standing up for a position you believe is correct, otherwise throughout the whole course of human history nothing would have ever changed. I'd say 'just cracking on' is apathy at the moment, and that's the last thing this country needs.

I get that mate. Thing is nobody knows what could have been if everything stayed the same. Things have improved for some since brexit. I've said before ... I don't know if brexit has impacted me good or bad. I'm doing good but I personally don't think it's down to brexit.

The problem is, is that you are describing things at a micro not a macro level, that and its utter inanity. 'Its the work hard and it doesn't matter what happens with the national economy you will be fine' line so beloved of those that don't see the problems until they are there or the I worked hard and have a house rather than buy fancy coffee mob, which is so utterly wrong that'd I'd be tempted to ask you to sit in some of those school classes rather than build them furniture. The country is poorer, this even effects those school budgets, and as budgest get cut work decreases for those reliant on the public sector as wages are stagnant in the face of inflation, or in the private where there is less money in the public purse to afford things. Some people do well out of downturns, always have, but the vast majority get increasingly poorer, no matter how many hours are put in. Mortagages and Rents soaring and if you don't have the means for a second job or ability to engineer new clients to cut the cloth then goodbye. The arrogance, and lets be honest sheer stupidity, of some to even ask the question - 'well are you hungry?' 'No?' 'Well, no problem then is there, pal' In the face of millions of people in the UK being fed by foodbanks in the seventh richest economy in the world is breathtaking, shameful and pinpoints just how fucking low we've fallen as a collective country; whilst all the time the government weedles at those divisions to remain in power and those idiotic enough to bite do. Apologies, there is some strong perjoratives there, but after everything we've been through in the past decade, the state the country is in and everything that was warned about or even visible throughout history, that some people can still spit Tebbit-esque rot is something really starts to stick in the craw - although is shows how so many people were led to drink from this particular Brexit trough. Personally I'm chasing late billing clients, I've not had a day off since christmas and thats literally not in an oh that was a nice bank holiday weekend back to Mon-Fri sort of way, not one day where I have not been with clients, working, billing, whatever - was hoping for a few days next week with the kids but a potentional new job has come up so I'm lucky enough to still have parents I can ask down to look after the kids whilst I pitch but still I understand I'm luckier than most but - and get this - it doesn't mean: - Brexit hasn't economically impacted the country - As a country we are poorer - People have less money - and finally that Hard Work isn't just the magic arrow, as many equally hard working Britains would I'm sure, love to tell you.

My mistake. I meant Under-12's not Under-13's!

My grandson has just turned 12 and his renewal is £59

I think you're wrong. For a start ... Someone that has nothing to lose has exactly that. Things stay the same for them or it gets better. You've got to go out and do it yourself. Before brexit I lived month to month and rented. Everything me (council employee) and my wife (NHS Nurse) earned ... we spent on bills and debt. No going out, no holidays away (except local camping) No fancy cars or takeaways, debt collectors at the door ... it was grim. I worked more and set up a second income making outdoor furniture for schools, community centres etc. Making more money wasnt down to Brexit, its what we needed to do for a better life. Most the debt we had was in my wife's name. She decided to get a IVA. Still has it now. We fucked up in the past with our money. But WE made it right through hard work. If your mindset is to blame others for your misfortune without doing anything about it ... you deserve to be miserable. You're saying without Brexit I'd be better off? I guess it's the case for some. Mostly to those that already have enough money. I still rent a house worth a lot more then I could ever afford. I've two decent cars and now go on 3 holidays abroad a year. If that's down to brexit I'm a lucky one. But I know it isn't ... we've just work hard and now live comfortably.

He could also stop the ban on ticket sales in ESL

Either? Israel is not a Terrorist state. Hamas are. The population of Palestine back Hamas and cheer when Western countries are attacked. I back Israel ... not a Terrorist Sate.

Don’t get what’s in this for the club (aside perhaps for a bit of PR with ST holders). Unless we were selling out each week (which we never will) the club loses money on any match-by-match sales to punters buying these seats compared to non-ST seats (by having to credit the fiver/tenner to the STH). Most unlike Neil this one 😵‍💫

As good as place as any but where is @Marc505?

His father was a Jock who played 110 games for us before going to PNE, Glossop(!) then Plymouth where presumably he remained after retirement.

So I can buy a U-18 ticket at £45 (?), then sell it 23 times for £5 a pop ? I am in.

I agree; started the season well until the pain got too much. He will come good again but coming on late and trying too hard is an issue.

Collins+Bod at home are a class act, their link up play & natural ability shines massively with a good playing surface. Where as Dion+Vic in prior home games looked lost, fighting with the ball every time it came up to them & devoid of any serious threat. Then again in an away game on shit pitches I'd much rather have a Vic/Dion chasing lost causes, pressing, doing the dogged work asking questions as neither Bod/Collins have really shown anything in an away game not necessarily their fault it's the lack of confidence & safety first approach on the ball in building up. I felt for Vic when he got injured as he came into some good form, looked sharp & lead the line brilliantly away at Barnsley with Collins. They all have their strengths/weaknesses just a shame we haven't got the options as it's a lot of fire power for the level with plenty of goals in them 4.

When its just easier to block everyone you mildly disagree with
