Now I've converted it to a white background it is much better. Thanks for the "lightbulb" moment. It's actually very good. Soon get used to the subtleties.

Keeping club info close to his chest maybe? Loose lips and all that..

Favours Reddit. Presumably it won't stay like this!

Well, for a non-goalscorer he seems to be able to score goals. Happy to create too. Happy days.

Isn't that the red half this season?

The Managerial Roundabout
Aye. A number of players going to from what I've seen. A squad rebuild. Maybe it's a cloth cutting exercise.

He's always kept TR at arms length, even further at times. In return, TR has been very critical. That recent march and speeches showed a different approach by TR, and a more conciliatory attitude towards Reform. Maybe things are afoot behind the scenes, as the parties on the right begin to realise they can't afford to keep tearing lumps out of each other. A path they will have to navigate with care.

Just welled up again, you git! 😀 Not sure I've ever skriked so much- going to need intravenous fluids at this rate. Just been to a loch in a forestry area, where we have videos of all three playing a few years back. Pissing down, loads of tears, but the other two love it. Grieving and healing in action.

Aye, had a decent season. I have a suspicion that Burstow won't be back, unless there is a very low cost. I agree that we would need a couple, unless Warren is considered. Could see McAtee being let go if an offer is reasonable too.

Why? They believed the report of a racist attack, and ignored comments from others on scene. Minds made up before getting there. Without that "racism" accusation they would have more likely done what they should have- treat the scene as was presented to them upon arrival. In other words, a man claiming to have been stabbed, with witnesses confirming it.

Stockport County - Play Off Final - 24th May
Absolutely it would. Still a great day, and any nerves over the potential failure were quickly eradicated. Thinking about it, the Crawley game was similar. Away, but needed the result. Solid, comfortable win.

Politics
The "quality" of candidates and mps varies hugely, no doubt about that. Some of them are incredible intellects, with a deep understanding of law. Others have experience of a particular field, but may not be "academic". Some simply want to work for their constituents, and don't have a great desire to go any further- and may not have the ability to do so. Others simply have a desire to use whatever means they have to climb the greasy pole and ascend to the top.

Peterborough only alright! Great occasion that. Fine performance on the day, thoroughly enjoyable and a big fuck off celebration afterwards.

There are similar examples throughout public bodies. RAF email/edict saying they should steer away from white applicants.

Very tricky this. Just had a gander, and on the basis of the pathologists report that his wounds were unsurvivable, I don't see how all the conditions would be met. https://www.cps.gov.uk/prosecution-guidance/gross-negligence-manslaughter Look at point c. Maybe some lesser charge. Their careers will be over come what may.

Stockport County - Play Off Final - 24th May
Apart from one or two particularly eventful playoff games, I reckon fans generally can't tell you who won the play offs from a few of seasons back. No more so than remembering the title winners that season.

Stockport County - Play Off Final - 24th May
Remembered by our fans maybe. Look at the comments, particularly afterwards, how folk have little confidence in so many of our players, and reckon we need a good number of replacements. I doubt that would be the case if we had swept away all before us.

Fair point. I reckon I'd have had Lincoln's as the primary option!

Had dogs previously, and it is always heartbreaking to lose one. I went with my neighbour when his needed putting to sleep. Skriked my head off! They're tying and hard work, but repay that umpteen fold. Just hope my other two get the chance to live a full life and not be taken so soon and so suddenly.

The pubs we have lost
Cheers mate. Others at our feet as I type. Incredibly mixed emotions. The sun has come out this afternoon, unexpectedly so, and we went to a couple of gardens. First one was really special, and the owner shared some valuable information that may help my lad, with his undoubted knowledge in the field of plants and growing. Anyway, returning to the subject, I reckon we should all pile into a boozer whilst up here. Have something to eat, help the pub economy, and celebrate the life of the hound.

2025/26 Highlights
3 goals so late against Wycombe. 2 down with time virtually out. Not breathing a sigh of relief at 2-2 and taking the point. Doubt we'll repeat that again in my lifetime.

There are many cases of things being done unprofessionally. Information is available, it's just whether folk want to find it. Which is the reverse of you post. I agree that in general we don't need to know about the innumerable cases the police deal with. Numerous crimes are readily reported on, and rightly so, where they are particularly serious or unusual, however there is a dearth of reporting generally around issues of unequal policing, along various lines. As I said above, there are also numerous interviews with former officers available too. When former officers reveal previous experience of corruption or poor performance, then you would rightly expect them to make the news. Yet those revelations would appear to be very narrow in their scope- at least historically. That is now changing thankfully.

Likewise. Does illustrate the poor quality of some.of our officers, but I don't need to see it. Plenty of interviews with former officers expressing their concerns, and anecdotes from current ones suggest many are fed up with it all.

Thanks for the kind words gents. Just hollow and lost at the moment, and worried for our lad. We'll get there though.
