    The French are useless but happy to pass on the problem to us. The BBC are complicit in some kind of voyeuristic tragedy whilst making a political point. 

    Thank fuck we took back control.

    Don’t agree with anything he said but this week I’ve seen the BBC and the French police watch boats set off from France live on tv. One of them resulted in the death of five migrants. Not sure which is worse to be honest. 

    Pretty sure the one who thinks it should be government policy to watch people drown is worse.

    Corbyn only did the gig for 5 years.

    And his tenure ended 4 years ago, yet he's still brought up in the Commons by the actual Prime Minister. Fucking embarrassing.

    I’m all for women’s football lusty, I’ve two granddaughters who absolutely love it so please don’t misunderstand me but surely the men’s game at EFL level must be more highly rated than the WSL, especially for important events like the play offs. I accept that TV and viewing play a part but surely not to the extent that they take precedence over top men’s football. There has to be a point where the authorities grow a pair and insist on that. I’d actually like to see the viewing figures for a WSL game compared to the EFL play offs because I’d be very surprised is the WSL were higher.

    Where has it been confirmed that the WSL is being prioritised over EFL play-off fixtures?

    My mates son has just been suspended from local football (he is 18) for the rest of the season because he said to the female referee "you should be in the kitchen" as she went to book him

    Good.

    I'm there early and In all honesty, I think Gilks work with the keepers pre match is top class. He really works them, all of them. I know you can say it's his job and you'd expect no less but I'm still impressed.

    And I still wouldn't want him firing shots at me from 20 yards. 

    We always get there early as my lad likes watching the warm up. Totally agree, Gilks is a real asset and you can tell all the players love him. A mate of mine knows him quite well and says he's a top bloke.

    Well this person is privvy to the numbers and no reason to make them up

    Not sure why you'd doubt it, unless you think they're making it up

    Midweek, on TV, very small away following, sparse home ends

    Certainly nearer 10k than 17k 

    Often the case midweek

    I don't give a fuck to be honest.

    we will

    we know a member of the turnstile team, they know exactly how many come through the gate before the official attendance is announced

    we knew there was only 10k on v Oxford just before they announced it as 19k as they told us on whatsapp, as they do most games

    Was there fuck only 10k against Oxford 😂 No wonder your mate has ended up working on turnstiles

    No idea mate , but I’m not saying it is, I’m saying why St George’s day may be playing” catch  up “ with other national festivals as people perceive it more these days than they used to do with a few examples of why I THINK that . 
    it’s a rambling musing, not a statement of fact, just my thoughts 
     

    Fair enough.

    People get too obsessed with the “ he’s not English he’s Turkish “ or whatever. 
    that’s not the point, he’s a saint , the Patron saint of England ,it’s a religious day so the day is celebrated in England , and should be . 
    Jesus wasnt English  but there’s loads worship him in England 

    religious festivals don’t hold the same party style celebrations in Protestant cultures generally historically due to idolatry, so would be more refined service rather than marching around with statues etc and wild parties , probably why St George’s day traditionally a bit low key along with the fact England and the English nationality had never really been under threat or the under dog so the need to demonstrate who they are was never felt required as it was with other nations , Ireland and st Patrick’s day is a good example of the difference there being the exact opposite. 
    ( though the pubs used to be closed on st Patrick’s day and it was the diaspora gathering started the drinking reputation for the day) 
    maybe people feel their culture is being taken away more these days, whether that be immigrants, “ wokeism” or whatever and want to demonstrate they are still English 

    maybe people want to show there still an England even if the England they are celebrating never really existed anyway , more one they want to exist , who knows 
     

    National days are usually independence days too, which England has never had nor needed to celebrate. 
     

    end of the day, people being patriotic, having a few beers and celebrating what they perceive as good about England , no matter what they’re dressed in is no harm , as with everything it’s the line between being proud of where you are from and hating anyone not from where you are from that get blurred with some . 

    So basically loads of deluded cunts pretending there's more to "being English" than just being born in England. What "culture" do these people think is being 'taken away' from them?

    Same

    It's very unlikely, obviously, but if it gets to an hour, we're comfortably winning, and it's still 0-0 over in Derby...

    I'd probably spend the next 30 minutes spewing.

    I don't recall lumping a tenner on Maidstone to win at Ipswich either, or Carlisle to win at Peterboro or Bolton.

    Its a game of football, that referees have a say in, hence Derby fans will be having the odd panic this week however unjustified that is.

    Surely most of us can't help having the faintest of hopes in the back of our minds that the occasion gets to Derby, while we play without any pressure. Even the the tiniest chance is still a chance.

    Can’t wait for Saturday to be over so we don’t have to listen to any more deluded cunts thinking we will finish 2nd. It’s embarrassing 

    Nobody genuinely believes we're finishing 2nd. But then nobody believed Sheffield Wednesday would turn around a 0-4 last season...

    People wanting to plan ahead should we get to the final it’s not moaning at all.

    EFL should have confirmed the kick off time by now

    I agree. My point is, it's nothing to do with the club.

  16. 6 minutes ago, DirtySanchez said:

    If the club know it's 3pm say so

    If the club know it's 5.30pm say so

    If they don't know, say so

    There's nothing arrogant there 

    As along as it is done with confirming the semi final dates 

    Why would the Club release a statement saying "We don't yet know the KO time of the Play Off final we might not even be playing in"? 😁 Just let the authorities confirm it ffs. It's like people are absolutely itching to find something to moan about.

  17. 5 minutes ago, DirtySanchez said:

    That's not what you said though

    You said it would be arrogant if the club confirmed the KO time ahead the season finishing 

    They can't confirm that until the authorities confirm it 

    So how could the club be arrogant?

    In response to Steejay saying the club should say something...
