    I remember things didn’t turn out too well for him but watched that documentary about his court case last night and he really did seem to suffer from the whole ordeal.

    25 years on has the Bosman ruling been good or bad?

    Like anything I suspect it’s been a bit of both.

    I remember at the time saying it would be the end of transfer fees with clubs just needing to wait for a player's contract to end and then, "sign him on a Bosman"

    Not like me to be wrong 🤔

    One thing is for sure, it would be nice to get in the pub pre & post game, and it would be a refreshing change to talk about the football other than politics and racial issues/tensions.

    You know, like it used to be.

    Happy Football Days 🙂

    Aye, looking forward to it - propping the bar up, paying cash and looking down the barmaid's top.

    I went to a bullfight once in Majorca.

    The crowd were booing like mad when the bull wasn't killed, it was a clear show of disapproval. 

    Same goes when a team is time-wasting,  it is a clear sign of disapproval. 

    But when correlated politically which this truly is all about, then the old race card is pulled out of the tweed jacket by the usual sad suspects.

    Given the way football is going, we will soon have to have a certain quota of coloured people in each team, certain amount of gay people in each team and a certain amount of flat dicks in each team

    If the same applied to the crowd, then Bolton would have 30,000 on every week 

    Post!  👍

    Booing is possibly the most pathetic form of protest ever seen. Grown adults shouting booooooo. Fuck me. Really?

     

    Booing is a better form of protest than what we all saw in Bristol, and other cities this year...

    I wasn't going to the football in the 80's when I believe it was much worse.

    What happened to all the racists? Did they just stop going to the football or did they just stop being racist as they got older and wiser? Or are they still racist but just keep a lid on it nowadays?

    It was bad. Fans used to wait for a black player to touch the ball and then let rip. It was if they'd waited all week to vent that steam. We're talking of a time when 95+% of players were white. As time evolved though, it naturally and thankfully died off.

    Why? What on earth makes you think no deal would be a good option, especially now?

    I've said all along, we should've initially left, in 2016, then negotiated. 

    Just my opinion on it

    Jesus did not think this thread could get worse. 
     

    I will be as pissed off as any other rational person in the country if we do not get a decent deal but people are massively over reacting to little snippets of non news. 
     

    it is the role of the EU to get the best deal for them and the same for us. To say one side is bullying the other is again total bollocks. Both sides will be making demands and compromises to engineer a good deal. 
     

    If we walk away with no deal no one wins. 

    I'm a rational person, and have always wanted to leave without a deal. 

    To talk about the EU getting the best deal and the UK getting the best deal and no one winning, to me, is irrational

    I haven't seen anything from official sources to say suicide rates are up. However you would have thought they would be. I know two marriages that have broken down in the last month that have surprised me, lockdown has certainly put a strain on folk.

    As someone who has suffered myself, I can only thank luck that (fingers crossed) I haven't been too bad, even with the shit weather and dark nights now. I think the kids have helped; we play darts, mobile games, wii, board games etc. Now they are older we enjoy watching the telly together too, Celebrity for example or Gogglebox with the eldest. Simple things.

    i don't get this. What were these marriages based on, if staying at home with family is straining..?

    If you're in a good relationship, spending more time with loved ones should be beneficial
