Why is watching England play so fucking boring?

I guess we will find out this year how easy it is to bounce straight back up.

This. He was a spectacular failure last season but he did get us promoted at the first attempt and the day out at Wembley is up there amongst my favourites as a Saints fan, I wish him well.

I don’t, I said IF he was tailgating, as reported at the time. Best wait til the trial, it is a weird one that’s for sure.

I said IF it was true that he was tailgating it would suggest he was in a hurry. I was just going by was reported at the time. Best wait til the trial. From what I saw from the videos it looks to me like a case of road rage spiralling out of control, the video that supposedly showed the start of it it appears to me that the crowd only got violent AFTER be started driving aggressively (reversing back and forward quickly). Obviously something may have happened before that and we will never get the full picture until the trial so it is all just speculation at the moment.

How do you know he didn’t know which way he was going?

I thought it was reported that he tail-gated an ambulance, it should become clear in the trial what happened but if true it would suggest he was in a hurry or frustrated. From what I saw of the first incident it looked as if the crowd only became violent when he started reversing and driving in a dangerous manner. Obviously something may have happened prior to the first video though so who knows.

Whatever crimes he is found guilty of, he tail-gated an ambulance through a police cordon now 79 people are injured so I’m happy to file him in the cunt category for now.

He needs locking up for his own safety even if he didn’t do it on purpose.

Might be the case, unless he has mental issues (maybe ptsd I guess) it is hard to see a scenario where mowing down people like he did makes any sense even if scared, he ran over kids ffs. Would an ex soldier really be that scared, there were police everywhere.

I would wait til the trial before making any assumptions, plenty of ‘nice family men’ have murdered people before. From what I saw it looked like he was deliberately mowing people down.

Was that before he tried to kill people though? I guess it will all come out in the trial. The cunt needs locking up that is for sure.

Are they not both illegal occupations under international law?

Just like Russia believes it owns Ukraine you mean?

Given the green light by the US to kill with impunity, might as well steal some more land: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1j5954edlno If someone steals your land are you allowed fight back, or does that make you a terrorist?

You are forgetting that we are in the Championship, players can be utter gash in the Prem and still do a good job in this league, Russel Martin got promoted with mostly the same players. The squad definitely needs freshening up but I think there is plenty for Still to work with.

True. Unfortunately some people have other agendas.

It makes no difference to me what the race or religion of the nutcase was, unfortunately for some people it does.

We all know that if the driver had different skin pigmentation this thread would be an extra couple of pages by now.

It is a gamble but I guess with Still there is at least a chance we have got someone with potential to be really great. He seems the sort character we need and certainly talks a good game. I like his ideas about a high energy game so it will be interesting to see who he brings in and gets rid of in the summer.

A bit of a gamble but I guess he who dares wins! Glad to see us getting him in quickly unlike last time, good to have the whole summer to prepare. With the right backing there is no reason why we can’t bounce straight back.

Well our scouts obviously thought he looked good.

True but it’s still a different league. I think the situation we are in would best suit someone who knows the league and knows how to get out of it. It’s going to be a tough job with a lot of players in and out, I’m just not sure it is the best job for a young inexperienced guy.

A League where Sékou Mara looked good.

He is young, inexperienced and never played or managed in the Championship. He may turn out to be brilliant but it is a gamble.
