Weston Super Saint

Aintclever gives a shit. He's been all over this one, surely you can't have missed it? You know, what with his self proclaimed war against all innocent people being killed.

WTF are you talking about? No Fatwa extends to Jews. Different religions.

Yeah. There aren't any.

In goal?

I guess if our outfield coaches don't coach players to tackle and close down, the goalkeeping ones don't bother with catching crosses or positioning to make saves.

That hasn't repeated the question. This time you've dropped the word 'innocent'.

I agree. As a normal, regular interpretation of a Fatwa it would be incorrect. We aren't talking about 'normal' Muslim interpretations when it comes to Hamas though. We're talking about extreme interpretations from a terrorist organisation.

I'm not sure you're keeping up. I'll explain. Hamas have issued a Fatwa - against Israel. According to Shari'a law, once a Fatwa is declared ALL Muslims (that includes women, men and children) have a part to play in defeating the 'enemy'. I've put many links in this thread where this is explained in Hamas's text. This means, technically, under the law practised by the controlling party of Hamas, there are no 'innocent' people in Palestine, given that they all HAVE to participate in the war. For the avoidance of doubt (I know the 6th form debating team can sometimes be easily confused), I am not condoning this, I don't agree with Shari'a Law, I'm merely pointing out what the religion requires.

And yet, it's what the commentators during the match said. I assume they heard it somewhere...

Because.... According to Shari'a law, there are no "innocent" people once a fatwah has been declared.

They were recruited by our recruitment team....

Tasted like shit. Can't even get that right. FFS.

The "analyst" job at Saints must be a piece of piss these days! Sign up any old keeper, fuck analysing the opposition - alright maybe see what they do for corners and the odd free kick - fuck off to the pub at lunch time and don't come back.

But just ping me the lottery numbers for tonight first

Some of the first posts on this thread turned out to be insightful.... Has Wilcox now set a new record (another Saintsy record) for spending more time 'working his notice' than actually 'doing his fucking job' in the last year?

I heard a quote from the commentators for the Ipswich game that we don't bother to analyse our opponents. Basically, we are too arrogant (or lazy) to let that bother us. Apparently we'll look at a few of their set pieces and then practice passing in triangles. You can bet your last 50p that our opposition are analysing the fucking great big gaps we leave down the left hand side and how they can shoot at our goalkeeper for a nailed on goal, especially to his left. If we're going to ignore the opposition, the very least we can do is get our coaches to coach the players to be more assertive, close down the opposition and just generally be the "brave" bollocks we hear so much about.

You can't fault his consistency though.

Luckily, the sixth form debating team have all the solutions sewn up.

My reply quoted your post - which was discussing recent times (pre 07/10), which I presumed included history dating back to the 70's, not just August 2023. I assumed my point would have been clear to all on the sixth form debating team! I've stated many times before that both sides treat each other with disdain and loathing - sadly that is the consequence of religious hatred and intolerance.

In my 'simplistic sixth form view', the discussion was about Palestinians, Hamas and Israel living peacefully side by side over recent times - hence my pointing out that one is a terrorist organisation and the other isn't. I even included the word 'yet' for Israel in a nod to what is happening now. The letter you posted is from October 2023, so whilst it is relevant for what is happening now, it is completely irrelevant for the previous discussion about how peaceful the living arrangements were in recent times. All in my simplistic sixth form view, obvs.

Jesus wept. Might as well sack the coaching team and save a few quid then, apparently there is no point having them.

Then there's a third view. One is a declared terrorist organisation, the other one isn't (yet).

And you don't think the "coaching" staff have any possible way of influencing this?

RM was very confident Baz would be in the team of the year. I'm sure he's still on target....
