Seems to be a lot of questions on immgration coming in that are being knocked out the park here. Let's talk about that racist fuckwit Tommy Robinson. Found it very funny when he complained about the Daily Mail giving his hotel out.

I would pay much attention because they're predictions from ex-footballers and have no bearing on our season whatsoever.

I can't make it due to being abroad on transfer business - @TurkishI know you were meant to be on the panel as representative of the CoT - I'm assuming the leads you had have come in so you had to turn down the invitation and concentrate on that?

We will drop hints if something is in the works - that's the agreement we have with our sources. At the moment there is nothing concrete, but the transfer window has not closed yet and we very rarely get all business doe in time for the start of the season (and what is essentially a dead rubber away at the Toon).

I'll remind him. I want my apology.

Not sure where I insulted you?

Bump - not seen @sadoldgit on here since I asked him to post where I said this - just making sure he's had a look as I'd hate for him to be wrong. Edit: I may well have said this I just can't remember, but it sounds like something I'd call him.

Unless we have someone really creative between the two wide forwards, or a proper number 9 it won't work. However I would love to see us implement a 5-2-3 that becomes a 3-4-3 when in possession. Could really work if we have two bombing fullbacks.

https://migrationobservatory.ox.ac.uk/resources/briefings/people-crossing-the-english-channel-in-small-boats/ Since 2018, the nationals of five countries – Iran, Albania, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Syria – have made up two-thirds of those crossing in small boats A small number of nationalities make up a large share of people crossing the Channel in small boats (Figure 5). From 2018 to 31 March 2024, two-thirds of total arrivals (79,149) had one of five nationalities: Iranian (18%), Afghan (15%), Iraqi (13%), Albanian (12%), Afghan (13%), or Syrian (8%).

That's not what happened with me in 2014, so there we go. Perhaps it is a Brexit benefit after all.

They wouldn't be applying for work visa's, they'd be applying for Asylum visa's and that's why you have to do it alongside having a strict and quick process to remove them. I did mention it in that post - I see you decided not to quote that part of it. Some additional info as to why they tend to be young males: The majority of those arriving in small boats are men. In the year to 31 March 2024, 75% (22,357) were male and aged 18 or over (excluding those of unknown age or sex). Another 16% (4,630) of arrivals in the same period were children (under 18). These proportions have been stable over time, and similar to those observed in asylum applicants more broadly (72% and 19%, respectively, in the year to March 2024). One reason for the higher share of men among asylum seekers, in general, is the danger associated with irregular migration journeys. In many cases, female and minor family members join later through family reunification routes.

OMG it's not SR FFS, it's PSR. Jesus H Christ.

No, you've come on here to debate a point when you don't understand how immigration to the UK and other first world countries seems to work. Out of the back of that I have answered every question posed - if you can't be bothered to read my posts then don't debate with me, but don't be so disingenuous to suggest it's my fault you have missed it - it's not beyond the witt of man to understand you should probably read back through the thread. All the information you need is there. Unfortunately it seems you have lost the debate and as such are now hitting out, like a child. Essentially yes, everyone has access to the internet and phones cos they're not as poor as you think they are. Homeless, maybe, persecuted, maybe, but destitute? No.

Not from what I'd heard.

Yes it is enforceable within the EU - as soon as you next step foot in Italy you'll be taken to a police station and made to pay, and rental companies in the rest of the EU will have that info. Reciprocal laws and all that jazz - another Brexit failure (alongside fucking bottle caps). Your insurance in the UK will also be invalid until you accept it and report the points to your insurance company. Just pay the money and take the points, and stop committing crimes and think you can get away with it.

Yup - not sure the club can control other clubs intentions and transfers though. It's the normal gamesmanship of nearly all transfers nowadays.

We weren't interested, ploy to make Celtic drop demands for O'Riley...

Well that was shit, thank God I don't put any stock in friendlies. Sugawara looks bloody great though and tall Paul may be able to play in a front three...

Exactly, Raya, Henry, Janssen, Goode, Norgaard, Jensen, Toney as a spine to invest on top on would be great.

Lock up racists and thugs? Not sure that makes you right, just makes you not a twat.

I didn't realise that was the game, but ok - Villa 2019, Leeds 2020, Brentford 2021, Fulham 2022, possibly Bournemouth 2022. All had good spines they could build around.

I'm not, I'm using them as an example that had the opportunity to spend.

No, but he is the last player this happened with, and he left on a free.

😂😂😂

Like with Che?
