No more responses to GM wind posts, and GM wind up threads. On ignore and carry on enjoying the forum.

It did me too. There’s over-60s boxing circuits in parts of the country, a colleague is in one. Maybe GM should take his aggression out there?

You’re right, that’s what I will do. Mirrors what society and forums are like now since Brexit and Covid, and not just football. The Devon Next Door app we used to be on my family won’t use now as it’s full of polarised trolling. Sad, as it started off about missing pets, helping families in need and local SMEs and trades offering services like it should be. The one here hasn’t gone that way yet but starting to….

Wouldn’t say I was a Davey fanboy but does partly explain why I vote Lib Dem.

From GM’s perspective it seems. From mine, as never lived in Burseldon, I’m fed up with the constant trolling in the Lounge, playing the poster not the post and given him a bit back. I’m far from the first to mention Burseldon but it shows him for what it is. Plenty get fed up with some of Soggy’s posting but this is miles beyond him, with the exception of the dreadful Edwards post. But it still wasn’t offering other posters out basically. Risible from a grandad. Seems to think he’s ex-657 Crew or something. Just came across as sad and lonely, but why not ask for people’s company in a pleasant way? Probably gets a better response.

You’re pathetic - crying like a baby because I called you out for your behaviour in Lowford and the same temper tantrums there when you couldn’t get your own way. Plenty of other people who wouldn’t want a ‘chat’ with you as well and would switch pubs to avoid you https://www.change.org/p/bursledon-district-community-association-the-residence-of-bursledon-parish-request-that-the-chairman-of-the-bdca-stand-down/c And the auditor found you didn’t need CRB checks in the end either https://register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.uk/en/charity-search?p_p_id=uk_gov_ccew_onereg_charitydetails_web_portlet_CharityDetailsPortlet&p_p_lifecycle=2&p_p_state=maximized&p_p_mode=view&p_p_resource_id=%2Faccounts-resource&p_p_cacheability=cacheLevelPage&_uk_gov_ccew_onereg_charitydetails_web_portlet_CharityDetailsPortlet_objectiveId=A8878101&_uk_gov_ccew_onereg_charitydetails_web_portlet_CharityDetailsPortlet_priv_r_p_mvcRenderCommandName=%2Ffull-print&_uk_gov_ccew_onereg_charitydetails_web_portlet_CharityDetailsPortlet_priv_r_p_organisationNumber=5032178 You’ve started abusive thread after abusive thread 🧵 to wind people on this forum up. Said that anti-Brexit people should be hung up with piano wire (delicious irony with yesterday😄), blamed the Grenfell disaster totally erroneously and in dreadful taste. If I am there in the Cotswolds, you’ll find I’m three decades younger, faster, stronger, fitter. I won’t hear a peep from you. On your pop about Saints, supporter for four decades, first game under Lawrie, STH through 00s, bulk of away games, and still attended from Devon regularly 2010s until about 2017. Takes a bit more planning and dedication to get to games these days regularly than hopping on a bus from Bursledon but then what would you know about being an exile.

Which game did you go to? Never had Tennants Light and probably not had the brand overall since the 90s (shirt sponsor for Rangers IIRC at the time). Better for the waistline by the looks https://untappd.com/b/tennent-s-caledonian-brewery-tennent-s-light/3667240

The manager got the selection and tactics right today. Small detail around protecting the D for their goal but what’s been costly, as it was for Ralph onwards, is the dreadful striker recruitment. With Cornet able to play up front, we didn’t need BBD and Archer, especially when we don’t play the former through the middle. More effective to get a £25-30m striker who has a bit of the power, hold up and composure required.

Hop Shed Redcap today. Lives up to it’s name, very malty nose, burnt toffee and mellow red apples on palate, sweetness but moderate and lingering bitterness on the finish.

Which again comes down to recruitment. Especially strikers - two relegations it will be now caused by that to a large extent.

Corrected for you

That’s on the strikers, so many chances squandered.

Two of them with George Hirst, son of David, ex-Saint. Strong smell of ammonia all of a sudden.

He does look a bit like his son though.

Second half of Leics v Everton delayed due to torrential downpour - that must have been seriously heavy ☔️

SR need a specialist scout in that area.

Well, it is going better than the cricket ODI. I can predict the Harry Brook presser afterwards ‘It’s the way we play’

Yeah, I don’t get the tactic at all. As you say makes no logical sense.

And get the ball there quickly, more often, mix it up more. Ipswich are watching for the predictable triggers at the back for starting the pointless passing triangles and picking it off. They aren’t any better defensively but are more pragmatic and varied in their patterns of play.

Agree. Could do with Lesley on but Lallana having an excellent game and Fernandes having good moments on the occasions we actually move the ball quicker. Does Martin risk us still being ahead at the hour mark when Adam fades? We need to go a bit more direct today, had some joy over the top.

Need to cut out the passing around at the back. Ramsdale is good long kicker, not so good short. Make the best of what you have.

Or lied about it to say he had

That’s a poor miss, if he’s not going to finish well he isn’t offering link up or hold up.

The dilemma is that Adam will last for an hour tops, but has been the most effective CM. Fernandes hasn’t been in the contest much and if we knew we could get longer out of Adam that’s who I’d take off.
