  1. It's a very interesting, well researched thread, but it still falls short of providing any actual evidence. The closest it gets is providing a link to an article on an independent website that makes an unverified claim as to what the lab reports for Khelif and Lin said: "abnormal". In another article, the author claims to have seen the lab results, but we only have his word for that, and if he has then it means someone has leaked them because I very much doubt the boxers themselves gave their permission for that information to be shared with the press. And if they have been leaked, then I have no doubt they would have been shared elsewhere by now. The letter from the IBA to the IOC is interesting. But, again, the really important bit is, understandably, redacted to protect the confidentiality of the athletes. On the face of it, they seem to present a compelling case, but then they went and shot themselves in the foot with that farcical press conference last week, which further eroded their credibility. Let's also remember that an IBA spokesperson was quoted as saying that there were still some irregularities with Khelif's chromosome test that prevented them from being able to commit to the assertion that she is in fact genetically male. Ultimately Hypo, you might turn out to be right after all. But it's the way you have so stubbornly and arrogantly insisted you are right over the course of this thread, without any actual concrete evidence to back up your claims, that rubs people up the wrong way. That and the very obtuse way you deliberately keep referring to Khelif as 'they/them'. She has always believed herself to be a woman, was raised as a woman and continues to identify as a woman. so until such time as it is medically proven otherwise, it is very disrespectful to dismiss that and choose to gender her however you wish, based on some unconfirmed stuff you read online. Anyway, in an interesting development, Khelif has now launched a lawsuit against, among others, Elon Musk and JK Rowling for online harassment, following their Twitter comments about her sex and eligibility. This is an interesting move, because these are two very rich people who can no doubt afford the world's best legal counsel, who will no doubt demand Khelif's legal team provide evidence to prove their clients' claims were false. It will be fascinating to see how this plays out.
  2. Well if we do sign him, he had better be decent. If he turns out to be shit then I might have to change my username.
  3. Indeed. There is obviously a very important discussion to be had about the impacts of historical immigration on the UK and how to address that in future. I don't think anybody disputes that, regardless of their political persuasion. However... Under no circumstances whatsoever should we allow a knuckle-dragging, race-baiting, convicted violent criminal like Robinson to shape that discourse. Whatever good points he might have to make are not exactly original or groundbreaking, and simply an afterthought for him, used as an excuse for his thuggish behaviour. He's a hypocritical, self-aggrandising shit-stirrer, whose actions hinder rather than help the cause. Fuck him. He's irrelevant.
  4. Are you suggesting that we should refuse to accept any refugees at all and just let everyone else deal with them instead?
  5. We can only loan 2 from the PL. We can get more from abroad.
  6. The perfect combination of hypocrisy and cognitive dissonance.
  7. I can't seem to find the old yellow one that @trousers used to post regularly, but this still sums up the pointlessness of this constant bickering.
  8. Doesn't this sum up about 99% of football manager interviews?
  9. THAT INCLUDES YOU FFS! Seriously SOG - how can you possibly be so fucking oblivious to the fact that you are just as guilty as those who oppose you?
  10. Mods - any chance you can create a private thread to move all these SOG / anti-SOG posts to when they all start going at each other? Or, failing that, can't you just issue short bans as soon as they kick off to stop them derailing yet another thread? Honestly, it's getting so fucking tedious now.
  11. This bit is encouraging. Plenty of fans on here seem convinced he is happy that our current first team will be good enough to compete, but this snippet of his interview seems to confirm that he knows we need to improve on it and is confident we will do once a few outgoing deals have been wrapped up. We need to get a wiggle on with that though. Time is ticking away.
  12. I don't think I woukd risk putting any of our first teamers out into this cauldron tonight.
  13. I don't see any 'leaders' out there in pink tonight who could have calmed things down and defused that situation. Charlie was a red card waiting to happen after a couple of skirmishes in the first half.
  14. Off the bar again. Should have scored.
  15. It's only just occurred to me that he was actually playing* in the first half as well. * this word is doing some heavy lifting here, admittedly.
  16. Oh Macca. We're in for a rough ride if he's gonna be our no. 1 this season.
  17. Right bunch of dirty bastards, Lazio.
  18. That was a horrible challenge on Edwards. Anyone worked out what formation we're playing? Is Manning playing LCB in a back 3?
  19. And there's still a number of posters who think we have someone called Alvarez playing for us.
  20. They are as much about preventing ram raids on shops and banks as they are about preventing terrorism. And using vehicles as weapons of terror is not exclusive to Islamists either. The post you shared was bemoaning the rising immigration since 2008 and cited the installation of anti ram barriers as one of the negative side effects of that, but it's a complete non-sequitur, because they would still exist even if immigration had stopped in 2008. Therefore, it's irrational bullshit. The kind of drivel that is only spouted by idiots who want to believe it's true because it fits with their existing prejudices.
  21. I agree they are an eyesore, but this aspect just reinforces my point about irrational bullshit. Seriously, blaming immigrants for them is just desperate. Does anyone honestly think they wouldn't exist if we had closed our borders in 2008? Come on. There's some true colours being shown on this thread.
  22. Out of interest, which bits do you agree with? Cos from what I can see, this entire post is nothing but a load of irrational, disjointed bullshit that tries and fails miserably to disguise some blatant racism. So what about it resonates with you?
