3 settlements now proposed in Gaza. No surprise. https://aje.news/rlfmko?update=4823185

I've read mixed reports on the ruling. On one hand I've read that only people intercepted at sea have amnesty. If that's right, anyone hitting dry land could be turned back. That was my initial understanding. I've also read that only people who'd scaled or penetrated a border fence or similar could be turned back. I've not delved to clarify but the former seems more likely, and that any confusion has come from the media spinning an agenda.

There's something in that, although there's a school of thought that wider geo politics were at play due to US and Israeli beef with Spain re lack of support over Iran and recognising a Palestinian state. It goes something like disaffected youth all but encouraged to cross the border, blind eyes turned on Moroccan side, uproar and unrest leading to Spain feeling heat, a decison to switch US bases from Spain to Morocco, US troops having a presence/control along the straight of Gibraltar, and Moroccan troops possibly peacekeeping in Gaza. Not sure what to make of it, but the US pulling out of Spain and setting up base in Morocco seems plausible, wheras 60k young lads thinking they'd have a day out then be picked up and welcomed in Madrid with a Cruzcampo never felt likely.

Agreed. Archer is a confidence player. Downs and BBD just aren't players.

Yep. We don't need any more distractions. If the penalty is draconian, appeal, if not accept it, draw a line, and build.

Are you ITK about people who are ITK about ITKers?

It's interesting to note that those previously supportive of Israel on here have gone quiet. I hope that means that they now acknowledge that the behaviour of the IDF (in Gaza, West Bank, and Lebanon) is and has been an utter disgrace.

All football activities is exactly that. If you're right and there'd be a technical bypass, I think Saints would be wise not to look for one - we just need to play with a straight bat.

A ban from all football activities would catch the friendlies.

Or time period ban. It's the first of the month so perhaps banned from all football from today until X date. Not ideal.

Yep. Years back I got regular info, as I know tyou did. Posting the occasional bits up got shitty responses so I stopped bothering. I love a good bit of itk stuff, but we all know that things change, that the source has misunderstood, etc, but it's a sad state of affairs when people rip into others for passing on what they've heard.

That was ridiculous. Trumps mate got the $2m contract (painting a pool) for a mere $12m, chosen of course by Trump. Nothing fishy there. Did a crap job, so some poor fella got the blame and hit with litigation. Crazy, and very sad, times.

I think you need to lighten up tmate. Not all whispers come through, and I suspect many people prefer posters who offer up what they hear rather than posters who come down on those that do.

The tribunal hearing was not fixed at 12 hours notice. The appeal was quick, if that's what you mean. In law, urgent appeals, sometimes same day, are common. You shouldn't need time to prepare for them. Appeals are based on the court/tribunal getting it wrong, and the legal team will have known how they say the decision was wrong. The difficulty we had is we got it wrong. We acknowledged that by sacking counsel and bringing someone else. He wasn't on the hearing, won't have known every detail, and was playing catch up. It was a disaster from the club from the off. That's undeniable.

Good point! Spanish Omelette surely.
