You're comparing an apple with a chicken there mate. Police brutality, and poor judgement by a copper, aren't remotely comparable. This situation isn't helped by people making ridiculous comparisons like that.

I think he knew that. He referenced several generations of European leaders allowing immigration. What makes it especially pathetic is that his wife is the child of an Indian immigrant, so the same as Digwa.

Yeah, that's exactly the same as calling for "rage".

I didn't claim it was an intellectual measure, but it's undoubtedly an intellectual notch or ten above the idiots who think problems are solved by rioting, and convince themselves that Nige is the saviour of the working man.

Yep, agreed. He's a bloke who doesn't do failure and is giving this the full beans. I approve.

Those were my initial thoughts, but I also wonder if there's now a "fuck it" mindset where we're gonna go all Liebherr in league 1 and sign who we need and get rid of overhang when and if. I'm probably way off, but this is a proper statement if intent which suggests to me that we're going to give promotion a proper go.

We may struggle to shift Baz and Ramsdale, so could see one of them around the first team squad. Hopefully we'll shift both though, and bring in a decent number 2.

That's a cracking bit of business. He's a PL level keeper, and signing on a perm is real a vote of his confidence in us. Nice.

The Reform candidate for Makerfield was on QT last night. I've never seen such an embarrassing performance on the programme. Sadly, many of the people who will vote for him would never watch QT.

I'm not sure where to start with this. We know what was concluded, and that's that Tonda sent people against their wishes to do something wrong. His behaviour was said to be "deplorable". We know that was in a work setting, with an intern, and where there was a significant power imbalance. It's easy to understand why the word bullying could be attached to what happened, but whether that's too strong a word doesn't matter, the facts are clear as day. What takes place in other work places is completely irrelevant.

Put yourself in his shoes. You're a kid, wanting a career, wanting to impress, and hopefully get a job or at least a cracking reference. You know it ain't right, but what do you do? In his shoes, many people would have done what he did - saying you wouldn't is easy to say from behind a keyboard, but that kid was there in reality. Any reasonable tribunal was right to conclude that Tonda's behaviour was deplorable.

There's no "faux outrage" or "virtue signalling" on here. Some people are acknowledging what's happened, and aren't willing to join the cool kids trying to dismiss what's happened, nothing more.

There's no pearl clutching, rather some posters who aren't seeking to push back against conclusions and what's happened. I think he's a lucky lad to still be here.

Nobody would be saying a word about Ballard if we'd got promoted. He was completely unproven in men's football and looked like a league 1 player. We needed proven and were looking at a return to the PL. He was literally leagues away from what we were looking for this season. Now that we're still in the championship, and he did well at Orient, the people with 20/20 hindsight are telling us we should have kept him on the books. The club, however, wanted better (sure, Downs was/is monumentally shit), and were looking at the PL. Moving him in was the correct decision at the time imo.
