Lovely post. Thanks for sharing it.

Positive discrimination is just as bad as negative discrimination. Give jobs on merit, refuse on lack of merit.

Unless I'm mistaken, "coloured" remains an ethnic group in South Africa to describe coloured people / people of colour. OK over there racist over here. Ridiculous.

The reaction to this is worse than what he said. I have a black friend who describes black people as "coloured". I'll message him in a bit to let him know he's racist.

Great player but he's made of glass. No point in having a player who isn't going to stay fit enough to play more regularly. Hopefully he can sort these issues out, but if he hasn't done so by now you've got to wander if he ever will.

What figures are being misread? What's the correct figures? Back to the original point though, I'm surprised that you don't agree that we all have a responsibility to reduce transmission, thus reduce strain on the NHS. That sort of attitude has helped cause this mess. I'm not sure why say ask if I believe what the government says, but are you disputing that cases are increasing and that hospital admissions are increasing? If you are disputing it, do you have any evidence or are you doing a Trump?

Nonsense. It's the job of all of us to act responsibly, and in doing so reduce the strain on the NHS. The only reason we're in this "lockdown" is become there are too many dinlo's who refuse to obey simple instruction and guidance, thus a sledgehammer has been used to crack a nut.

Do you think that the strain on the health service will reduce or increase if we can all mingle and do as we please? Straightforward answer please.

Keep it at 3. Neither Klopp nor Pep used the 3 x subs which makes a mockery of their call for 5. They also have good squads. Neco Williams or Milner could have played RB ahead of TAA. Klopp could have rested one of his usual front 3 and played Jota, but instead he played all 4 of them. Managers need to manage their resources better.

Del, picking up on the comment on the other thread. The point for me is that we're £120m more expensive than Derby. We're established. Spending the extra £120m on Derby may not get anything near as good as we are now. Personally I doubt £120m will get anything near what we have. I'd spend the extra on us if I had, unless I wanted a project to play with. On that last point, Derby have huge appeal. Good stadium, fanbase, and the ability to grow it. We're limited by geography. New fans can be drawn in from the east midlands and south yorkshire. Youngsters from Nottingham wanting something better than forest and county can offer may be converted. It'd be a great project with more potential, fan wise, than we can offer.

Yep, repetitive. Both loons. Both democratically elected. Otherwise completely different. I'm not sure what there is to discuss.

How the hell did that quote pop up on this thread?! I get that, but I'll pop it on the correct thread.

But to make a sensible comparison, there has to be broadly comparable and/or relevant context, otherwise its pointless. The only Trump / Hitler is that they were voted in. Beyond that there's as much relevance in comparing Trump to Hitler as there is comparing either to Dangermouse.

No idea what happened there!

So Trump’s fathers beliefs justify a Trump/Hitler comparison. I’m no Trump fan, but that’s a stretch.

I disagree that there is any point in mentioning in the same breath as Hitler. Completely different animals, and I'm not sure what you're trying to achieve by highlighting that they were both voted in. Nobody doubts that.

I know the history. Completely different times. Completely different countries. Completely different ethnic mixes. Completely different democratic systems. Completely different behaviour when in power. Otherwise, exactly the same.

Misspelt

I appreciate the new rule. I doubt any footballer, coach, or sensible fan would agree with it though. Do you think that the Haller decision was correct?

You're off on this. DT was elected democratically, nothing to discuss. Hitler comparison is daft.
