No improvement sadly. She's having blood and bone marrow tests. I hadn't appreciated the no alcohol advice, and she definitely hasn't been abstaining. Interestingly, a GP I know has refused the AZ vax and insisted on Pfizer, I know another health professional who's done the same. I'll take the AZ one if its the one offered, but if I can get the Pfizer I will.

That's a theory I've heard from medics. My daughter who's having ongoing side effects would probably really struggle with Covid.

Assists by Stephens with storming runs and a killer ball from his midfield role.

Any idea which one? Seems to be the Oxford vaccine causing issues amongst people I know.

Drum

Me eldest daughter had the Oxford 2 weeks ago. Been ill since. Tired, lethargy, and head to toe with a rash that won't go. Steroids, creams, now having blood and other tests to see what's going on. Youngest had the Pfizer and no issues at all.

You're doing a Pontins and lumping a group of people in the same box. At one end of the scale there's the actual travelling travellers who can leave a mess behind. Understandably people don't like the invasion and mess, but victimisation and name calling isn't necessary. At the other end of the scale there are settled travellers who work and contribute, but face the same victimisation and name calling. Its no better than assuming that all black people from a particular community are violent or drug dealers because some black people from that community are violent or drug dealers. Is referring to travelling showmen as a "bearded lady" any different or better than referring to a black person as a "golliwog"? However you cut, there is prejudice against travelling communities and sadly it's present on this thread.

Black people / Asian people / showmen / other travellers. All ethnic groups. Showmen is what showmen are, and what they're known as - not lion tamer or bearded woman or whatever racist term you choose to use.

To be honest, I think Ralph is trying to protect the kids from the firing line. Confidence is shot and playing kids in a losing team does them no good. We'll agree to differ on Ramsay. I think he's got a chance. He's no TAA, but I think he's got a chance.

Yep, you singled them out in a negative way. If the story was about black people being discriminated against by Pontins, and the ruck in your boozer was started by a group of black people, would have posted about it? The fact that you refer to travelling showmen as a "Bearded lady", "lion tamer" says it all pal.

Ralph did trust Jankewitz to do a better job than Armstrong against Man Utd. Armstrong played as a 10. Sure, it went tits up, but he preferred him. Ramsay wasn't poor in that game. The poor lad had Djenepo in front of him with Shaw, Rashford and sometimes Fred and even Maguire all coming down that side. He did OK. I love that you conclude that Ramsay has been given an extension to protect an asset. You have no idea what the reality is - he's not a 17 year old being given 12 months. He's 20 years old and 2 years shows faith in him, as do the words of Matt Hale "We have great confidence he will continue to grow and be a part of the club's future." You don't rate him, but the club do.

Mounting

Good post. Can't disagree with any of that. I like Ralph, a lot, but he's like a punch drunk boxer at the moment. If we don't beat Sheffield United, we can't avoid change imo.

To be fair to Weston, he made a good point. Travellers and Black people are both ethnic groups. You've singled one group out for attention.

The club just gave him a new 2 year contract. They obviously rate him.

It goes on every where. I know a travelling showman family booked for a huge gathering at a large local hotel a few years ago. When it was understood that they were showman, the event was pulled. Pure racism.

Yep, I didn't think he would be any good in there, but he was very good. The problem is that we're terrible in the final 3rd without him. Hopefully Diallo can come back in, Armstrong can go back to being a 10 in place of Redmond who was shocking tonight.

Bands

Jeez. This ain't a great plan B.

Richarlison likes to add a bit of vat to every tackle he takes.

Absolutely. Very amateur and easy to play against.

Yep. Armstrong has been decent, but it's breaking down further forward and we need him there.

Yep, Jankewitz in the middle for me, Armstrong out wide in place of Redmond. I'd bring Tella on up top early second half for Adams, although Ings also deserves be hooked after that half.

Shite. Utter.

Off all day long
