Yep. This thread is a classic case of a few posters believing the information that they want to believe, and refusing to accept stuff that they don't.

Ha!! approx 100 / 1000 in one incursion. I'm sure that even you acknowledge that Ukraine will have lost men and equipment.

Sure did catch them off guard - was completely left field. I've seen a few reports, you'll find them. 10% of men lost, and shed loads of tanks and other vehicles. Regardless, surely they'll be sitting ducks? Re Badger's point. That small Russian convoy was battered, but there's also reports of a Ukrainian group being destroyed, and that's what I was referring to.

I think they were caught on the hop and I'm not sure anyone seriously expected a Ukrainian incursion. Piecing together various bits out there, it seems that Ukraine are holding limited areas but have suffered big losses of men and equipment. That said, it gives Russia something to think about and you'd imagine that they're going to have to redeploy troops and equipment to deal with this, leaving themselves thinner elsewhere. Interesting development for sure.

And some in the states think we're under Islamist rule. I know we're in a bit of a mess, but I hadn't realised it was a Islamist/Stalinist spitroast.

Yep. At the end of the day, it's him or Mara and this lad at least applies himself 100% and does know how to score. Big lanky strikers can do ok in footballing teams (Crouch wasn't bad) if used correctly. If we get an upgrade that RM prefers, then move him on. Until then, use him.

We'll be scratching around in the food banks if we can't get some players sold for hard cash.

It is, and a starting eleven from it would probably be mid table in the championship: Lumley Bree Edwards Wood Taylor Manning Alcaraz Dibling Amo-A Mara/Onuachu Edozie

That's ridiculously fast. I used to finish treadmill runs at 20kph for a reasonable distance and always felt I was gonna fly off the back. Sustaining that over 10k is insane. The levels of these athletes is amazing.

I don't like the term false equivalence, but that is. What do you suggest we do we with the people trying to stir up riots a bad racial hatred? A conditional discharge and a bag of sweets? It's obvious that harsh sentences are needed as a deterrent, and unless you don't want people being deterred for whatever reason, i'd imagine you'd be happy to see the idiot's quelled. What's your issue with a deterrent being sent to these fools? That you're happy to see them carry on, or something else?

Exactly Whelk. These dinlo's need to see what happens to other dinlo's in the hope that it puts them off continuing to be do the nonsense that they're doing or thinking of doing. Regardless, I'm not sure why people are upset that those people are out of circulation for a while, bizarre.

Daft post Weston. There's a world of difference between inciting mass violence against people and having a view on law and order.

Nope. Bang more of them up if the promote hate and violence. Frankly, I'm staggered that anyone is against people like that being dealt with. People ruin lives from behind a keyboard and it needs firm action.

Calling for an attack on refugees and asylum seekers is not posting thoughts. It's plainly wrong on any level, and the intention was clear. Plenty of daft idiots will be stirred up by nonsense like that. It being posted in a closed group doesn't help him. He still put it out there. I want to know if the dinlo from Sunderland who got a brick to the head, chest and balls got any more punishment.

Pipe

The idiot got what he deserved. Too many keyboard warriors post dangerous shite thinking it doesn't matter. They need to realise that it does.

Yep, Blackmore's comments were daft and did us no favours. He showed that we were desperate to sell players, and reduces ABK's appeal, and probably his price, by basically saying that the club think he's a bit of a dick and don't want him.

Apart from the language part, I'm not sure why people are confused by your post. I'd add his hot headedness. He was an idiot in the week, and we can't have players putting us under pressure when on an unnecessary yellow or off the pitch. RM made it clear that we need to sell to buy. Whether that's because we're skint and/or we don't have the financial fair play bandwidth I don't know, but if RM doesn't fancy Alcaraz (I could understand why he wouldn't) it makes to move him on and free up cash for someone he wants.

Job

They've pleaded guilty. Some of those have been sentenced in the mags court and some sent to crown for sentence.

I've tried to take a neutral path but he doesn't help himself one bit. That said, the reactions to his posts are excessive and no side let it go and it's monotonous and does the forum no favours at all. Tuesday is a good point. There was a bit of argy bargy in there but a lid was kept on it and the protagonists kissed and made up the next day. That's how it should be.

I always thought tdmicky was MLG, but then I thought Turkish was Farmersaint so wtf do I know!

Absolutely. 💯

Agree re the bold bits. I've got no idea if anyone has posted about the actual issues, it's all SoG fecking SoG. Every single thread seems to get derailed.
