Ringo does a great show that’ll take you back. He has had some fantastic musicians that all do a turn. When I went he had Edgar Winter, Rick Derringer and the mush from Mr Mister, but he’s had some real great talent over the years including Joe Walsh (whose his brother in law), levon Helm, Dr John, Billy Preston, Peter Frampton, Jack Bruce, and Rick Danko. His present line up includes Hamish Stuart who played with McCartney after he disbanded Wings. Unfortunately, he tends to only tour the States nowadays and he’s even older than McCartney so I doubt I’ll get the chance again, but it’s a real top show.

That sounds a bit racist to me. “Although” is implying people with darkish skin aren’t quite as English.

I’ve seen him a couple of times (and Ringo who does a great show with a great band as well). I was lucky enough to see him in 79 at The Gaumont. Absolutely fantastic, performance wise the 70’s were his peak, he’d abandoned the silly little Hofner for a Rickenbacker and it was an extraordinary performance. Still in his 30’s and only 9 years after the Beatles split, it remains my greatest musical memory. The bloke is a fucking genius. The volume of great songs he’s written is unbelievable, but he’s seriously underrated as a musician. Watch McCartney 321 on Disney, where Rick Rubin takes him through various songs and isolates bass tracks etc. if he’d never written a song he’d still be one of our greatest ever musicians. One story from Geoff Emericks book sums it up. George is trying to get the solo on Taxman and can’t get it right. George Martin suggests Paul gives it a go, and he nails it in one take. Having already produced the memorable bass line on that song, he tops it off with a quite superb lead solo. Rubin goes through bass line on Something, day in the life and other songs he didn’t write, but his musically performance adds so much to those songs. Musically he was head and shoulders above the other 3. To me he’s the greatest living Englishman.

“Farage single handedly invented the idea of leaving the EU”. 😂 Said absolutely nobody. Got us a referendum, absolutely. Nobody else could have done that, only bitter Remainers could deny it . If he died that day (classy post Old Nick BTW) we’d still be in the EU now.

You’ve got to have a referendum to win it. Without a shadow of doubt there’s one person that got us that vote. Sir Nigel Farage. To get that in the face of a Europhile commons, Lords & civil service is quite remarkable for someone outside of The UK Parliament. Without him the Tory leavers would still be arguing over subsection B section 111 of the XYZ treaty. Of course he had help from the woeful, arrogant fuckwitted remain campaign and the fact that most elected politicians don’t understand the ordinary Joes they represent. But Nige is Mr Brexit, absolutely no doubt about it, and if the remain camp can find someone half as effective, you may get another bite at the cherry. I doubt you will though. Instead of throwing insults at leavers, remain voters should direct their anger at remainers in politics who don’t seem to have the gumption or the ability to mobilise and put the graft in. You need a nige

Fuck me, the media fawn all over him already. He doesn’t need to play for Liverpool first that to happen.

You can campaign all you like, but I doubt you’ll find anyone with the nous, charisma or political genius of Nigel. In terms of percentages, he turned around a lot worse situation than you lot find yourselves in. Here’s a tip, he didn’t do it by insulting the voters, or making out he had superior intelligence and that people who voted remain were thick, or selfish. . He did it through his arguments and damn hard work. Losers don’t have to accept the status quo, they’re perfectly entitled to keep campaigning. What they do have to accept is that the people who voted the other way, did so with as much information, as much intelligence and as much compassion for their neighbours as they did. They also need to understand that they weren’t in touch with the country as a whole, and their opinion was in the minority. In that respect you lot haven’t accepted the result yet.
-
It means, losers have to accept the fact they lost and understand why they lost. Get off your smug remainer arses and get a Nigel. Its a bit tougher than tweeting or whinging in the media, which is why a rejoin campaign won’t ever get off the ground. Insulting voters doesn’t seem to be a particularly good way off winning them round, but it’s far easier to do than accept the real reason.

I don’t ignore the thread, I read it regularly. I find it funny. There used to be weirdos on my side of the debate. People who blamed everything on the EU, it’s good to know there’s also weirdos on the other side, who blame everything on Brexit. I don’t meet many bitter, arrogant people in real life, so reading the thread gives me an insight into their world. Keep on posting.

There’s no debate, there was, but now this thread has just become an echo chamber for boring remoaners.

Fitter maybe, I’m not convinced we’ll be getting anyone better.

Sexist bigot. Its “people” with a 76mm ding dong. People’s self esteem. -
That should have happened when Ched Evans was stitched up.

That’s a bit harsh on Stan, he wouldn’t have set up like we did at Anfield.

The first time we played Arsenal at the new stadium I was refused entry with a legitimate ticket, so it can happen. A combination of being with my 12 year old, being able to speak the same language and showing them an email confirming payment & my saints account on my phone meant I got in ok. I imagine it would have been a bit tougher trying to reason with riot police in French, when there were thousands pushing, rushing to get in. Add to that the fact that Le Plod probably had preconceived views on English supporters and you’re basically fucked. It can’t be beyond the wit and wisdom of man to have a safe ticketing system and set up rings around the stadium.

It was a different era, we’d had a decade of English “supporters” causing trouble or getting involved and clashing with local muppets. We weren’t solely to blame, but there was always an undercurrent of trouble whenever English blokes travelled In numbers. Personally, I felt that the majority of decent people thought enough is enough and I don’t recall too much anger over the ban. That incident together with Hillsborough, Bradford & Sky , dragged the game into the modern era. Attending football is light years away from where it was back then, for people too young to remember it is pretty hard to describe quite how bad it could be. The gentrification of football has led to a loss of atmosphere, and some right Nod’s attending games, but change needed to happen.
