In the same post you originally made the statement, you said you’d treat them like paid employees. Employers decide if employees can have a second job. They work for their constituents, if they don’t like it they can sack them.

It’s not up to you or other people to determine how long an MP needs to spend in Parliament. Or who can represent us. If I stand as a candidate stating I’ll work 3 days as an MP and 2 as a Traffic warden and the good people of Poole return me as their representative, why should you or anyone else decide that the votes somehow invalid. Some of you really struggle with democracy.

What happens if your proposal is granted and a by-election is triggered. If the bloke who failed to reach the required attendance % wins, and then continues to not attend enough, do we have another by-election or does he get a pass?

Isn’t being an MP & Prime Minister two different jobs?

The Irish shouldn’t have a veto on UK policies because of the threat of violence.

Keeper needs to do better.

Why would it bothering me, bother you so much? strange.

Chicken George ripped them apart.

The keeper catches his leg, which causes it to hit his other leg.

I wish Caraghar would shut up with this “Trent” pony, he’s getting right on my tits. He doesn’t call anyone else by their first name.. fucking plank.

I didn’t say we were. Read it again before writing pony.

I imagine they’ve had the nod from someone already.

Shit, you’ve rumbled me. I should have known I couldn’t stay undercover with geniuses like you around.

“We all know”. I’d imagine most posters aren’t as childish as you. Whilst fundamentally disagreeing with me, most won’t think I want us to keep losing.

Isn’t it a bit early for this thread? Maybe see how the next few months pan out.

Pony. I’ve posted praise for the bloke on various threads, particularly the match day ones (when it’s deserved). I can totally understand you not wanting to read my opinions, but try not to make things up when you don’t. it’s getting very tiresome now.

Spot on.

He played Redmond instead of Adams up front in a semi final. That’s not down to lack of resource, that’s down to lack of judgement. I’ve also read that Vesty & Bertrand’s lack of pace was a problem playing Ralph ball, that’s down to him. Insisting on playing a way that doesn’t suit the players available, is a lack of judgement again. There’s plenty of other examples, Stephens in midfield, the after you Claude goalkeeping policy. In some games we were a complete and utter shambles, that’s not resources, that’s not being set up properly and a lack of flexibility. Anyway, let’s hope he has learnt and adapted, because if we believe the cult, and he’s managing exactly the same way as he did last season, it won’t take too many suspensions/injuries before we’re on another horrendous run.

If you think last seasons horrendous results weren’t down to Ralph in any way ,there’s no hope for you. If you think he didn’t make any mistakes, then you’re “pretty dim”. We were a fucking shambles half the time, that’s on the manager, nobody else.

He made many mistakes last season, picked the wrong side too many times, was too inflexible tactically, and was too slow with his substitutions. It looks to me like he’s gone away in the summer and had a look at himself and addressed these failings. If you want to believe he’s managing exactly the same way as he did last season I suggest you get your head up from the latest spreadsheet and pay attention.

I’ve never said he’s a good manager. I don’t think he is particularly, you just made that up. He’s an average manager that has good spells and some damn awful spells. I know you’ve gone weak at the knees over beating Villa, Watford & Leeds but I suggest we see where we finish this season before wetting our pants over him, again.

Spot on. He’s now doing what most of his critics wanted him to do. Bringing more defensive solidity, using his substitutions better and showing a bit of tactical flexibility . It’s disingenuous to not acknowledge that and praise him for it, but it’s also disingenuous to try and make out he couldn’t have done so last season.

Bollocks.

Perhaps the manager should have played Salisu over Vesty last season then. Mind you, this is the bloke that played Redmond instead of adams up front in a semi final.

Yep. We’d have lost that game earlier in the year. Villa’s 15 min spell just after half time would have resulted in a goal and then we’d have crumbled like big girls blouses and lost 3-1.
