How dare you question soggy's Islamic credentials. He's been on holiday to Turkey. Straight up, he really has. Proper expert is soggy.

I understand that Koeman also believes that if a football is damaged during a match at St. Mary's, Southampton FC needs to be prepared to provide a replacement ball so the match can continue.

Good to see were slowly dragging you down to our level

If BHA come up and the blue few stay down the absolute fury from down the road will be epic.

 

You won't be able to move for newspaper articles/football focus/SSN/etc features about "the rise of south coast football" and not mentioning them.

 

Of course, they'll be happy in their little world of "real football" and won't be jealous at all no way, no sir.

There won't be time for jealousy. They'll be far too busy planning the celebrations for the sixty-seventh anniversary of winning the First Division title on goal average.

You remember goal average? It was a number people used to be able to work out in the old days using long division before electric calculators were invented.

You clearly have problems reading, I don't agree with what either of them have done.

I agree. What was the stupid old bat thinking, giving away her own money like that, without even getting permission.

I bet she'll bloody well make sure she doesn't die for at least two more years, just to make sure it isn't taxed. Some people are just so damned selfish.

So after all that there were irregularities in the end. Unfortunately the culprit was Corbyn. As they say, you couldn't make it up.

And Skinner was the very epitome of what the labour party has become. It's all very sad

It surprises me that intelligent, erudite posters on here can't see that the salient point is that he changed his story 6 times in a week. Doesn't fill me with confidence and now there's apparently the matter of a further £70+K in shares he's sold and not declared.

Statement #1 It's none of your business

Statement #2 I haven't got any offshore investments

Statement #3 None of my family benefits from offshore investments now or in the future

Statement #4 I had shares in my father's legal offshore investment fund but I sold them before I became PM and paid all the tax due

Statement #5 Here's details of my tax affairs

Did I miss something out?

You couldn't make it up.

Fortunately, we don't need to.

Bit harsh

:lol: I'll give you that one.

Jimmy Carr had his UK employment earnings paid directly "offshore". Any fool knows that's not legal. Cameron doesn't, and never did.

The media are hoping that the public are too thick to see the difference.

Villa down as things stand

Maybe I'm just thick, but how can there be a figure for tax avoidance?

So Dave's admitted profiting from the offshore trust now then but claims all the appropriate tax was paid. Wonder why you would go to the trouble of employing a Panamanian law firm to set up an offshore trust like this if the intention was not to avoid tax? I also wonder why he felt he needed to offload it before he became PM as though it was something he didn't want people go know about. Nothing fishy there

Yeah but killing your own father? Is there no depth the man will stoop to?

I am not sure why you are getting worked up about a religion.

I'm not. Those aren't my opinions, they are the opnions of Jack Straw, former Home Secretary, Sir Martin Nairey, former CEO of Barnardos and Mohammed Shafiq, director of the Muslim Ramadan Foundation. But you go on ahead and keep sweeping it under the carpet and hope it will go away.

Did you now that young white British girls are 10 times more likely to be illegally groomed for sex by young Asian men than by any others, even though these men only make up around 5% of the population?

Using the forum's favourite statistical manipulation, that means that per capita Asian men are 200 times more likely to commit the offence than others.

Given that tens of thousands of young girls have been abused, do you not think that is a problem?

So why don't we call those nicked under Operation Yew Tree Christian Rape Gangs?

Are you denying that there is a specific problem with British men of Pakistani descent grooming young white girls for sex? Or Afghans? Or Arabs?

What these men do is a form of racism that's abhorrent in a civilised society.

I wonder how much that cost compares to the information material (aka "propaganda") the government sent out to all households during the European referendum in 1975?

 

(Quite possibly irrelevant whataboutery on my part (for a change), but just curious to compare)

£14 11/6^d

Muslim rape gangs? Surely you mean rape gangs?

Muslim rape gangs.

So they've got, what, half a dozen first team players in on loan 'til the end of the season?

I presume their loans will automatically get extended to cover the play offs, because it would be a crying shame if some of their best players weren't available.

So unless you're saying that we will still be welcoming unemployed Bosnians to come and live here unhindered, then I think you're agreeing with my earlier answer to Moonraker that not much will change.

Hundreds of pot bellied dorks from Blackpool queueing round the block in Magaluf isn't real. You made that up. It isn't even on-topic. But fill your boots.

A tourist visa to go to effing Spain for a week. In this day and age. Christ almighty.

 

For a previous job I had to go to Brussels and Rotterdam semi-regularly - not routine but probably eight times a year or so. Would be an utter ball ache to apply for Visas for that all the time, especially as half of those trips would be on less than a weeks notice.

That's not how it works. You would just get a stamp in your passport when you arrive. If you didn't have a return ticket they wouldn't have let you check in at Luton.

But you carry on inventing imaginary problems if it makes you feel better.

I wonder if there will be queues round the block at Palma airport while hundreds of pot bellied dorks from Blackpool have to fill in a form to explain how they will "support themselves" during their fortnight's all-inclusive in Magaluf.

Let me hazard a guess and say if they all turned up with return tickets and all-inclusive hotel bookings then "if asked" wouldn't be an issue. And if they turned up on a one way ticket with no money they would be refused. It's perfectly normal outside the EU.

What I would like to know is how do the Brexiters hpow will they change and improve border controls if we leave . Is it planned to reintroduce a visa system for all EU nationals? how much would this cost? How would the Irish border work? What are there contigency aarangemnts for the Scottish border should they at some time in future leave the Union and join the EU? Questions that need answering

I'm sure if you stopped for a moment and thought about it you could work it out for yourself.

It will work in the same way it does in the rest of the non-EU world. If you want to come here from the EU as a tourist you'll get a tourist visa stamp on arrival. But you will need to show how you will support yourself during your holiday and where you will stay, if asked.

If you're coming to study, or to work then you need to get a visa in your own country before you arrive here.

And if you haven't got a job you can't come and stay here.

It's not difficult is it. In reality it will only affect jobless people that want to come here to look for work or benefits.

Food for thought?

Police are investigating death threats made against human rights lawyer Aamer Anwar.

 

Mr Anwar, who lives in Glasgow, said he received the threats after calling for unity within Scotland's Muslim community.

 

"It is a terrifying and deeply lonely place to be when you say goodbye to your children and wonder if it is for the last time, but the death of Asad Shah should be a wake-up call to our community that we must not be silenced.

 

"Our so-called community leaders must do much more, they have avoided tackling hatred to preserve their status and that is deeply shameful and hypocritical."

The "battle" in the UK is as much within Islam as it is between Islam and the others.

Again this needs to be considered in conjunction with the apparent £1.1m extra paid in advance for season tickets.

 

There was a £489,000 net cash outflow from operating activities DESPITE season ticket holders paying £1.1m more in advanced season ticket sales before the end of June.

 

Given that this increase won't be repeated; the underlying cash outflow from operating activities was £1.6m.

 

Good job Iain

And don't forget the Tesco money. That's gone as well.

...and it's goodbye from him.
