East Kent Saint

Still managed a yellow card for a non existent foul caused by Chelsea play acting .

Chelsea v Man City very tight match so far , pitch seems very crowded !

Lawrie Mc on football focus re living the day !

Spent last 2 years with PSG as well

Or stop factory farming cattle or don’t eat any fast food from multinational chains , tick.

Well said CBF . We avoid buying anything with palm oil in it due to destruction of the ancient rain forests assosiated with it . It wasn't listed as a separate ingredient until recently , before that it was disguised under vegetable oils . Not much but you have to start somewhere. Eco fuel is now being promoted by the Govt unfortunately to produce said food based fuel additive it involves using land that is required for food producion and also encourages the destruction of ancient rain forests . Likewise soya beans ! Lets go for electric cars , unfortunately same large energy use to produce said cars plus batteries require large quantities of rare elements which require new mining activity around certain countries around the world. No thought about reducing vehicle engine size , output , max speed etc . Energy saved over the last 10 years by hybrid and electric cars has been overtaken by the sale of massive gas guzzling SUVs . So do what you can , even if it seems futile , and keep protesting even if it's ignored .

Chambers at RB ! Cedric on bench !

So what do you suggest ?

Have to see what Forster says apparently.......

As we know nothing is decided until the 'Fat Lady sings'

Of course We don't feel good about ourselves by making our voices heard but the point should be made rather than just shrugging the shoulders and saying there is nothing we can do . FIFA and Olympic commitee corruption is at the heart of these decisions which is an ongoing disgrace but Bread and Circus's keep the Hoi Poloi entertained and 'Happy' so thats's alright then .

I think it is inportant for people to make their point at least those in charge will be aware even if they ignore it . How much better it would have been if Blair had taken notice of the marches against the 2nd Gulf war , for him and all those people who died in that war and the fact that it made us a bigger target . Slave type conditions in the middle east are normal , people cannot escape as their bosses have their passports and local laws allow their exploitation . Zero contracts , constant monitoring of individuals via computers governing their comfort breaks etc etc , which are now being put forward for home working , are not much better .

What if Lallana is kissing the badge at the time , that would change the point of reference .

We all know this is “sportswashing” as already deployed by China , Russia , Saudi Arabia , Bahrain etc not only that but it is too hot to play sport outdoors and they have no football heritage.

No someone else !

I think Lambert meant totalitarianism which is the same wether it refers to Hitler or Stalin . China etc have got COVID under control because they have complete power over the people . They are suggesting that they are superior to western democracy as a result ! Le Tissier is completely unhinged if he said that .

Is this orchestrated or a copy cat reaction or a kick back for taking the knee ? Always gets publicity.

I’d give him a go , mind you I thought keeping Long was OK ...........

Re Lambert , I always remember being asked to sing at school (solo in the classroom) the Teacher said “ well some people can and some people can’t “ Of course he may be dyslexic or have a stammer etc so probably best not to bully him on the internet.

The stand out was Steve Heighway who got a 2:1 in economics and politics at Warwick . It was mentioned on MOTD every time he played ! I think they thought he was a bit of a freak to have a degree and play football.

Well obviously it was an issue a year or so ago when the enquiry was being set up and various people were deselected before it started but other things became more important such as we couldn’t go anywhere or do anything for weeks at a time . The highlight of the week was going to Tesco’s ! The report was delayed and largely forgotten until it was published . This thread started about taking the knee , I pointed out that the knee was more significant in USA as it was done during the playing of the national anthem so here it would be better to stick to the Kick it out program . The report bit was really complaining about news management , the fact that they were putting out a story rather than trying to address racism etc . Of course it spiralled out of control with ridiculous statements from both sides . Time to move on , the police pointed out that the recommendations for them were the same as 40 years ago in the Lord Scarman report so as they weren’t implemented neither will the current ones but actually doing something wasn’t why they set up the committee.

Shirt technology has been used in both Rugby codes , much tighter and synthetic material . They tried the ripping shirt but they didn’t last long !

Boris liked Trump and Bannon and has imported their tactics . The point of his non investigation into racism is to take a position and let people rage against that position . As shown on here it has worked 100% . Yes we have fallen into his trap big time .

Watching Motd again the Saints looked excellent in attack ! KWP was in a different weight division re the Pen , he was pushed aside and made a bad tackle as a result. Re Che's miss , did Pope get a touch with his right boot ? Plus it was inches past the the post not shot wide as in reports !

I feel much better now ...
