All the news yesterday in the PL was about the Everton board being advised to stay away from the game for their own safety.
Plenty of footage of fans with banners protesting from the stands on MOTD.
No publicity is bad publicity don’t they say?
Twelve months ago we were still (technically) an EFL club and the shit about Swann’s gambling hadn’t hit the fan.
A year is a long time in football!
Some of us do that in Sainsbury’s car park!

Not often I agree with III & AWG but it’s speculation based upon… (insert theory here).
By the same argument NLI is entitled to his views, and as others have said we won’t know the truth until the whole sad saga has been played out.
I never thought Swann would agree to £3.5 million so anything’s still possible.
Many a twist and turn yet to come methinks!

Isn’t Woking what Alcazar and Big J used to accuse us of?
JI, I’ll repeat my point from above if you missed it:
“Despite the Reformation, the advance of science and space exploration there are still people out there who believe the Biblical version of the creation.
Don’t you find that a bit weird?”
You may or may not be one of the above, only you know that.
“Would steal the steam off your piss” was a phrase I always found amusing.
JI wrote “One responder even felt it appropriate to cite that, presumably, my faith position meant that I somehow contested Galileo’s ‘fanciful notion’ that the sun didn’t orbit around the earth and, although I had stated quite clearly my views on the age of the earth”.
And what I wrote on my post #252130 on 7/1/23 was: “And to think Galileo was deemed a heretic!”
That was all!
Where in that did it say that YOU dismissed Galileo?
You are making stuff up again. I cited nothing of the sort. I’ll thank you not to put words into my mouth!
My point was that the creation story was flawed (and that’s being generous) because of the Earth centric view and the fact that anyone who questioned this was deemed a heretic.
Now despite the Reformation, the advance of science and space exploration there are still people out there who believe the Biblical version of the creation.
Don’t you find that a bit weird?
Or do Christians cherry pick which bits of the good book to believe and conveniently dismiss other sections?
This is what I can’t get my head round.
Trump said, so it must be true!
Not sure what’s funnier. That or LK’s new avatar.
Anyone up for re-mortgaging their house?
Just what I was thinking Pat!
Could have had Eastwood back but he’s gone on loan to Dale.
If I give Swanny a quid will I own Scunthorpe United?
Not bothered about the land and stuff!
Been down this path before but it looks to be blocked by tumbleweed!
Always thought Beck was better than Clapton.
Though I know that sounds like heresy to some!

Are they Swann’s personal taxes, or the club’s. I would think the latter.
Surely SUFC employ a club accountant. I can’t imagine Swann filling in the tax returns himself.
Not removing any blame from him but we need to think carefully about what we post on this matter.

They had to airbrush the fat t**t out otherwise you wouldn’t have been able to see the rocket!
Joke!
Should have to stand down and by-election called.
I’d say they’re the worst of the worst Heath.
Unfortunately people like this are governing us. But that’s another topic!
Ah, The Smiths! Definitely a time & place band.
How Johnny Marr go this riff together I’ve no idea…….

Sidey, you’re heading down the same path as religion.
That is, trying to categorise everything. You can’t neatly pigeon-hole everyone’s ideals and beliefs.
If people just concentrated on being themselves instead of thinking they had to follow some pre-defined course then we may all get on better.
The worst people are those who not only believe they should be following a pre-defined course but expect others to do the same.

Saturday was the first time in a long while that we’ve seen the real Scunthorpe United!
That penultimate paragraph is agreeable. I wouldn’t be so dismissive in much of the rest. People believe for many reasons, but the comfort it gives is surely one huge factor which is understandable for even the hardened atheist.
But surely you can take comfort in any number of stories from any number of books? In fact the Bible is not a comforting book to read!
There are far better reads out there that don’t demand that you worship the author in return.
Anyhow my post was a specific reply to JI’s question about creation theory.
“You didn’t say why it seems self evident to you from that experience that there can be no Creator.”
Because in the Abrahamic religions the universe is earth-centric. “Heretics” were burned at the stake for declaring that the Earth orbited the Sun.
That and the fact that the age of the Earth is set at around 6-7,000 years.
As I said previously it is nonsense. The creation story was a simple explanation to placate people who were by our modern day standards unintelligent and superstitious.
We’ve moved on from that. We shouldn’t in 2023 be believing Bible stories any more than we do Greek or Norse mythology.
Religious texts generally give finite explanations. We know that science is not finite and that we are learning and expanding our knowledge all the time.
Just don’t get why religion is still a thing.

Your posts are becoming increasingly depressing SOS.
At least allow us to bask in the sunny uplands of a 3-0 win for a few days.

Swallows don’t arrive until April. And by that time……!
Sounds like a speedway team.
BS might be interested!

Luckily football is played out on a pitch not inside a betting shop!

Bugger me!
Didn’t see that coming!
Chesterfield matching West Brom in the cup. Perhaps our festive results weren’t as bad as they looked.
Your question was “by volume”!
