If he didn’t want to be here why did he come twice.
I said he wasn’t happy here – and he wasn’t. He came to get game time and put himself in the shop window. It worked.
Bullshine!
His mother and family were at one of the home games and when interviewed after the match they said how much Ivan was loving it here.
We could have signed him permanently but as usual the club dithered and Posh pulled the rug from under our feet on the last day of the transfer window. The same day Holmes left, so perhaps we were waiting for that deal to go through first.
Whatever the reason we missed out again but to say he didn’t want to be here, or was hounded out by “the worst fans in the country” is wrong.

Depends on the club’s heritage.
No surprise Gateshead and York came up last season as they’re run like an EFL setup. Plus the stadia are multi-use. Gateshead is used for athletics and has other facilities on site and the new LNER stadium at York has swimming pool, gym, bowling alley, library, cafe and outdoor all-weather pitches.
Spennymoor and Blyth on the other hand are not much of a step up from your average CIU Club. Other than a portacabin club shop there’s nothing else on site. And you don’t need reminding how good the food is!
And these are just four ground I’ve been to in the last 12 months.
If it were managed properly GP would be fine. However, if it were to be taken off us and we had to start up elsewhere, it could be a real struggle. And from what I have seen, clubs that just break even don’t win leagues.

You still have members of the coaching staff that have been part of the five year malaise in charge of the squad.
Why would anything change?

I thought the thread title was “Absolute Messi!!” and was about Joe Nuttall.

How would singing God Save The Queen be appropriate now she’s dead?
Yes, I’d draw the line at that, but a minutes silence/applause would have been acceptable IMO.

Brainwashing, or teaching respect?
It’s a tough call isn’t it?
A minute silence at a football ground is hardly an unusual occurrence these days. It’s more likely to be in honour of the old groundsman than the old monarch.
Then again a minute of applause seems to have taken over of late. Is this to drown out any booing or heckling?
I suspect that many clubs were shit-scared of individuals interrupting the silence or groups chanting obscenities like we had at Shamrock Rovers (albeit a ROI team).
Had something similar happened at an English club would they (the club) have been hit with a hefty fine?
I’m no Royalist, but I do believe the Queen was worthy of respect and agree with BS than it would have given thousands of fans an opportunity to come together and show that respect in public.
Football got it wrong again.

Football postponed. Cricket, Rugby and Horse Racing go ahead!
The sport of kings. The playing fields of Eton. The gentlemen of the MCC. Blah, blah!
Association Football, the home of lefty republicans and anti-royals? It would seem so wouldn’t it?
(Apart from Engerland games obviously!)
