Non-footy’s back, Heath. If you click the forum button at the top you should be able to see the section.

I am sure that is the motive, though I hadn’t made any accusations. I just said that he’s up there with other owners deemed poor (with non-sweary nicknames for these).

Anyway, I realise that running this site brings such risk, so I don’t want to make anything more of it.

Blimey. I didn’t think my last reply was that slanderous or offensive! I was just saying I think Swann is up there with the worst owners. :-O

Good to see Bucks admit his wrongs here. :-)

FFS! Not more non-footy.

Thats why we have opinions les, I enjoy a little LC but Dylans back catalouge is so vast and playable on guitar it’s a no brainer for me.

Controversial opinion: Bob Dylan’s a wonderful songwriter but a rubbish performer. Almost every Dylan cover is an upgrade on the original.

I can’t agree. Not a great singer, technically, but it makes it quintessentially Dylan. I would rather listen to his work than the majority of covers. Jimi Hendrix and All Along the Watchtower one of the few exceptions.

It does depend on the context. The Taliban destroying the Buddhist statues of Bamiyan was cultural vandalism.

Nuanced and complex problems societies face creates uncertainty and anxiety in many. Hence why the conspiracies are so appealing. They offer a simplistic solution full of certainty. It’s less anxiety inducing, when you don’t like the idea of a cashless society, to think this is some nefarious plot with only downsides, over thinking there will be pros and cons, where there may be a less definitive right or wrong.

The fact that society is becoming cashless wasn’t what was labelled as a conspiracy theory. The sinister theorising behind it was. ;-)

To be fair, many of those former league clubs in that division are phoenix clubs who have risen to that level.

The costs saved from floodlights would not justify the lost fans who can’t make it, due to work commitments, I should imagine.

An interesting article on the cause of price rises:

It’s from the Grauniad though, so I am sure the ‘reasonable’ will use their ‘balanced’ nature to just dismiss out of hand. :-)

Sorry. Misunderstood. I thought this was what Awaywego was referring to.

If fans are going to harass the fan’s director they risk Neil thinking why bother and giving up, with few wanting to take over. Spoiling one of the good things that have happened recently through spite.

I thought the whole point of it was to have aggro with like-minded casuals, not harass the ‘scarfers’. If they must do this, why not save it for something away from the ground with Chesterfield, Oldham, Wrexham, Notts County or other clubs who have firms, not some club like Solihull, who I can’t imagine having a hooligan element?

Apparently they went straight for the Solihull supporters’ coaches after the game to taunt and harass their fans.

It’s so sad that Rudy has gone this way. He was a respected and respectable figure after 9/11 as NYC mayor. That would have been a legacy for him, which I would have admired, despite political differences. Now he will be remembered as Trump’s lickspittle and supporter of election overturning because he didn’t like the outcome.

Now Rudy has come up with what I am sure is a ‘balanced’ view for some, even if it is completely mad by any rational standard (sure, the former president’s home is some safe place for sensitive documents). Though, it is the Huff Post, so it might be just dismissed, despite it quoting his words.

https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/rudy-giuliani-trump-documents_n_62ff16fbe4b063894831c567

It’s standard Republican tract. One minute we can’t assume Trump had the documents, to say otherwise is partisan. The next, he had good reasons to have the documents. Despite the flip-flopping and excuse making these are the reasonable ones, and are definitely not partisan. :-)

Looks like WG will have to tune out soon, as we have another off-topic discussion to drag on and on. :-)

We also have the theory of gravity, theory of plate tectonics and germ theory. I guess you take similar disbelief to those, as they are only theories too, and we might fall up if we jump out of a building? :-)

Indeed, but it seems to be ignored by larger media outlets and Labour are still pretending there are no issues with how trans rights are framed.

I see Trump has now leaked the warrant to Breitbart, containing names of agents involved, and they have published it. I would say this is worrying and dangerous, but I am sure that’s my partisan nature, and that a balanced view is to accept that it’s ok for right wing rags to publish private details of evil elites who tried to take down Trump.

[Siderite]

Regardless of whether Trump’s done a wrong here, it’s coming clear that the FBI have reason to believe sensitive documents were there, which makes the idea that retrieving them was a ‘political’ move to be more preposterous by the day. I try to be as objective as possible, but I see no reason how it could be wrong for the FBI to retrieve such documents, if they believed there was a possibility of them being there (even Trump is not denying and encouraging public information being made available for this, so the idea that this is all a conspiracy by the elites, is just silly and partisan nonsense). It is, frankly, dangerous for anyone to have them in such a personal setting.
