They were more than happy to accept the voices of random people from London to Athens to Harare when going through with the FC100,000 idiocy, but don’t want to deal with actual fans.

I wasn’t the biggest fan of the kit, but I didn’t get the outrage, but outrage is in vogue within society. Is it any worse than 2012-13 or 2021-22?

[Siderite]

I am not impressed by our goalkeeping situation, but I am less impressed by some eager to stick the boot in for any goal conceded. Many are berating Watson for the goal, with more sensible fans saying he wasn’t at fault. Criticism is fine, but it has to be warranted and constructive. Hysteria at any goal isn’t and makes it look like a witch hunt, even if such people say it’s not.

Not convinced. He wasn’t helped by being in a terrible team, but he was one of the poor elements of it. The fact that he has never been first choice since says it all, but he might have improved. It’s all we can hope for. I would have been happier with Slocombe.

The amount of time and primarily public money invested by the BBC in the promotion of a sub standard product is scandalous.

The level… well, these professional adult females have known to be beaten by U15 boys teams. The USA team, who I believe were ranked no1 in the world for a good while, get whipped by U15 boys teams.
I just can’t see the appeal myself.
Everyone to their own i guess?
Happy viewing.

No-one forces you to watch; yes the quality will be less, but so is a Scunny game compared to a Barcelona game. It’s not positive discrimination to show a Scunny game on, sky, it isn’t to show a major woman’s tournament. No-one is being affected by its airing in any way.

Campbell could have positioned himself better, but there were several unmarked players. Regardless of whether Campbell called for them, the defenders should have known to mark players. When there is a collective error, it’s unfair to single out one player for special criticism.

[Siderite]

Yeah, but we had a dip in form and Butler could never have thought of a solution to the poor form without reading those opinions on here.

Different generation Rene. Less materialistic and less prone to entitled outbursts demanding instant gratification.

The reactionary types aren’t all the younger generations. Some of those who have been ranting at games, at players, have been older.

Most ridiculous reaction on social media last night was the claim of cover up on SUFC X regarding Alfreton’s goal. Were Alfreton in on the conspiracy too?:

‘Trialist gets his second goal of pre season as he brings us level with a header from a left wing cross! YES!’

Someone should tell them not to put the Alfreton goal in the match highlights on youtube given they apparently want to cover it up.

[Siderite]

I have my deep concerns, but getting behind him is all we can do. After all, one know-it-all was saying anyone thinking last season could be a promotion were living in dreamland and look at how that turned out.

I don’t think it’s either/or. If Islamophobic chants or statements were being put forward, I don’t think the excuse would be that Islamist terror attacks and insurgencies in the Sahel are worse, therefore we should just ignore it. So, yes, when the ‘people who just want peace’ call for death, there will be shock and outrage. They are calling for more war and bloodshed because some are naive and others are more bothered about destroying Israel than stopping war (hence why Palestinian peace voices on twitter get called Mossad/Israeli/Zionist shills by some on the left).

Anyway, the one thing that stuck in my craw more than most was Bob Vylan’s little rant about Zionists controlling the music industry. No “we just want to criticise Likud” about that. Pure antisemitic conspiracies about evil Jews in control of others with nothing about criticising a war, but will be made out to be when highlighted. There should be nothing wrong with criticising Israel; the problem is that many on the left go into attacking Jews and others will say it’s just ‘legitimate criticism of Israel’ when these actions are pointed out. You can criticise Israel without going into rants about baby killers, smashing up synagogues, ripping off Israeli hostage stickers and hurling abuse at Jewish people. Antisemitic incidents have rapidly risen over the past few years and many on the left will ignore it and choose to focus on some examples where someone is being too eager to use the term, ignoring the rest, and acting like the right when they do the same towards claims of racism towards black people. I will believe the left stands for opposing racism when they confront this, instead of palming it off as legitimate criticism of Israel.

I got into an argument with someone on social media yesterday who had claimed Jews called war on Nazi Germany and that Mossad did 9/11. Of course, when called out, they went into a little spiel about how they’re just legitimately criticising Israel (even bragging about what a good little anti-racist they were). Nonsense – these are distortions of the truth and play into the very antisemitic canards, but too many on the left ignore it. And, while it’s not all, it’s too common and too commonly ignored.

Memes of JD Vance mean you get refused to the country, apparently, and now they want to include all social media accounts you have used for the last 5 years in visa applications. So much for free speech. Will Vance be lecturing us again about how we need to respect free speech while banning people for mocking him?

So, that’s Fitzsimons, Barrows and Whitehall not going to Matlock, despite the claims made by Dave burners.

I feel Clunan was underrated by his ardent critics and overrated by his fans. He did well in NLN, some didn’t see it, but the NL will be a lot more physical and that could have been his undoing.

Slight correction there. He has signed for Blyth Town, which is a separate team from the same town.
