    Terror attack in Manchester?

    Of course, a "racial cause" could be a white bloke wanting to stab people he think might be Islamic and out to do the country harm, so could still be defined as terrorism, though probably just a deluded basket case!

    Terror attack in Manchester?

    Absolutely - that was the point i was trying to make, 92! I was going to put "Allah" but thought that might be jumping to conclusions!

    Terror attack in Manchester?

    The definition of terrorism includes the requirement that "the threat is made for the purpose of advancing a political, religious, racial or ideological cause", rather than just being someone with an axe to grind or is having some kind of episode. But, sure, the ideology they espouse may well...

    Those police vans can be very uncomfortable, i understand. Hope he doesn't come out with too many inexplicable bruises or broken bones!

    Terror attack in Manchester?

    Who said it was a terror attack? It's just as likely related to the fact there isn't another World Mental Health Day today!

    Sky Blue Special

    Saw this tweet from Dean Nelson that on this day in 1965, JH launched the Sky Blue Special train service to Preston. Interesting how language has changed, as it is described in the flyer as "The gayest supporters' train ever"!! I can't help thinking we may (rightly or wrongly) take some flak for...

    Why are we not in our home strip - there is no clash! I HATE that with a passion. Time the FA put a stop to it!

    Appealing the red

    The art of the "shoulder to shoulder" challenge has been lost in recent years (or certainly the ability to referee it has). Most of the time, it is one player barging the other off the ball with the shoulder, which is a foul. There is no benefit for the attacking player to try and win the ball...

    Losing for Dummies - Rotherham (a) TLS

    Another terrific read - thanks Laurence. Do you write professionally? Your use of language is far superior to most of today's so-called journalists in click-bait newspapers! One negative - hippos can't get rabies, sorry!

    Phrases from your childhood/ teenage years you don’t hear anymore

    Pumps is quite common further north too. In the West Country where i grew up (and i think in South Wales), they were "daps"!

    A message to Mark Robins

    I'm sorry, but right from game 1 against Southend, McFadz in particular, but others too, has shown an acute lack of awareness of who is around him, and has played others (notably Marosi) up shit creek without a paddle. I'm happy playing out from the back, and we play some stunning football that...

    The apprentice 2019

    Of course, yes i remember now - they used to get a job selling Amstrad computers or something, didn't they? I wonder if it changed after he had been dragged through that protracted claim for constructive dismissal by Stella English - once bitten, etc, etc! She lost, with the Tribunal Judge...

    Things that annoy you

    Talking of "quite specific" ... Fucking Warwick District Council wasting money on having a Veolia road-sweeper lorry do every street around Kenilworth virtually every day - in the morning rush hour! I've been held up by that c**t three days this week. THEY DON'T NEED DOING THAT OFTEN!!!!
