Again a 1 in 12 chance of maybe being returned to another European country. Is that really going to deter people from trying ? My point was Brexit (other than France not being willing to patrol their borders/coast properly) was not the reason for the influx. Asylum applications spiked across...

It was 8% of incoming applications granted. Under DR there will always be outgoing applications to offset. As I say, Germany offset meant net 1.5k. France net 400. Hardly worth it. Would it make a difference as a small deterrent maybe. Like the governments current agreement with France if ramped...

I don’t disagree with issues since Brexit but I’m not accepting something that is not backed up. Did you read my posts ? I’ve explained that using DR would not have made a significant difference and provided data to back that up . I also stated that France has made little effort post Brexit. We...

Youve ignored the main point. That even though Germany put in 74k DR requests only 6k were granted and then they had 4.5k incomings granted. Net 1.5k.Whats the point ? I also said we used to try to use DR and last figure I saw was 8% granted. Looking at the figures the argument that leaving...

Hmmm, in the last decade or so ? Socially - LBGTQ rights, understanding and prominence far greater than it’s ever been Migration - highest migration and loosest controls ever Tax/welfare - increasing tax take from higher earners, increasing welfare bill. Throw in furlough as well It was...

This is another Brexit myth Tony. Have a look at the numbers. We were a net taker under Dublin agreement in some years and also only had 8% returns accepted in 2016 Bizarrely you could argue that returns have increased because we left (I wouldn’t though as it’s just cos the numbers have...

Yeah was going to say pretty much the same. With hindsight, Dasilva was always going to struggle a bit on Saturday as they’re a strong team that’s focussed around set pieces and getting it in the box. A couple of times I checked how we set up when derby were on the other side of the pitch and...

Robins obviously preferred Binks at start of last season, whether that’s because of a fall out or he preferred Binks as a CB I don’t know. Had to double check and out of first nine games Kitching played three times, once against Bristol city in cup (clean sheet, Binks back next game) and Oxford...

Forgot about Wardley. Would be an entertaining shoot out. Think itauma wins though, wardley is a great puncher but itauma looks like he’s got more in his locker boxing wise. Not had chin tested at all so far though

For anyone who missed hrgovic fight this rounds worth a watch …thought he was going to be taken out !

Dont want to be harsh on Lati but if he left and we got say a Hughes or someone who could play left or right, then id be happy enough with three CBs and then Bidwell (and maybe Perry call back option on loan) as additional cover It’s hard to attract or keep established players who wont play...

He worked his arse off yesterday, second half I remember him sprinting back 50 yards to help MvE out. Definitely upped this part of his game. Lampard has turned him into a far more complete midfielder

Yeah, I wouldnt write off this back line just yet. We were solid against a defensive hull but struggled with a long ball/set piece focussed derby….theyre good at it shocker !…dasilva is always going to struggle a bit more against a team like them and morris is a handful for starters. A lot of...

I bought into the BS and expected Whyte to be that durable test (more fool me !) but after last nights performance hrgovic is a great shout. He looked pretty good in terms of stamina, also decent chin. Next level up before you get to Parker especially as Warrens not going to put DD in with him...

Be interested to see who he goes in with next. Needs a proper test but literally blowing everyone away. As you say could be special

Punch resistance totally gone. Itauma is a massive puncher but whytes legs wobbly AF straight away (maybe temple shot)

As mentioned on another thread. Fair play Lampard on Kitching playing today while his partner is in labour: “Kitch said, ‘no, no, I’ll be there, so he turned up and he played, as he generally does. And now, as I say, fingers crossed that all goes well later on. He’s a throwback to a player...

Great passes, also carried the ball forward well on a few occasions. Read on X that his missus went into labour yesterday but he decided to play this morning and headed to game on his own. Not sure if this is true (never know with X) but if so fair play, proper leader Edit - just seen the quote...

Yeah, ref did the right thing by the rules but the rules are shit as it encourages defending team to fake head injuries (which is exactly what happened). Ref should’ve played on. He also rushed giving the Rudoni foul which rolled to Torp who buried it Having said that Grimes was lucky not to...

never happened on here before
