    Terror attack in Manchester?

    My apologies, i have seen a second photo of the incident with his face. I don't know why his leg is so pale if the face is genuine

    Terror attack in Manchester?

    I don't think the bloke's any more a terrorist than i am (i'm not, by the way!!). He's just deranged! People jumping to so many conclusions, and the hand-wringing on Twitter is unbelievable. No-one gives a shit if "your thoughts are with those affected". Jeee-zus!

    Terror attack in Manchester?

    If you look at the picture of him being detained, his left calf doesn't look very black to me. Does he identify as black, maybe???

    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...

    Match Thread Forest Green Rovers vs. Coventry City Match Thread - Tuesday 8th Oct

    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...
