    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    Not saying you're wrong mate, but that surely hurts as much as anything else Starmer has or hasn't done. I'm also not sure, given the traditional Muslim votes that this might cost Labour, plus the seemingly large scale support for a different approach elsewhere, that taking the government line...

    America

    I found it entirely tolerable, but then as discussed elsewhere I'm not exactly a coffee snob. More than happy with the standard fare too, though again maybe that's a comment on my palate. Steaks are far better, I'd contend, and most big cities (like the UK) have high end fine dining if...

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    Absolutely fair points, but the interesting thing (to me at least) is that whatever some of the press might say, there seems to be broad support for demanding an immediate ceasefire. I think most people can see that no matter what the right wing press want to say, supporting that demand is not...

    America

    In fairness, I've always found it a warm and hospitable place to visit. With huge and staggeringly beautiful spaces too. A while back, I thought seriously about emigrating. A few problems though. 1) Their nutters are well-armed and dangerous (and their police to some degree too!). 2)...

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    I've got to say that I'm somewhat heartened by what I'm reading here today. It does seem that the vast majority accept that what happened to Israel was hideous and should be condemned unequivocally, but at the same time most can see that what Israel is doing is hideously cruel too. My only...

    Match Thread Coventry City - West Bromwich Albion Match Thread - Monday 30th Oct

    If we get after them right from the off, and go at it with real pace and intent, then I think the place will be rocking and the whole team will benefit. If we go into our shells like the second half last night, it'll be horrible. We can play some beautiful football, and we've got some great...

    Hey mate, no worries. You're a fan, this is the right place to fire off. I could be talking entirely out of my arse, many seem to think so in fact, so no offence taken. Made me chuckle in fact. 🙂 We want the same thing at the end of the day, and we won't differ in how we feel at the end of...

    Come off it mate, if you think some of the comments regarding Godden on here are objectively and calmly ranking strikers, then you're not bothering to read the thread or you need better spectacles.

    I can only remember one where I thought he might have done better. We're so slow moving the ball forward that he's feeding mostly on scraps. Simms got in better positions but seems slow pulling the trigger, probably a confidence thing. I don't get the hatred for Godden, personally, but it's...

    In fairness to Godden, how often did we actually play him in? Da Silva seemed to have the run of the pitch first half, but second half I think Rotherham changed formation. From that point forward, until Saka and COH got on, we looked useless (and full of nerves) imho. Such is life, I think we...

    Match Thread Rotherham United FC - Coventry City Match Thread - Wednesday 25th Oct

    We've shed our confidence completely here, they've stepped up and we've stepped back. End of the first half I thought we were right back in it, now we look completely lost...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Labour could make hay with this, but the first thing that I spot today is the watering down of another popular policy, right to roam (basically because it upsets some rural landowners). Is there any policy commitment that Starmer won't cast aside to keep the Daily Mail happy?

    You must've missed King's Judas shot in the kidneys as Robins was walking off stage then. Couldn't believe it. This is why you have to watch until the end of the credits. 😄

    Why is it any lazier than any other suggestion on here? And obviously if Obikwu doesn't make any difference, then he goes back to where he was. This isn't a ridiculous idea, trying people out in the matchday squad is a way to find out if players, particularly young and academy players, are up...

    It's not ahead of him if Wright's already on or comes on alongside him if course. And if we're that worried about the impact on Wright's morale are we saying that he should start every game or never be subbed off for someone else? I'm not sure that holds up entirely. The "no one has seen him...

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    And for other fundamentalists across the globe, including in our own country. If our governments (rightly) decry Islamic fundamentalist terrorism but then stand by whilst Israel kills thousands of Muslims, including women and children, seemingly indiscriminately, then it's not a difficult...

    Match Thread Rotherham United FC - Coventry City Match Thread - Wednesday 25th Oct

    In fairness, I don't think we were talking about anyone playing ahead of Wright, more like someone coming on late in the game either instead of or alongside him. I'm not giving Robins any stick here; it would certainly be disappointing if he wasn't a better football manager than me. I'm just...

    That doesn't seem like an unreasonable argument to me. I don't think we need to rip the team apart, or slate the players currently there, but at some point it would be nice to try something different up front if it's not happening, imho.
