    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Oh dear. Any proof? Of course not. French fishermen are still attacking British fishing boats. They have never liked the fact that we can fish in their water yet forget that they catch many multiples of fish in UK water. The.EU as usual does nothing. So our fishing fleet could need protection...

    Because of Brexit? Are the other EU plants closing because of Brexit?

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    We are told what we are allowed to catch. What we are allowed to catch is preferred in other countries. What we prefer to eat is caught by other EU countries in our water. We have to pay for what is caught in our water. If we ever did regain control of our water we could catch what we want to...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    It has done my sanity great keeping away from this shitfest. Why did I have to look.... Can't be bothered to look through the thousands of posts I've missed. Would be the same thing over and over again. But can't resist a few comments from this page.

    Take the knee

    Described as and pointed out as are two totally different things. Quite simple really. Do you have any features that make you feel insecure in any way? If you do would you like to be referred to by this feature constantly? Then consider it to be just one more thing where you are constantly...

    Take the knee

    I might not like a few things that you have stated but I admire your honesty. I also admire the work you do within your community. The good thing is you are questioning yourself. It is a big part of what taking the knee is about. It is highlighting the problem we have and making people think...

    Take the knee

    It comes down to context. This is what many people have a problem understanding. My eldest daughter is black and proud of it. But people that don't know her don't know she is. But she wouldn't want to be known as 'that black woman' And yes the correct term is black. Other terms, colours and...

    Are you aiming too low for your qualifications? Learned a lesson many years ago. I love interviews. The hardest part on getting a job is getting to the interview stage. I have only reached it once and not been offered a job. My gast was flabbered. I asked them why I wasn't offered the job. The...

    Take the knee

    This is what we mentioned a few days ago. Racist comments made by someone that doesn't realise that he is making a racist comment. 'That black man' looks to be what was said. To many there will be nothing wrong with the statement. Yes he is a man. Yes he is black. But would he have said 'that...

    Take the knee

    I think this has gone straight over your head. It is the perceived angle. It is the hidden racism being aimed at. It is the racism in people that they sometimes don't even notice they have. The message is supposed to be we are all the same. All on one knee together. Then we have one other...

    Take the knee

    The idea is all players should take the knee. It shows we are all equal. But as I said someone not doing so gets defended. It also gives ammunition.

    Take the knee

    Don't you mean she? So can we keep it to before a game and not using just any old pictures? Exactly. So should all players take the knee or should they be able to do whatever they like?

    Take the knee

    The difference for me is one player has gone on one knee and raised an arm. The other has stood up and raised an arm. The idea was that all players are supposed to go on one knee. Solidarity from all involved. Saying we are all the same. If a white player stood alone he would get slaughtered...

    We were on 1 point with 10 minutes to go and got 1 point at full time. So technically nothing changed in the last 10 minutes 😉

    Match Thread Rotherham

    How about the points we have gained in the last 10 minutes? This recent run will do the morale great. Not pretty to watch a lot of the time but we are finally showing we are not relegation fodder. Our match fitness will also be level with the other sides that carried on to the end of last...

    Match Thread Rotherham

    Will just have to see how we get on against the lower down sides now. A bit like last season where we started slower but played many of the better sides early. Not saying we will come close to promotion but very well considering our budget to the other sides. Starting to think mid table is a...

    And to add to the draws the Cardiff result looked even better when they scored 7 without reply in their next 2 games.

    Match Thread Rotherham

    Yes sit back and enjoy. But most sides will have the quality to make it difficult to do. It seems to me as though Robins has decided to defend the 0-0 and hope for a goal instead of defend the 1-0 and then hope for the goal. The main difference today was the early goals. But the rest of the...

    We did set up defensively again but with 2 strikers on. And we dealt with their aerial threat well. It might have felt different as we could relax for most of the game after getting an early 2 goal lead.

    Match Thread Rotherham

    Of course it would but prefer the truth myself. Why not try and say what part of my post was wrong? Anything to do with it being factually correct? Rotherham had a lot more of the ball than us. They had the same amount of shots as we did. But they seem to lack quality up front. And our...
