    Around 2002 we potentially had a team that was more than capable of winning a tournament but as you say some we still young, others a bit past their prime. Then inevitably you get a couple who miss tournaments due to injury. We went out of a lot of competitions around that time on pens or had...

    I agree. I'd rather see a youngster play a competitive U21 than a full friendly. Similarly anyone available for U21 tournaments, regardless of if they're usually part of the main squad, should play in them unless they're going to be a major part of the first team in a tournament at the same...

    Wasps losses and ricoh return catalyst

    I'll just concentrate on this. SISU's business is to get gains for their investors. I know that CCFC is inconsequential to them apart from what it makes their investors. What I'm saying is that doing this plan with CCFC is in fact going to be detrimental to the aim of investors returns overall...

    School Protests

    How long did all branches of Christianity preach against homosexuality? It was within my lifetime. Remember Section 28? First female vicars too. This is still a massive thing for Catholics. DUP are massively anti-abortion and homosexuality and want it banned and they're Protestant. It changed...

    Goal scorer needed

    Don't get me wrong - I agree that we need goals from elsewhere. It's just annoying that it's talked about like 'oh, he needs to add goals to his game' or 'he should be putting that away' for defenders but strikers don't get the same. It's 'that was a poor challenge but it's to be expected from a...

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

    So I assume you're therefore pro independence for Scotland, Wales and the reunification of Ireland. Oh, and independence for Cornwall. They're all saying that being part of the UK is terrible and things would be much better if they weren't. And these arguments have in many cases been going on...

    But football is the 'business' of the club. Hence the decisions based around the football side of it are the business decisions. Of course you can argue their main aim is to reclaim their capital and interest to get their return on investment, but we've been down this road before. It didn't...

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

    We had people doing that since we joined in the 70's - not letting it go. Why didn't Farage etc just 'let it go' that we were part of the EU instead of waging a crusade against it for a couple of decades?

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    When were the tests taken? Can they turn them around that quickly now?

    Goal scorer needed

    I still don't understand why people talk about defenders and midfielders not getting the goals. Strikers can get away with pretty much everything because "it's not their job". Well if that's the case it's not the job of defenders and midfielders to score many goals either. That's not to say the...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Also annoyed at Johnson spouting the 'capitalism' nonsense as being the reason behind the vaccines. Utter bollocks. If capitalism was behind it they'd be charging tens of thousands a dose. Massive demand, supply can't keep up - price should be much higher than it is and climbing. If 'PharmaBro'...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    One thing this Scotland thing is showing is that they're not these principled people fighting for a cause for a cause they believe. They're as much ego-driven, power-hungry and driven by self-interest as every other politician. Hopefully it'll lead to the independence movement taking a long hard...

    Bristol kill the bill protest

    Not much of a protest if you turn up and then just do exactly what you're told. First they get told to move back, then vacate the area, then go home. If they just comply it's a pretty easy ride for the politicians. It's a shame it's the police that have to deal with this. perhaps those...

    Bristol kill the bill protest

    So what about the woman sitting there that gets smashed in the face? Or the journalist that reported they got hit because the police didn't believe them. Proportional response or 'acting the twat'? Why did the police make up claims of injuries that never happened unless they want to make it seem...

    Wasps losses and ricoh return catalyst

    Indeed. But as you say that plan requires significant player sales to bring about. While no doubt there would be players we could get a decent fee for even if we went down as they now have Championship experience (O'hare, Hamer, Dabo) + return on the likes of Walker and Godden it still seems to...

    School Protests

    I agree they could've approached it differently. you can have the argument about showing images of Mohammed etc without actually showing them. Arguing why they should and shouldn't be shown. At most all they needed was a blank piece of paper on the desk saying it had an image of Mohammed on the...

    School Protests

    Who's providing the unsafe learning environment? A guy showing some cartoons or a load of people outside the gate and on social media calling for said teacher to be sacked/jailed or worse for showing them? Christianity used to have similar laws - one of the commandments is no graven images...

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

    It's all very well talking about 'not listening to legitimate concerns' but the fact is many people did and saw the massive holes in the argument that the actual legal system didn't support. For example, the 'proper' racists that wanted less black/brown people - that's outside the EU and thus...

    Wasps losses and ricoh return catalyst

    I agree with the plan BUT the problem with it is it's again short-sighted like when they took over, bought some decent players and sold them quickly for the profits ultimately leading to relegation, a much lower income and thus less chance to recover interest/capital. If they plan to take out...

    Ngandu

    I wouldn't have Eccles and N'gandu as playing the same role. One is more of a Kelly-type player the other closer to O'Hare, or maybe Hamer. You wouldn't put them down as competing for the same role. But having said that Eccles is definitely closer to first team, but is also a year older. He's...
