    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    It depends. Ultimately it depends on whether or not the subject still believes what they said. If they still believe ‘x, y or z’, there is no ‘time limit’. Suppose someone said a racist thing as “a joke”, it clearly isn’t acceptable behaviour but if someone repents, they should be forgiven. If...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    To be clear, Corbyn’s words were on record and he was an MP rather than a schoolboy. In any case, I’m pretty sure he didn’t disavow what he said. In fact, Corbyn only ever tried justified what he said with regards to him meeting with the IRA and Hamas/Hezbollah. All we have on the Farage...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    If it can be proven, then absolutely people should be punished. In this case, the fundamental issue at play here is that the allegations are unverifiable, at best it’s he said, she said. It’s also the case that immature teenagers probably say shit that’s deliberately hurtful rather than because...

    Match Thread Ipswich Town - Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 6th Dec

    I'd seen somewhere on another thread that he was due back for PNE away, this could be wrong and to miss 2 games due to concussion protocols seems like overkill to be honest.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    No, I’m afraid the pot is calling the kettle black. Your initial input compared to Farage allegedly saying horrible things to Begum doing illegal things. This comparison was deliberate even if it was implicit. Which is a stupid moral imposition because Farage didn’t do anything illegal (deeply...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Deeply misleading question because you’re presuming guilt. There’s a reason we assume innocence before guilt and in this case, the claims are unverifiable and the timing of the allegations are deeply suspicious. Why now rather than 2016 If someone accused you of racism without proof, should you...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Really?! This is your argument? 😂 Firstly, taking the allegations at face value, no one is really saying Farage didn’t know what he was doing. They just don’t think words said 50 years ago is relevant to today. Secondly, joining a terrorist group and supporting their crimes is a crime and...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    It’s not quite the same thing as someone going to the Middle East and joining ISIS, is it? 😂 No one can actually prove what Farage said but we know Begum did what she did. Dumb whataboutism, next.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Seeing as Farage has been in the public eye for 10+ years now, the timing of these unverifiable allegations strikes me as suspicious to be honest. The electorate writ large accepts that, even if the allegations are true, what people said 50-60 years ago as kids is not really relevant. The...

    Match Thread Ipswich Town - Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 6th Dec

    Agreed. However, we're missing BTA, Wright (50:50), Sakamoto which probably means that we'll end up playing a variation of 5-3-2 even if we don't start with it. I'm leaning towards naming an unchanged team to start and finishing the game playing 5-3-2/3-4-3 and it depends on Rudoni's fitness imo.

    Match Thread Ipswich Town - Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 6th Dec

    There’s a chance of it because Ipswich have struggled against teams that play 3 CBs and wing backs. A quick scan shows the only team playing 5 defenders is Swansea. They’ve played Bristol, PNE, Charlton, Blackburn, Wrexham, Derby, Southampton and even Bromley. Whilst they’ve won 1 win in 9...

    Transfer Rumour Keyan Varela

    It is a great find, but has taken him a while to adapt and looking ahead to this window, any signings need to hit the ground running.

    Southampton tickets.

    Two cracking away days to start the New Year though! If we go up this season, the memories we’ll all make is priceless. The 4-2 v Boro was probably the best away game since Wolves in the FA Cup! I’ve had my sanity questioned for Doing Boro, Ipswich and PNE in consecutive away games!

    Mutually Assured Destruction

    I agree that should, but looking at most historical season, there’s a clear Top 3 followed by another 2-3 teams that are separate by 1-3 points. Why not guarantee Top 3 for UCL and if the FA Cup is won by an automatic qualifier, it roles to 4th place. If the winner is outside that, they get the...

    Mutually Assured Destruction

    I'll be honest, I'm not 100% sure. AI slop seems to indicate 'yes' but I'd take that with a pinch of salt. A big issue with the Prem is that it's a league of 'have and have nots', if you not fighting for survival or the Top 8, you're bobbing along really. The big incentive of a UCL place for...

    Mutually Assured Destruction

    Exactly, there's only been a few instances in recent years where a non-top 4 team have won it: Palace - 24/25 Leicester - 20/21 - this would've been a UCL shootout Arsenal - 19/20 Chelsea 17/18 Winner gets UCL, runner up get Europa league if applicable. Even the winners are generally 5-8th if...

    Doug King TalkSport Interview

    Every interview he has, he always comes across well. Even when it comes to defending unpopular decisions like ticket prices or sacking Robins. The club appears to be in safe hands and making sound decisions. Hopefully we have a go in the Jan transfer market to secure promotion and hopefully...

    Mutually Assured Destruction

    It's the same the EFL Cup too, fans are voting with their feet and treating these games as second class because in truth, they are. If they scrapped the EFL Cup next season, fans won't shed a tear. Winning the FA Cup in 23/24 would've been legendary and better than winning promotion that season...
