    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Unsurprisingly some of the media coverage has been more than a little OTT !!! I might be wrong but I’m pretty sure I heard that it’s not as if in these regions the new variant had a significant amount of delta variant to compete against so nobody know if it’s sufficiently more transmissible to...

    First goal

    Exactly what I was thinking Dave. Both keepers letting in goals direct from crosses probably tells us all we need to know...not easy conditions for keepers.

    Lopez v Kambosas on DAZN is well worth a watch. Great scrap

    Kane

    Great bit of business. Didn’t see yesterdays game but sounds like Kane deserves be given a go for next couple Dabo will come again and both, together with Maatsen, will get plenty of minutes this season.

    Walker

    I hope he stays and bides his time but would understand it if he wanted first team football at his age. Waghorn and Godden arent getting any younger but still got a couple of years in them as neither rely on pace. I do think Robins could keep him happier by getting him on sooner. Swansea and...

    Match Thread Bournemouth away

    Kelly and Sheaf both read the game well but don’t get around the pitch as quickly as Hamer

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Yeah, it is a big majority to turn around. Think there’s some small majorities though and these are strange times ! Agree it will need Lib Dem’s to pick up some traditional Tory seats and probably some kind of coalition/agreement It will also need a proper positive vision for the future

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Pretty disappointing/depressing all round really although maybe a little unfair on Truss, Reeves and Nandy who don’t come across too bad. Burnhams good but not an MP so you’d have to chuck in a Ben Houchen who’s apparently doing a decent job on Teeside. I’ve said for a while there’s better...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Yeah, he could struggle because of that and I’m sure the Tories will lay the Remainer stuff on thick. If we’re struggling because of Brexit (or more importantly it’s negatively impacting traditional Labour voting areas that voted Tory last time) then that might not cut through much though. I...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Its the same on both sides PVA which I can never understand…people should vote for who they think would be best for the country and them at the time, not who they or even their family has voted for over the decades… A thatcher government is very different to a Cameron government and a Corbyn...

    Migrants crossing from Europe

    Wow, surprised by that but as I say I don’t have much/detailed knowledge. Know you’ve had experience of settlement abroad etc so thought you’d have an decent idea. Guessing it’s something to stop pretend/sham marriages but thought she’d at least get temp rights

    Migrants crossing from Europe

    Id have assumed that if he was a British citizen and she was becoming his wife she’d have a right to come over at least on a temp basis prior to marriage. I don’t have a detailed knowledge of the rules or the application process though so assume I could be wrong. Anyway all that’s kind of...

    Migrants crossing from Europe

    Fair points shmmeee. I’d imagine a lot of the trafficking start in their countries of origin and the channel crossing is the final leg though.

    Migrants crossing from Europe

    I’m guessing it because we’re broadly more tolerant than most, they’ve been sold the dream (and already probably paid their money to traffickers) and we have jobs galore. Many could benefit our society but we are way past the point of a sensible discussion on asylum seekers and migration in...

    Migrants crossing from Europe

    People blaming the migrants, come on. Most or all would’ve been sold the dream by scrumbag traffickers and are just trying to find a better life for themselves The blame here lies with the traffickers and to some extent the French. As recent as last week we offered to help police the French...

    Blues Ratings

    Yeah, it’s a great weapon to be fair. Thought we handled it pretty well overall but still not easy having to deal with it constantly. I think it’s the combination of that, plus cynical fouling, time wasting and bit of hoof that would be people’s issue rather than that as a standalone. Fair play...

    Match Thread Birmingham City (H) - 7:45 Tue 23rd Nov

    I agree. I’ve said on another post we weren’t clinical enough in final third, that’s a mixture of poor decision making, poor final ball or disappointing effort - Hamer, vik, Walker and maybe Maatsen first half...stick one of those away and it’s a different/game perspective. I thought we played...

    Match Thread Birmingham City (H) - 7:45 Tue 23rd Nov

    Im a big Kelly fan and he did his job last night. Thought hamer played really well off him first half as well, however, Sheaf should’ve been on at some point, especially when they went down to 10. Robins must’ve had his reasons as you say

    Match Thread Birmingham City (H) - 7:45 Tue 23rd Nov

    We’ve seen it against Derby and a couple of others. When teams set themselves up not to lose and play for a point we struggle a little. They also pushed right up at goal kicks which made it trickier to play out from back. If opposition double team Ohare we probably lack a bit of pace to unlock...
