I'm enjoying listening to all the chats online about the automatic promotion race and none of it includes us as we are assumed up with 7 games still remaining.
What a season it has been.

Honestly this place!! I try to steer clear of the politics threads because it’s become an echo chamber for leftwing lunatics who think they’re right on but. incapable of reasonable debate, simply everything in their lane is like it love it, everything else is poo emoji and a pile on.

I posted that Farage’s Ipswich visit shouldn’t have happened, I said he was a divisive character but basically it wasn’t a big deal. I’m not even a Reform supporter, but don’t let that stop the poo emojis and pointing out that you don’t like Farage again (we know, we get it) simply because I said it shouldn't be big news. I would have loved Polanski to head to Plymouth and have a bunch of Polanski 10 Green shirts on hooks. I don’t agree with his politics either, but there would have been no meltdown, the hypocrisy is off the scale.

In fact I can hand-pick the poo emojis that will react to this too. It’s embarrassing tbh when you behave like the playground bullies that you supposedly hate.

'The politcis threads' - this is the football side of the forum. Helps if you can actually read and not just try to be a dick.

I gave the emoji because I strongly disagree with what you wrote but didn’t want to turn the Championship thread into off topic politics, and is also why I’ve tried to minimise commenting on it beyond saying a football club shouldn’t associate with a political party.

The fact you’ve had to invent something that hasn’t happened then claim people wouldn’t react to it to try and have a point says a lot here.

We all know he's grifting, Ipswich shouldn't have let it happen, but basically it's bloke visits a football ground.

The meltdown is incredible. He's a divisive figure, but to read some of the comments on X you'd think he was Hitler.

People saying how bad it would be here, but probably supported Marlon King. On some groups fans are saying Greenwood should be back for England because he's not convicted of anything.

in fact there are wars going on all around the world. This really shouldn't be that big a deal whatever his colours.
Click to expand...
I've requoted my own message back. Which part do you strongly disagree with.

I'll list all of the points to make it easy for you

1) Farage is a grifter
2) Ipswich shouldn't have let it happen
3) Bloke visits football ground
4) Farage is a divisive figure
5) Farage isn't Hitler
6) City fans upported Marlon King
7) Some fans think wife beater Mason Greenwood should play for England
8) Wars going on all around the world
9) It's not a big deal

Basically you're 'strongly disagreeing' with what I wrote and posting poo emojis for 3 & 9. Life is a tough place if that's your take.

To be fair most people have already agreed that they would be annoyed if Cov did this for one of the more progressive political parties so I guess we can safely say would think it stupid if you had the Greens at Plymouth.

I fucking despise that grifter but I'm delighted it happened.
If it causes them even a slither of distraction from the job in hand then I'm all for it.

What have I invented? Did I invent the poo emojis? Did I invent the posters quoting my own post back to me just to say what a horrible man Farage was despite my post showing no support for him which received a bunch of likes? Weird, really weird.

Agree, I want no political party anywhere near the club, even one that I support. We're a broad church, as this thread shows. We're not a St Pauli or a Lazio where there's a strong leaning amongst the fan base (even in those cases, there will be many exceptions). Keep it all away.

Regarding the Farage thing, it's best just ignored. All the attention is exactly what he wanted. People are feeding right into his hands.

Yeah I’d rather take this into off topic than waste space on one of the biggest football threads. Which I was actually trying to avoid, but whatever.

I think you're confusing blokes in their 20s, some of whom aren't even UK citizens and couldn't care less either way, with a bunch of middle aged white blokes arguing on another clubs football forum. I doubt it will make an iota of difference.

How would it

A stadium tour is a completely different thing to a promotional photoshoot. Anyone with a brain would have stepped in when they started hanging Farage 10 shirts in the dressing room

Because Farage would then say he’s been marginalised and the “establishment” is trying to stop him - as he said I’m sure that’s what he actually wanted

You invented a scenario where a left wing grifter did this and people didn’t have an issue with it. None of that happened and I’d have just as much as an issue if it did as would everyone else you’re accusing of not meaning their beliefs about no politics in football.

The politics thread usually gets extra spicy between the football seasons. I suppose this is like a bite size version of that.
