Anyone remember the Don Welbourne/Graham Rathbone incident?

Didn’t that result in a ban that was unusual at the time?

The FA had decided, in their wisdom, to clamp down on violent play. They decided to make an example of two fourth division players and give them what was then a record suspension.
No first division players were given anything like that kind of discipline even though they were the main culprits.
The incident was nothing more than handbags.

Nobody wants to come.

I seem to remember Mick Buxton using that excuse.
I thought it was maybe because of his lack of popularity.

If I had my way I’d have stopped the Saxons, Angles, Danes, Jutes, Normans, Vikings and Romans. That would leave us true Britons (Celts) to run these islands.
Can we get back to footy.

Give me a example of ANY year where common cold deaths are anywhere close to Covid levels. Selfish attitude IMO, thankful that we’ll never meet. Open your eyes to what’s happening in the real world rather than just your house.

Im on about the new moronic variant.
And if you confuse death figures by including first off those who died WITH covid alongside those who died OF covid, then confuse things further by insisting that anyone who dies of anything including road traffic accidents, within 28 days of a positive test, be recorded as a covid death, what do you expect from the more intelligent of us except scepticism?

Open YOUR eyes.

And your comment about never meeting? Is that a threat?

You forgot to give any year where common cold deaths exceeded Covid.
How can “thankful we’ll never meet” be regarded as a threat? To me you’re a Covid risk, I have no desire to be near you. Is ignoring factual evidence a sign of intelligence then? That’s an interesting stance.

No worries about being near him, he doesn’t bother to support the lads, in fact I can’t understand why he bothers to contribute on this site.

In a slightly different direction, check out the match report in the Telegraph, then check the match report on BBC sport.
Copy and paste, definitely a copyright issue there.

Well done to the Hungarians for booing the Marxist knee taking for BLM yesterday! Unlike our lily livered libtards who celebrate such submission!

They were top class and loud throughout! Something for their country to be proud of! Shows what happens when you live in a country which allows patriotism and doesn’t allow libtards to hate on their nation! I wish England fans would follow suit!

What’s all this got to do with football? The simple fact of the matter is that Hungary were stuffed four nowt, could’ve/should’ve been eight. Hungary collapsed after the first goal and the “patriotic” fans kicked off, the same has happened in the past with England. The players are embarrassed to be representing idiots.
It’s the football that counts, and fair play. We are better than this stupidity.

I have heard they hope to be bringing over 700 fans with them. Good effort if they do. UTWI

Remember when we played Portsmouth in 2014? We stuffed them 5-1, they were in a real mess as a club with their ownership yet their supporters turned out in numbers.
I met a few before the match, in the Berkeley ( ah, the Berkeley before a match, no longer, thank you Humphrey you little squirt) they were going to support their club through thick or thin, and then for them it was pretty thin, they knew they had a weak team but stood by them Good supporters, eventually the club was turned around.

Not sure about France but I believe we didn’t concede until the semifinal, a bit like this year.

Beat France two nowt as well, Roger HUnt got one, can’t remember who got the other.
Jimmy Greaves got a game.

[Iron Age]

And the barest minimum of time added on, great game, and well played ref. (Thought he’d get the final.)

Good win tonight, Rome next against the yellow and blues, both are awkward teams especially the Swedes.

[Iron Age]

After an initial flourish England dropped back to kind, I still can’t see them progressing much further, lack of confidence or too many out of form.

[Iron Age]

Easily the best game I’ve seen was Holland Vs Ukraine. Both teams were impressive.
I’m afraid England are a bit clueless in the final third, they just seem to come to a full stop.
Things can change, remember 1966.

If those players are going to be taking the knee for the Euros in subservience to a Marxist cult I will not be watching and hoping they lose! Now we have Gareth Southgate the woke come to their support in such a degrading act! An absolute disgrace!

It’s time these pampered prima donnas were reminded that they play for the people of this country, not for their own libtard agendas!

Meaning of libtard in English

libtard
noun [ C ] US informal offensive
UK /ˈlɪb.tɑːd/ US /ˈlɪb.tɑːrd/
used by extreme right-wing people to refer to someone who believes in personal freedom and that money, property, and power should be shared fairly. Libtard is a combination of “liberal” and “retard”

So there we are, cards set firmly on the table.

First time I’ve not bought one in 16 years, not convinced by the Prawn or by this Government’s time frame for letting all fans back in to watch matches. One game at a time for me, it’s my first season at the cheaper 65 rate so I’m not too fussed about paying for games when it suits me, it’s still cheaper then the £360 I’ve been paying for years. Honestly think we will get poor support next season, it’s a culmination of everything from pandemic to poorly run football club by a man who only cares about his own opinion and his business intrests. Our club is slowly fading away.

But not nearly as cheap as the £190 I paid for mine. (One of the few benefits of being aged.)

I bought mine, this is my club and I’ll be going regardless of who’s in the dugout, who’s in the boardroom and who’s on the pitch. The swings and roundabouts of supporting a lower league team. You endure the bad moments which makes the highs so much better.

Keep the faith UTI.

Bought mine too, they are my home town team so I will continue to support them through thick and thin (quite a lot of thin at the moment.)

What is impressive is the way the other teams under threat, including Grimsby, are fighting for their lives.
The same cannot be said about us.

As far as letting the young lads have a chance, I just remember a night when the young lads were given a chance because of poor performances from the regulars many years ago, and getting stuffed 7-1.
I still have nightmares, our one goal came from the only regular.

Had to laugh at this though.

The only objection received complained that the aim should be to attract up-market restaurant chains like Nandos and Pizza Express rather than create additional shopping space

Aiming high.
