Hang on - looks like a fake account to me - we all know the correct spelling and it sure isn’t “flags” and “balloons”

I’m not sure. Nelson a fairly quiet individual that seems to thrive on having a pretty low profile. His rise to becoming possibly our best player has been under the radar. I’d worry that such a role might affect his game. Anyone know if he’s been captain at previous clubs?

I think you'll need a meat pie and a bottle of coke (full fat variety) to complete the look, Claire 😉

Cross after cross after cross straight into the goalkeeper’s arms.  Embarrassing.

Like so many casual users of this forum, I always looked out for B4’s posts.  Apologies if it’s been said already, but my favourite was his regular call for us to bring “scraves and flanges”.  I hope that’s part of the plan for the Bristol game.  

NML seems to be fitting that bill currently, looked done a month back, absolute beast now. 

... and they'll all be waving their scavers and flanges.

My original post expressed an opinion. You came back with a sarcy reposte. I explained.

An Israeli lawyer. I'm good mate. Honestly. 
I could post UN resolutions and votes. Their appeals to ICJ. The ruling on Israel's wall by the ICJ and the objections by Israel's allies. Israel has failed to show to hearings and has ratified but not signed certain agreements. The Rome Statute for example was no longer supported by USA, Russia and Israel. 
This is all besides the general human decency you shouldn't be looking for loopholes in to take land that belongs to other people. Innocent people living off that land. Not Hamas. Not Israel. Just people. 
But we are going around in circles here. I don't want to argue with someone with such extreme views.
My view isn't extreme. I don't deny Israel's existence. I don't deny it's right to defend itself. I don't deny it exists in a hostile part of the world. I don't deny it's the most democratic nation. 
I just despise the condition it forces on Palestinians. Not Hamas, but Palestinians. 

So you'd rather we concern ourselves with the potential for a punch up at a protest than the slaughter of innocent Palestinian men, women and children? 

That's one you could start. But right now I think a lot people believe that what's happening in Gaza is a war crime and the work of an Apartheid Zionist regime carrying out Ethnic cleansing. 
There's thousands of people in the dark trying to pick people out of rubble. People with injuries that can't be treated. People that have no food, water and are unable to flee. People that are critically ill. 
I think widespread calls for a ceasefire are a good thing. Even if idiots that don't know what they're talking about are jumping on a trend, I would say that it's still pretty ok to be against the indiscriminate bombing of a fenced in area the size of Glasgow where the average age is 18. 
I hope the protests continue to be carried out peacefully (I know we've had some exceptions but on the whole hundreds of thousands including Jews have marched peacefully) 
The fact the protests are now more of a talking point than what's going on in Gaza and the very rarely mentioned West Bank (where 180 people have also been killed) is pretty sad. 

Yeah, I can't argue that history isn't filled with example of groups of people being appalling to one another.  And of course violence breeds violence. It's hard to think of the barbaric attack by Hamas on Oct.7 without thinking of the line in an Auden poem which read;
'Those to whom evil is done, do evil in return.'
The decades long unjust treatment of the Palestinian people, creates Hamas, and their violence brings about further violence from the Israelis. The current relentless bombing of Gaza will result in more violence in return, and the cycle will continue on and on with no end in sight. 

Well maybe I’m going to be shouted down for this, but I didn’t think we were terrible. We’re tidy playing through to the edge of the box, but then either hit a powder puff shot or push it out wide for a cross, which is inevitably high and long. 
Two silly goals conceded, with Forsyth falling asleep for the first and Wildsmith not strong enough for the second. 

I'm going to go against the grain here and suggest it's our final cross which has been our downfall here. The overall football hasn't been too bad imo. 
Also, the ref has been excellent and has let the game flow as well as any ref I've seen all season.

This, the idea that Clowes it's the sort of person who would allow leaks about people's livelihoods is a bit daft.

Thanks for spending hours on this. Its more entertaining than the matches. BUT when you look at the scores and well over half of the participants have zero points we are as bad at predicting as the team we support are at entertaining.

“I’d rather go for it and lose by 2 or 3!”.
Mission accomplished Paulo!

Ooh look. Connor fouled and carded!
