FindernRam got a reaction from Grimbeard in England Nations League Squad
Last night was a clear demo of why PL clubs are stuffed with foreign players and foreign managers.
That lot would struggle as a team in the Championship.

FindernRam reacted to Ellafella in Paul Warne appointed as Head Coach
Not really. I think there was always a plan and the various parts of the plan have happened:
1. Appoint LR as interim manager.
2. Set a review date.
3. Hold a Board meeting on the review date.
4. At the review, list the +ve progress and weigh up the -ve
5. Come to a Board decision. ie Appoint LR permanently or decide on alternative.
The 1st international break is an obvious review date. Hence it’s happened.
What is encouraging is the Club has followed a logical and planned sequence and used evidence to form a judgement. Sounds like mature stewardship to me; and I agree with it. The Away form is key but also home game victories have not once been convincing really.
LR gets to stay as a Coach. I hope he does. He’ll benefit and learn from a chap who has greater experience of what it takes.
Why speculate that something sinister {implied} was behind it? ?♂️

FindernRam reacted to Ambitious in Rosenior or Warne?
It’s not an easy question, because I have so much respect for Liam Rosenior and would’ve been happy to see him take on the job for the next 18 months.
However, if it was my money on the table and promotion was required this season to stem further bleeding then I would absolutely go with Warne.
Emotional choice would be Rosenior, business choice would be Warne.

FindernRam got a reaction from Lac291884 in Freedom of Speech
I think you need to turn this on its head. The problem with freedom of speech is more the reaction of the listener.
There appears to be an assumption that every person has a right not to be offended by anything at anytime. As being offended is not an offense in law, there is no such right!
"resentful or annoyed, typically as a result of a perceived insult" is the dictionary definition. Well, loads of things annoy me and I can perceive lots of things as insults if I choose to do so.
I imagine most of us have extreme dislikes of one sort or another, but in general you let it go. However that's from a perspective of advanced age. Youngsters have no such perspective and an impatience that borders on fanatical. Peer group pressure also plays its part.
When I was a student, the union was always calling for strikes over some issue or other. In those days fortunately nobody took a blind bit of notice. "Just students with too much time on their hands. They'll soon stop when they get a job!"
Nowadays, lily-livered companies bow down at the slightest hint of protest. They need to get a spine (being gender neutral!) and face it down.

I never click on ad links just in case!
Personalised ones are even worse. Search for something (probably buy it) and for weeks its flooding my computer and my phone with the darn things.

FindernRam got a reaction from GB SPORTS in Things that annoy me that should annoy me
Sky now having a "player of the match" instead of "man of the match". I'm fed up with this wokery everywhere you look in the media. Even Carragher said man then immediately corrected himself. No mate! You were right first time! Its a mans game. The girls play a different game in a different league. If they want a Girl of the Game fair enough.

FindernRam got a reaction from Ewe Ram in Time wasting in football
If the game goes on you will see just how real some of these injuries are! Buy a foul, roll around faking injury. Then after the guys' been booked, race off like Usain Bolt.

No mate. Girlfriends for dates... Leave the wife at home. You can always bring some flowers home from the garage next morning.

FindernRam got a reaction from Tamworthram in Two tier world
I don't have a problem with Companies making a profit--my pension depends on it! But there must be some measure of control; whether that to ensure standards (water cos), excessive profiteering, (Oil cos), level of investment. The various OfXXX seem totally incompetent and certainly biased away from the consumer.
Incidentally most of your pensions depend on it as well.

We had most of the house done by Toons near Swad. They were excellent and pretty quick.

FindernRam got a reaction from Boycie in Away Coach Travel
Looking recently; nothing to do with footy.
Quotes are all over the place but assuming a reasonable quality coach and reliable firm for a 56 seater you are looking at £60/hour plus £3 per mile.
You do the maths! But an estimate for a London trip is about a grand, reasonable only if you fill it!
Would you risk organising it?

FindernRam got a reaction from RadioactiveWaste in Kirchner- A risk or a potential reward
Prudent is not the same as austere necessarily. Our income limits will be way ahead of most L1 teams and the rules allow us a bit of freedom. But I'm all for prudent.
Our recent years transfers in were a bit excessive but we did seem to be forever playing people out of their normal positions Had we not done this they may have done a lot better for us.
