GB SPORTS

Can’t believe I’ve just been sacked from my job at the calendar factory all I did was take a day off

So we've officially written off a player who has barely played, and hasn't been at full fitness when he has?
Right. Someone make that make sense to me please?

Unless the club almost goes under again we'll never have that again. We need to accept that.
Sometimes to foster a siege mentality you need to actually be under siege.
We are now in a league in which we should be acting like the biggest club around, because we are the biggest club around. We need to foster a ruthless "we're here to batter whoever is in front of us" mentality instead.
We should fear nobody in this division.

I'm so angry I could throw the phone down

What a loss. I loved that guy growing up. 
Get the geese off. 
RIP. 

Not as many as the poxy excuse for a linesman gave 

Think I’ve said it before but if it was called something like “chance quality” instead of expected goals then you’d have a lot less people poo-pooing it for whatever reason they do.
It’s not the be all and end all but can add context if you want it to. Does make me laugh when people will say it’s meaningless and then happily sit there quoting shots or shots on target.

Must have come up a notch from when I frequented it as a young Marine recruit in the 90's. Very much a house of ill-repute.......and many an ironing board propped against the wall. If you know.......

Fantastic Mr.

Looking at the game today I've basically come to the conclusion that despite my happy clapping we really aren't very good. The division is poor and in it we are better than most. The football however is boring and littered with poor control and poor passing. It's as much to do with the players as it is the manager. Oh well, we are where we are. 

Daniel Ayala

My dad's gone the same way.
I'd never really heard him express any strong political opinions until recently, now he's banging on about immigration, scroungers and such like.  
It like he's forgotten he's married to an immigrant, in fact he married the same one twice ffs!
 

oh sorry 😣 

Mary had a little lamb
it pished against a pylon
10,000 volts shot up its arse
and turned its wool to nylon.

You could argue that so are the rest of us. Every one of us on here has been born into relative privilege, compared with the vast majority of people in the world.

Helluva bukkake party at the bottom.
 

Take your point....
But the NHS is under strain not because of King Charles getting cancer....but the deluge of 'mental health' issues, parents wanting diagnosis instead of looking towards their own parenting first, people wanting compensation for car accidents,  millions of missed appointments,  the obesity crisis etc etc

There’s a small army at the NHS looking out records for patient claims. It’s a wonder any clinician dare begin to treat anyone for fear of being sued 

When he was on his uppers, Elvis Costello once swapped a tyre for a box of chocolates. That was a Goodyear for the Roses.

Nope, you've got me there!

Saying that, I know, but I don't know why this topic has descended into an NHS topic.
Royalist or not, surely we can all understand why the King of the country would receive priority health care unlike our own friends and family?
Having lost my sister in law recently to cancer, just 42 years old, I am not sat here without experience of watching someone die having been through the NHS system, months of appointments, misdiagnosis before they realised it was cancer and then left cancer cells in her kidney which spread to the rest of her body.
She wasn't royalty, she wasn't the Queen of the country, her death whilst making front page news of the local paper, was not a national story. She was just a regular person that unfortunately due to mistakes lost her life, as many have and will continue to do so.
King Charles, for the record I am no royalist, never watched a wedding, ceremony, couldn't even tell you the full words to the national anthem. He's the King, it's blindly obvious why his health would take priority, avoiding the regular process which all starts being on hold at 8am trying to get a doctors appointment.
He's the King, figurehead of the country. He's probably never had to load a dishwasher, wash his own clothes or hoover his own living room.
Do I believe anyone should be born into that position, no, but the hierarchy in this country exists and it is what it is.
The state of the NHS is another topic in itself, which in fairness due to our political rules on this forum probably can't take place as we ultimately know why all the difficulties exist and with a growing population, will only get worse.
The King of the country has got cancer though, that's the big story here. 
I wish him well and catching it early means the treatment will work. 

100% agree.

When some on the left were up in arms because Trump got preferential treatment when he got covid, I was like wtf, he's the President?

Whereas my heart says everybody should be treated equally, my brain says that the sheer fact that he signs off on laws in our country and is head of State means we really should throw as many resources at it as possible.

And I'm not at all in favour of a monarchy, but we have to be sensible.

I actually quite like Charles and hope he makes a speedy recovery. 

The trouble with the NHS is that it is now expected to be everything to everyone. I really believe that there are lots of things that, if you want them, you pay for them. You keep taking more out than goes in and you get what you now have - impossible situation. And I work in the NHS.
