  1. I shan’t ‘argue’ with you any more. Perhaps by extension you believe the US connived in the 9/11 attacks. To be honest I find your post disturbing and it’s disappointing the mods didn’t pull it
  2. The elephant in the room is Trump. The US has given Israel unstinting support for 40 years which has contributed to this mess. Biden and Blinken are now making clear their view that Israel needs to find a political settlement with the Palestinians. Unfortunately, when the dust settles on all the bodies, Israel will calculate that if they drag their feet long enough, Trump will become president and all pressure on them to seek a long term peace will dissipate. That could lead to WW3
  3. No no no. He has the microphone. If he uses it to belittle players there are some who will not forgive him.
  4. There’s a very big difference between - Netanyahu tolerating hamas because it suits his purposes - Netanyahu conspiring in a scheme that results in the death of 1,400 Israelis and 150 being held hostage. The first is perfectly believable. The second is not, it doesn’t begin to hold water but it is the sort of thing that is meat and drink to conspiracy theorists
  5. My own opinion of Warne’s man management isn’t just plucked out of the air. I started posting in late ‘22 that the way he speaks about his players in interviews was a recipe for an unhappy dressing room. There was a specific comment about McGoldrick - relating to an injury (I’m guessing, but maybe around Nov 22) where Warne tried to be funny whilst taking a dig at Didzy. It was careless., misjudged and disrespectful. Warne has so far as I can see stopped doing this now - last time I can remember him at it was when he was speaking about Bird’s transfer. It’s the sort of thing he could perhaps get away with at Rotherham but many ‘bigger’ players won’t put up with it. Even before Didzy left, I would have assumed his and Warne’s relationship was frosty. Then Didzy left, having had his best season ever and with the weekly adulation of 26,000 people ringing in his ears. The timing of that move didn’t stack up for me (for football or financial reasons) tho I accept there’s plenty to debate in that. I think that if he’d enjoyed playing for Warne he would have stayed. I don’t mind people questioning the opinion in that last sentence but it’s not plucked out of thin air.
  6. The Economist has said that Netenyahu has for years tolerated Hamas because it allows him to refuse peace talks. That’s credible enough and has come from several sources. But your suggestion that there was a cunning plan to allow Hamas to inflict such horror on 7/10 is not credible. Not least because that would have required senior IDF officers to have participated in the conspiracy. No way
  7. Didzy’s got class that’s all it’s telling you
  8. Yes you’re right of course. But he would have understood that to skulk away and in particular to have criticised Warne would have damaged the club. And he’d had too good a season - and imo he’s too decent a guy - to want to stick the boot in.
  9. I’d say Warne’s careless way of speaking to the media about his players is likely to be part of the reason. Including about McGoldrick.
  10. Religion. Or real estate (that’s what this one is ultimately about) . Or oil. Or communist/capitalist ideology. Or some guy being assassinated. Or something else. But yes often religion
  11. One of the lines is not straight it has a little kink in it where the Arabist from the foreign office got his finger in the way of the pencil.
  12. There’s a goal scoring machine at notts county who might disagree
  13. It’s not enough to look decent against the weaker sides in the league. It’s about results against the stronger sides. if we don’t get those, the gap just gets wider.
  14. I don’t want Ashley or a man like Ashley. My point was that a very wealthy owner ( even one like Ashley) will take us further than that nice man Mr Clowes
  15. I have nothing bad to say about DC but of the two of them I think Ashley is the one who would take us up the furthest (and maybe down the furthest on the way). If we don’t acquire a seriously wealthy owner there’s a fair chance we’ll languish in this miserable division for many a long season.
  16. DC has family money on the line. It’ll be awkward just now at birthdays, weddings and christenings. But if he chucks a load of cash at Warne’s severance package then hires another failing manager, things will be a lot worse
  17. Entitlement ? I think you mean expectation Off the scale ? In the lower leagues the club’s gate defines its spending power. Our gate dwarfs most in this league - as does the value of our squad - and we are showing little sign of challenging for promotion. and yet you think fans should be content ?
  18. He’s a better manager in rotherham town than in the city of derby. Their recent form is an opportunity for DC to save some severance pay
  19. We’re in a crap league. If we’re allowing the opposition to earn credit we’re crap
  20. There is a lot of negativity about the manager. There is no negativity I’ve seen about the squad as a whole, in fact most people recognise that for this division we have a strong squad.
