🍾🍷☀️

Used to lecture at Grimsby. Among my students was a Herring and a Codling and one of the staff members was called Haddock. I shih tzu not.

Wassa is in Cleethorpes today apparently. It has given rain all day. Not many more depressing places than Cleethorpes in the rain. Decided against going when I saw the forecast.

Thought it would a cheap near away day for you Spart?

It is view, and had it been decent weather I might have ventured along the M180 to Cleethorpes. Still might go if it is pay at the gate.

Until we recruit a decent box to box midfielder I don't see a great deal of entertainment in Rowett's team. Hard work and running only gets you so far.

Jonny Foreigner is threatening to continue fishing our waters 'for the fish that aren't there' and so I look forward to tommo and his boys torpedoing them into history come 2019

As for the match; meh. On the one hand it could be an opportunity to play some of the 57 fringe players that we have accumulated through numerous windows of stupidity, on the other we could continue trying to foster some understandings in the first elevenish that were patently missing in Friday's display.

The very definition of a fairweather fan, btw!

"Decided against going when I saw the forecast."

Perhaps consider wearing non-white trousers that don't become transparent when wet, Spurt; it must be quite the concern for a man of your advanced years regardless of the forecast.

Is there anyone who believes we were ever going to "get our country back" as a Brexit result? Likewise the £340m a week extra going into the NHS.

Answer to that question is - well 52% of voters did. And they were wrong.

As for the game, as 666 rightly says, it's a chance to get some match fitness and some partnerships developing on the field. Let's hope for a positive in that direction.

They tend to a dull grey when wet, not transparent 666. They are white denim. M & S, so well made in Banglaldesh. I have no concern about exposing my maginificent body to the scrutiny of the masses.

Basically, Rowett's team doesn't get the juices flowing enough for me to want to see them in the first round of a tin pot cup at a dump of a ground. Will be at Bramhall Lane though for the next real away game.

"These are not just white opaque trousers, these are M&S white opaque trousers"

<sultry voice mode off>

I really wish I hadn't conjured that image in my own head but at least I can find some solace in planting it in the head of others too; caring is sharing.

No sense trekking in the rain of an evening for what is likely to be a pre-season kickabout in all but name; there's nothing about this game that entices me at all save for having to predict the outcome on Peeder's faux 'competition' later, once the team is announced.

3R:-
52% of people who voted but only 37% of the those eligible to vote in favour.

Hardly a mandate

...which equates to 34% opting to stay in; hardly a mandate either, Commie.

If you say assume that all those who did not vote must have been happy with how things were at the moment then there was a clear majority for remain.

The result was only advisory. Afterall why would you leave the most important economic desision in decades to people who barely understand their tax codes, even if they pay tax?

Basically it was just Cameron playing politics and it backfired, just like Theresa's snap election.

"window of stupidity"

Didn't Farage go hysterical his demand for a re-ballot if there was a narrow vote in favour of remaining, Boer?

Talking of stupidity, want a laugh? Have a look at the Forest Green Rovers message board. Anyone who wasn't certain that RFB was an idiot can cast away their doubts.

Farage may well have petitioned for a second referendum had the result been close, and if people have voted in ignorance that is because the political parties sought to beat, terrorise, and force the people to vote Remain rather than inform which would have allowed for educated decision making.

We may not be like those Frenchies who'll pop down to the ports and set fire to truckloads of cattle to make a point, but the British people don't like being browbeaten. The campaign to scare people had the opposite effect entirely from that which was intended and indeed engendered a 'Bring it on' response from the people who aren't hemp-wearing Londoners or Marxist-sympathiser teachers. It was a rebuttal to the previously-inexorable rise of the globalists, a demand that the constantly-belittled Britishness be accepted as our birthright rather than the incessant push toward homogeneous blandness, a refusal to allow every other sect or creed or culture to trump our own, and that ours was something to be ashamed of.

I'm not a racist; I don't care where the carwashers come from as long as the job gets done right but I won't be told that I must change to avoid offending people tha have chosen to come here to my home. Don't like me and mine..? Don't come here then!

Sheffield United allocation of 2400 now sold out!

....the gold-plated Bolton Wanderers fixture, however, still has capacity.

The Brexit camp were the only party to use project fear but in true 1984 style they and the rightwing press put the label on the remain camp. Wasn't it the Brexit camp who had photographs of long queues of dark skinned people on their bill board ads. Wasn't it the Brexit camp who claimed Turkey would be a member of the EU (something supported by Boris) and thus let in millions of darker skinned peoiple. Like all members of the right, Nigel Farage and 666 believe in the Goebbels doctrine of repeating a big enough lie.

Name one thing that the Brexit camp claimed which was true.

I see you resorted to the patriot argument. As Dr Johnson said, "Patriotism, last refuge of the scoundrel".

Why does everybody think they know what motivated people to vote one way or the other. I don’t remember ever being asked Why I voted the way I did and yet the Brexiteers are painted as Racist Old people and the remainers as un patriotic vegetarians.

I only advocated the fisheries policy because a right wing Brexitier friend of mine when challenged about what good would come of Brexit earnestly explained how wonderful it would be to get fishing rights back

Sorry, it was all a Tory party squabble which got out of hand and sorry to report became a vote on the xenophobic tendencies of many people 👍

2nd bid gone in for Lawrence today, don't know how much its increased by

His name was Ledley
He was a midfielder

He couldn't quite merengue
Like Abdoul Camara

But it didn't matter
Cos he could pho king tackle

In the transfer
the transfer market
The hottest show North of too-late-we-can't-afford-it.

When's his contract finish? We should try sign him up on a Bosman before we sack that rule off along with all that nonsense about cucumbers, bananas, and the metric system.

We should bring quotas back in for these foreigners as well; all these bloody Albentosas and that, coming over here, not wearing our boots
