For me it's got to be when we score. Especially an important goal, like against Blackburn for example. It's a strange feeling when you think about it. Its almost orgasmic. You kind of lose yourself for a few moments as a primeval surge of energy races through your body. It's utter joy mixed with rel...

I see people clamouring for a prison sentence here. I mean what they have done is low and scummy but does it really warrant a custodial sentence? I mean their reputation is in the toilet, they have lost their jobs and will be virtually unemployable at least in the near future all three their depriv...

Great footage. I was unaware the Turf had held FA Cup semis. I wonder if the Longside was terraced, or was it a cinder bank?

This is terrorism. Its an attack on an ancient landmark and our rural heritage.

I used to be a groundworker for a professional tree surgeon. A tree that size you'd really need to know what your doing. It's very physically demanding and you'd need a large chainsaw to cut this one. No way has this been done by kids messing around. Unless the culprit is already proficient in tree ...

I've been there so many times, including all those morning kick offs in the 1980s. What a bloody shame this is and shows just how vulnerable every football club is when it gets into wrong hands. We've seen so many examples over the years with some of those clubs never recovering. I've seen some hor...

groove

It's reminiscent of the digi-electonic scoreboards of the 80's, when match disorder was at its Zenith. There's no need for these now. People know you're not meant to enter the playing area. I'd rather they just showed the line-ups. It's all adverts, highlights and behavioural control.

groove

There's too much choice now. Once it gets saturated the product seems to get diluted. At one time all we has was Football focus, Sain and Greavsie and MOTD, which only showed a couple of games. Its the same with music. Football focus will just be a nostalgic memory, like Top of the Pops.

The defender stitched Foster up. That little nudge to the chest wouldn't have knocked my granny over. 3 contentious VAR decisions last night, and they all went against us.

I’m struggling to find the word ‘accept’ in your quote.

I think you're being pedantic. If somebody is allowed to express something without judgement, it implies that it has to be accepted.

Who “controls” the media?

(btw - putting “I’m by no means a conspiracy theorist” in the middle of your post doesn’t make you sound like any less of a conspiracy theorist)

The corporations control the media. Look into Davos, the WEF, the WHO. Blackrock and Vanguard. Follow the money.

Sorry, I've quoted mine and Fretters post together. The lower paragraph is my reply to Fretters.

Exactly this. Everything gets out. At least one of those 1000's of people would go to the papers, either through a guilty conscience or the chance to earn a fortune in the media.

Anyone running on the pitch and assaulting a player or official deserves a short prison term imo . Serves a harsh lesson and let’s others know you just don’t assault officials .

You shouldn't assault anybody. What makes officials different from the general public? Are they a protected group?

Is it also clearly stated to be illegal to enter the street, a pub, a gig or wherever?

It can be. It's called Trespassing. Still wouldn't cross the custodial sentencing threshold though......

groove

You've got to weigh up the sentence without being enraged that it happened at a sacred football ground. Offences are treated more harshly if they're at a football ground. If this happened on the street, in a pub, at a gig, wherever. It's dealt with by a community sentence, fine etc. So yes, it is ov...

When we're winning away and the home end starts emptying, it's a wonderful sight. When the 4th goal went in at Sunderland last season, it seemed the whole ground started leaving. Supporters pay their money and are entitled to vote with their feet.

It's quite sad how pubs have disappeared. They were a big part of our culture and even if you didn't go in them they were a part of the landscape. They were landmarks and even influenced the informal names of areas. If someone asked where you lived you'd say "near the Red Lion". My nana was born and...

Seriously?? Yes, seriously. I could never be offended by a stupid chant at a football match. I know it doesn't really mean anything. I know its not personal. The people chanting know this.

If I'd had a relative died at Hillsborough, and heard such chanting, I actually wouldn't be offended. It wouldn't open up old wounds and take me back to that awful day. Because I know that humanity in the main is empathic. Those same people who sing such chants would probably remove their caps if a ...

I would have thought the cringeworthy song we sing about Rovers is more offensive. Implying the males are all illegitimate?

Email the club, we'll get it banned.

By being told what to sing/what not to sing, you are being told what to think.

What happens to fans who do continue to sing it? Ejected? Banned? Bank account frozen? That's where we are heading, drip by drip. The weaponisation of football continues unabated.

Yes, plus man didn't go to the moon, Princess Diana was murdered, 9/11 was an inside job and climate change is a hoax.

Just checking here, how is football being "weaponised by the virtue gods" because it wants to ban homophobic chants? Not just that in particular.

I've got mixed feelings about this. I don't take part in any such chants, I find them immature and distasteful. But I don't feel offended by them either.
