  1. Just watching the start of George Floyd trial and it has me thinking of the documentary: LA 92. Really good film. Covers the riots after the Rodney King incident. Used to be on Netflix for free, but seems to just be to rent for £3.50 on Amazon or Sky now. Anyway, if this Court case doesn't have a satisfactory outcome I fear we could see way worse than 1992.
  2. Over in the far east? What were crowds/atmosphere like? Did it feel different to a British match day? Do they sing songs about the ref? 😀
  3. Europa... but even Jose's midas touch can't overcome being Spursey. I think it must be an incurable disease.
  4. Wonder if TM still thinks we'll win 5 on the bounce. 🤔
  5. 2 teams trying to out shit each other.
  6. Nice to hear the team have been wearing T shirts supporting Dack. This squad do seem to have great team spirit off the pitch. Just doesn't translate on match day unfortunately.
  7. With his size, he should be doing stuff like this: But it tends to be the other way round, like the foul on the halfway line.

    Sorry if you feel I've misrepresented you, not my intention, just found that last line a bit odd. In terms of your preceding sentence, who the hell knows who clicks on them. I never had and never will. But someone out there must. Companies wouldn't be chucking money at it if it doesn't produce some results. 🤷‍♂️ I also wonder why I still get emails from African princes with financial transfer issues. I rack my brain pondering who out there walking the planet at the moment thinks - "Hey, I bet this could be a good opportunity!" But they must be out there. People aren't wasting their time still sending them just for lols.

    As opposed to what? Those massive ad fans out there. Desperately searching for ad heavy sites to satisfy their craving. C'mon Stuart, you're beginning to sound like it's your first time on the internet. There's barely a corner left that isn't tainted by capitalism in some form. Pretty much every site has ads on them of varying degrees, even if it's just advertising itself. A friend of mine told me some sites bombard people with tons of adverts just to watch like a 5 min video clip. They're pretty easy to bypass though.........my friend's told me. If they bug you and detract from use of the site, that's fair enough, you're entitled to feel that way. Let's not pretend something new and outlandish has happened though. It's all fairly standard stuff.

    Yeah, fair enough, very different sites, I get that. Was just pointing out that from experience, these specific ads blend into the background quicker than you might think. That was all. That's my personal experience though, doesn't mean others won't feel different and find them annoying.

    Site adverts

    Indeed. I've just worked out I hadn't even noticed them because I was so conditioned to instantly closing them on another site. Forebet = great football stat site with h2h info, form guide etc that I definitely don't use to aid and abet a gambling habit. 🤔 Anyway, if you're researching fixtures daily those ads must be par for the course, because I appear to deal with them like my eyelids deal with moisturising my eyeballs. I kid you not. It's actually caused me to reevaluate a few things tonight. 😊😊

    I'm not getting any change on mobile (samsung galaxy). Didn't yesterday on my work PC either. What am I missing? 🤔 Is it because I stay logged in so I'm not clicking on a new link.
  13. Speaking of the last 6 games though, I see we're now rock bottom of the form table: https://www.thefishy.net/formtable.php?table=2 Even if you go by the last 10 games we're in the bottom 3. It truly is the direst of dire death spiral, and that takes some doing with what's gone before. I genuinely can't see how any Rovers fan, however positive they are generally, can not be reaching for the panic button. Even worse, some of them are incredulous that it's being touted. Mystifying. There's showing loyalty and giving managers a chance, I get that, but that ship sailed a long time ago. Tony should have been on it.
  14. Can understand that too. And with each week/match that goes by, goodwill evaporates, and the ones willing to give him credit dwindle. That's why it's best for everyone it ends soon. Before we all end up in the disgusted camp. We're exactly where I hoped we'd never get to. And I'm not meaning league position.
  15. That old phrase - when people are angry they say things they don't really mean. I can understand that. Another phrase - desperate people do desperate things. I can understand that too. That's how I'll explain TM's embarrassing ramblings these last 6 months. And when he goes soon I'll try and remember him for the 3.5 years before that where he did an ok job. And give him credit and respect for that.
  16. 😲😲 I genuinely thought it was a bit of light satire.
  17. When that happens can't wait to have it sold to me as a "positive".
  18. Downings height above the crossbar? 🤔
  19. Very noble attitude to have, well done you for respecting other opinions and not tearing down. Just one thing though.....in the last week alone you've put your stamp of approval on tweets calling fellow fans "absolutely pathetic" and "petulant children". Just wondering where that falls in your spectrum of Zen enlightenment? 🤔 Let me guess, it's just the folk with an opposing opinion to you that are acting like big meanies?
  20. Yeah, I'm doing a complete u turn now. 1st way worse. If, by the letter of law, the 2nd isn't a knock on then fair enough. It's BS, but laws are laws. The 1st is a disgrace. Ref should be embarrassed.
