It seems Marinakis wants Russia to the war as well. Hmm.

05 Sep 2025 13:42:59
Redrobinhood, mate you and I haven't always seen eye to eye on here, but it's nice to see a bit of patriotism and fight on here for a change instead of all the running down of this country, putin wouldn't fancy an argument with a fully mobilised uk on a war footing, he's been 3 years trying to defeat a military 10 times ( at least) smaller than his is his own backyard, don't listen to all the whining of people moaning and crying about a bloke we can't unelect, I'd find some way of helping if the s**t hit the fan. 40 years ago I'd have been in the thick of it, i applaud you mate for saying you'd stand up and be counted, most of the big talkers would let anyone s**t on this country and do nothing, apart from trying to talk them to death of course,

05 Sep 2025 15:01:48
Well that's one labour crook resigned or should I say pushed ?.

05 Sep 2025 16:24:38
Thanks Stevie, makes me so mad reading the opinions of some here. This is GREAT Britain mate.
This country was built on the backs of our Grandparents and parents sacrifices and their mothers and fathers before them.
Everyone should be proud of our past accomplishments and sacrifices. What made us great once can be revived if necessary and if Putin wants to poke a lion with a stick, well good luck to him with that. ???.

05 Sep 2025 16:30:35
DTP ironic the minister for housing gets found having not payed enough tax on her 800k seaside town house?.

05 Sep 2025 16:54:12
Jumped before she was pushed.

05 Sep 2025 17:54:57
Red Robinhood, trouble is mate too many traitors, but I believe the silent majority is waking up to what these traitors are doing to our country, I think things will work themselves out eventually, it’s not going to be easy, but we’ll see, I got respect for what you said, i despair on here sometimes. ?.

05 Sep 2025 17:58:29
Some people can't accept we are not the force we once were. The place we once held in the world is not the reality of today. As it stands, in a global conflict the two superpowers will be fighting against us not with us. TACO and Xi will be on the side of Putin. Not on ours.

05 Sep 2025 18:23:15
Silkman, or whatever your name is, how old are you 5? Keep referring to Trump as TACO, ? If you think the USA would fight alongside China you are crazy, where did I say we are the power we once were, ? I’m pointing out the fact that putin can’t defeat a basically poor economic country, with whom he shares land border in 3 years, I speak to Russian and Ukrainian friends still living in those countries now, the Russian people trust the Chinese about as much as they trust us and the Americans, I’m not going to prolong this conversation with someone who seems to dislike this. country as much as you do, it’s pointless,

05 Sep 2025 18:28:59
What a load of bull silkman
The American people wouldn't stand for it for starters
Do no what planet your on, never mind the country you live in
Russia and America will never be allies.

05 Sep 2025 19:08:39
And stop thumbing yourself milk man. really is pathetic.

05 Sep 2025 19:19:30
Just clarify where it is that I said I disliked the country. I am a realistic and relatively proud patriot. I still don't know who you think I am, either. TACO as in Trump always chickens out (because he's a coward and a bully) with the tariffs, sanctions on Russia that he keeps threatening and bombing or nuking over 20 countries that he has threatened but never follows it through. You haven't been keeping up have you? M. C. Krasnov, D. J. Vance and Hegseth (the alcoholic wife-beater) have stated numerous times that if the countries of the coalition of the wiling are attacked by Russia they cannot invoke article 5 which means no NATO or US support. He expects Ukraine to cede land to Russia which shows he's on Putin's side.

05 Sep 2025 19:24:18
What you on about, Bowie?

05 Sep 2025 19:36:31
Thumbing yourself???

Sounds so dodgy?.

05 Sep 2025 19:49:47
That's what I was thinking, Robin. Conjures up all types of connotations.

05 Sep 2025 19:54:13
Question is lube or not to lube Silkworm? ??.

05 Sep 2025 19:55:53
Stevie - I know that we're both 'Dad's Army' nowadays. However, I'd have gladly shared a trench with you in the past (and in the future if needs be).

05 Sep 2025 20:04:53
Silkman everything you write says you hate this country, like I said I won’t debate this any further with you, your terminology turns my stomach,

05 Sep 2025 20:43:23
Legolas respect mate?we’re definitely dads armyme old pal, just remember they don’t like it up em?, I’d probably be jonesy ?you’d probably be the suave sergeant Wilson?.

05 Sep 2025 20:58:10
World War three never happen anyway silkman, the big powers know the outcome would be catastrophic
You need to get a life stop worrying and reading propaganda and enjoy life, there's lots struggling with cancer and many other disease that would give anything to be happy and alive.

05 Sep 2025 21:26:55
Nice analogy Stevie! Despite being a Squaddie, I always got on well with you Bootnecks when I served with your lot in the past. Truthfully, a bit too 'touchy-feely' for my liking - but hearts of gold and true warriors with a great sense of humour.

Sgt Wilson.

05 Sep 2025 21:42:40
DTP, I do not care if there is a world war and I don't care if it is a nuclear war. I'm not bothered in the slightest. Stevie, your very similar to DTP in the respect that when I don't trust nor like the US president you take that as I hate this country somehow. You must be a very weak man if my terminology turns your stomach. You could tell me what I say that makes you think I hate this country and also tell me what you think my previous alias was. You keep alluding to a previous poster that you think I was.

05 Sep 2025 21:54:53
Says it all about you if you don't care if there's a world war.

05 Sep 2025 22:05:04
Silkman weak man? you really think so? That’s interesting, I’ve been in some pretty i hair raising situations in the past, seen some pretty graphic scenes, my old colleagues always knew I had their back, and i trusted and respected them, if they said what you just said to me I’d be devastated, but as it is it doesn’t mean a thing to me,

05 Sep 2025 22:08:50
Not to lube, Robin. I like it rough. ??.

05 Sep 2025 22:09:06
Legolas, think us lads were a close unit, but in general always got on well with crap hats mate?respect Lego?.

05 Sep 2025 22:19:58
Anyone who says that they don't care if there is a nuclear war is either drunk or mad.

05 Sep 2025 22:36:21
Or both lego?
Unreal comment.

05 Sep 2025 23:40:32
Stevie - despite me being a 'crap hat', I do think your lot respected me when I served with them across the water. However, you persons filled my room floor-to-ceiling with shredding on my last day out there. They almost made me miss my flight home after all the time it took me to clean out my room.

I realised later that I had been lucky. Your lot nailed my oppo (who was supposed to be on the same flight as me) to an improvised cross, Jesus-style. The guy wasn't well liked. He missed his flight.

05 Sep 2025 23:41:06
Or just trying to get attention because they live sad little lonely life. He's not worth wasting the time and grey matter on. ?.

05 Sep 2025 23:44:42
Dtp, stevie stop giving him the political attention he craves. Thought you two would have known better.

06 Sep 2025 06:53:42
Technically, we've already had world war three just not by name. Seven years war, cold war, napoleonic war were in effect world wars. Others could be considered as well.

06 Sep 2025 07:41:06
Lego it was just a small show of affection mate?.

06 Sep 2025 08:01:45
Bowie don’t worry it’s the last word from this ‘ weak man “ on the subject, lefties enjoy the last word, all most of them can do is talk,

06 Sep 2025 10:59:10
What do you get when you offer a Liberal a penny for his thoughts?


Change?‍☠️?.

06 Sep 2025 19:33:59
You shaw your cornish? ??.

06 Sep 2025 22:20:05
Only half??‍☠️?.

04 Sep 2025 21:32:07
ED001 young man. My apologies if I've missed anything said on izak, type of player who'd jump into cloughs parking space, and end up with a raquet over his windscreen.
Wt f we're you lot thinking of with a player of that attitude bud? Thought you lot were all about heart and badge. Sad greedy wannabe. Just my opinion. Not that i'm bothered. Just curious.

{Ed001's Note - how is it Isak at fault? Newcastle broke promises, then told him he could go, they needed the money for PSR purposes, then reneged on that as well. It wasn't about greed, he is a childhood Liverpool fan who had the chance to live the dream and then Newcastle's incompetence hiring Eddie Howe's nephew as DoF nearly blocked it. If they had hired someone other than a moron in that position, they would have signed their strikers months before and everyone was happy. Most of the stuff in the media was just them talking nonsense to turn the fans against Isak in order to make it easier to sell him.}

05 Sep 2025 00:02:45
Was there really an agreement, ed? Other than what Isak said there was. If he was a real professional he wouldn't have effectively gone on strike. Isak is a disgrace like Wissa. Both are prima donas who think they are bigger than the club they played for.

{Ed001's Note - yes and an agreement between Liverpool and Newcastle. They are just in a mess after Staveley and her hubby cashed out, as those pair had been basically running the club. They need to get the boardroom sorted, then a new DoF in place. Newcastle tried to blame the previous DoF for the agreements and use the changeover to Howe's nephew as an excuse to ignore what had been agreed.}

05 Sep 2025 07:43:29
Isn't it all just a 'he said she said' scenario. If it was just a gentlemen's agreement then there will no proof but if it was a legally binding agreement then there would've been quite messy legal proceedings.

{Ed001's Note - except Newcastle admitted it and put the blame on the previous DoF.}

05 Sep 2025 09:04:21
Ok, ed. Fair enough I didn't know that. Thanks, mu duck.

{Ed001's Note - very welcome.}

05 Sep 2025 19:12:04
You've even give yourself a thumb on a reply, I mean get your head out young man. And leave politics for carlo.

05 Sep 2025 19:52:34
I think it was you that gave it a thumbs up.

05 Sep 2025 20:14:00
The think I don't understand about sll this is. He had three years left on his contract, that he signed.

Three years!

If he suffered a long term injury, the club would have been obliged to pay his wages etc.

It's a two way street. By spitting his dummy out and downing tools shows the character of the man.

As for this, promises were made malarkey. We had the same with Harry Kane a few years ago when Man City were about to sign him.

Anyone with representation would know to get something in writing.

If he does well at Liverpool, let's see how it plays out when a bigger club like Real Madrid or Barcelona come sniffing.

I wonder what will happen ?.

05 Sep 2025 22:07:55
Well he is one of the best strikers after all? ???.

05 Sep 2025 22:13:18
On a serious note there is no such thing as allegiance to the badge anymore, just enjoy them while they are there.

28 Aug 2025 14:33:19
So Russia attacks the British Counsel in Kiev, Starmers response, call the Russian Diplomat to the UK and tell him off. Weak and spineless. Its an act of war. ?‍☠️?.

28 Aug 2025 15:36:58
There is nothing we can do. Robin. Starmer has done what any UK Prime Minister would do. Nothing without starting a world war and Russia has got TACO Trumputin wrapped round his finger so the US army will be on their side if it all kicked off. So we and everyone else are powerless to do anything. TACO said he was going to end it in a day but that should've happened in January. So I wouldn't hold any hope of it ending anytime soon.

28 Aug 2025 15:39:38
Trumpty will sort it. Well he said he would but that was months ago. He's probably forgot about it now. ??.

28 Aug 2025 16:30:28
TACO is too busy abusing his power in America to care.

28 Aug 2025 16:58:47
There's loads that could be done but people with the opinion like you two clearly don't have the minerals to stand up to a bully??‍☠️?.

28 Aug 2025 17:10:18
Why not respond by realising a nerve agent like novichok into a Russian Embassy? Seems fine to them to use nerve agents on foreign soil. About time the left in this country grew a pair, foreign powers laugh at us, thousands of people stood waiting for the next tide in northern France are laughing at us. ?‍☠️?.

28 Aug 2025 17:54:58
And this obsession with trump from you pair is pathetic, can't either of you post anything without a reference to him? Man love if you ask me ???‍☠️?.

28 Aug 2025 17:55:29
What do you realistically think we can do? It's the global overload that is TACO Trumputin that doesn't 'have the minerals' to stand up to a bully. He gives it all the big talk and shouts out the threats to Putin but then cowers when his ego is stroked the right way. If you want to have a world war then fine. But with TACO and Putin at the respective helm's then it could very well be nuclear as neither of them are wired up right. Ask yourself: Do you want a world war and would you fight in this world war? Europe wouldn't stand a chance. I don't stand on the left right or centre of politics, either.

28 Aug 2025 17:58:59
Incidentally, this attack on the British Council wouldn't have happened if TACO has stuck to his threats/ promises.

28 Aug 2025 19:30:51
Council? Are you talking about the Redcar hack? Or maybe Trump man love has gone to your head ?? and you mean counsel as in consulate? To many of trumps tu#ds on your mind??.

28 Aug 2025 19:36:18
And answering your question about would i fight? If they upped the age limit to 45 then yes i would. (actually 44 works fine for me to) ?.

28 Aug 2025 20:18:45
It's not an obsession at all. I can't stand the bloke. I'm just stating a fact that we are powerless to do anything about anything on the world stage because TACO will not let us if we don't agree with him. He agrees with Putin that Russia can take whatever land they want because they are a powerful nation, more powerful than us and more powerful than the Ukraine and TACO bullies countries with tariffs and sanctions if they don't tow his line and the UK generally does what they tell us to do.

28 Aug 2025 21:18:12
I have to agree with you Silkman. Trump makes my skin crawl. The Yanks do love to follow weird cult-leaders though - they're prone to it.

It's just that their new cult leader they have put on a pedestal isn't mentally-stable enough to tie his own shoe laces, let alone lead the Western world. Widely regarded and reported-on by many of the top clinical psychologists in the US as being a severe narcissist and showing all the signs of early dementia, this guy now runs the show in the West. Worrying, to say the least.

But, as any schoolground-bully finds out, Trump will get his comeuppance sooner or later. Maybe it will be Ukraine, Nato, the EU etc but I'm sure someone will eventually stand up to him and give him a bloody nose. Putin has already made a fool out of him in Alaska - I would love for leaders in Europe to do the same.

28 Aug 2025 21:20:08
Yeah big ravers in the car park ???????.

28 Aug 2025 21:21:32
A counsel is not a consulate. They're two different things. ?.

28 Aug 2025 21:23:57
And it's Kyiv not Kiev. Unless you're Russian?

28 Aug 2025 21:45:47
Popcorn and whiskey for me, Bowie. But they should take it to a car park.

28 Aug 2025 21:45:53
And Lego mate, don't join the wet revolution. ?.

28 Aug 2025 22:00:02
Ravers happily you coming? ??.

28 Aug 2025 22:05:54
Anyway i started this conversation about our property being attacked by Putin, can't be a**ed to sling ? at fellow reds, although i do question some on heres loyalty to the garibaldi. ?.

28 Aug 2025 22:17:27
Silkworm has proved you wrong so you're done with the conversation is what you really mean. ??.

28 Aug 2025 22:29:39
No idea what a 'wet revolution' is Winter. All I'm saying is the truth.

IMO it's akin to the fable 'the Emperor's new clothes' - all it takes is for someone (maybe Macron? ) to have the courage to call Trump out and, with other leaders' following, he'll crumble. I hope that happens.

28 Aug 2025 23:42:19
Got to go work now (on fire watch on the north york moors), so ravers stick that in your pipe and smoke it??.

29 Aug 2025 08:01:35
He doesn't like the truth, Lego. He probably thinks we are a powerful military nation but in reality we're nowhere the strength of Russia, China and the US who will all be fighting against us in a world war which Robin looks like he wants to start. There is nothing we can do, Robin. We are powerless. Accept it.

29 Aug 2025 10:37:59
Take it to a car park? This isn't a dogging site. ?.

29 Aug 2025 12:56:03
Spineless and weak attitudes like some above are the reason why we get our pants pulled down by the US and Russia. Even North Korea has the balls to stand up to the west, yet a once mighty nation like ours is left cowering in the corner because of left-wing politics and a brain washed population. ?.

29 Aug 2025 14:26:13
wow, you seem pretty angry RRH, maybe you need to hose yourself down a bit fella.

Chill, it's the weekend!

29 Aug 2025 15:35:09
Lol thanks Ginge, i'm all good mate, tis the weekend and i'm off, i do apologise if i offended anyone, fire watch and no sleep gets me a little touchy ????.

29 Aug 2025 17:44:39
'Tesek', my Cornish mucker!

29 Aug 2025 20:57:04
War won't be a problem in this country, sinking from immigration is our biggest problem that can't be stopped.

29 Aug 2025 22:35:28
Any hazard can be bunged, with the right tools dtp.

29 Aug 2025 22:56:04
Napalm the beaches???
Because Charlie doesn't surf?.

31 Aug 2025 17:01:01
Love the smell of napalm in the morning.

31 Aug 2025 22:14:53
Bowie, one my favourite scenes in a film ever???.

02 Sep 2025 18:09:08
Well said calling em out rrh on trump. Never stops.

04 Sep 2025 15:19:22
I'm right about dementia Donald though. He is on Putin's side so everyone is powerless to do a thing about it. Just like we are powerless to stop Israel's genocide in Gaza because TACO has told Netanyahu to do it.

04 Sep 2025 16:41:49
Putin will be in for a shock if he f**ks with Europe, we'll come together, Great Britain, France, Germany, Poland, the Nordic nations, even the now well armed baltic states. So stick your trump obsession up your backside. ?.

04 Sep 2025 16:52:27
TACO and Xi will be on Russia's side so Europe will be f**ked. Stating facts is not an obsession. You obviously think we are more powerful than we actually are. Our military is severely depleted thanks to years of cuts to defence. That is another fact that you probably ignored.

04 Sep 2025 18:31:15
If your comrades were so amazingly powerful as you say, how come they still haven't beaten Ukraine into submission? Russia with the help of North Korea, Iran, China, India and a multitude of mercenaries from across the far east and Africa. Yet a stubborn people are holding up the advance tyranny. ????.

04 Sep 2025 20:01:57
Russia will implide as a country eventually, the people will get fed up of losing their loved ones
They ate isolated from sport and the outside world, but eventually will revolt.

04 Sep 2025 21:02:44
DTP spot on mate???.

04 Sep 2025 22:44:03
Been around long enough to see what dictatorship brings to countries
Franco and castro deprived their people of a decent life while living the high life life
Putin just another dictator in a long line along with the Chinese dictatorships.

{Ed001's Note - that isn't why Cubans suffered. They suffered because of US sanctions. But they developed the best organic farming methods in the world due to having no access to chemical fertilisers and pesticides.}

05 Sep 2025 00:11:42
Mr. Trumpty is a wanna be dictator. That's why he hasn't stopped the war yet. He supports the dictators like Putin.

05 Sep 2025 00:30:56
What did you think of José de la Cruz Porfirio Díaz Mori DTP? You must have been a nipper when he came into power??.

05 Sep 2025 06:49:46
Trumpty loved him, Robin. He looked up to him like Hitler did Mussolini.

05 Sep 2025 07:06:38
I didn't say they were 'amazingly powerful' I said that they'd slap Europe's proverbial if it kicked off because they would have China and the US on their side.

05 Sep 2025 08:29:06
Yes I remember him well in a previous life winter ??.

05 Sep 2025 10:34:33
DTP ???.

05 Sep 2025 21:46:21
Stop liking your own posts, Robin, Bowie doesn't like it.

06 Sep 2025 14:33:16
Silkworm i'm not, i just posted something a lot of people agree with, take your head outta the left and you may actually find people will like your posts, not just you thumbing yourself. ?.

06 Sep 2025 18:28:46
So by the same logic I'm posting things a lot of people agree with. What is the left? Or don't you know. An answer similar to 'people with your views' or 'people like you' isn't really an answer it just means you don't know what the left is. 'yet a once mighty nation like ours is left cowering in the corner' is what you previously said which is pretty much what I've said but when I say it it means I dislike the country. So again by the same logic it also means you dislike the country. Or is it more double standards?

06 Sep 2025 19:24:48
He's got you there, Robin.

06 Sep 2025 22:24:13
Unfortunately the powers that be have been censoring or not allowing me to reply. Basically said i can't be bothered to debate with you pair, its a waste of time and energy. Leave you chuckle brothers to it. ?.

25 Aug 2025 22:13:35
Duty Ed - can you please post this on Banter as I think that will give this the widest audience. We all love Forest, but some things run even deeper.

I've just watched the Edinburgh Military Tattoo on the box. I hope that others on here did so as well. A true celebration of our great nation, combined with contributions from other nations such as Ukraine, Poland and (dare I say it) even the US.

Whilst a celebration of our nation, there was no inane flag-waving nor xenophobic songs. Just patriotism of England and Scotland and recognition of our allies. That, combined with the brilliant music and foot-drills, filled my heart with hope.

We all read the depressing stuff about mass immigration, unsustainable tax and utility bill rises etc. However, as much as sometimes I dream about relocating to Spain, tonight re-affirmed my love for this country.

26 Aug 2025 01:23:21
There 3 yr ago lego, loved it mate. And proud. Especially the whiskey experience ? and yeah watched it tonight ?.

26 Aug 2025 06:06:34
Apparently if you don't fly the St George's flag then you hate the country. Or at least that's what the latest flag furore and 'Operation Raise the Colours' morons will have you believe.

26 Aug 2025 18:01:28
Yes went 2 Yr ago brilliant night planning the next one stepson lives north Bewick goes every 3yrs so next Yr maybe he gets cheaper tickets we make night of it bars, meal etc he drives great night go if you get chance TV doesn't do it justice. IOW at moment very nice island but very busy roads are chocka, bus trip zimmers everywhere something to look forward to ?? bus driver Geordies fan crying in his Coke last night ??.

26 Aug 2025 21:59:27
I have to say that whilst the Edinburgh Military Tattoo has become a lot more 'theatrical' over the years, I still love it. Those Yanks stole the show with their rifle drills this time.

27 Aug 2025 16:53:09
Impressive. But it's all a bit pointless.

27 Aug 2025 17:14:47
Agreed lego. But miss the navy v army cannon, (from few years ago ) brilliant.

27 Aug 2025 20:35:45
I get why someone may think so Silkman, but drill is not pointless. It actually derives from the Roman Army (who weren't too shabby in their work. ) as a means of moving formations of troops around the battlefield in an 'orderly manner'. The British Army adopted this tactic centuries ago for the same reason.

At the risk of goading Stokey back onto the site, I remember reading that drill was a key factor in us beating Napoleon at Waterloo in the process of forming 'squares' of infantry to repel the French cavalry. (Stokey could explain this much more intelligently than me).

In modern-day armed forces that reason is pointless. However, drill is still taught around the world today as a means of creating discipline, cohesiveness and pride - all attributes as important today in our armed forces as they were in the past.

27 Aug 2025 21:04:46
Bowie - I miss the field gun races as well mate. I've not seen them in years - probably banned for H&S reasons. If so, they should also ban wheelchair rugby - it's far more dangerous than field gun racing!

28 Aug 2025 12:17:08
So is all entertainment a bit pointless Silkman, jeez.

25 Aug 2025 18:25:10
I know the reds come 1st on this site. But would like to give a shout out to a laddie. Only 28 yr old, lost his life at whitley Bay, Spanish city. Bank Holiday weekend, working on a ride. Too close to it. Knocks him out then crushes him. tragic. From what I read he had a cpl of kids to look after. From what I see I think it's the one that goes backwards/ forwards.
Ya know the lot of ya. I know it may bore the t1ts off some. Others have a laugh at it.
But my never take them around ya for granted, could not be more true
You really have to buckle down and appreciate your grandparents, parents etc. Just make that one step. And I promise ya, you will feel good about yourself. Just saying. Xx.

25 Aug 2025 18:55:13
And falling out with kids, I know how stubborn they can be these days as they age. Every second goes bye is a second lost of pride most of the time. please just make the effort ? ok rant over.

26 Aug 2025 00:01:45
My son's just gone to bed, as has his dying mother. Been trying to make sure they had a nice time at the seaside together. It's been a heart-rending experience. Every time they do something, like the beach today, I know it might be the last time she does it with him.

Every moment matters. Don't leave it until it's too late, people. Bowie is right!

26 Aug 2025 01:24:58
Bless ya cyclist my friend, good lord be with ya all.

28 Aug 2025 12:19:16
Thats super sad to hear RC, all the best mate.

22 Aug 2025 19:40:02
Mr Wonderful that's you.

23 Aug 2025 21:31:16
Thanks mate ❤️.

21 Aug 2025 19:14:19
Vale - I, I'm sure along with other posters on here, had no idea about your loss. I don't know when it happened and it's none of my business. All I can say is hang in there mate. I'm afraid to say that many of us on here have experienced loss - the pain fades a bit yet never really goes away does it? I've posted my details on this site before if you ever feel the need to chat with a 'stranger' about things.

20 Aug 2025 23:20:40
Just like to say if there are any crowd problems at palace Forest, Steve Parrish should be prosecuted for inciting violence, he's a coward deflecting the blame to cover his own incompetence, palace need to remember they have to visit the city ground in January, just a thought.

21 Aug 2025 06:17:21
I hope nothing kicks off on Sunday and all Forest stay safe. Because there is a lot of animosity from Palace towards us after they made a horrendous cock up. Not us but them and they blame us for it. If anything happens to Forest fans down at their sh! t tip then they will pay for it 10 fold when they come up here.

21 Aug 2025 09:11:11
It was Textor that had majority ownership not Parish so it was Textor's incompetence not really Parish's.

21 Aug 2025 10:41:48
Yes but Parish was running the show. Should have read his emails and sorted it out. After all this was an administrative error. Textor could should and would have gone in to a blind trust like Marinakis did, if given the nod.

21 Aug 2025 10:55:29
Textor would've known the rules anyway with being owner of Lyon. It's all down to him at the end of the day.

21 Aug 2025 11:58:06
Difference is marinakis did it because Europe was definitely on the cards, Palace obviously didn't expect to win the cup in March and their only way of getting into Europe
So the matter of moving textors shares was probably never discussed.

21 Aug 2025 15:15:03
I bet the Palace fans were all crying into their beers and protesting when Everton and Forest had points deductions even though Man City have broken the rules over 100 times. Weren't they?

No they were not! Screw them!

21 Aug 2025 17:17:25
Exactly Cyclist, i have zero empathy for them.
Bringing blame everyone and everything culture into football rather than admitting their own mistakes. ?.

21 Aug 2025 17:19:38
Also i'm definitely Norwegian tonight.

Come on Fredrikstad Fotballklubb??.

21 Aug 2025 19:03:12
Yes, popcorn out for this one!

Eds, please can we have the Forest chat on for the Crystal Palace v Fredrikstad game at 8pm tonight.

Because, as Bill Shankly said:

"Some people believe football is a matter of life and death. I can assure you it is much, much more important than that"

Nothing personal, just a popcorn moment. We are the Red Army! ✊.

{Ed033's Note -


Palace v Fredrikstad live chat

21 Aug 2025 20:19:55
Cheers, Ed003. Dunno whether anyone else has noticed, so I might be chatting to myself now. ?.

{Ed033's Note - i also put the live chat link on the banter page

16 Aug 2025 11:40:31
I see Trumps been issued with his latest instructions from his boss. Top of the list " Stand there like the dumb stooge you are and I'll do all the talking ".
I never thought I'd live to see the supposed leader of the Free World roll out the red carpet then stand there and applaud a murderous tyrant as he walked on it off the plane.
Shocking, disgusting ( but at least consistent).

16 Aug 2025 16:10:26
Murderous? There is a genocide taking place, and the government doing it is being supplied with weapons by our government. IF you're bothered about human life, these things start at home.

16 Aug 2025 17:22:19
If you’re referring to the Israeli Govt Cyclist 99.9 %their weaponry is in fact supplied by the USA, Germany and Italy. I’m not exaggerating, check it out. We supply things like the windscreen wipers on tanks. Admittedly it’s not for want of trying we just didn’t win
any contracts.
Ironically, the RAF transport aircraft sprayed with paint recently had taken no part whatsoever in the Gaza conflict except the supply of humanitarian aid ( which the Israelis blocked from distribution.

17 Aug 2025 05:03:55
Israel are allowed to commit genocide. It's only a problem if the perpetrator isn't friendly with western nations. Keep up. ??.

17 Aug 2025 07:33:14
If you've been paying attention to the first 6 months of TACO Trumputin's tenure you would've noticed he's a very weak man. If you stroke his ego and tell him that he's wonderful he will let you do anything you want. He's threatened Putin with sanctions on numerous occasions and never followed it through. He's been on and off with the tariffs as well. He's not called TACO for nothing. He likes murderous tyrants like Putin and Netanyahu. He's the most incompetent President you will ever see.

17 Aug 2025 09:52:13
I see sons of the Devil in charge all over the world, to do what they do they must have been born evil.

17 Aug 2025 11:45:56
Supplying a genocide regimen with puncture repair kits for their cycle couriers is complicity in a genocide.

I'm no Trump fan, though. He's an authoritarian and respect other authoritarians. Erdogan, Putin, Netanyahu.

I think they have compramat on Trump, possibly from Epstein who definitely had links to MOSSAD (Israeli intelligence) and may have been on the Russian payroll as well. If true, Trump is a security threat.

17 Aug 2025 13:03:48
TACO Trumputin is only 'trying to stop the war' between Russia and Ukraine to divert attention away from his misdemeanours on Epstein's island with the kiddies and he'll ambush Zelenskyy again when he goes to the Sh! te House. Starmer won't say Israel are committing genocide because he knows we are complicit.

20 Aug 2025 14:27:56
He will be asking for help soon with China over Taiwan UK back up the man's a joke of a leader. He told Iran he was going to bomb them and they moved everything the man's a fool.

20 Aug 2025 17:36:01
Mr Trumpty has threatened to bomb a lot of countries and then backed down just like the tariffs on China and sanctions on Russia and Qatar.

20 Aug 2025 17:37:25
What a coward he is.

21 Aug 2025 16:04:49
Well looks like he’s really frightened Putin.

21 Aug 2025 16:49:55
Scared him that much he's bombed a US factory. TACO won't do a thing about it though as he's petrified of his boss Putin. ??.

11 Aug 2025 16:56:26
Anybody else noticed that all the Liverpool fans booing national anthem gets less media coverage than a few Palace fans booing, which I believe was not for the minutes silence but as a response to the initial booing of the anthem.

11 Aug 2025 19:36:41
You know why Cloughie never got a knighthood or the England job, don't you? Because he agreed with the Liverpool fans.

Some people think it's archaic nonsense to have an unelected head of state. That privilege rules in a supposed democracy. Some people don't want to sing to a Monarch.

Anyway, isn't the English National anthem Jerusalem?

11 Aug 2025 21:29:04
I don't think England has got an official anthem. No anthem with 'God' in it should be the national anthem of England or the UK.

11 Aug 2025 21:49:01
Can't beat patriotic people?

11 Aug 2025 22:36:13
Right born abd bred on the clifton council estate, had a great childhood and lots to do when the village was the village, moved on abd settled in long eaton l, moved on again and settled in Awsworth
Thus country is me and I love it
I've enjoyed 68 years living in it
Times are changing yes but it's still ours and my country
Silkworm you always come back to this and always will
You don't like it then do one instead of complaining
I don't believe in God, but it's just a word at the end of the day
We've just signed jesus, so God help you there? ????.

11 Aug 2025 23:17:20
Edward Morgan Forster in “A Passge to India “ famously describes the National Anthem as “ a curt series of demands upon Jehovah”….
It’s hardly a National Anthem anyway as verse 2 goes on about giving the Scots a good shoeing, as they are our enemies to be “ confounded “ ( or at least the Jacobins anyway).
I regard myself as English ( with a dash of Irish from my Mums side) so “ Jerusalem “ should be our National Anthem without a doubt. Music by Hubert Parry and words by one of our greatest ( and most seditious) poets William Blake ) who was once tried for treason, a truly cussed awkward and stubborn Englishman. He could pick a fight in a Telephone Box had they been invented in the 18th century.
Personally, as a young man, my sympathies were Republican as a result of reading Thomas Hobbes and the political philosophers of the Scottish Enlightenment such as David Hulme and Adam Smith. But as a grew older and more pragmatic, I recognise that, unelected as the Royals are, they are consistently overwhelmingly popular in any polls ever conducted. They are effectively heads of State by the popular consent a free, democratic and proud people and that’s good enough for me.

11 Aug 2025 23:25:00
I think the nub of the problem at Wembley was a lack of respect, common humanity and tolerance by several sections of the crowd.
I was reminded of WH Auden’s famous poem about the outbreak of WW2, called “1st September 1939”
Particularly the lines……
“I and the public know
What every schoolboy learns
He to whom evil is done
Will do evil in return”.

12 Aug 2025 02:10:44
I dislike our National Anthem not for royal or religious overtones, it's because it's fiat and uninspiring!. The French Anthem gets me every time for passion, if we have to sing any, it should be Jerusalem, rousing fist pumping song.

12 Aug 2025 06:21:50
What planet are you on, DTP?

'Silkworm you always come back to this and always will
You don't like it then do one instead of complaining'

Always come back to what exactly?
I don't like TACO Trumputin. In your eyes it means I hate my country.
I don't want the word 'God' in our national anthem. In your eyes it means I hate my country. You are losing the plot.

12 Aug 2025 06:25:40
Jesus had nothing to do with 'God' as he was just a mentally ill man who hated his real dad enough to say he was the son of something else. About as cuckoo as you, mu duck.

{Ed001's Note - actually the most likely, like thousands of others at the time who were claimed to be of a virgin birth, he was the result of a rape by a Roman soldier.}

12 Aug 2025 13:25:22
An interesting and plausible theory Ed mate. Jesus and his family certainly existed as they were on the meticulously kept Roman census returns.
It’s odd how history turns out isn’t. Like the Church of England, now world wide, started to facilitate a Kings divorce.
Judea was a remote ( and troublesome) part of the Roman Empire. It’s just takes one charismatic leader and some good myth makers and you are away …….

{Ed001's Note - and some following on to completely rewrite the original myth and remove any troublesome things like references to his wife and start referring to her as a prostitute. Can't have women having a say in the world after all, they might actually get the church working for the good of people, rather than for the enrichment of the Vatican.}

12 Aug 2025 13:39:33
I personally think Jesus was the David Blaine or Dynamo of his day, imagine back in B. C. one of these guys fooling the public with their street tricks. ?.

12 Aug 2025 14:02:06
If anyone saw the documentary by Jeremy Bowen "Son of God "where they scietifly showed what Jesus would look like, and RedRobin he was more like Paul Daniels!.

12 Aug 2025 14:17:19
"A modern Fable"
Doctor says to a young woman that she's pregnant, "Impossible" she says "I live in a Spiritual commune where we are all naked, but we can only look at each others body's, no touching and definitely no physical contact! ", Doctor says "Well me'duck there's some fellow there who's cock -eyed ?‍?".

12 Aug 2025 18:36:43
Never takes much
Bible a story book as all the other religious ones are
Jesus could have been a magician?

And there's people believing that to be the case, many theories on him
Things get exaggerated when passed down the generations.

12 Aug 2025 18:37:58
The King is from a German family. Charles Uncle was a Nazi sympathiser - Edward VIII). You can like your country and not want an unelected head of state. If you don't like democracy and think wealth and privilege are a good thing, that's your business.

Freedom to express dissatisfaction with the status quo is important. Without it, we wouldn't even have the vote. If it had been up to the Royals, we never would.

Me? I want our land back, keep your titles, give me my fair share.

12 Aug 2025 18:52:45
Royalists always give you the old line about how much tourism money they bring in but the two most visited cities in the World NewYork and Paris are both in republics.
We always also hear how the monarchy is being slimmed down but there’s never any evidence.
They must be the most cosseted family in the world, seem, s immoral when we constantly face cut after cut, you can’t even get your bin emptied in Brim.

12 Aug 2025 18:53:26
Born in meadowell area of North East. Probably one of the roughest. Riots etc. But the lot of us on each estate looked after each other. Had to. Loud and proud. As ya age you value the hard times. As dtp pointed out.

12 Aug 2025 19:03:56
I’m not religious at at all but is strange that it’s ok to doubt and disrespect Christianity, or anything English, but if someone was to post pointing out the dubious premise or criticising certain other world religions, or having a go at another nationality, I doubt it would be posted, and if it was, someone would be getting a early morning call from starmers stasi, strange situation.

{Ed001's Note - the reason it is ok for English to criticise England or anything English is because they are English. Bit like it is OK for the Irish to make jokes about their nationality but anyone else doing it is racially stereotyping etc. As for doubting Christianity, of course it is ok to doubt any religion - by simple virtue of belonging to one religion you are casting doubt on all others.}

12 Aug 2025 19:21:03
Nothing immoral about being a royal
I'd hate being one personally, your life us never your own
I wouldn't do it for any amount of money and you can't help being born to rich people, royal or not
Carlo your son bought the house MGW was after, so he's not to bad off then ehh?
You don't reach a good argument there.

12 Aug 2025 19:29:57
Ed don’t really agree, but that’s your opinion fair enough, , I’m neither a royalist, or religious, but I don’t half get pissed off with people trashing this country, in more ways than one.

{Ed001's Note - it is the truth, how can any of us have an opinion on another country without living there? I have lived in 3 other countries, I will criticise what is wrong with them as well, but you can't expect people to criticise without knowledge. You have the king sheltering a paedophile rapist, how can you expect people to respect the royals?}

12 Aug 2025 19:43:45
And yet you still don't explain, DTP. What makes you think I hate my country? You don't know do you? Just like you target particular players you target my perceived lack of patriotism. Which is non existence in the first place.
Had two big horns. And a wooly jaw. Wooly Bully.

12 Aug 2025 19:54:33
Who is 'trashing he country', Stevie?

12 Aug 2025 20:00:47
We all as parents try to protect our own though edd?
We bring them up, but once grown up, we can only hope they behave
I honestly don't know what I would do in a situation where one of my siblings had committed any sort of bad crime
No matter what their your blood and its in our nature to protect them no matter what?

{Ed001's Note - sorry but not that. And it is not the first time either, this is almost a tradition.}

12 Aug 2025 20:18:45
Just saying edd and we all hope none of us has to deal with such things mate, but people have to unfortunately.

{Ed001's Note - I agree but that is one thing that I would not forgive. I have seen the damage it done to a good friend's daughter. She was changed completely. She once just out of nowhere started telling me about it. It was the most heart rending soul destroying thing I had ever listened to. I don't care who it is, I would not protect them if they subjected another child to the torment she suffered. Sorry I really shouldn't have got into this but it is just something I feel so strongly about.}

12 Aug 2025 20:21:52
Just like you've never explained who you really are on here, so you first?
Don't give me the bull your a new poster because you said way back you weren't.

12 Aug 2025 20:32:39
Ed I’m not a royalist, I’d get rid of this king Tommorow, I think he's senile, I’ve worked in many parts of the world speak 3 languages, and worked closely with different nationalities, feel relatively qualified to have an opinion of several, SILKMAN successive sets of useless weak feeble politicians, it sickens me that these useless persons have the power to send young men to war, when they themselves would s***themselves at the sound of a car backfiring.

{Ed001's Note - but most people don't have that knowledge to criticise, so they criticise what they know. By the way, in my experience the most patriotic people you will ever find are filipinos, they absolutely love their country and are incredibly proud of it. They also never stop bloody criticising it or other Filipinos. A lot of moaning comes from caring and wanting something we care about to be better.}

12 Aug 2025 22:32:11
Carlo, mate, had to have a little laugh about New York being a lure for tourists. Not these days my friend with Trump in charge. Tourism has gone down around 60% as no one wants to have their mobiles examined and lives stripped down at their Border control ( me included, cancelled my proposed trip down the Mississippi, Charleston and Savannah, also a cruise down the St Lawrence seaway which ends in NY).
As for Prince Andrew he’s a sleazy dog with a foul temper apparently but there’s no evidence of him being a paedophile. Quite a few prominent people have been photographed at Epsteins parties ( including Bill Clinton and Peter Mandelson for example ) but the girls, though young and vulnerable, were at least 17 years old.
As for German and Greek ancestry, well it doesn’t make you a bad person does it?

13 Aug 2025 03:08:10
The King is not this Country. You can love this country and want to rid of the Royals. You can also dislike religion and still like the country. It's complete nonsense to pretend people who don't agree with you are unpatriotic. My grandparents fought for my right to be free to challenge authority.

The aristocracy are a bunch of privileged people who were born into money and titles. They can get lost and give us back out land. I love plenty of the population and it's sick to see poverty everywhere and people supporting a system that keeps a bunch of people in the £££.

13 Aug 2025 04:03:58
Christianity is disrespected because it's the most ridiculous of them all. It's like a Michael Bay film. Full of plot holes. Inconsistent nonsense and storytelling and when it starts to lose its way then a bit of violence is thrown in to keep the viewer interested or (for the sake of the metaphor) to keep the believer scared of the invisible and impotent being that is God. And the main character is a pathetic excuse for a human being.

13 Aug 2025 12:18:13
The belief that some cosmic Jewish Zombie can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him that you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree.

Oh, and he is also a ghost and will return to Earth to fight a non-existent Antichrist when believers will literally raise from the dead in their physical bodies (zombie army) is an apocalyptic endgame.

Makes perfect sense.

13 Aug 2025 14:22:58
Cyclist have you not seen World War Z? Its all true i tell the????.

13 Aug 2025 17:29:32
Based on a true story? If it actually happens I'll apologise to all Christians. ?

But if there is a heaven and God, I'm not worried. God gave me free will for a reason, and I use mine to think for myself. I'm not taking instructions from a book written thousands of years ago that's been wrongly translated over and over again. I'm banking on any God worth their salt who had a message for me to be able to be clearer than that.

13 Aug 2025 18:19:39
According to religion God has a plan for us which in turn negates free will.

25 Aug 2025 18:13:24
Never heard clough say that one?

10 Aug 2025 15:52:56
Ray Brookes passed on Saturday, he was one of them characters you grew up with!, it sort of reminds you that your mortal, when Richard O'Sullivan goes I will really panic!. ???.

10 Aug 2025 16:28:31
I can't say I know who Ray Brookes is. He was definitely before my time.

11 Aug 2025 21:50:57
I don't watch easterners, but i do know it wasn't before your time.

12 Aug 2025 08:05:31
What? Easterners? Senility keeping you up at night?

12 Aug 2025 14:19:53
He started in the sixties, then every decade he cropped up in something, not a star just a face that kept appearing in things like Sam Kydd, another you won't know Silk?.

{Ed001's Note - I had to google him - he was Mr Benn's narrator! I used to love that show as a kid.}

12 Aug 2025 19:45:41
That's right, Mossy. Way before my time. I haven't breached 40 yet.

12 Aug 2025 21:35:57
Was he in a series called a big deal about a small time gambler, ?

13 Aug 2025 12:52:02
Yes Stevie.

13 Aug 2025 13:02:13
Sorry Silkman wrong of me to assume you're my age?. At work I was told to show a new starter Ben around, as we where driving around we saw a horse and cart, straight away I said "Steptoe and son", "Do you know them? "said Ben, should learn my references are now dated!, anyway the rest of the journey I turned the "Wireless" on ?.

05 Aug 2025 13:49:04
Florence ( the home city of our visitors tonight) is one of the most beautiful places I've ever been to.
The 15th century Holy Roman Emperor Charles 5th thought so too and his Hapsburg family ruled an Empire which included Spain, Portugal, France, Germany, the Low Countries and Italy so had plenty to choose from. When he visited Florence he decreed a curfew which included no noise, markets, festivals etc. so he could contemplate the wonders of the city in silence. The only sound permitted was the pealing of the church bells calling the faithful to Mass.

05 Aug 2025 19:16:20
Apart from being a phenomenal Emperor, administrator and military leader Charles 5th was also a cunning linguist, fluently speaking 5 or 6 languages. Had a sense of humour also. He famously said he spoke Spanish to his wife, French to his mistress, Latin to his clergy, English to his diplomats, Italian to his God and German to his horse…….
Also, the Hapsburgs were said to get to extend their empire by marriage rather than war. However they kept it in the family, cousins, nieces, etc with the result that generations of them ( they only fell from powers after World War 1) had a congenital birth defect, the “ Hapsburg jaw” a protruding lower jaw with a massive over bite and a withdrawn upper jaw. Have a look at their portraits in various galleries around Europe….

{Ed001's Note - he was a cunning linguist? His wife and mistress must have loved him.}

05 Aug 2025 21:47:31
Good job I didn't try posting that line edd ????.

05 Aug 2025 21:52:51
OMG - it's happening again. Save me Lord!

05 Aug 2025 23:10:36
Ed1 he must have been very cunning to please his wife and mistress in that way with his huge jaw deformity mate. Imagine Bruce Forsyth or Jimmy Hill to the power of 10!
Joking aside, for a family to rule virtually the whole of Europe for 500 years is incredible. I think there is a remaining Habsburg in the European Parliament to this day. I’ve been to their very modest castle where they originated from in the middle of Switzerland.
It’s like the Tudors, an obscure Welsh lord from a tiny village in Anglesey ( or “Tudurs” as they were. My wife and I I have stayed in a wonderful restaurant with rooms next door to the tiny crumbling church where the 1000 year old effigies of the Tudors are. I’m amazed it’s not preserved as some sort of historical national treasure like the Habsburg castle in Switzerland.

{Ed001's Note - maybe there is hope for me, one great grandad is from Angelesey and another is an obscure Welsh lord. I always I was meant to rule to world but now you have just given me proof....}

06 Aug 2025 10:10:31
Ed 1 go for it mate! ???

Lego, not only is it happening again my friend but this time I’m armed with a pacemaker ……?????.

{Ed001's Note - I think editing these sites is about as far as I will ever get mate.}

06 Aug 2025 12:23:19
I was on about my spelling
Not sure what you two are on about.
