I always thought that if you’d played so mush of the match the result stood. For some reason I remember 70 minutes.
Just checked with AI and there isn’t a specific rule but the governing body looks at specific circumstances but 75-80 minutes is a rule of thumb for result standing. |

I was wanting to comment similar of Friday night but was clearly the outlier at that point with the emotion the game brings. So I avoided commenting to avoid being labelled a miserable fu*%^r!
I think the result is massive, will give a confidence boost, which will further the togetherness and belief of the group. This in turn will help improve the performances so we can then dominate games.
However, teams low blocking like derby will be the norm I fear, at Portman rd. at least, learning to unlock them is the key. Someone commented Nunes previously for this and think they might be right. |

I have searched. Can’t find anything in uniform where he is ‘spouting’ politics.
Ex-soldiers should be allowed careers after they serve. And being a soldier shouldn’t discount a career in politics or any other role. And as soldiers are often sharp end of politicians decisions they obviously have a unique view maybe??
I’m not saying I support him, I don’t even know his political views although he did appear alongside farage on a video I saw. But I can imagine he is some who could galvanise dissatisfied Brit’s. That alone means we should listen at least. Hopefully he does this positively. [Post edited 11 Sep 20:29]

I haven’t seen that.
I only heard about him standing for mayor the other day. He was wearing civilian clothing in the brief video I saw.
Do you have a link? |

Yep. With the English language being the international language it is a draw.
Also, although it goes against many of the narratives we here anyone from a ex colony is likely to favour coming to us. |

SAS soldiers aren’t sociopaths—they’re highly trained professionals with exceptional emotional control, discipline, and teamwork. Their job demands empathy, trust, and psychological resilience, not emotional detachment or instability. Mistaking mental toughness for sociopathy is just lazy thinking.
It is not to say some might struggle after what they experience but that goes for may professions, not just the armed forces.
And I for one don’t idolise people lightly. However, I generally respect people who serve. Including police and firefighters etc.. and it isn’t me saying i idolise Ant Middleton, but I’d be an interested observer should he get the role. That partly comes from watching how he treated Kieran Dyer when he came out with his sexual abuse from his father story on TV. He certainly didn’t strike me as a sociopath. [Post edited 11 Sep 18:37]

It remains to see how it will go this weekend. I hope they are sensible but could just as easy turn into a riot. If they do that then they lose a chance to gain traction. Unfortunately traction in their argument produces an opportunity for farage which isn’t great.
I did see though as part of the parade Ant Middleton (ex SAS) is going to announce his candidacy for mayor of London. He does seem aligned with reform and would be the polar opposite of Kahn. Not sure how I feel about it, he clearly deserves respect for his service. Would be an interesting one to watch. |

Look. I don’t have all the answers obviously.
But channel crossings cannot be the answer, if do no reason apart for the tragedy we’ve seen yesterday of two children crushed to deaths |

Well obviously nobody can predict the future.
But war and famine? How does crossing the channel
Align with that. If they are fleeing war and famine then there are many good options before the reach the channel. Hence, they are likely not fleeing war and famine. |

That’s exactly the point. How do you do it? ie it isn’t an acceptable entry point from any angle for entry to our country. From security, or from safety as seen with these recent young children crushed to death. |

I was actually only making reference to the opening statement that seemed to be dismissing any negative reason to come to the UK. |

No problem.
It is abolished subject and might not always explain myself well.
My concern with the people on the bats is that we don’t know. And have no way of checking until it is really too late. There should be another way. |

A very difficult question and has many options.
I have the luck of coming for a 1st world country and therefore safety means likely something very different to me than someone in a camp in France.
But, and I know you can’t answer this question, where did the people that n France come from? Let’s maybe take the example of war torn Syria a year or so back. It is safer than that. But also the countries they travelled through to get to a camp in France would have seen safer. To risk your child’s life on a channel crossing to get to family in the uk does seem a touch to far.
Of course there may be examples where they absolutely must come to the uk.
The economies of France; Germany etc are decent and standard of living likely better than ours. So why risk a channel crossing? |

Thanks. I’m not overly concerned.
It is a debate, and a very polarised subject. And it’s also probable I put my arguments across poorly. I however believe we should let people in that genuinely need support, determining who they are is the hard part. I certainly don’t believe in open borders and letting people in unchecked.
Like i say, a polarised debate. |

Of course I can’t.
But it feels like common sense to me. If they can’t get a passport, and / or background checks are bad why would we want them.
I had a boss once when i lived in Barnsley a few years back. He had been part of the Barnsley 5 0 the football gang in the 80s . he had been in prison quite a few times. When I knew him he seemed a decent chap and I would never have guessed if he hadn’t told me. However he had since settle d and had a family and wanted to take his kids to Disneyland on the USA. They yanks wouldn’t let him travel. And neither should they.
This is my thought process. Of course I don’t know individual cases and there will always be people that miss out unfairly. |

I have a foreign wife, every time we go on holiday she has to have significant additional checks.
But that’s the point. Border force guards can check she is safe to enter. People on the beach at Dover can’t, they come this route because the vast majority aren’t safe or desirable to live in the UK.
How we sift through and find the ones in desperate need is impossible, but as many have said, they have travelled through many safe countries to get to this point. Makes not sense. The argument they may have family/friends here doesn’t wash. If they are desperate for safety then that’s their priority. |

The problem is that we are all in the same boat.
Mass immigration across the continent and one by one we are all starting to say stop.
This weekend there is going to be a mass rally in London. They are seen now in most European countries.
A solution is needed and just letting people in can’t be the permanent answer. |
