Thought it was a Marathon? Oh, it was changed in '90...will you f'ers stop confusing me, I thought I was being clever here.

Same old CA thread ramming their political points away in the ale house - I was a top horticulturist if you read my original post it was news breaking & GL has apologised today on his comments any ordinary employee branding against company rules would be sacked instantly!
Football & general political comments I have always stated do not mix ok!

Speaking out on major humanitarian issues when you have the platform to do so should be commended.

More people in these types of positions should speak up.

This could all be solved with a round of paintball at Goodison. I'm so ripping Chico in his melon.

It really shouldn't even be political to express a desire for less innocent people to be killed, at the hands of regimes or otherwise. But this is the world we live in, now.

But, if you were in their position, you'd no doubt understand why they don't. The grief is usually endless for a while, no matter WTF you say... someone will play off or twist it up. Social media has demonstrated that all too well now. It's no longer just hateful mail by a few nutters, they can all ban together now and major news networks can fan the flames like they love to do to keep that advertising money rolling.

Don’t care for him as a pundit or any pundit for that matter but I find it very strange how in the media you can spit on a child and be absolutely fine but if you share a video on social media you’re buggered.

Although it has caused the usual suspects to have to choose between supporting a bloke who’s a bit wokey and the BBC which personally I am really enjoying
