This past season I've proper fallen in love with non-league. I live a 5 minute walk from Nantwich Town and decided to go to as many home games as I could. £10 entry, pints allowed pitch side, decent atmosphere (average 1,000 attendances for some matches) and food that won't cost the earth.

I wouldn't like to be the evidence review officer who is sent this job to make a decision on. I'd be interested to see in the case of Boris' fine if it was a Police decision or if it was sent to the CPS to decide if there was sufficient evidence, only the public interest factor would massively increase the gravity matrix score of such an offence.
If that's the case with Kier, are they really going to stick on their former boss?

We beat Lambert's Ipswich under Rowett a couple of seasons ago if I remember correctly, but that's about the only one I can think of off the top of my head

The rules are simple - wear a mask unless you have a medical condition that prevents you. The guy was clearly being an arse and then resisted arrest. If the police aren't allowed to police due to faux outcry like this, then we may as well give up and let anarchy reign. So breathing normally is now considered Anarchy? The copper wasn't wearing a mask round his snout. That's how important this Gestapo operator really thinks it is. By the way, none of this shit is in Law. Some people should really have a word with themselves and think about where we're heading and what's been removed and imposed over the last six months under the premise of a supposed 'virus'. Great future for our children, eh? It seems the deliberate authoritarian and media psychological assault on people's minds has been successful. Very disturbing indeed. The officer wasn't enforcing the wearing of a mask! He was investigating a complaint of assault. This has been lost due to the editing of the video but it's quite a key point

A couple of brief thoughts on this incident;
1. The video doesn't show the whole interaction. 2. The first line of the video is the officer using stage 4 of the 5 step appeal that all UK Forces are taught at Personal Safety Training. This is a technique used to diffuse a situation. "Is there anything I can reasonably do to..." Is the last thing an officer will say before using force, there would have been a whole conversation take place before hand that hasn't been recorded or shown, explaining why the officer wants the male off the train. Again this implies that the first half of the incident has not been recorded. 3. The officer was investigating an offence of assault (coughing at people is now classed as assault post Covid). He is not just enforcing the wearing of a mask. Again this is biased editing of the video that doesn't show the whole incident. 4. The Police can use Force to remove you from a train or station under byelaw 25 powers if you have broken any rules (such as byelaw 6 for unacceptable behaviour). 5. Anybody can be refused service on a train, not just post covid. That is down to the Train Operating Companies. It's a bit like a pub, if the owner doesn't want you there then you'd be asked to leave. Nothing to do with a Police State 6. No charge has been brought on the male for assault (other than assault Police) as maybe the initial informant/complainant didn't want to make a statement, but the officer still had to act to provent any further incidents and insure the safety of all persons on the train. 7. People saying there is no evidence must work for the CPS or BTP, as I'm pretty sure there will be CCTV and body worn camera. This won't be released until after the court date though.
People are jumping to conclusions based on half a video to suit their agenda. The video looks bad, but I'd suggest it's been made to look bad.

More I think about it the more I am warming to the idea. No disrespect to Northern Ireland but he can get great results out of mediocre players. He'd probably have given his right nut to have players with the talent that some of ours have (although they haven't showed their talent for some time!).
I know it's different playing with passion for your country compared to picking up a wedge each week to play for a team you have no affiliation with, but if he can emulate what he's done for Northern Ireland, then this could be a very smart move for us.

Sunderland and Chris Coleman comes to mind unfortunately To be fair I thought similar, just down to league position and circumstances etc but then what I've been reading about MON has turned me around to the idea. Looks like he could be a real gem. And let's face it, all top club managers have to start somewhere!

For the history books it's nice to say he managed us but let's hope it's only for this 1 match, at least for the very foreseeable future.

Fitness and defence seem glaringly short, fix that and we would be a solid squad easily looking at play offs in my opinion.

Your signings were terrible, your tactics were questionable and your substitutions infuriating, but I wanted you to do well more than any other manager I can remember. You seem a thoroughly nice bloke, if not a little unhinged. I wish you all the best but you had to go. So long Nath!

The last time I saw somebody subjected to as much pain and humiliation as the average Stoke fan over the past 2 years was when I "accidentally" clicked on some dodgy German website...
Thing is, we all love it as much as that German bloke in the film did!!!

I feel the club has been that toxic over the past few years that even if Pep Guardiola took over as caretaker for the season we would still be languishing near the relegation zone.
Jones is everything we wanted; a young, upcoming, ambitious manager with a plan. I'm willing to stick with him no matter what this season, as I'd rather be watching a project/work in progress, than I would a Pulis/Megson type take over and grind out results week in week out just going through the motions.

I've never wanted somebody to succeed as much as I currently want Nathan Jones to succeed right now after reading this thread.
Some of the alternatives just aren't worth thinking about!

I feel for the lad. Everyone has a shit time at work, its life. True, but then if I consistently fucked up at work and cost the company I'd either be sacked or dumped onto some menial duties. Not Butland though, he just gets a pat on the head and carries on picking up his £35k per week. I'd say, with no certainty of course, that what you and I do for a living is slightly different to that of a professional sportsman though. He needs to be rested, but I don't honestly believe people turn to dogshit for no reason, and there's still an international goalkeeper in there somewhere. In my line of work I could be sacked and replaced the very next week so don't think it'd be any great loss to anyone, it's slightly diffent for elite athletes though, top class goalkeepers are few and far between so it's in our interest to make sure we manage the situation to the best of the clubs ability.

That's a really narrow minded and ill informed opinion if you ask me, especially from somebody in the "real world". So you're saying the only thing that's allowed to play on somebodies mind or effect their mental wellbeing is if they receive tragic news? Rediculous, there's a hundred and one reasons people can struggle. It's glaringly obvious that Butland is feeling it, he's a great proven keeper at his best. What he does now is up to him, and I hope he comes back stronger. But that doesn't mean that the club can't be there to support him. Nobody turns shit over night for no reason, and I feel he needs to be rested until he can get to the root of the issue and get it sorted. Sorry for my OPINION on a opinion based Forum! Will ask you next time precious. Butland is playing football BADLY and needs ‘dropping / counselling’ or whatever you want to call it! It’s that simple. I never said you weren't allowed an opinion; it's just that I'm entitled to disagree with yours in much the same way as you initially disagreed with mine But 100% agree on the fact he shouldn't be playing!

I feel for the lad. Everyone has a shit time at work, its life. To get the news about loosing his place in the England squad and then a couple of hours later putting that performance in is going to absolutely kill him. It would anyone. He needs time off. If it was a physical knock he had taken we would leave him out as a precaution, and I'd say he's taken a massive mental knock and needs to be treated in the same way. I've said in jest before that the club need to employ a sports psychologist or therapist (we may do for all I know), but I genuinely think we need a bit of guidance and support, as the squad look absolutely shot, even the new signings. Something at the club is very wrong and it's going to take something more than extra coaching to fix. Getting News that you are out of the England squad for countless mistakes in a row shouldn’t really be that hard to take or a surprise. Now getting news that you have a Terminal illness or a relative has is Something that really will get you down, let’s get in the real world here ffs. Should of been dropped after the Qpr Fuck up! That's a really narrow minded and ill informed opinion if you ask me, especially from somebody in the "real world".

The difference between this season and the last 2 is that we were still picking up the odd win here and there the last 2 seasons. I can't see where we are going to get 3 points from at the moment!

It just infuriates me how this entire message board could see the gaping holes in our squad throughout the off season, but as per usual it takes the club 6 months or more to catch up on what everyone else already knows.
We have a manager who wanted to buy into a formation, but a squad more comfortable playing another formation. So what do we do? Buy a weird mixture of players that leaves us short no matter how we now want to play. We have proved we don't have the squad to play the diamond, but when we change it up we then have massive gaps in other areas on the field.
We just look lost, both on the pitch and off it.
