The Footie Thread

[SteveW86]

Anyone who posted about GL on Wednesday either in “things that gladden the heart” (supporting his views) or in “Random irritations” ( against his views) was expressing a political opinion, this was dealt with by another mod who issued points to those concerned
That took 2 of those posters over the 10 point mark due to previous infractions which triggered temporary bans.

People posting on the footie thread about GL match of the day ban and his right to free speech or not are neither in support or against his views and are therefore not political.

If you cannot see the difference, then I can’t help you.

I’d say that an assumption was made what their intent was for posting his name.

All people want is some consistency, countless posts get left by people that comment on political situations with the caveat that they aren’t expressing their opinion yet at other times the axe is wielded quickly.

And not sure how you can say this whole discussion on GL standing down isn’t political, triggered by a controversial government policy.

It's pretty simple.

Take the political part out of it

He was asked to step aside for not being impartial

But then other presenters and members of the BBC are not banned for doing exactly the same thing

Like you say above... consistency.

This season? Apart from the * season they have been spursy

If you ignore recent wins in the FA and league cups, champions league, super cup. They are just like Tottingham.

Well the relegation battle looks like it’s going to a cracker

Everton winning puts West Ham into the bottom 3

6 points between the bottom 8 teams

Tough call to make - is it Southampton plus 2 more

Are one of the big teams going to drop

Imagine if West Ham and Everton went with all the money they have put into the team over the last couple of years - will be some impressive stadiums in the Championship though

VAR at it again at Leicester it seems, look forward to seeing the experts views on it (2 potential reds and a pen shout so far) on MOTD later.................

I shared that with all the Liverpool fans who have given me grief this week, before the ink on it was even dry.

Massive, massive win for us today. Brings more teams into the mix. From Palace down, everyone should be very, very nervous.

Good win for Boro today, after a crap first half. We need a favour from Tony Mowbray and the great unwashed mid week. I can hear Sheff U’s bum squeaking from here.

"What's that QPR? No win in 12? Lost your last 5? No problem, Watford will help you out".

In solidarity with Gary Lineker, Liverpool fans are refusing to watch Match Of The Day.

Alan Davies (I think) replied saying "I definitely wouldn't recommend coming over by boat".
