    [Albion] FA Cup quarter final v Grimsby Sun 19th March 2.15

    Just looked again -hundreds now available in almost every area of the ground. If they are for club hangers-on, then they don't seem too deserving, given that they don't want to attend what is arguably one the most important matches in years; how many genuine fans throughout the purchase time...

    [Albion] FA Cup quarter final v Grimsby Sun 19th March 2.15

    Yes, that may be the case, of course, though I cannot help feeling that this should be the other way round -the "customer" sorry fan is king!

    [Albion] FA Cup quarter final v Grimsby Sun 19th March 2.15

    I can appreciate that but surely they could have had a cut-off date earlier than this, so that fans could have had more of a chance to pick up tickets in a part of the ground they prefer, or perhaps get 2 togther, rather than those getting tickets late-on for wtahever reason having to take...

    [Albion] Security for Palace game

    But that is what I want to do, namely come out of the East Stand Upper and simply turn left to go to the bridge car Park. But that is anti-clockwise, though by far the most sensible route. I emailed the club imploring them to be specific and received a reply stating blandly that I must follow...

    [Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

    Facts? they are your opinion. It is arrogant to conflate the two.

    [Politics] Do we need a General Strike?

    Yes, fully agree. Capitalism is clearly not perfect as it can encourage greed as well as far more admirable entrepreunerism, but looking around the world, and back in history, it is a hell of a lot better than the alternatives we have witnessed and continue to do so. Yes, we could lurch to the...

    [Politics] Do we need a General Strike?

    Whilst the figures you quote about firms like Amazon, are very annoying, you show again that you tend to be only too ready to over-simplify matters, choosing to quote convenieint issues, and in order to give some credence to your thoughts, throw all sorts of wild statements about botomless...

    [Politics] Do we need a General Strike?

    Absolutely but that is not what the punters want to read, so please stop this unwelcome dose of reality.

    [News] Braking news - more train strikes over the Christmas period announced

    When these disputes spring up, it is often difficult to properly get to grips with what is really at stake, as you only hear what the politician and on the other side, union militant want you to hear, plus the fact that they are rarely pressed or challenged. As my mate always says -there are 3...

    [News] The official match day thread - The Autumn Budget

    Have you been on Mars these last few years? By all means criticise the Tories for sleaze and have a go at Shameless Hancok, but to say that they don't give a fxxxK is quite frankly absurd. The covid years saw millions on furlough and thousands of businesses helped with levels of generosity that...

    [Offers] Her Majesty The Queens Platinum Jubilee - Official Thread

    You are being entirely simplistic with regard to the queen's role, as you well know. Walking around is a very small part of the role -what happens behind the scenes is never seen, but come on, you know that. But let's replace her with President Abbott.

    [Offers] Her Majesty The Queens Platinum Jubilee - Official Thread

    What a stupid comment. By all means criticise the royals if you don't like the idea of them being Heads of State, but don't criticise them for something when you have no idea what you write is true or not and as you well know the poster combined fact and opinion to confirm his narrative.

    Someone needs to look in a dictionary and find out what the difference is between fact and opinion.

    Considering that you could not possibly be in a position to make such a judgement with any degree of accuracy, the only embarrassment should be your own.

    [Albion] Away fans giving it large today in 1901 section

    I am quite saddened that john Keeley was subjected to abuse, as I know he was fond of the Albion and was a quite a regular visitor to the stadium. His parents lived next door to my sister-in-law and when I met him, he was keen to show me all sorts of photos and taked enthusiastically of his time...

    [Football] Absolutely fuming

    We had little faith in that lino, who often looked to the ref to make a decision on whose throw it should be then put his flag up He was also slow to follow play at times, but in all fairness we were exactly in line and our player was offside, albeit marginally.The picture shows the 2 players to...

    [Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

    Yes, you are quite right -it does seem ridiculous that this can happen. Perhaps it is because the Russian people have been fed government propaganda for so long that they simply lap it up -just now a correspondent said that on his travels he encountered so many who believed that Ukraine was the...

    [News] Government offing £350 a month to host Ukrainian refugees.

    Exactly. this reminds me so much of 2015 when so many virtue signallers all got online and on the telly telling us all how they would house refugees, but strangely never actually did it, or claimed little space etc.

    [Albion] The declining quality of my match day experience

    To be fair the appalling situation with eastbound trains after the match may not have been Southern Rail's fault. I counted 4 trains going to Brighton before the first lewes-bound one arrived and yes, it was a real pain. It may well have been due to the delayed kick-off time, which might have...
