Oh? So because of the hideous situation in Gaza, we can downgrade the invasion of Ukraine to a war? I’m not sure why there’s a need to score points. Both countries are unjustly under attack. One is simply more able to protect itself.

Record shops barely exist anymore. I was replying on the basis of the original post - suggesting the venue box office being the sole selling point.

Does that mean if you happen to live in a small town that doesn’t have large venues nearby you just…miss out? Seems reasonable.

Be great if all these ex-players were more interested in helping the club than raising their own profile. Doesn’t Pally still work for the club? How the fuck can the club have employees openly questioning the manager? About that culture issue…

Happy to concede that as worried as I was at the outset, I didn’t have a full grasp of the effects their ownership would have. It’s worse than I expected.

Shane @thistimesurely.bsky.social · 6h

Yep. It’s probably worse n fact, as the reality of what their ownership means becomes clearer.

Shane @thistimesurely.bsky.social · 14h

I know what you mean, it is frustrating that there’s an apparent acceptance at this point. But the reality is that no amount of screaming about it will make them go away.

He gets on my tits too (but then almost everyone does). He knows everyone, has seen everything. Portrays himself as a voice of the fans - which perhaps he was, once. But not anymore. Completely inauthentic.

Or Spool!

I don’t think it’s apathy. I think it’s resignation that we’re utterly powerless. They’ll leave when they’re ready, and there’s nothing we can do to hasten that.

Sorry, she wrote a letter to ‘little Christen’? 😬

Sympathy? Your superiority is curious. Based as it is on not winning things.
