There is an answer regarding the scrum but as you have yet to demonstrate sufficient wit or insight in any post you've ever made I'm not going to waste breath explaining it to you. You are a great advert for the braying beer bellied unshaven lardarsed slaphead in an overpriced replica shirt thinking he's part of the team because he's got his hero's name on the back. |

It should be obvious that when the ball doesn't bounce consistently that you need good anticipation to calculate how it's likely to bounce, and then good reaction speed and incredible fitness to intercept it; two skills of which you seem to be wholly unaware. Rugby players don't rehearse how to fall over clutching their face as if poleaxed when they haven't even been touched. |

Rugby Union is a fantastic game to play and a great game to support. In the Services it is more popular than football, and for a good reason. |

If you're from Woking you support Woking. Ditto Aldershot. I've been to a couple of games between them and they usually double the gate from around 2500 to around 5,000. There's plenty of atmosphere and the football is of the take no prisoners variety - if you get kicked, don't roll around in agony, get up or better still don't fall over. Like Nick I'm a big supporter of non league football - I'd sooner watch Bashley in the rain than Chelsea any day. |

Reply | The Adam Blackmore Interview
at 10:41 16 Oct 2026
Adam Blackmore works for a small regional station with a small budget , so he is fulfilling two or three roles , as commentator, as pundit and then as a journalist, probing for underlying nuggets behind every big story. BBC News and Sport is no different to other mainstream Media in looking for headlines, preferably with a bit of breaking sensation. It's not a BBC witchhunt, it is their job. It's not a nice job but you will see it wherever you see a microphone shoved under someone's nose. As a pundit he can express his opinion, but it may later conflict with his role as an "objective interviewer". |

Those are deflection tactics. Yes the vast majority of Moslems are of course law abiding citizens. The vast majority of all minorities are law abiding too, so it's a moot point. All the things I listed are contained within two specific minorities and of those two, only one - Islam - contains cells that actively wish to undermine the other and all of Western Society. The other (Judaism) has done and wants to continue to integrate with and live happily alongside the rest of the country. But guess which Minority contains a movement that wants to destroy that. The problem of Islamism is one that exists almost exclusively within the Moslem underclass, not the educated elite so there is no point in netting one off against the other. If your daughter was in a school in Tower Hamlets, most of her classmates might be statistically hard working and diligent, but also statistically some would be from strict families who teach them a different curriculum at home. Could you be sure that you could identify the ones who were attending a madrassa after school indoctrinating them that western white girls are mere chattels to be exploited? That "Honour Killings" are acceptable so as not to disgrace the family? Would you even feel comfortable when those boys reach puberty and your daughter is getting looks from the boys? It doesn't matter that "White boys do that too" because white boy's families don't fall back on Sharia Law and the local Imam for their moral guidance. |

Personally I consider being regarded by some ancient and ludicrous bit of fiction such as the Quran, the Bible or the Torah as more a problem for the idiots who subscribe to them than for me, but coercing women into wearing a shroud, forcing a teenage daughter who has lived all her life in the UK to marry an elderly uncle back in the hills of Pakistan, killing an animal in an inhumane way as per Halal or Kosher slaughter, regarding infidel women as somehow "Loose" and "easy", teaching impressionable young men that martyrdom is "noble", holding mass "prayer events" in public places, being intolerant of other minorities and other religions, Teaching that Sharia law supersedes the law of the land are all reasons that I would give for a start. No these are not compatible with how we have learned to live in the UK and the only reason these primitive traits are not more widespread is that they are held in check (for now) by the laws that are meant to forbid them or limit their propagation. Why we have so many goody goodies who think the above is a great way to live in a Western society is a mystery. Perhaps the OP can explain. |

Part of his Agent's big plan was for Stewart to use World Cup exposure to attract interest from bigger clubs, have a couple of good games for Scotland, maybe even a goal or two.
Just wondering how the plan's going so far. |

SO you would execute someone for the "crime" of believing in capital punishment when you don't. A great example of acting like a modern day bolshevik while kidding yourself you hold some sort of moral high ground. |

Reply | A Thank You To Tonda Eckert
at 15:29 27 May 2026
Other clubs will look on with astonishment at how quickly some fickle and credulous Southampton fans have turned on the man who delivered a successful season only months after it looked like a fight to stay in the division. And now you think he "bullied" that poor little boy, the same boy whose monumental stupidity led to this entire debacle. The "bullying" is pure speculation but you have latched onto it with the fervour that Middlesbrough fans exhibited calling for Southampton to be thrown out. If Southampton had been fined half a million but won the final I wonder if you would still think that Eckert had destroyed his legacy and that the poor little boy had been bullied? In which case where does the fault actually lie, with Eckert or with the punishment? |

The players will ultimately decide whether Tonda Eckert has any future with Southampton. If they are as angry (with him) as some rumours suggest then he needs to go. But if the bond between players and coach stays strong then forget what other club's fans think or say, appoint a caretaker coach with the understanding that his role will subject to review when Eckert's suspension concludes. The only person who definitely has no future is the idiotic kid who let everyone see him before running away to his hotel and his car dropping clues as he went. Perhaps he was working for Middlesbrough all along in which case he is the most skilful agent provocateur since Agent ZigZag. . [Post edited 26 May 11:16]

For instance, you might say there is no difference between stealing £200m and just stealing £2.50 but using it to buy a lottery ticket that *could* win £200m. Shift the context and it means the Brinks Matt robbers are no better or worse than a bloke lifting a box of swan vestas from a One Stop, but the bloke nicking the matches gets 20 years, same as them. That's the first point. The second point is to what extent did that spying actually alter the outcome of the game. There has to be a difference between (for example) spiking a player's food to get him out of a game (active), and just watching him to see whether or not he is going to play anyway (passive). If you aren't going to have any nuance then you have to have a single arbitrary punishment no matter what degree of crime was committed. In some ways this might encourage miscreants to take the nuclear option knowing that their punishment if caught would always be the same anyway. "Let's just run him over on the way to training". That is Middlesbrough /EFL logic as a parable. |

I also agree, and it says a lot about the support this club has that so many turn on "one of their own" at the drop of a hat rather than concentrate on the ownership of Middlesbrough who outwitted the Southampton board and turned a molehill into a media mountain. As Pep Guardiola said (in defence of Eckert) on the continent all clubs do it, it's just accepted as inevitable and to be honest uncontrollable, and he went on to point out that very little is actually gained anyway. How many results ever been altered by spying on a training session compared to turning the head of a star player with an illegal approach from a rogue agent? He might also have pointed out that smart clubs here will still do it, but use third parties, drones or even bribes to get some tiny nugget of info. I agree that ultimately the players as well as the EFL will decide his fate, but the speed at which fans turned on him will make him glad to leave. |

Of course it comes into it FFS - not every misdemeanour is the same - you don't treat every incidence identically do you. Your proposition is like saying anyone who commits a crime must be treated the same; they are a criminal and therefore the punishment must always be the maximum. Really? You would sentence somebody to 20 years for shoplifting? And as I said in another post. Everybody cheats. Every single club in the League cheats. THey don't all get found out though. |

Because every club cheats. It's not a question of whether a club cheats or not, it's a question of how much and whether they get caught. Getting tired of people simply stating that Southampton cheated when that is no different to saying that someone breathes. Talk about the marginal benefit of cheating and proportionality. Seeing a player not training is not the same as giving him a two footed tackle on the pitch and ending his season, but you seem to think that watching him not playing is a thousand times worse than breaking his ACL on the pitch and getting one player a months ban. Proportionality - it's a long word but you'll get the hang of it. |

All clubs cheat, in all sorts of ways. You only have to look at the false outrage from all the clubs behaving exactly as a child behaves when someone else is caught out. You join in throwing the stones as hard as you can as though this makes you appear on the side of right. Southampton's problem was the sheer incompetence of sending an inexperienced panicky boy where richer clubs would employ a professional third party with all plausible deniabiity built in. Seeing that kid not hiding behind a tree was embarrassing enough; hearing how he left a perfect audit trail to his hotel after he ran away as well is worse. He might as well have used a club credit card to pay his hotel bill. In context I don't think the crime was that serious, when every club is tapping up players illegally through agents, placing stories to unsettle a target, practicing simulated trips in their training sessions, insensing fans after a goal with provocative gestures that incite violence between fans after the game, time wasting........ they all do it. Southampton crime was not so much to have cheated , it was to be so inept when they cheated. [Post edited 21 May 11:01]

Heard this a amillion times before and yet still it gets lapped up as though Saints are a goal up before the game starts. YEs they may be tired, No he isn't worried about his team anymore than Tonda Eckert is worried about his tean, but he will say things to make the opposition fans and players complacent about the game before it starts. Whatever happens tomorrow you won't notice "Squad Fatigue" whatever that is. |
