    Good Morning, just to clairify Roger, there was no interference from outside sources of your board - I've checked.

    I saw the reports come in last night. I observed them and saw two people having a heated debate, so none of my business. I left the reports alone.

    Rechecked this morning, and the reports were checked by another supermod, and again no action taken. We tend to think alike. <laugh>

    Any actions taken were done by your own mods. Have a good day mate. <ok>

    Hi Rog, first half we were atrocious. Second half they took their foot of the gas a little so we got into it more. When Bamford nearly had that chance to make it 4-3 I was about to head-butt the ceiling but it was just taken off the end of his toes. Unfortunately we don't have a KP replacement and when teams press us he's really missed.

    Nice appraisal i missed a bit of the first have but agree with your overall perception of the game. Its a bugger when injuries kick in and spoil the run. Still first season back and a solid midtable most people would be happy with that , Im looking forward to seeing what the management have up their sleeves for the summer, there are bound to be some exceptional players lined up, As far as this season goes i will be happy to see how far up the table we can make it , a fully fit side i hope could achieve 6th which would be a phenomenal achievement

    And that is Trump's biggest legacy.

    Biden wants to be president for all Americans but Trump has so poisoned the minds of his base that fully 60% of Republicans believe that the election was "stolen" and that Joe Biden's administration is therefore not legitimate.

    And that can't be good for the country.

    You misunderstand the terms involved, Trump was impeached twice. He just wasn't convicted in the Senate trial. A majority of Senators did vote to convict him but fell 10 votes short of the necessary 2/3 majority (which is 67 votes) for a conviction.

    Absolutely there was a case - both times - Trump was guilty of inciting the riot / insurrection. If there was no case how come 10 GOP senators voted to convict him ?
    How come 56% of Americans, according to a recent poll, wanted Trump convicted ?

    Mitch McConnell himself admitted Trump was guilty, but announced he was going to vote to acquit

    "January 6th was a disgrace.
    American citizens attacked their own government. They used terrorism to try to stop a specific piece of democratic business they did not like.
    Fellow Americans beat and bloodied our own police. They stormed the Senate floor. They tried to hunt down the Speaker of the House. They built a gallows and chanted about murdering the Vice President.
    They did this because they had been fed wild falsehoods by the most powerful man on Earth — because he was angry he'd lost an election...
    "

    How you can say Trump was not guilty is beyond me. I can only assume it is because you are too removed from events in the USA.

    A recent survey of political scholars placed Trump 44th (and last) when ranking presidents.
    Another had him third worst.
    None of the presidents you mentioned were below Trump in either survey. Please explain that.

    And those surveys were taken BEFORE the January 6th riot/insurrection.

    Sorry but Trump has been the worst every president - by a long way.

    sorry pal you are just re hashing the same anti trump bilge, everything his administration has done is garbage according to you...and as for joe being for everyone well as i said let's wait and see eh.
    you are obviously a democrat supporter and a big one at that,from your posts anyway,no presidency can be as bad as you have made out it's the same here as much as i detested mr blair he wasn't satan for all his term of office so i think you are way to fixated with your hatred for trump per se.

    Trump has been worse than our worst nightmare.

    You say he did "lots of good" for the USA.
    Really? Like what?

    He has divided the nation and polarized opinion
    Undermined the legitimacy of the succeeding administration
    His administration saw the trade gap widen and the national debt soar
    He has de-stabilized the Middle East
    He reneged on treaties signed by the USA
    He besmirched the office of PotUS and shown utter contempt for the Constitution
    He ran the most dysfunctional government in US history
    He appointed ultra conservative judges to federal courts and nominated two ultra conservative justices to the Supreme Court
    He made the USA a laughing stock around the world

    It will take generations to repair the damage he has wrought and restore the image of the USA overseas.

    Some legacy huh ?

    You mean repeating the truth? Sorry, but that's how debates work.

    If you think Trump's administration did anything good, please detail it.
    Would you include withdrawing from the Paris climate accord or wasting tens of millions on a useless border wall (which he promised we wouldn't have to pay for) ?

    I am a Conservative supporters and voted for Margaret Thatcher in the 1980's. I supported Brexit and Boris Johnson
    I rate Thatcher as the second best British PM of all time - second only to Churchill
    I also rate Blair as the worst PM - I think that although he was full of good intentions, his policies fractured the unity of the UK and his economic policies were calamitous.

    The British Conservative party is broadly similar the the US Democrat party - the share similar economic policies etc

    Trump and his borderline fascist base would brand Boris Johnson's (and Thatcher's) government as left wing "socialist"

    Back when I studied politics and Thatcher and Reagan had just been elected, I thought Republican = Conservative and Democrat = Labour
    Nothing could be further from the truth.

    Democrat = Conservative.

    Sad and pathetic, if it wasn't close to a truth.

    Lunatic fringe people like Lindell probably would go to such lengths to hang on to power.

    correction...........i did not say "lots of good" words in mouth methinks. i said everything his admin has done is garbage according to you, now i don't care who you vote for but to say that is simply ridiculous you ain't crediting the guy with one single thing at all,you are entrenched in your hatred you cannot see past the blinkers.
    you state it will take generations to repair the damage he has wrought and restore the usa's image....that is your opinion, and you are entitled to it, but do not expect everyone to agree with the points you so vehemently put, the list you put above is subject to your own political persuasion and nothing more.....maga

    He has divided some idiots bent on Americas domination Undermined the vote stealing thieves bent on succession
    His administration saw the best trade figures the country has ever had and the national start to reduce the deficit
    He has re stabilised the Middle East with 3 peace treaties and was nominated for a Nobel peace prize
    He reneged on treaties signed by the Obama which saw WHO shown up for the corruption within and the China trade deal which only benefited the Biden's
    He brought back trust in the office of PotUS and showed America you can have a president who will do what he promised in the election
    He ran the most efficient government in US history building the wall and destroying the democrats caging of children
    He appointed unbiased judges to federal courts and nominated two forward thinking conservative justices to the Supreme Court who were elected by a majority vote
    He made the USA great again and recognised as the supreme leader amongst the worlds
    He raised the standard of living for BAME citizens more than any other president in history
    He made a massive trade deals with Mexico and Canada
    He made America self sufficient in energy and for the first time ever made America a producer of energy
    He made the biggest ever bust of drug runners in American history due to the wall
    He showed democrat lies up when they put a wall around the capital buildings yet said for years walls don't work
    He showed the democrats the liars they are when they tried to impeach him twice without trail or legal representation before the event
    He showed the world how corrupt the Biden were in Russia Ukraine and China
    He received the biggest turn out for an election in American history including showing what the cheating the Democrats had to do to beat him
    He delivered a cure for the Chinese disease in the fastest ever time for such a pandemic by his forward thinking even overcoming the democrats blocking tactics


    i could go on all day but you have to show how stupid some people are with there hatred for an ex president , never mind she gets the chance again in 2024 when Georgia turns red again because all the avenues for cheating will be blocked

    She was and I see a lot of her spirit in Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi.

    Maggie wouldn't have taken any s**t from Trump either.

    The trouble with cretins hitting the report button, to stop others with a point of view, is that you end up with no one to listen to your rants, which is happening right before someone's eyes. Yet they are too thick to realise the facts unless it hit them in the face and has to be explained<doh>:emoticon-0181-fubar

    you appear to be getting rather confused with posters,and frankly i am not surprised....i never mentioned being pleased that trump beat clinton(although i was)
    if you check you will see that was someone else, try cnn they might help you out or any of the other msm that you seem to get a lot of info from.
    if you look at the people this side off the pond that hate trump with the same passion as you they all follow the same line....bercow,corbyn,abbott,lammy,owen jones etc etc when all this trump hating by the media has subsided and they start asking questions from the new boy and he doesn't come up with the answers, then see if the ordinary people (not your political scholars) like what answers they get...


    <laugh><laugh><laugh><laugh><laugh><applause><applause><applause>

    seems like someone's having a melt down mate must tell you though this ignore poster button works a treat i can see your talking but can only see replies when you post them<laugh><laugh><laugh><laugh><laugh>

    Read the first paragraph and you'll recognise a like mind but even he can find 5 good things that Trump did. He's a hater but his mind isn't completely closed.
