Missing the point super, what did 22,000 people being silent at Ashton gate achieve? What positive impact did it have on the current situation? No one has been able to answer that question so far. To myself, the moments silence hasn’t helped anyone in that current conflict at all. To me it just steams virtue signalling “the public expression of opinions or sentiments intended to demonstrate one's good character or social conscience or the moral correctness of one's position on a particular issue.”

He is the best manager we have ever had though, career wise, you won’t find anyone who has been better?

I think some above may have missed the point in what I was trying to say, What benefit to anyone was the moments silence today? What did it actually achieve? Couldn’t the powers at be of done something that could have helped both sides, if they genuinely wanted to help? To me it very much screamed virtue signalling. At what point do you start/stop these moments of silence, the teacher in France recently, the two swedes in Belgium, the multiple ongoing conflicts in Africa? It all seems very pick and choosey on what should be deemed an issue and what shouldn’t, when really everyone is as important as each other.

I wasn’t aware of that, but I just think they could have done something that would have had a much more positive impact than a moment silence.

Without trying to upset anyone with their personal views, what are peoples views on todays moments silence? I’m personally struggling to see what positive impact it had on the situation, there seems to be more and more moments of silence/applause for situations that the club are not affected by, or have any impact over. In the past it would had been for when a legend had passed away, a chairman etc. It’s absolutely dreadful what is happening on both sides of the conflict, Wouldn’t for example a bucket collection for aid for both sides, of been better? There were a few shouts today when it happened also, which wouldn’t help when people can have such strong differing views on the conflict.

Where’s any comments about the lansdown trying to influence selection?

How the club haven’t extended it yet is beyond me, Lansdown has been happy with many managers before to keep handing out extensions. Completely baffling how he thinks they would be able to find anyone better at the moment.

Rich, you have it wrong sorry, Find me any new builds where you as the general public can buy affordable houses, you won’t, as they all go to HA/Councils etc.

New estates need to have social housing/council houses/housing Associations, however you want to use the term. They use affordable housing as a term to get around saying it’s social housing, as let’s be honest, there isn’t many people who would be that keen on spending £500k on a new build to find next door are paying about £400 a month rent for a house. It’s also clear that it’s social housing/council houses/ housing Associations as you can’t actually buy any of these “affordable homes” can you.

I saw a video of the coach, surely it can’t be cost effective to run a 52 seater coach with around 8 people on? Wasn’t the last coach run at a loss too?

As she’s English, so that’s why I imagine she doesn’t say she’s British. Put it this way, when Scotland becomes independent, NI is integrated back into Ireland and then wales decide to leave too, does everyone then born in England magically become English as there isn’t a union or Britain anymore? But then technically Northern Ireland isn’t part of Britain but of the United Kingdom, so should unionists in NI not feel British as they arnt? Youre just changing the parameters to suit yourself. Being English isn’t the same as being welsh, like you said the cultures historically are different, the same with being Scottish but are all bought under the union of being British, you are just making this up as you go along now. You still haven’t explained what being English is, or how someone for example with immigrant parents but born in London magically become English?

Dig my way out of what? Not really sure what I’ve said for myself to have to dig myself out of, The brexit means brexit meaning was along the same lines as a brexit tackle. It’s pretty obvious nige wouldn’t allow players to be gung ho but does want a hard working no nonsense player which is what I meant under the same terms as brexit means brexit / brexit tackles. Not really hard to understand.

English, being born within the country boundaries of England as set out by internationally recognised boundaries.

You are right, a third of your list , your mate wouldn’t be English, if he is French due to being born in France, if he wasn’t born in France he wouldn’t be French. Rishi and Anis are. Born in English, are English, end of.

Please have a look at brexit tackles on YouTube, that’s what I meant by brexit means brexit, it wasn’t any relation to brexit. It’s just a modern day saying for hard tackles, I understand this is probably missed by many.

That is a shame to hear, I guess it’s no different to normal life. If you’re racist outside of football, you are still going to be a racist at football.

When you do not need to apply You’re usually automatically a British citizen if you were both: born in the UK on or after 1 January 1983 born when one of your parents was a British citizen or ‘settled’ in the UK ————/ So anyone born here in the last 40 years is automatically British, anyone born here moving forward is British. even then before 1983, you’re basically british too You were born before 1983 You’re automatically a British citizen if you were born in the UK before 1 January 1983, unless: your father was a diplomat working for a non-UK country your father was ‘an enemy alien in occupation’ and you were born in the Channel Islands during World War

You are talking rubbish, if you were born in any of part of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, you’re automatically a British citizen.

Your son was born in the Cayman Islands, which makes him caymanian with British/English heritage. Anis, was born in London, which is in england, which means he is English but with Albanian heritage. If you were born in the Cantonese region of Hong Kong, then yes of course you would be Cantonese. Ex pats in the costa del sol can’t be Spanish as they were not born there, they might get Spanish citizenship but that does not change where they were born. You seem really confused with all of this, you are basically saying you can only be English if you act English? That’s borderline racist and xenophobic, what makes someone English? Would you class Rishi Sunak as English as he was born in Southampton or Indian? Is he English enough? What about English players in the national team, who parents were born abroad, are they English? If Anis decided to play for England and not Albania (if he was good enough), does he magically become English? He certainly wouldn’t had been able to play for wales, Scotland or north Ireland, as he isn’t welsh, Scottish or northern Irish but he is English.

There were no pubs open to away fans and a very loose escort with police directing you from the station to the ground. You might get lucky if you can slip away down a side street, like a few did last year and find a pub that will let you in but there won’t be many.

He was born in England, which makes him English. He is English with Albanian family, which would be part of his heritage, but to say he isn’t English when he was born here is a terrible thing to say. Does it mean Max o Leary isn’t English even though he was born in Bath?

Phantom, it honestly wasn’t my intention. I meant brexit means brexit , like the brexit tackles videos. If anyone goes on YouTube and type brexit tackles they will understand what I meant by that, it wasn’t actually anything to do with brexit itself.

Mehmeti is British, English to be exact.

No, 100% not and think it may have come across incorrectly if people think I implied that.

How is it! Pearson isn’t a type of manager to sign flamboyant players is he, Maybe you missed the brexit part, like Chippenham red said, brexit tackles have become a menacing for hard tackles and players like Roy Keane. No, reading up on him and the lifestyle he has, I’d imagine he is more of a Lib Dem / greens type of guy.
