You’ve mistaken Great Britain for Britain.
Nope. You're just an idiot.
The "great" in Britain refers to size and size alone. There's a weeee bit of debate about whether it refers to Britain being the largest of the British Isles (in a similar way to the largest of the Cayman Islands being called Grand Cayman, etc.) or if it refers to it being bigger than the other Brythonic area of Europe: Brittany. The Gaelic for Brittany, for instance, still refers to it as "Little Britain".
Happy to help0 -
What level you loaning them out to? Try and get them to the level they're at. So if 2 stars is a Championship player don't let em go to League One.
Try and get a feeder team sorted... Elgin or some shit. Help build em up to the required level and yer laughing1 -

Worth posting this here again
The next IndyRef campaign should just be showing everyone the 2014 Better Together campaign.
Vote No for cheaper energy bills, wage rises, lower inflation, to remain in the EU and we'll give ye more powers as well. Honest.10 -

I wonder what the (predominantly catholic) Neapolitans will make of the word fénian when it's being sung by the 'people'.
Probably wont know what it means. Will just shrug "che?" before stabbing some gammon in the arse and riding away on a scooter

Well, what is your line on border control, especially from countries like Albania?
55 minutes ago, Dawson Park Boy said:Well, other East or South Eastern European countries like Greece,Montenegro, Macedonia, etc.
Well we had freedom of movement with the good people of Greece for a coupla decades there without any issue so don't see why it would be an issue with Albania and other south eastern European states.

This was previously answered on this very thread. I know you're an idiot but even you can use the search function.

Don't really have a line on border control tbh. The current use of passports/visa/asylum seems to be working fine for the most part across the world.
What do you mean countries "like" Albania. Can you name other countries "like" Albania and let me know what the common links between those countries are? Hard to give an answer until I know what you mean by "like" Albania.0 -

A play with words again Asim. I personally do not see anything wrong with what he said.
Yes, you don't see anything wrong because you're an idiot, we know that. But can you explain how this is a "play" on words? Is it a pun? Double entendre? In which way is the use of words used to denote, I dunno, a kind of wit or illicit a jocular response?

Let’s be honest.
What you are probably wanting is ‘completely open borders’.
If that’s your line, fair enough. That’s your view but it’s not mine.
I suppose one advantage would be no need for passports and going on holiday would be much easier.
However, I can’t see many countries agreeing to it?
So because I thought the word "invasion" was purposefully hyperbolic that automatically means I want completely open borders?
You do jump to some ridiculous conclusions don't you?1 -

Just to confirm:
Hyperbole for comedic purpose: nasty
Hyperbole to stir up xenophobic idiots: fine

What has he said that is wrong?
Probably the word "invasion" which, generally, means an armed attack in order to conquer the existing populace. Seeing as I doubt there are sufficient numbers of Albanians to take over this island via dinghies from France and, even if there was, the complete colonisation of the British Isles is almost certainly not their aim I think him saying "invasion" if not wrong is clearly hyperbole and inflammatory language.
The world really is a worse place for having him in it.2 -

Again I disagree Asim. My opinion is a generation is 30 years. I do not think that is based on nonsense at all.
I never said your opinion that a generation is 30 years is a nonsense

I said your timelines for referenda is a nonsense.0 -

The flip side is of course also true. You seem to be denying the right of someone else to take it the other way.
Not at all. They can take it that way if they want. No-one is denying anyone from taking a clearly subjective opinion from a statement (the fact the person who made that statement has clarified the meaning doesn't seem to matter to them either weirdly).
I am not denying anyone to make up whatever definition they want. However, even if I was, I'm not denying them the right to self determination based on prejudiced viewpoint. Different thing altogether.0 -

From Yell to Fontwell and Whitley Bay to Tigers Bay, I love the place and it’s people.
And you would love them less if they were split into two nations rather than one? Suddenly Gateshead having a different foreign policy to Coatbridge would see your love for them diminish?
11 minutes ago, Fletcher23 said:I respectfully disagree with you Asim and I wont change my stance that we should not have a referendum until 2044.
Not asking you. No-one is. You have your weirdly specific timelines for referenda. Have yer opinion. I'm just pointing out that it's based on fucking nonsense.

You got this on a spreadsheet? If so could you do a quick calculation to see who has the win%?

This is why it's hard to compare. The systems are so different and the profile of player is different in terms of attributes.
I love English lower-league and non-league fitba. But what makes it great is that it's competitive, relatively unpredictable, and it has a great culture in terms of crowds, atmosphere etc.
I'd argue English non-league is a better watch. Has a wonderful mix of 6'4" mutants who can head the ball really far and 5'4" sand dancers who can beat five players then shin it out for a corner.

You choose to take it that way because it suits your agenda.
It’s perfectly plausible to read it the way we and so many others do.
Your anger should be directed toward those who drafted the white paper.
Trying to get people to vote for separatism by telling them it wouldn’t be revisited for a generation was disingenuous at best and downright deceitful at worst.
Your mob made your bed by spouting these claims, so I’m afraid you now have to lie in it.
I'm not angry. Just incredulous at people's blinkered reading styles. People must be really stupid to think it means that they are saying there can only be generational referendum. Even if they do read it that way, and believe it's plausible, they should at least be intelligent enough to understand it could be plausibly taken the other way. In which case they are denying a democratic right to self determination on the basis of their own, admittedly, personal take on a sentence rather than an objective stance. That seems remarkably selfish and self-aggrandising.

I always watch the Skybet games on Sky and the quality of the majority of the games are laughable. Long ball shite as you described and the ball is like a hot potato. I've said this before but it's boys on 5-6 large a week who can barely control a ball.
I mind going to see AFC Wimbledon v Northampton with ma mate who was a Northampton fan. Made a joke after ten minutes I hadn't seen a single pass played forwards along the ground yet and made an effort to look out for one. Came to half time and there wasn't one. Genuinely saw better passing and control in the Fort William v Golspie match the other week.
Although obviously either of those teams would have put double figures past Golpsie. They play to their strengths. But it's mind numbing and, also, explains why some Scottish players can't hack it down there. It's just not a system that suits them.2 -

He said in the future. I agree with him that in the future if the majority of Scots want another referendum we should have one. Not until a generation has passed though.
Hate to be the one to break it to you but, as that report came out in the past, we are now in the future. In fact it was three general elections ago, each of which the SNP have won available seats at a landslide. They've also won two Scottish elections in landslides in that time. Won, by far, the biggest vote share in the council elections and also were the biggest part in the European election. Seeing as there is nothing written anywhere stating referendums should be generation shouldn't the seven electorate victories for the party promoting a second independence referendum not be a barometer for wanting another referendum as opposed to grasping onto a stock phrase used by an ex-politician nearly a decade ago?

It is. You're just very stupid.
This is also, sadly, incorrect. Britannia was the original name the Romand gave the island. When they named the province they had control over of they used the island name. Similar to Luxembourg being the name of the city and the state I guess. Same name for two places with one within the other.
Also ignores the original name of Britain from the p-Celtic. Britannia wasn't made up from thin air. It was the latin transliteration of the name of the locals. (Although that doesn't mean the original Celtic name referred to the whole island. It probably didn't.)
If we were going to argue that Britain refers to E&W as it was what the Roman's called their territory it should include Brittany as it was named Brittania as well (Brittania Amorica... spelling might be off)
Britain is just a shortening of Great Britain. If it had any other meaning it would be the British Isles + Brittany
