@massimodutti Hi, I’ve been trying unsuccessfully to get any kind of reasonable response from your customer service department today both via WhatsApp and via X message. In both cases I have had initial response and then complete silence. Your WhatsApp service is no longer responding 🤷‍♂️

@expellgated @scotlandscoeff1 Not disagreeing that they’ve made an arse of things. The transfer fee that enrages fans is not the full picture. How much is Lammers worth? They wanted rid but were due him £1.5M/year x 3 years. The buying club get a supposed bargain with same liabilities. Only the player wins.

@KylePorterCBS I’m sure opinions will be biased towards favoured sports but the FIFA World Cup trophy is surely, by some distance, the most iconic and beautifully designed trophy ever. Supposedly also 18 karat solid gold and valued at over $20 million

[GrahamR @gjrob40]

@IanDarke Not having it. His planned subs at halftime didn’t work. The Dutch were on the ropes prior to halftime. His forced subs, everyone had been calling for earlier, or even in terms of starting eleven have pretty much all paid off. He got there eventually by circumstance.

@Carl_Portman So there is at least one sensible voice. I find it bizarre that you would just want to listen to blinkered biased comments. Maybe not a big lover of the game. BTW it happens north of the border regularly.

@FOXSoccer Rightly so, if it’s in the middle of the pitch the same ref would give a free kick

@ch4lit @PeaChannon @HelenSalmon2 @implausibleblog No, never suggested that. There are fairer ways to tax and this is a gimmick policy that I’m sure has proven popular with many. Not because of the detail but because of the feeling.

@ch4lit @PeaChannon @HelenSalmon2 @implausibleblog Good point maybe all those things should be free from VAT

[GrahamR @gjrob40]

@ch4lit @PeaChannon @HelenSalmon2 @implausibleblog Honest question but surely any kids going to private schools saves the state/local government the cost of their education. There must be an offset of some sort.

@disgracelands9 @GrahamSpiers Don’t usually debate folk with weird user names. Are you on the windup or is it for reasons of nuance or nonse? never certain of the spelling. But, yes you are correct, there are lots of examples of players getting straight red cards in the first half of Old Firms pre VAR. 🤔

[GrahamR @gjrob40]

@1810allan @GrahamSpiers Sounding a tad bitter there

[GrahamR @gjrob40]

@DameEcossaisse @Fyrishsunset @StephenJardine I can’t tell if this discussion is all parody or not. But if you could bring yourselves into even a moderately non-biased place for just a moment, this was a radio phone-in host putting very normal conversational questions to callers point of view. Why are you all so extreme?🤷‍♂️

@Mr_Andrew_Fox @draskhan @timhorsley @sionsion @CrimeGirI What’s 5000 here or there?

[GrahamR @gjrob40]

@michael16174483 @ProfBrianCox Seems you still don’t understand what you voted for and supposedly won.

[GrahamR @gjrob40]

@Billy53869586 @Margare77981019 @C4Ciaran Absolutely right. I can remember thinking, just prior to Covid, how amazing everything was. These right wing mainstream media types like Ciaran really hate the nationalist movement.

[GrahamR @gjrob40]

@kokeshimum Imagine putting your life on the line for a horrible cunt like this absolute bell end.

[GrahamR @gjrob40]

@FraserNelson I’ve seen no evidence of him being a hard truths guy, and no significant difference between him or his two predecessors. If anything he comes over as more evil, more sinister. And for a man so wealthy, what on earth is his motivation?

[GrahamR @gjrob40]

@GeneralEFC I agree in so far as that style of penalty has absolutely no place in that situation. And there is no excuse. Its just another trend. Like socks over the knee, cutting holes in socks. Pulling shorts up onto the thighs....that ultimately does absolutely fucking nothing to help.
