@CleansedTweets Dreadful, even for the time. ITV broadcast a British version of Charlie's Angels around the same time: Cats Eyes. It was a steaming pile of turd too. 1980s TV shows were very poor. Less demanding public I suppose.
@nimishdubey Good club footballer, talented, skilful, but habitually vanished during games against opponents with an aggressive midfield. Very similar to Barnes, another busted flush in the England jersey.
@DavQuinn Russophrenia, a debilitating disease currently plaguing EU and US MSM.
Russian Army close to taking Kostantynivka. Western MSM outlets are talking about imaginary Russian collapses. UK media are swimming in an orgasmic sea of Russian collapse while their own country sinks.
@chelidon23@CSBlenner You're going to be bitterly disappointed. No matter, the Ukrainians have and will pay a price in blood for European and American geopolitical hubris.
@chelidon23@CSBlenner You're reading too much western propaganda. Ukraine is in serious trouble, which probably explains Putins calm refusal to meet Zelensky. EU is on its last legs too. A sensible European leader would have continued good relations with Russia and ended US meddling in foreign policy.
@ninjarifter@EwanMacKenna England Admiral kits were a mixed bag in my opinion. The kit in the 76 game is very nice, but they produced a shoddy version in 79 I think. 82 admiral kit was class (especially the "away" garnet red with navy blue shoulder flashing). Love ๐ฎ๐ช 70s kit. Went a bit arty farty in 88.
@ninjarifter@EwanMacKenna Ireland kit was beautiful. Generally speaking, kits in the 70s and early 80s focused on vibrant national colours. No names in the back and not covered in fifa fair play badges. French kit from 82 was beautiful as well.
@chelidon23@CSBlenner Russia will defeat Ukraine. It's not being reported in the western MSM, but they are close to taking Kostyantinivka. The means Ukraine loses another important supply hub. This is already a disaster for Ukraine, and it's going to get worse.
@chelidon23@CSBlenner Richard, there have been myriad sanctions imposed on Russia by EU/US. EU/US have been supplying Ukraine with weapons and bankrolling Zelensky. That does not strike me as appeasement. Ukraine is being used and abused by the European and US political elite to weaken Russia.
@EwanMacKenna Probably the best team Ireland ever fielded (76 - 82). Dodgy decisions in favour of home teams ensured missing two world cups, 78 and 82. The Bulgaria game in 77 in Sofia was a travesty. Same with Belgium in March 81. Too many odd decisions for it to be coincidence. Disgraceful.
@chelidon23@CSBlenner There hasn't been any appeasement Richard. WW3 isn't far off and that can be attributed to NATOs unwillingness to enter any diplomatic discussions. Recall that it was Boris Johnson who told Zelensky to continue fighting, when a settlement was close (Istanbul 2022).
