Without sounding like an apologist for what I agree has not been a storming tenure to date I think it’s unfair to run a narrative that they/he has done nothing. It’s pretty challenging to reverse the kind of shambles that 14 years of austerity and an ideological destruction of the state bring about. Add to that the adversity of Trumpian influence and it’s a difficult environment to perform in. Despite these economic head winds, they have put in place a number of things that are designed to have impact over a longer period - support for working people, youth apprenticeships, rebuilding public services, NHS waiting time reductions, creation of wealth funds, green energy initiatives, investment led growth etc etc. Our media will never focus on these things as they aren’t interested in talking about the bureaucratic, administrative corrections and longer term solutions. They want to amplify the missteps, and there’s been a few, to tear down the personality etc etc. I hate the fact that the measure of a good politician is all about their charisma and ability to spin a story (increasingly to just lie) but it’s where we are. Good work gets ignored and written off as not changing anything because it doesn’t take immediate hold. Economic growth forecasts have improved despite Trump and NHS waiting lists are reducing you say? Yeah but what about……

They were voted in though to be better than what the tories were and have failed miserably. Not one policy has made a difference in their near two years in office. Everything they touch turns to shit. As Mason has said, we have had over 16 years of shit thrown at us, people just want to see some positive change. Until people see some positives, idiots like Farage will just become more popular, as people are that desperate for something to cling to.

I get my away tickets from Jute in the pub. FOC. Although there is often a human cost to us collectively moaning for 3 hours while drinking lager.

Can you not still pick them up from the team bus?

Digital options for home games, although I think even that is a quid. This away game only had post or collection options available.

To be fair to Joe Public, we’ve been fairly patient under austerity measures since 2010, while watching millionaires become squillionaires. Everyone knows what needs done. The political will isn’t there to do it. Currently, that’s entirely his fault

In defence of Labour, I would say that the tolerance for political ‘establishment’ rhetoric and behaviour is extremely low among the public. We live in a world where people are really impatient for progress and change. I blame the internet, social media and Simon Cowell () for our thirst for success and things to just be right immediately. Resenoir can testify to that. Labour weren’t voted in to bring traditional Labour values and to drag the nation back to the centre, they were voted in to make the bleeding stop and it hasn’t. The world is screaming for change and to see progress and they don’t trust conventional politicians to deliver it, hence the rise of populist who tell a good story. Unless SKS was able to turn that around in 6 months he was always going to be set on fire. The media in the UK are too right wing and protective of the interests of the wealthy and powerful that he was never going to be praised for any of the good things he did to ‘fix Britain’. Farage knows this and will lays it perfectly.

Assume this is the club ‘penalising’ (and grifting at the same time) anyone who doesn’t go fully digital? I still get my paper ticket posted, do they offer a digital match ticket?

Whenever I hear him, he sounds like he’s asking for a second class return to Dottingham I keep saying it but it seems weird he would debase himself so much & trash his reputation to get a job, he had no idea how to do or any enthusiasm for doing. What was the point? It just seems that people want to be PM now because it looks good on a CV.

Just reading the article and it looks like another prick is getting lined up to replace the one that’s leaving. It’s like a never ending conveyor belt. Have you seen the state of that Kevin Warsh getting lined up for the Fed? It’s like they’ve searched the nation to find the people with the most punchable faces and given them all a job in the administration

The head of the US Navy has now quit with immediate effect. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ce9ml02g5k7o

Pretty standard throughout the UK now.

I'm rarely down at the RDS part of the ground, but assuming the old place where you used to get tickets is no more? Did you get offered a drink voucher or anything for the delay?

That's what they need more than anything. Starmer has zero charisma and you need that by the bucketful in politics, regardless of how palatable you find it.

Millwall, never seen a high proportion of backward looking fuckwits in my life … (apart from Stybrox and Septic Park). Been in both away and home ends. Really does feel like a step back in time Still, would be amusing as hell to see them in the EPL.

Yes, been some downfall and all they had to do was not be the Tories.

It's strange to think that Millwall could be playing Premier League football next season. Should be interesting if West Ham and Chelsea stay up.

Barcelona 1-0 up on Celta Vigo which puts them 9 points clear of Real Madrid in second with 6 games left to play.

Manchester City’s 1-0 win tonight puts them top of English league and officially relegates Burnley.

That's better still

I think with the aforementioned pay off from Chelsea, he could buy the club.

Last time I collected a ticket before the game, I had to collect it from a kiosk beside South Stand Section Y entrance which was annoying as I was sitting in RDS and parked on the Beach Esplanade. To top it off, they hadn’t actually even printed it off and I ended up missing the first 10 minutes of the match as there was about 20-odd people with the same problem.

It would be if it guarantees delivery. Our post down here is absolute shit. No delivery for days on end, sometimes up to a fortnight and then have an Amazonian Rain Forest in a oner.

Clears the way for him to come to Pittodrie and appoint his mate Shinnie as assistant

On the flip side, £1 for postage sounds a decent deal
