Leaving the EU (I never use the B word if I can avoid it)

[BillyStubbsTears]

And maybe you could explain what you have meant by the word “snowflake” when you’ve frequently used it in the past?

[Bentley Bullet]

Of course, I was pointing it at you, Just like you were referring to me when you brought the snowflake jibe up.  I was replying to your post! I know you apologised for that remark, and you went up in my estimation for doing so. I would also apologise for my namby pamby etc remark if I had anything to apologise for.

[MachoMadness]

I think the only forumer I've seen called (and myself called) a racist was Oslo, because come on now. That guy was to the right of Darth Vader.

[BillyStubbsTears]

You could also think about apologising for accusing me of calling people racist while your at it.

[Bentley Bullet]

You can show me where I did accuse you of calling people racist, or failing that, apologise to me.

I said namby pamby liberal snowflakes can't resist showing off their pretentious, holier than thou, do good attitude. They love calling anyone who disagrees with them anything from a dipshit to a racist.

I accused you of calling someone a dipshit, not a racist. I was referring to the scale that snowflakes will go to in general.

[BillyStubbsTears]

So you weren’t aiming that at me. That’s sorted.

[Bentley Bullet]

Apology accepted.

[hoolahoop]

Apology accepted.

Seems apologies are mounting up on our side eh BB - I don't think of you as a pretentious or holier than thou just a Remainer. It's great to have had you on our side from the start, upticking and generally supporting our band of brothers. Keep going with those thought - provoking posts ,you have challenged us all to constantly back up our arguments and it's working - it is with your help that we have managed to get those that didn't vote last time, to now consider voting with us and to nudge the dial slightly our way should there be another vote.
Just to clarify - by ' sides ' , at the end of the day we are just a bunch of supporters who most of the time are on the same side supporting our small town club . We are just used to having our backs to the wall. Brexit is just small fry compared to some of the campaigns we have all been engaged in over the years eh ?

Thanks, Hoola. Always happy to help. You're right about us long-suffering Rovers supporters being hardy buggers too!

Lol I knew you would take that in the spirit it was written in ..... now to somehow make the most out of this situation . We know there will be losers but somehow that has to be kept to a minimum . Do you remember that time when Swansea came to the Moat and we were playing really well under SOD . It was a night match and if I remember rightly they were the class team playing wonderful footy at the time . Anyway the up shot of it was ( bear with me here ) we lost 4-0 I think and both sets of fans walked away thrilled by the quality from both teams - they were magnificent but then so were we . I am just hoping that we get to get even the smallest win out of this, of course we went onto Wemberlee and humiliated the Weeds in front of 75,000 .

I don't want to feel humiliated and I know we are all afraid of that now. We just have to get summat out of this somehow.

Why do I mention that ,  well because we all have more that binds us together regionally than anything that divides us nationally When all this shit is still around or even gone , we will still carry the spirit of our town in us.

Yes, I remember the Swansea game. The two teams played exactly the same way but Swansea were so much better at it! I had to leave at halftime to go to a birthday party, but I was gutted to go because despite losing heavily it was a joy to watch.

It was an event that proved that life isn't all about winning, and sometimes more can be learnt from losing. That game certainly was a lesson in losing!

Happy days we've had the worst and the best in Rovers players, management and especially boardroom antics since that glorious season . Whoever would have thought we would have played at both the New Wembley and of course The Millennium stadium in such a short period of time - both times outnumbered in the stadia but victorious. Oh for a season like that again and a result like that in these negotiations ......thought I would lighten the mood a bit .

Hope you all felt a warm glow for a bit at least......

YEEEEESSSSSS my longest ever Thread !

[The Red Baron]

First time in history a thread about Brexit has got around to football. (There are plenty that have gone the other way around!)

[DonnyOsmond]

Wonder how a no deal would affect the Premier League. Will it make it impossible to sign foreign players?

Glad you appreciated it RB , just fed- up of day to day bad news.
Now what about Copps' hat trick in the play off second leg against Sarfend eh a wonder to behold.

It depends what the government decides to do about immigration rules. And they're not saying.

I think the billionaire club owners will be alright whatever happens! There'll probably be a few extra hoops to jump through which may well inflate player prices even further but I don't see foreign players being affected. Plenty of foreign players already come from outside the EU anyway.

  We have got to get away from Belgium and France, they are so good at football. I don't mind the Germans so much  now, but in the past?

Then of course there is Spain Selby, they had no right to match us at our game either .

Next thing is they will have golfers and tennis players......
