If you get a chance listen to the two callers to Stephen Nolan's show Saturday night.

Starts at 1:46 in. English fans in Danish section for Denmark game. Awful, awful behaviour - second caller alleges that English "fan" threatened her 9 year old daughter. Makes me so ashamed.

'The national footballing police lead has criticised the ?the violent and frightening behaviour of a sizeable minority? after forces across the country dealt with a record number of football-related incidents following last night?s Euro 2020 final.'

Well it's not a few louts then, far many. Better discussion on the zero tolerance thread, but think it is worth adding that as a nation we encourage excess drinking. I should know, I was p.ssed for much of my late teens and twenties. Not big or clever, but despite numerous embarrassing incidents, I never got into any situations like we saw on Sunday.

But i will pick up on one thing....Football is not a boisterous sport at all. It's actually a rather dull, sedate sport....89 minutes of passing to each other for 1min of actually shots on goal/action....its no wonder you have to be rip-roaring drunk to get through it.

I am a Rugby fan, but on the chat, you're not even close mate...we discuss HELI-Skiing...very different from a normal ski trip....much more exclusive...not a pleb in sight.


Also...it's spelt 'you're'

Actually one of my favourite English rugby players/political commentators seems to have gone missing on twitter - hope he's back soon as I like his posts :)

Yes - suspect a short ban on posting for something he said about a tory activist (I maybe wrong) :)


Hope to hear more commentating from him too.

    • It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch. It may well be the lifeline you seek. The Delicate Dilemma of the Summer-born 4+ Scholars Yours in solidarity and scholastic savvy, Lord Pencilton  🎩✏️
    • Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
    • So dangerous!    Can you be more specific about the road this was in and when you report it?  Maybe there’s some CCTV footage available
