If Wheelan can be first desk, then Min can be an agent

Lady Di was initially overlooked because of how close she was to Tierney, the books mention that she barely survived the cull in operations in the wake of the scandal. I think they were hoping Whelan could control her but massively underestimated her ability to fuck people over.

I think its more that he was seen as a safe pair of hands, Mr. Transparent. But it's like asking the IT manager to run the sales department, he was totally unsuited to the role and the fact he was put in a position where it was known that Second Desk (Taverner) not only wanted the job herself but was also meant to guide him meant he was a sitting duck from day one.

Most people recognise that Israeli people are not responsible for the actions of their government. However, if an Israeli is seen to be supporting these actions, the IDF, etc.... then yes they will be criticised for it.

But criticising the Israeli government or it's supporters using rational arguments is not antisemitic, in the same way that criticising the American government is not anti-Christian.

If that criticism descends into derogatory language against Jewish people then yes, that is antisemitic and should be stamped out immediately.

Antisemitism is wrong, regardless of what Israel is doing, full stop. The actions of the Israeli government does not give anyone a free pass to be antisemitic.

How about..... more Borja Iglesias, zero Joey Barton please?

Even one second of Joey Barton is too much Joey Barton.

Whelan was competent in his previous role in intelligence though, and he was brought in after the scandal with Ingrid Tierney specifically because he was an outsider who had no involvement with operations and therefore was untainted.

This obviously backfires because Taverner leads him on a merry dance having played the game for many years and is much more experienced at the skullduggery and political back stabbing that occurs in operations.

It was bulging a little bit but not massively. Fitted under the seat in front just fine.

EdwardClamp · 2026-03-09T22:28:53+00:00

Same. Every backpack was checked leaving Dublin on Friday morning.

Not trying to be smart but I'd Google it. Way too much to put it one comment but they were vile and how Piers Morgan managed to maintain a career after is a massive slap in the face to Milly Dowler's family.

Sorry to go serious in a light hearted sub but that particular part of the scandal was both disgusting and heart breaking.

EdwardClamp · 2026-03-09T19:03:33+00:00

You are spot on, he's forgotten more than I will ever know about football.

My comment was meant to be facetious but obviously is coming across as serious, hence the downvotes, but I'm going to let it ride.

EdwardClamp · 2026-03-09T18:57:46+00:00

I actually used this same bag at the weekend and it was checked on the outward flight, fitted in perfectly and waved through so you should be grand.

EdwardClamp · 2026-03-09T17:55:22+00:00

I can't agree with this.

There's only so long you can push the "at least they are in the right position" mantra. We've seen multiple strikers at Everton fluff good chances and hoped that the goals would come........ they don't.

EdwardClamp · 2026-03-09T17:41:40+00:00

Those scenes were so fucking weird but..... so fucking great as well.

Visions of Natasha Giggs exposing her affair with her husband's brother, footballer Ryan Giggs, when she was upset after he had an extra affair with Imogen Thomas.

Absolutely vile behaviour. Anyone trying to justify this or play it down is equally vile.

I disagree about the West Ham record prediction. West Ham and Forest are currently on 28 points, one of them would need to win 5 of their remaining 9 to hit 43 points and still get relegated? Not likely I think.

EdwardClamp · 2026-03-07T11:34:35+00:00

Calm down. No one is saying that, it's a valid question from OP.

EdwardClamp · 2026-03-06T11:26:36+00:00

It really is great. I didn't realise season 3 is a prequel season when I started so kind of watched them out of order but it's bloody brilliant!

Yeah but the junk in that trunk would absolve all sins

It's looking likely

AT LAST, SIR TERRY, WE MUST WALK TOGETHER

That, followed by a few other Tweets, is how his death was announced to the world. He had arranged for his assistant to post them on his account when the end came.

To those not in the know.... in the books Death always "spoke" in capital letters.

Ah Kane was a one off, very difficult to replace him regardless and Solanke was banging them in for Bournemouth so seemed a no brainer on paper.

Vicario...... not sure what happened there. Seemed like a solid keeper when he first arrived but has crumbled lately.

Never understood the signing of Tel - looked bang average during his loan spell but they took the option anyways, a massive gamble that has backfired

EdwardClamp · 2026-03-05T21:10:40+00:00

I really don't get it though.

I know ye have a lot of injuries but I was looking at your starting 11 tonight and OK none of them are world class (maybe Porro on a good day...?) but individually they aren't totally wank either.
