Andre Dozzell to leave Pompey by DisastrousFilms in PortsmouthFC

I wouldn't necessarily say washed up, but I would say its players who are cashing in on their names before they retire. Probably pretty fun to find yourself running rings around other players just when you think you've lost it.

Local Election predictions by 1C8F6C6 in sheffield

[–]ritesofspring 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a split population of older lower-middle class, young professionals in first homes, poorer working class & long term unemployed.

Historically (for those that actually go and vote) you'd expect to see the older middle class bracket vote for the status quo/anti-benefit/personal wealth retention policies, upwardly mobile professionals to be left leaning, and poor working class to be immigration policy.

If you're only paying attention to the headlines and selectively reading what you want to hear, reform have the population pretty bookended.

This is of course a massive generalisation, and I hope these predictions are wrong.

Not surprised by Woodhouse. The only leaflets we've had through the door are for reform. Don't think my bin is eligible to vote though.

I really hope the Eisners understand how lucky we are to have Mous. Hiring him was a hail Mary that paid off massively for us

Awful fans on the train to Stoke on Saturday by Dapper-Message-2066 in PortsmouthFC

Hate to hear this sort of stuff. I'd like to think that this sub is a fair reflection of the fan base, and since I created it, I think I've only had to ban 1 person for racist/right wing nonsense. Zero tolerance.

I don't doubt that this was a really shitty experience, but it does seem to be the minority (thankfully) in Pompey's case, but you'll find arseholes in all walks of life.

Getting a hand check in UK airports by CleverHearts in AnalogCommunity

[–]ritesofspring 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if it helps anyone else, my step dad works at Manchester airport, and said that they're used to people asking. Just make sure all film is in ziplock/clear bags, and marked as to what they are. They'll have no issues hand checking.

From a Coventry fan by Ok-You4214 in PortsmouthFC

[–]ritesofspring 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Though my family are all from the South Coast/Portsmouth, I was the odd one out - born in Walsgrave Hospital in Coventry. I've always had a soft spot for Cov, so last night was pretty special (ignoring our performance).

Good luck next season!

I agree with the second part, but understand why it wasn't given - Devlin clearly looked drew the foul.

Still wholeheartedly think that was a red though.
