VT is by far the best moderated online forum I have ever read. But don’t tell the mods I said that

A really excellent cameo from Ash. Changed the game.

I hope they keep him, but they’d be absolute nuts to let this go on any longer. The man is woefully out of his depth.

There was nothing swashbuckling, free-flowing, tikitaka resembling about this performance, but it’s a massive result and one that was won on the back of increased defensive solidity and some, in hindsight, very effective subs.

The man is obviously a genius.

FFS, Ollie.

Gone down too easily there.

Getting a bit disjointed and stretched, now.

How he f*** is that not a yellow on Moder?

McGinn has started brilliantly.

I’m nervous every time they get Lamptey on the ball. Targett dealing with that threat will be key.

Ref! You f***ing numpty.

Encouraging.

Ollie inside left, Ings down the middle.

Very interesting how Ings and Watkins will line up.

If we have a fully fit midfield three of Meatball, Marvelous and Morgan, I like our chances. Let’s see what we actually have in 15 mins’ time.

I mean, I like them, but was never a massive fan. Never actually saw them live or even bought an album. Hank’s post-Turbo media persona certainly wasn’t my cup of tea, either. But man, Hank-era Turbonegro was significant as f***.

Hank von Hell, former iconic lead singer of legendary Norwegian punk rock outfit Turbonegro. 49.

I don’t read twitter. It just seemed absolutely counterintuitive that the boy isn’t legally culpable in any way. I appreciate the genuine responses.

I was genuinely asking a question. I don’t use twitter.

Can anyone please give me any kind of plausible explanation as to why this is anything but a complete and utter shambles of a verdict?

People dropping dead in the streets from COVID obviously isn’t an option. That’s hyperbole. But that wasn’t the point. To go into lockdown is admitting complete failure to make necessary improvements in intensive care and hospital capacity, a failure to vaccinate (or let oneself be vaccinated) and a failure to come up with better, more targeted approaches to a virus and a disease that isn’t necessarily very dangerous to most of those who are exposed to it. Going into lockdown again now means we as a society haven’t done a good enough job over the last two years, and would be a f***ing tragedy and almost intolerable.

Austria heading into full lockdown again, according to the news. Seems absolutely mental to me that this is still even an option, almost two years into this ****.

It’s an absolute bastard of a situation, the locals seem to have genuine worries of violent conflict resurfacing, and it’s very hard not to put the blame on Milorad Dodik and Serb nationalism.

Their t-shirts are really great quality.
