Quote ="wrencat1873"Sorry, orange boy but, the use of "surrender monkeys" in the context that you used is from a bygone era and you really should know better.'"
This era you speak of has become "bygone' pretty sharpish. Access to the internet, the Me Too movement, BLM movement, taking the knee.......and a whole lot more have arrived and accelerated change in the last 2 decades and before you say it's all for the best, these things and their like delivered a few nasty things too.
Given it is accepted that the jingoistic sabre rattling of the Brexit bullcrappers swayed enough to get leave over the line, referring to the French as white flag waving surrender monkeys is hardly a capitol offence...more of a Nigel Farage/Boris Johnstone strap Line
As it as, I used the phrase to underline the absurdity of a poster bemoaning the French Governments reaction and regulation to covid. If you choose to peer past the obvious context, then so be it
Quote ="wrencat1873"As for Carter "posturing", if ANY rules change part way through the season, it necessarily skews the competition or, are you happy with the "make it up as we go along" ethos.'"
Not sure where you've been the last 2 years, but this is currently a "liquid/fluid" scenario and rules will change.......is it fair? Probably not, but neither is Covid 19....it kills indiscriminately and no matter how far you travel on your bus pass to away games, the sovereign right of a nation to pass and enforce laws is slightly more important than 2 points in a battle for bottom of the table supremacy
