But nobody said it was harmless, merely the chances of dieing are tiny which is correct.......or do we all have stick by the same narrative ? I'm not talking about whether it's harmless or not, I'm trying to convey to you why your analogy didn't make any sense. I absolutely agree my analogy wouldnt make sense if the previous comments in question were belittling the affects of COVID on victims, but it wasnt, so consequently not sure what you are on about. Quoting facts should not be hurtful to anybody, and hence my analogy demonstrates how ridicouloius it is to try and close down genuine discussion for fear of upsetting somebody.

I presume most subjects will be taboo with you then......better not mention going for a beer because some readers may well have family or friends that have been seriously impacted by alcoholism!! I think you're misunderstanding the point. No one is saying don't talk about it. They're saying be careful what you say. To correct your analogy, it wouldn't be not mentioning alcohol, it would be more like 'saying that alcohol is harmless would upset those whose relatives have died from alcoholism,' which is plainly a reasonable statement. But nobody said it was harmless, merely the chances of dieing are tiny which is correct.......or do we all have stick by the same narrative ?

I am embarrassed by some of this on here if readers of this thread have had family or friends who have died or are seriously ill this would upset them greatly, think the mods should delete this asap.

Quite surprised by the responses here. I’d have thought anyone who looked at the data worldwide wouldn’t be fearful at all. I certainly am not, and I’m in an at risk group! The chances of death are minuscule unless you’re over 80 or seriously unwell. I would have thought people are getting a bit tired of the mishandling of it. Plenty of countries in asia with single digits and tiny health budgets who aren’t seeing their lives destroyed Behave ffs. Go and have a wander round the ICUs in this country, speak to the actual doctors treating people every day and then tell us all that it’s nothing to worry about. And the issue isn’t just death, my mate’s wife beat covid months ago but she can’t get out of bed because the after effects are continuing to rob her of her energy some 9 months later. Imagine the bill the country would face for long covid care if we just allowed it to run through the population? Seriously, you “it’s just a cold” people need to give your heads a serious wobble. Suggest you start having a word with donut loving brigade then, because obesity causes more deaths and is a far greater strain on the NHS than COVID ever will be

Absolutely, 100%, but of course many will not declare it, for fear of being labelled racist. Then how do you know it's true? I don’t....you asked me what I believe....and that is what I believe!! Just like some on here believe a supporter is racist just by a noise they make!!!

Totally agree, but nobody is against an anti racism movement, evidenced by the fact that nobody has had any issues with the Kick It Out campaign...... they are against the indoctrination of an organisation whose aim is to destroy our society, and who, you are unable to challenge, debate, disagree with, without being labelled racist, just like you have just done!! Sad thing for you, is, that, no doubt, you think you have the moral high ground and you are reflecting the views of most, but trust me, the response from Millwall will have been cheered by the silent majority!! Do you really believe the majority thought it was ok to boo players taking the knee? Absolutely, 100%, but of course many will not declare it, for fear of being labelled racist.

If you’re against an anti-racism movement, that makes you racist. It’s as simple as that.

No doubt all those outraged at Millwall supporters voicing their opinion at the BLM indoctrination wont think twice about joining the Qatar 2022 Word cup band waggon........never mind slave labour and gay rights etc Absolutely not. Why would you assume that? I guarantee that all the ‘outraged’ on here will watch the World Cup, cheer on England, and by default support the Qatar tournament..their righteousness only goes so far.

Looks like we are on our way to making a laughing stock of ourselves on this one....whoever is voting for the woman goal needs to give there head a big wobble. Will be a total embarrassment if that wins..it is the sort of goal you see every week in the lowest level of Sunday morning football, imagine announcing that as our best goal of the season!!!!!! Laughing stock to some; progressive and right on to others. The media would lap it up 😂 Personally I think it would be hilarious so I'm all for it, if Kilgour doesn't get it. Progressive??? selecting a goal, based, not on quality, but simply because it was scored by a women is condescending more like...no problems with including womens goals, just need to be there on merit which clearly is not the case here

You’ve gotta laugh otherwise you’d cry. Seriously this sort of sh** doesn’t happen to any other normal football club. No of course it doesnt, Bury or Bolton ring a bell...how about Sunderland languishing a number of places below us.

Running his contract down.........TL gave his all for this club, his partnership with Craig last season was vital to remaining in league 1, I am not aware that he missed any games through injury, always gave 100% despite being in a position that with only months remaining on his contract a bad injury could have destroyed him both career wise and financially. Therefore he deserves total admiration for his approach. In contrast Taylor is an utter t*sser who has basically spent the last 3 years taking the p*ss out of Rovers with various social media offerings etc...no double standards, one is a legend the other a complete c*ck! Agree with all you said about what Tom L did for us. He was great for us and we were great for him. Everything you said about Tom L is true. But he did run his contract down, dress it up as much as you want but that’s what he did. He made a decision about 18 months ago to do what he did, fair play to him you might say. And yes MT is probably what you say he is. My point was I find it bizarre that we got £300k for MT yet TL goes for nothing (b***** all) and MT gets death threats! That is pretty factual. Sorry if you don’t either like it or agree with it but I think it’s pretty accurate. And I’m as p***** off as anyone he signed for the other lot. And beating them 3-1 and taking the three points was the best part of the afternoon! UTG! Not sure why you find it bizarre? football is unlike any ordinary business, the rivalries and passion is what makes it so fantastici......the £300k figure is irelevant even more so when you account for TL playing for 8 years and twice as many games as Taylor. In my eyes running a contract down implies feigning injury, missing games, half hearted effort etc, none of which applies to TL

I booked tickets for Accy and Brighton at the same time and could only print out the Accy one. Now I’m left wondering how to print our my Cup one. Anyone know if office is open Monday? UTG! Have you not got a smart phone to simply flash the barcode?

Lockyer was always going to grow to be too good for this level. He was a great servant for us and I don’t hold it against him at all for wanting to leave and better himself. The only thing I’m bitter about is that we didn’t get a fee for someone who was one of our best and most consistent players, was a product of our academy, is a senior international, and was probably worth at least a mil or two. Agree completely. It’s a sign of how good he was when he was with us that he gets little stick for running his contract down knowing we would get nothing for him. And I do find it very bizarre that Matty T plays as large a part in our success, signs a short term contract, with conditions I know, but ensures we get something for him, £300k (?) and some of our fans are happy to make his life a misery. By the way I understand the reason why but I still find it bizarre and looking like double standards. Hey ho, as I’ve said we move on, UTG! Running his contract down.........TL gave his all for this club, his partnership with Craig last season was vital to remaining in league 1, I am not aware that he missed any games through injury, always gave 100% despite being in a position that with only months remaining on his contract a bad injury could have destroyed him both career wise and financially.

good luck to him, hope he plays a load of games. will be interested to see how much he plays. Personally, think he'll struggle to stay/get in the side. If he can improve his passing he’ll make it in the championship, if he doesn’t then expect to see him back in league 1 within a year. Good luck Tom and thanks for everything. UTG Because of course all those current Championship / Premiership centre halfs have fantastic passing ability....TL was quality for us, and this constant dig at his passing ability is pathetic, lets just accept him for what he was.......a brilliant defender for us.

They all seem to do better business than us, but in reality they really don't. Agree to disagree. Other clubs sell top goal scorers for 500k, 1m +.. our go to our local rivals for a steal at 300k. Jesus, how you and others just don’t grasp the basics of this deal is beyond me. The only reason Taylor was prepared to sign another contract was if we inserted the 300k release clause. Without it he would not have signed, he would have gone for nothing and we would have missed out on 5 months of goals. What part art of this do you not understand??

Tom Lockyer- Great player Club Captain ,Over 250 appearances, Welsh international. Question Where would he have been without the backing of all the Managers at Rovers? made a regular player at a young age and fully backed when he went through poor runs of form if he goes on a free as is being suggested then my opinion of him is that he is no better than the Snake. Where is the class of Rickie Lambert who signed a new deal knowing that the club would sell him and make a good amount of money from it? Sorry Tom but if you have allowed your contract to run out then shame on you. Pathetic, TL has been superb all season, never less than 100% even though of course a bad injury would have been a massive issue for him. He leaves with my best wishes..and thanks for 8 years, anyone who thinks differently should take a good look at themselves

Wael and Starnes both told me before the game that he goes for nothing. All they could say was, that’s football...... That’s Bristol Rovers, is what they should have said Yes that’s right, I bet Bradford, Walsall, Scunthorpe and Plymouth all have their player contract stuff well sorted.....damn you Rovers!
