Weeeelllll..... Say if aimaad was a work colleague and you were quizzing him about his beliefs and openly laughed in front of witnesses about some of them and somebody reported it. You'd be on a spot of bother with HR at the very least. I know this is the Internet and this does sound very pious and PC but it proves a point in a way. The road to real trouble between communities starts with this sort of small time stuff. Of course it begs a much bigger question, should we tolerate intolerance?...it's tricky, it's the line between freedom of speech and respect for any religion. You don't respect Islam, fair enough, but the right to religious expression is enshrined in EU and UN conventions.

Am wondering if you're aware of how close you are to mocking aimaads religion here? It's ok, am not offended am am not intending on taking offence on behalf of aimaad himself. Are you just taking the piss out of his beliefs as an excercise in freedom of speech, because of the events of Friday night (which as several posters in this thread have tried to explain has fairly little to do with mainstream Islam in general) or because he's a lone voice on here 1000s of miles away on the end of a broadband connection? Mixture of all 3?... Fwiw I tend to agree with a lot of what you say but phrasing it in the manner you're doing is abusing the freedom of speech you appear to be claiming full rights to here. With those rights comes the responsibility to use them carefully and taking the piss out of the single(?) poster on here who can give real insight into how mainstream Moslems think is for me abusing that right as much as you're abusing aimaads beliefs.

Fair play to elderly Belfast proto-punks Stiff Little Fingers.... Many have cancelled, for various reasons... http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/article/34826099/foo-fighters-u2-and-eagles-of-death-metal-cancel-gigs-after-paris-attacks Don't know what I'd do, its a tricky one...

We know already that Jeremy Corbyn will not help. There was a time when Labour could be relied upon to fight totalitarian regimes such as the Islamic caliphate ruled by Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the self-declared Caliph Ibrahim. I wonder if Corbyn has read Sami Moubayed’s superb book, Under the Black Flag, which describes precisely what life is like in the hell on Earth created by the zealots of Raqqa. I wonder, too, if the Labour leader agreed with the article posted by Stop the War but since withdrawn, headlined “Paris reaps whirlwind of western support for extremist violence in Middle East”. As tasteless as the piece was, it captured accurately the Corbynite belief that Islamist terrorism is the consequence of western foreign policy. And there is no doubt that the errors of Iraq, Guantánamo and extraordinary rendition have oxygenated the millennial death cult that inspired seven militants (at least) to kill as many Parisian civilians as they could. But it is wilfully unhistorical to claim that their ideology is to be understood solely as the hideous spawn of decisions taken in the White House and Pentagon. What drove them was the same impulse that drove their forebears to burn The Satanic Verses a quarter century ago. It detects grievance everywhere, throughout history: from the Crusades to the loss of the caliphate in 1924, to the foundation of Israel in 1948, to the emancipation of women and gay people in the west. It bans music and comedy. It is violently theocratic. You could withdraw all western forces from the Middle East and north Africa, abolish the state of Israel, end America’s entanglement with Saudi Arabia – and the Islamists would describe this as no more than a good start. http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/nov/16/isis-britain-david-cameron-air-strikes-armchair-generals

Agreed, but for me religion is just the conduit, or m.o. If you like. The root cause is just mans inhumanity to his fellow man. Lust for power status and wealth. Don't know if this has been posted.. http://gu.com/p/4e8b4?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

It's easy to hitch your hatred of others and lust for recognition and resources to a relgious cause and it's been practiced the world over for 1000 years or so. At the end of the day it's just men narcissistically hell bent on power,land and money using one cult (or political system, comrade, or Mr President, delete as applicable) or another to attract other evil bastards to their cause while good people sit around and stick their heads in the sand. That sadly includes us all. There's no hope for the human race, there was no hope when a few catholic Germans murdered 6million Jews in the living memory of my parents, nor was there any hope when orthodox Christians went into Srbenica and killed 6000 Moslem boys and men 20 years ago. am not comparing figures or size of tragedy or anything like that, but I don't see huge amounts of difference in any of it tbh. I know a lot of you are big on equivalence but am not really suggesting accurate or even general comparisons can be made. I think the best way I can put it is all wars are economic in some way or other, and the easiest way to trigger one is to turn one neighbour against another.

I like that but I wouldn't want HF giving me a medical examination

Listen son, it's the Internet. Round these parts we take tiny inferences and twist them till they squeal, then make a sweeping generalisation about the bastard we've just dishonestly created to prove a spurious point. Got it?

whooah! That's spooky.... You've just outed yourself as someone who takes Bill Maher as an intellectual role model though By the way, if SEW is Affleck, you're Maher, who plays HF?....."intellectually rigorous liberal minded statistician"

Because SEW accused someone he's presumably known for donkeys years of being a racist when it was just an emotional outburst to the horrific events in Paris. People seldom engage their brain before committing their thoughts to social media, He's done the same as his mate tbh, both statements are plainly stupid but let's face it not the worst thing that's happened this weekend. Or maybe I've got that all completely wrong and his mate is the Lord high grand wizard of the Chester le Street branch of the KKK and SEW has won awards for his work exposing "racism" in society in general

The CIA funded, trained and equipped Bin Laden when it suited them in the 80s and I think it's fair to say he properly let the genie out the bottle. Fundamental Wahhabism didn't really affect the west until the yanks got into bed with the Saudis for their oil. So I do think it indeed does all go back to foreign and economic policy. I don't think the west knew what it was fucking with, or thought they could control it easily, or didn't give a fuck. Probably a mixture of all three.

Top man Got to admit I've only ever driven past it, its more HMHM's sort of establishment, and Chez of course...

its in its usual spot outside the Raby, next to Chez's 88 Nissan Bluebird

Any Bernard Cornwell aficionados out there?.....have read a Sharpe or two in my time but prompted by the current showing of Last Saxon am tempted to try his Arthurian series first, anyone given them a go?

This is why we mere mortals who inhabit the nether regions of these boards don't live in a Gallic chateau with a wine cellar the size of the Leazes Park

When Clarky scored for Fulham at LR he got dogs abuse from those around us, until someone pointed out that his brother was stood just in front of us Was at the Yeading game too. Boumsong made to look a mug by non league tryers in his second(?) game for us. It was a sign

Lifestyle top trumps..a new low. Tbh (and getting back on topic) I think Pardew trounces both of them, canteen king and cockney media darling > bizarre loser persona & obscure hobbyist/teetotal PC policeman iyam....

Yeahhhhh!

My mate has said since the middle of last season that if we get offered 20 million we should take their stupid hands off. Thing is cant see anyone offering that sort of maoney.

Agree with all this. They'd also pretty much run out of ideas by the time of the Mitrovich substitution and the final 20 mins was a bit of damp squib. In a way it was a tale of two no. 2 goalies, ours was brilliant, theirs had one save to make and fucked it up. A truly terrible performance, bar Eliiot, Colo, Mbemba and Perez. The rest either didn't fancy it too much in the rain (That's you, Moussa) or were just plain old shite. Also despite his good performance Perez wants to cut out the fuckin play acting. Embarrasing.

As hmhm says afcb is the club closest to where I live in Poole. I can understand what you're saying but a lot of the lads I know are all mostly 38 games a season types. One lad hitched hiked to Ascoli in the Anglo Italian cup in 92. He wouldn't know a spread sheet from a bed sheet though...suffice to say football "anorakism" comes in many forms, and am not having a dig at you in any way (you're plainly a very smart lad and your blogs/articles are great and contribute hugely to seeing the owner of nufc for exactly what he is) but for me it seems it's a different side of the same coin.

Last time we played these in the league... Sat 09-Sep 1989 Bournemouth (a) 1-2 Quinn 3 Moulden 24,65 att: 9,982 Think I'm right in saying @@Howmanheyman was in attendance..

5 at the back?? Robson was getting a bit of stick that season as far as I remember...things like this may explain it..

I've been waiting for this game for nearly 25 years edit...just to say if it was all just about the football away support at football matches wouldnt really exist..
