Spoken like a true dumb ass Thicky, living in your own bubble of *******s and talking *******s as well. I'd put the cider away mate, your only demonstrating how thin skinned you are as all your claims for Brexit are shown to be false, just like "project fear" said they would be- But of course you dumb ass Brexit voters will claim now that it was the Johnson Government that didn't deliver it - which is true, but only because in reality there was no way any of the promises could be delivered!
Mind you it seems 63% of voters now believe Brexit was a failure and would welcome closer alignment with the EU, its coming matey, and your right wing fascists in Reform or UKIP (who by the way would shaft you just like the Tories have) won't be able to stop it!
Oh yes I do occasionally like to see what utter drivel your posting or sometimes somebody quotes you and I have no choice to read it, but by and large I don't bother.
Anyway toodle pip old chap, must be time for another therapy trip to Thailand surely, as it seems your blood pressure is getting very high!
Reform the opposition in2 years, now that is funny!!
Thanks for the usual tiresome ticking off but no I didn't miss your point, or rather your second point, which was 'I can’t think of another example of a sportsman/person who has profited more from one individual action'. As an existing national icon, Maradonna's financial and reputational profit from the hand of God was, I would suggest, incremental, wheras Armstrong elevated himself from a better than average but no better than that cyclist to a worldwide superstar and Sheryl Crowe's boyfriend FFS, AND amassed a wealth that is rumoured to have maxed out at $220m and is still over $50m.
My opinion stands slightly corrected. The page I read following your earlier post showed him only scoring one goal in that game. The outside of the left foot goal I described earlier. The fact is that he did, indeed, score a 2nd. He ran 15 to 20 yards before shooting. Half of that run was in the penalty area, the rest very close to it and pretty central. Not a point where you'd want him to have a free kick or penalty attempt from and would be the reason he wasn't put 10 feet in the air.. His goal against England started with him collecting the ball inside his own half, much of the movement was down the right hand side of the pitch and in areas where teams would happily scythe someone down. There is a vague similarity but, again IMO, not a significant one.
Lol...soooo predictable! No ‘rear seat’...merely a simple observation. The worst thing Swale referred to you as - apart from (accurately) describing your beloved Brexit as a ‘sh1t show’ - was ‘deluded’. Did that really warrant such an enraged and bitter response?
See your Christmas spirit still seems in somewhat short supply.
No ‘ticking off’ - just disagreement - Mr. Moderator...Sir! I take your point, but it’s a different one. Sure Armstrong benefitted economically from his cycling achievements and sure they were later shown to have been the result of cheating via his use of certain substances.
Maradona however actually broke the rules during a game in a way which everyone - apart from the officials apparently - knew. I can’t be certain what the rules were regarding deliberate hand ball at the time but I suspect he should have been sent off.
Instead he has been glorified, where Armstrong was disgraced, and Argentinian fans have since treated him as some sort of God...the hand of whom Argentina’s World Cup success in 1986 has since been attributed to.
I can’t think of another example of sporting success being achieved via such clear and obvious breaking of the rules only for the miscreant to then go on and be idolised as a result and, no matter how much you might want it to be, the example of Lance Armstrong is entirely different imo.

Not in the slightest.
It doesn't matter how offensive Swale is, you never say zip.
You are the equivalent of Switzerland. Never saying anything against someone who may violate their neutrality, but being critical when they can get away with it.
I'd have more respect for you, if you quite rightly ctiticised everyone equally. The personal insults/insinuations of my holiday home. In fact he actually makes offence at a whole nation. Or are you blind?
But as said before, he intimidates you, I get it. Better to not get noticed.
It's ok to stand up to bullies,
Merry Christmas.
Don’t be so ridiculous. So now you’re the victim of Swale’s bullying and I’m ‘intimidated’ by him. You’ve written some rubbish on here but that takes the proverbial biscuit.
To be clear...I couldn’t give a stuff about what he says about your ‘holiday home’ or your activities in Thailand. Perhaps the attraction is the climate...the landscape...the beaches...the availability of cheap s exual servility...or the food. Maybe a combination of all five or something else altogether...I wouldn’t know. It’s just banter and the type of banter that all single men who disappear off to a place with Thailand’s reputation probably experience.
I don’t think I’ve ever mentioned your Thai activities, but the point is...Swale said little to enrage you...he just laughed at your suggestion about ‘Reform’ and you, aided and abetted by our moderator, suddenly chucked your toys out of the prom.
Likewise, as soon as I mention anything you rush to identify me as Swale’s ‘rear gunner’. It’s ludicrous and yet when Andy does exactly the same in your defence nothing is ever said. Funny that!
Suggest you look back at recent exchanges on the subject and try and tell me I’m wrong. Then maybe...lighten up a little. It’s Christmas.
