Thread: Shocked and disgusted

    Shocked and disgusted

    Sorry to use this site as a rant that’s nothing to do with football BUT.
    I’m no green peace protester,
    Just been trimming back the ivy growing over my fences in the back garden and found an old birds nest for this season,to my horror and shock it was made from probably 20% plastic. Like it say I do my bit in recycling but don’t go to the ends of the earth to do it, but this has really sent a message of how bad it’s become.

    Up the reds, looking forward to a tough but exciting season ahead.

    Not to belittle your post Jack but I'm shocked & disgusted with 2 sporting events this afternoon.
    Firstly with the game in their grasp and Pakistan struggling to score more than 2-3 runs an over against spin, the Afghan captain brought himself on to bowl and got smashed for 18 in his first over, then bowled the last over with Pakistan needing 6 to win.
    He missed a run out and conceded an overthrow off his first ball then got hit for 4 off his second - game over.
    Threw the game single handed.
    Secondly Ryan Moore riding the evens money favourite in the Irish Derby gave a 33/1 outsider a 30 length lead and failed to reel him in despite easily having the better horse.

    I find it shocking too Jack that our mass consumption causes so much harm to the wildlife around us .

    Man has much to answer for .

    Hodges are you really trying to say that two sporting result have the same level as the ruination on this nation,
    Wow man get real, who gives a toss about a horse race compared with the end on the world as we know it,
    Get some realism, or are you just trying to be facetious.

    I'm afraid that the "let the market decide" politics is coming home to roost [no pun intended]
