OT perspective/ Ukraine/Russia

[Trickytreesreds]

Tbf, Swale, I’m far from one who believes all they read in the media and I remain mightily grateful to Biden for ridding us of Trump.
I also however have very close family in the U.S. - people who also despised Trump and the Right - and they make me aware of Biden’s shortcomings as a leader.

Biden isn’t - and never will be - a great leader. He is just a blessed relief after the dangerous imbecile he replaced, although I do accept your point about the other assessors and decision makers.

As regards the rest of your post I can only agree with virtually all of it, and not - as our semi resident crackpot suggested a couple of days ago - because, apparently, I’m scared of you.

Semi resident crack pot?

Now what wa you saying about internet bullying?
FFS, you are really are a gem RA.

Oops...is this my opportunity to say, ‘Oh...I was only joshing’?

But seriously...what’s not true? You are ‘semi resident’...you’re a Forest fan on a DCFC forum. More to the point...anyone who seriously suggests that someone agrees with another person on a forum because they’re ‘scared’ to do otherwise is a ‘crackpot’.
Hardly the biggest of insults Tricky, look it up, and certainly not bullying...doesn’t begin to compare with some of the insults and insinuations you’ve chucked my way but if it’s upset you...well, what can I say?

I'm not sure if you're old enough rA, but there used to be a poster on here called Smithy in the Bloomer-Rat days who used to scare the living **** out of me even from 100 miles. Probably a founder member of DLF, and also EDL I'd suspect.

I am not upset in the slightest. It's you that goes off on one, like a big girls blouse.
The fact remains, you saw fit to reply to another poster with a dig at me.
That is bullying, no mater what the form or scale.
Basically buttercup. Don't dish it, if you can't take it.
Thats for free xx

I’m sure I’m old enough, GP - a year older than you I believe - but obviously not long established enough to remember anyone called ‘Smithy’.
Find it hard to believe. I mean...you dish it out more than most...but I’ve never known anyone to be scared of you...well, not that I know of. What did he do to ‘scare the living wotsit’ out of you?

P.S. Thanks Tricky...I’ll treasure that. Actually it was the first opportunity I’ve had to ‘speak’ with Swale since you announced to the forum that I only agreed with him because I was ‘scared’ to do otherwise. Just clarifying that my agreement (partial) on this occasion wasn’t born out of fear...which I suspect he already knew.

It was more a question of threatening physical violence if you disagreed with him. I recall various people being called out to meet him before games for a "good thrashing"

Hmmm...still don’t get it. I mean it’s not as if you’d ever be daft enough to turn up or he knew who you were. Probably a fantasist anyway.
Either way...back on topic...I see the first Ukrainian refugees have arrived in Derby where some good folk in Oakwood have provided them with a roof over their heads.

I see the first Ukrainian refugees have arrived in Nottingham as well - they asked to be put on the next plane back to Kiev

That's because they were in awe of our new football team, sweeping all before them. The Russians scared them less.

I can imaging the first conversation with the Ukranians and Derbyites.

We Ukranians are very family orientated.

So are we in Derby, we marry each other
