Afraid of offending people unfortunatley. We live in a world of snowflakes. Like I read last week,Trumpy boy has the code to nuclear weapons but is banned from Twitter because he upset some people. Crazy world.

If for you in sighting a riot where 4 people died can be seen as causing 'upset' I rest my case on my earlier comment on another thread.

I'm talking about wanting local press to ask Keates more pressing questions. The two are not remotely comparable. I don't know anyone who would be offended by a local rag asking Keates 'what's the situation with Devonte Redmond, given our creative struggles going forward, it's a surprise to see him getting no game time'.

Absolutely correct.

Really? That is your take on what happened and why his account was revoked?

I don't think the generals would be too keen to follow that order.

But hey you're just trolling anyway.

It’s a serious question, IMHO.

There is a vast difference between Trump authorizing a pre-emptive strike on Iran and his responding to the launch of a tactical nuke by North Korea. Both unlikely, but an outside chance of the latter.

But both have more chance than Keates selecting Redmond to start on Saturday. He is too tall, has too much ability, but doesn’t run around like a headless chicken who is one tackle away from a straight Red.

Why do you think you can call someone an overweight dwarf ?

Would you insult him if he was black ?

I like Redmond but he's player who needs to be played in a certain way to get the most out of him.

Him, Jarvis and Davies are similar in that you can tell they've all been on the books of a Premier League-level academy (I know Stoke were relegated in Jarvis' case but he was there during their stint in the top flight) but Keates' tactics remind me of watching pub teams or Sunday league games where that style of play doesn't really fit. It's why a change in management needs to be a priority for R&R - it's all well and good having the talent but if they're not played to their strengths you may as well go for less talented players but whose strengths are hoofball.
