Dubois Vs Joyce / Whyte Vs Povetkin unlikely to go ahead

I’d be happy starting off in League 2. Think most fans of both clubs would agree.

 

Yeah suprised Holbrook left your mob to go to the Titans. I'd understand if he left for a decent team but the Gold Coast have been struggling for a while now with no-one turning up to their games and rumours surrounding them being replaced for a 2nd Brisbane side. I get that he wants to coach in the NRL, but I think he would have been better off leaving the Titans job alone.

Yeah Woolf has done great things for Tonga, but he's never been the head coach of a professional club outfit. He's a bit of an unknown quantity at club level and I'm suprised St Helens didn't recruit a more experienced coach as there are plenty down here who don't have gigs atm.

 

Mind you I speak for Rangers here. Not sure many English fans would be welcoming of a fan base that chants support for the IRA and mocks the murder of Lee Rigby.

 

Yeah, I think Super League is used as an apprenticeship for aspiring coaches. Holbrook was an unknown quantity when he took over and he left a champion team with lots of credibility.

 

Yes quite a few have had success from down here such as Nathan Brown, Shaun McRae, Bluey McClennan, Matt Elliott etc before taking on an NRL gig. It'll be interesting to see how Woolf goes.

 

I think both sides of that particular coin are as bad as each other. The sectarianism associated with both teams is only slightly less pathetic than the attempts by fans of either to suggest the other is worse. Akin to a Liverpool fan and a Man Utd fan arguing about whether it's worse to sing about Munich or Hillsborough.

 

Fook me the Tony Pullis team

 

Absolute vermin mate.

Rangers and Celtic would be a great addition to the EPL and would soon be top ten clubs with all the wonga down here.

Too many football pudding clubs down here including Burnley, Bournemouth, Southampton etc with the sole ambition of standing still and keeping the wonga.

At least Rangers and Celtic would have title ambitions once they found their feet and got their share of serious wonga.

 

Hello TrollyHayers !

Actually, yeah, pretty much is what NasalSpray was saying :
NasalSpray : "Unforgiven you're wrong, your logic is flawed, you don't understand the advancements we've made in automation and technology are almost at the point where large unemployment is gonna be a sustainable reality in the near future anyway."

I mean, what exactly is the point here ?
We can afford to collapse the economy and put masses people out of work and keep them out of work because of advancements in "automation and technology" ?
That seems precisely what was said there.
In other word, mass unemployment wouldn't matter.

 

The article you posted is saying the workers replaced by automation will have to find new work.
It doesn't say anything about those 30% of workers being unemployed as 'sustainable'.
In fact it seems to state the opposite, that policymakers and business will need to act to keep the workers employed.

I haven't said the world won't go on. The world will go on if we all get coronavirus and a percentage of us die from it too. That's where this whole argument began. The world will go on whatever happens, I agree. It's a debate about what could be the biggest danger to us, the virus or a world economic collapse (that could rival that of the 1930s).

Yes, let's all hope things are not too bad either way. Agree or disagree, I'm not here to bring anyone down or start arguments. I got dragged into that when expressing my opinions in a non-personal way I seemed to attract personal attacks from various angles.
That's the internet for you, I guess.

Have a good day.

 

Oh spare me. You were called an idiot because your 'opinion' seems to be at odds with pretty much the entirety of medical expertise and you got upset when people said your comments about society collapsing and millions dying sounded like scaremongering. 'The internet today' could easily be summed up as 'people who don't know much about the subject they're talking about behaving as though they have some understanding of it.' This is fundamentally one of those situations.

Wuhan has had its first day of no cases reported this morning and the papers are saying that after just under two months lockdown they could be two weeks away from having the lockdown lifted. I can only assume that their society hasn't completely collapsed into a swirling mire of bloodshed and revolt as you predict it will here. Sorry if I'm taking you out of context again. Presumably when you write things like 'millions upon millions will be made to die' you might mean 'we'll have to be very bored for a few months and then we'll largely go back to what was happening before with some learnings to take and financial hardships to endure.' I don't know; you're quite confusing.

 

Take a look at what is happening to the world economy and markets, take a look at the economic growth forecasts for major nations. Everything is on a downturn that has come on sharply. China is beating the virus, yes. But China's economy is unstable and growth has ground to a halt, in China of all places. The car industry in China is still teetering. This is the worst China has been hit in recent decades. And even that alone would have serious effects on the world.
The real effects won't be felt for a few months, maybe a year or so. Just like every other time in history. It's just started. Many experts are saying this is likely to be more severe than the world slump caused by the 2008 financial crisis, and worst since the Great Depression of the 1930s.

 

You talk about 'millions and millions being made to die' and 'society being destroyed' yet repeatedly reference the 2008 financial crisis.

Can you not see how your predictions in comparison to that event seem overblown? Nobody is suggesting the 2008 crisis was not a major event with significant impacts, but absolutely nowhere near the levels you are talking about.

 

That's debatable. You would have to study the wars and conflicts and rise of political extremism in the world since then, and research their connection to the world economic recession, (with would not be insignificant), to truly measure the true effects and significance of the event.
