Flags and jingo patriotism don’t feed hungry mouths, create jobs or pay our nurses and doctors.
We can have pride in our country when no one is left behind, there is true equality, and we have a fair society.
Flag shaggers won’t create that society.

As much as I hate them as a rival, I feel for the Nottingham Panthers players & their fans. I couldn’t function properly for a year after seeing my Dads dead body lying in our bathroom. Trauma is devastating in many diff ways for many different people.

🖤 Congratulations to the eight teams who have made it to the playoffs.
💛 Wasn't quite to be for us but to every single player, staff and supporter, we are so proud of you all!
Amazing, classy gesture. Thank you Todd and the Flyers! The fact that it’s this years beautiful pride jersey has extra special meaning for me 👌🏼 I’ll treasure it! Cheers ☘️🏴

Enjoy the jersey Gavin, it looks great on you!
I’m honestly not sure why any fan would think it would be ok to goad, abuse, rile, antagonise or generally hassle someone who is in emotional turmoil, has just lost a game and far far more importantly just lost a close friend and colleague. It doesn’t matter if something is

He clearly said it was made up nonsense. How often did you want him to repeat that given that he couldn’t get a word in edge ways on the rude and aggressive Fishy Rishi.

Delighted for my friends at Fife. He was a breath of fresh air for them and put together the best Fife team in the EIHL era in 6 weeks. A bit more luck, a few Brit’s and less injuries and they’re further up the table. Brings stability to that team. And I seen first hand in

I would cringe so fucking hard that my jaw would go into spasm if my team responded with this answer.
Sheffield Steelers = Phoenix Nights
It’s definitely not jealousy 😬
I think it’s really poor that Sheffield didn’t hold back any seats at all for away fans for the quarter final.
I thought it was in the League rules to hold back a certain amount until the day of the game then they are released to general sale? That’s certainly what the Giants

Yet again ZERO consistency. A partially deaf elderly Coolen gets treated like shit by officials and rightly gets frustrated but gets banned.
Russell abuses officials AND throws a water bottle at them yet just gets a fine.
Is it too fucking much to ask for consistency in

Why are police officers blaming the Tories then? The blame lies squarely with the Tories. Officers warned us all till they were blue in the face and the Tories brutal austerity cuts would destroy budgets and numbers and would have devastating consequences for crime all over

I’m sick to the back teeth of the sheer colossal cluster fuck that is the inconsistencies of the EIHL reffing and DOPs. We’ve all seen the two tiered reffing and rule implementation of this old boys club run shitshow for the smaller clubs against the big boys.

Why were so many Steeler fans booing the Giants so much at the end? Surely playing a fantastic game and taking a point off the best team in Europe and the soon to be CHL Champions with only 14 skaters is to be applauded no??? 🤷♂️😂

Rail, Power, Water, Post, all need to be renationalised. Every single one has turned into a total clusterfuck when run exclusively for profit and shareholders greed rather than the benefit of all UK citizens. Enough is enough.

I had a chat with Tom before warmup & told him I had a pint & a great chat with him & my late dad in Rockies years ago when he was Katowice coach. He remembered we got a photo together & the great chat we had.
Lovely top bloke who cares. Flyers are lucky to have him.
