Dokko Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 I do wonder if Scotland left if theyd accept Geordie asylum seekers. I live closer to Edinburgh than I do London and if they leave, I'd rather join them and let little England craic on and tory their way in to oblivion.  If the Tyne could be the hard border I'd be Buzzing.   Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

"some form" The UK GVT & the devolved powers use the same figures. They, the DWP, class the State Pension as a "benefit" for eg. Weird, I know. Iirc 48% of people "in receipt of 'some form' of benefit are IN WORK"  Only 1 in 8 households in receipt of housing benefit, for eg, have no one working   Anyways. Hope we sign Ekitke and "soon" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 I think this thread has now reached the shark jumping point with bad puns and discussion about Scottish politics. Â only a matter of time before someone suggests we lock this thread. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ9 Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Scotland is fucking class and no, 50% of Scotland aren’t on the dole. Back to football though please or just lock this until there is any movement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Aye let's keep this one about Ekitike. Things understandably get sidetracked when there's not much to talk about, but it must be frustrating for folks having to wade through pages of unrelated discussion when they're just after updates about a transfer.  Use the +Quote button to relocate a discussion, btw.

Rich Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Can someone please be kind enough to give us a little update of where we're at with this one? Last I saw was Romano (I think) saying it could be in a few days? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last I saw was Romano (I think) saying it could be in a few days? Â There's been different takes from different sources. Bailey and Romano claim its ticking along. Hope and Edwards have written his agent is stalling, with the former claiming he's doing so because of interest from Dortmund. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
