A question about people coming from abroad to work in the UK “nowadays” in post-Brexit Britain and you weren’t expecting a political discussion? Really?
Yes, because this is a football forum not a political forum. If grown men cant have a discussion about football without turning it into politics time and time and time again then there are some sad individuals on here, and those who agree or defend them are just as bad

Last time I checked, commenting on or reading every particular thread or even individual posts in threads wasn't compulsory.
A lot of posts and threads aren't of any interest to me, but I don't tend to complain that they've been made.

You only have to scroll back through this post to see who the main culprits are in turning this and many other posts instantly into a debate about Brexit.
I asked a legitimate question on what the rules are on signing foreign players nowadays. Quite simple really. There is no reason whatsoever to turn it into a political debate.
It the reason we now cannot sign our level of players from the EU is entirely down to Brexit. That shitty freedom of movement that was the root of all evil was actually really positive in terms of football and many more important ways. What’s even more comical is those that moan about “foreigners” coming over here can surely see that the only thing Brexit has achieved in that respect is ensuring those that do come here are now a burden on the state rather than the benefit they were before. If you voted for this then own your excrement.

But, in this instance, it’s simply impossible to keep this ‘football’, whatever that means. The laws and ridiculous decision to leave have directly impacted the workforce, in this case, the footballing workforce.

That is a valid point. And when it’s posted relating to football then that’s fine. But the usual suspects seem to just use it as a Tory bashing excuse and a chance to say ‘I told you so’ I come on here to read/discuss matters regarding GTFC and occasionally other teams. If Labour win the next election (and I suspect they will), anyone Labour bashing instead of football related will get the same reaction from me. UTM

| The wife was going away for a girly weekend. I jokingly remarked 'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football' 'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked She said 'Well you already know how to play football' |

Makes English players more valuable at all levels then. Even the big teams have to have their quota within the squad.

It's now easier for English clubs to sign players from crap countries like Brazil and Argentina due to Brexit but let's not get the facts in the way.

| When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?” |

Can you explain why as I don't think there is any element of truth or facts to back up that statement.

I'd be happy to see another Sergio Torres sign for us as he was a useful player whenever we faced him.
Back then, he was in the UK because he held an Italian passport (as do many Argies - lots of Brazilians have Portuguese passports). Are Argentinians any good at picking fruit and veg?
