This article on 'squaddism' from the ISN blog is doing the rounds on facebook at the moment.

Apparently the SWP are calling the ISN 'squaddists' (lol) and this is a kind of response to those kinds of accusations. Seems to accept all the SWP arguments and slanders against the 'squaddists' and instead of countering them sets out to differentiate their approach.

What do those actually involved in the 80s think of it?

I would have no hesitation in dropping Peter Taafe to be honest , tends to play only well with players from the same club, no real pace or sense of positioning and lets face it footballing tactics have moved on from 1830s Third period Trotskyism . I'd bring in Big Bill Hayward.

James Connolly would stop playing (association) football halfway through the match, and bring on a team of GAA Gaelic (football) players instead.

The bloke who went off and got his mates to smash the record shop was right. The bloke who went off and got his mates to drive back and look at the damage to the record shop was wrong

Sectarianism? Well there were no SWP members out in Liverpool on the bank holiday, that I saw. Fair enough, there’s not so many now

So yeah, a Marxist football team: Marx is the coach; Lenin and Trotsky strikers; Kautsky on the right-wing; Bordiga on the left wing; defence is Peter Taaffe, Joe Higgins, Dave Nellist and Comradmin [redacted] because only the CWI can really defend Marxism; Gramsci goes somewhere because of his ability to get into the opponents' heads. Fill in the other two.

Surely Trotsky would be Sweeper?

With his iron broom?

Dean Shiels who is at Rangers, Gordon Banks.

Didn't that centre half ,at QPR ,Nelson come from a family with a history of eye problems?

 

[butchersapron]

And of course the ref could only represent the ahistorical objectivity of the bourgeois dictatorship.

wouldn't get in the team in my book whist talent like James Larkin is coming through

I'd have the SWP on the bench, in a kind of John O Shea role, they're pretty good at shifting positions...

perhaps they can be asked what their position is on allowing 'jihadi's' on the demo's

...and maybe Che up front as the luxury Latin flair player. By all accounts he has good shooting record.

Sean Connery/Red October coming on late on as the super-sub - but you never know when it's actually on.

Guy Debord as "trequartista" or "false 10" or some shit. Everybody could witter on pretending they understand the position he plays without actually understanding it...

I doubt we need to ask sadly.

First sign of a yeLlow card, and he'll be off to Moscow with the gate takings

 

[The39thStep]

Very surprised, verging on disappointed, that Barry Mainwaring hasn't been named as Technical Director of Football.
