Andy J Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Did not know that a drone could be so useful. 2 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leccyflyer Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Well let's hope that such a clear breach of the regulations is dealt with appropriately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuban8 Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 I saw the very brief report about this yesterday on Sky News. A few pieces on it on various newspapers' websites, but that's about it. Clearly media 'drone fatigue' setting in. Apparently, drones have also been used to spy on football training grounds for tactical advantage and it's claimed that they've been deliberately used to stop games to the advantage of the losing side.

john stones 1 - Moderator Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Looks like the fatigues setting in here as well, no "We're all doomed" post yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leccyflyer Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 I saw it on MOTD this morning, with the ref spotting the drone hovering above the penalty spot and removing the players from the field. The flight clearly breached the regulations and was highly irresponsible -looks like the operator put a video online so ought to be easy to find.

Does this forum really need these sort of comments? I know it's only a matter of time in this sort of thread before somebody turns into a Saudi Arabian keyboard Rambo, but seriously, what does it gain us? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Campbell Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 That is a bit of an over reaction to an obviously tongue in cheek comment. Why are people so intolerant nowadays? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john stones 1 - Moderator Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 I'm with Don looking forward to the Six Nations, now Eddies gone I'm hoping Steve Borthwick gives England a style and puts a smile on English rubgy, last year or two has been dross. The wrong uns out there flying, I'll leave to the authorities, It's been done to death on here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Fry Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 (edited) I am as apologetic as the situation demands. Promotion, Saudi Arabian Rambo, must find that white dust sheet. Edited January 23, 2023 by Don Fry Can’t spell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Harris - Moderator Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 The world has changed vastly since many of us were youngsters. Things which would have been accepted as banter and tub thumping now give offence to many people, even when they’re obviously said in jest. Perhaps we need to bear this in mind when posting to a public forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatMc Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 What's "The Six Nations" ? Is it a breakaway splinter group from the United Nations ? PS Do I have to insert a suitable emoticon in case my queries offends someone ? 🖕 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solly Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Martin, I totally respect your opinion. But you're asking me and many older people like me to drastically change our banter and completely harmless sense of humour to obey the alien rules of a modern society which is apparently determined to change the behaviour of this country to fit in with their own vision. Sorry, but no way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lima Hotel Foxtrot Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 I love the way that on this forum an attempt to make a point about the type of overreacting in threads that are ALWAYS about multirotors (yes, I know the comment was clearly tongue-in-cheek; I'm not stupid) promptly results in more overreacting, and directed abuse.

Sorry, but no way. The impression you're giving is that everyone should change their behaviour to suit you? I don't think you're sorry. It's easy to write that from the safety of a keyboard. As is what I just wrote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
