Polarboy 2124 Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 The Met have said that it's up to the football authorities as to whether next weekend's fixtures go ahead, and that they'll work with the relevant clubs in order to ensure that the usual security plans are in place.

Polarboy 2124 Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 Of course, the people who run the FA are likely too scared of people shouting Andrew is a sweaty toucher during the minutes silence to let them go ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think the general consensus is they’re all at least decades later. That’s a whole different argument though. I’m not saying they did or didn’t exist anyway. The specific point was the story about Joseph of Arimathaea coming to England being akin to an Arthurian legend. I had a quick look and it doesn’t appear in literature until the 13th century. None of the early accounts that have survived mention him coming to England. So I don’t really think something written over a millennium after something was meant to have happened qualifies as reliable historical evidence.

NJS 3960 Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 I've read articles that the mentions of JC in works by the roman historian Joesuphus which are often cited as "proof" are slightly diffent stylistically from his other writings suggesting they were added in after the event. We were taught the gospels were set in stone within 50 years of the crucifictiction which is a downright lie - they were decided at the council of Nicae in about 330 AD. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
