    Good to know he'll be in prison while they're in the Prem.

    46 min Off we go again! During the break, a mate messaged to tell me that Brennan Johnson is now the second player to score in both legs of a Championship playoff semi-final. The first was his dad, 19 years ago, in a tie involving same two teams. That’s a bazzer.
    Stat of the year.

    Huddersfield - Forest is proper baddies versus goodies territory. Only one winner from that please.

    These pitch invasions are very heads-have-gone. They always used to pass off without those involved having to go MENTAL or induce SCENES. Guess it's the coke talking.

    Because we spent 20 years of United winning everything in sight as well as lolling at us on the very few occasions when we did have a team that was even remotely close. Then whenever we did seem to have a decent team things would implode the following season 01/02, 08/09 and 13/14 were all followed by us being absolutely dogshit the following season.

    Fam, don't compare this Klopp side to that other shit.

    Konate looked like a beast but also one capable of dozing off a few months, if not weeks ago. It's taken the Nazi less than a season to turn him into peak VVD and fortify our position at the top of the game for the next 10 years. Frightening.

    The ability Klopp has to transform players really is something else.

    Just had a roll and sausage for lunch in solidarity with Rangers.

    Have noticed a lot of their fans are wearing orange and was wondering is that straight sectarianism or a clever nod to Seville's eponymous fruit?

    Definitely the fruit. It's the same reason Celtic fans wore green on their recent pre-season tour of Australia, as an homage to Granny Smith apples.

    I'll need to be on team Frankfurt tonight.

    1) Fuck all the Rangers fans around me who set off their shit fireworks every time they do anything.
    2) Fuck the Old Firm generally.
    3) Fuck the pipe bands who come and make an enormous fucking racket round the back of my flat every other week in the summer so I have to close all my windows and doors just so I can hear myself shriek.

    Football fans are, mostly, complete morons. You could fire them all into the sun and even with the collateral damage you'd have a huge net gain to society.

    Not exactly wrong though.

    Although you could replace "football fans" with just "people" and it would hold just as true.

    The BBC article also has this gem in it.

    Watford reiterated their commitment to equality and diversity
    A business, whose primary source of revenue is derived from 11 very rich men playing football is committed to equality and diversity? Have a day off.

    No, that's definitely what I said Yev. And I definitely didn't list football as being one of the problem areas either.

    Indeed. All the initiative really seems to have served is to highlight that and the fact that there are billions of people on the planet whose societal, cultural and or religious beliefs mean they're not even comfortable with gay people yet, let alone the other letters of that ludicrous initialism.

    Funny. I thought similar when I saw you posting. It's as if I knew a snipey, but lazy and poorly explained response would be incoming. Do you actually think all this bollocks is achieving anything or that the people promoting it in this instance give he slightest shit?

    It’s on BT Sport YouTube if you have a VPN that can place you in the UK. More reliable than a dodgy stream.

    "I can only comment on where I live, but saying something homophobic round here would go down about as well as dropping the N word. Transphobia is still alive and well, but homophobia - atleast in public - is a no go.

    There will obviously be exceptions, but I think football fans and the over 60's is about it."

    What has the third world being generally homophobic got to do with this country's attitudes to it (except insofar as 'diverse' areas are the worst for it)? Football isn't changing that any time soon.

    Yeah, kind of. I’m a white straight male so I can only speak of my experience in the HIV community where we interviewed someone about reaching out to community healthcare workers and the support they provide and I got a text asking to take it down because the poor kid was literally being chased out of his village in Kenya for being gay. And in that same vain, all you’ll rally against it studies show that the whole pronouns in your bio thing increases people who feel under attack the comfort level to reach out to those people because they don’t fear they’ll be attacked or mocked by those people who are ‘virtue signalling’.

    It’s a fucking hard life. Any support you can show them is more than fucking deserved.

    The pride stuff will get a big backlash in the next however many years, which will have deleterious effects on some of the progress made. All our favourite corporate entities use it as a convenient outlet for PR lip service on a subject they don't give a fuck about, while homophobes/'conservative commentators' also use it as a convenient outlet for slagging off the shirtlifters, which they now find themselves unable to do directly. Said commentators think it's meaningless because it means nothing to them.

    The lesson is: remember, kids, substance over style. Always.

    My parents aren't seventy. Meanwhile in Africa 2022, they kill albinos for their magic bones. Their attitudes are irrelevant.

    You've put this more eloquently than I did or could and I agree entirely. If I were in a minority I wouldn't want the owners of a club from a country where it's illegal to be in that minority anywhere near the fight. It's just utterly ludicrous.

    EDIT: You might as well have Jimmy Saville as the poster boy in the fight against child abuse.
