Yeah it’s very inoffensive. People saying they’d feel more proud wearing King Power on a shirt is also very weird

Me too.

Bored of Madrid winning the Champions League for the umpteenth time. 
Would always rather an English team win it instead of a Spanish, Italian, or German side.

Often wonder was fans of other Spanish clubs other than Real and Barcelona think. We moan about the big 6 but everything seems skewed far more there from what I understand.

Yep.

 

To say nothing of the highly questionable history both Real and Barca have.

 

A pox on both their houses.

Surely the main issue with that Gervais skit is that its so inherently...unfunny?

 

"Trans women have beards and cocks ahaha you just don't know which toilet they're gonna use do you !" is genuinely sub playground patter from the 90s for ****s sake.

 

I absolutely loved Ricky Gervais. I still think The Office and Extras are two of the best comedy shows ever made and his early stand ups were great. But he’s becoming increasingly deluded. I’m sure there is an intellectual debate to be had about free speech and “wokeness” but he’s not having it. He seems to have backed himself into a corner and is now just acting weird. I agree one should argue for free speech and comedy can be a real tool to broach taboo subjects but bashing the trans community to illustrate his points seems very problematic. It’s not like they need an extra kicking is it? And as you rightly point out, if his material was smart or funny I’m sure  it would be possible to make some valid points or use comedy to discuss a very real issue but it’s just unfunny and nowhere near as clever as he clearly thinks it is.

Steve Cooper isn't that bad looking (despite what a few have said about his appearance in the Forest are Promoted thread in the main forum).

Put the TV on at 9pm yesterday evening just in time to hear a warning that the following programme contains language and themes that some may find offensive. The warning was even repeated after the ad breaks. 

At the end there were details of an help line you could call if you had been affected by any of the issues discussed in the programme.

Was it a programme about drugs and addiction in society?

Was it a look at exploitation of children?

Was it looking at a murder case?

Was it about knife crime?

Was it about fraud?

Did it contain scenes of surgery?

Cost of living crisis?

Climate change?

 

Nope, it was a look back at Are You Being Served. A 70s comedy that was shown early evening back in the day and watched and enjoyed by millions of folk young and old.

 

Now, clips are shown post 'watershed', accompanied with a plethora of warnings and offers of 'support lines'.

 

Gosh, we've gone soft.

I genuinely just had a post deleted in the premier league thread for commenting on his appearance, I won't make the same joke again  as it'll get deleted again probably. That despite there being about 10 posts today alone stating how ugly people think he is.

 

Anyway, he is a bad looking bloke, let's be brutally honest. He can't help it, and sure he's decent guy, but he has a face for radio. Doesn't stop him being a good football manager though.

Shrug of the shoulders I think.There was nowhere near the amount of kickback and outrage when the super league was announced.

What exactly were the warnings, what is terms that havent aged well?

They weren't specific, they were worded as mentioned in my post. They did mention terminology of its time too that may offend.

One example of that was 'Poof' in reference to Mr. Humphreys in an internal BBC memo at the time.

I guess the other examples which may traumatise modern day audiences were things like; Mr. Rumpoles secretary sitting on his knee, Mr. Lucus grabbing a female manikin's boobs from behind and dear old Young Mr. Grace nearly having a heart attack when his nurse bent over revealing suspenders and stockings.

All pretty outrageous stuff by today's standards.

I watched that programme and considering myself to be both broad minded and of a strong disposition I ignored all the warnings given.  How wrong I was !!   After hearing several references to Mrs Slocombes pussy and the images it conjured up,  I became very distressed and barely managed an hour or so of fitful sleep ..  only to awake covered in sweat and shaking uncontrollably !  Luckily I remembered the number for the help line and after a long conversation with a very helpful young man I managed to control my anxieties. In future I will never again ignore content warnings  !!!   Lesson learnt  !!!

Coming on a Leicester City forum and moaning about "pointless stats" in football is absurdly ironic and becoming increasingly tiresome. 

 

How do you think Pearson, Shakespeare and Walsh pretty much modernised and revolutionised the club, something they're near universally appreciated on here for? What do you think drives our sports science? How do you think the club handles the performance management of the players? How do you think the recruitment team found the likes of Vardy, Mahrez, Kante, Ndidi, Fofana and every other statistical beast we've picked up way below their potential value over the last decade? Without stats we'd probably still be in the Championship blowing millions on signings like Matt Mills without the fitness to sustain much of a showing for 90 mins, let alone a buccaneering full season of high-pressing, counter-attacking madness that won us one of the most remarkable league titles of all time.

 

I get that it's annoying listening to morons on social media or even in professional football punditry mis-represent stats and, definitely, some of them do become vogue and over-used (xG.) But reading normally fairly intelligent posters on here turn in to complete troglodytes as soon as someone posts something about pass completion or chance conversion is ridiculously galling. 

 

Find stats boring? No worries, just ignore them. If a post is about stats, just skim over it and don't read it. But for chrissakes can we stop moaning about them in every thread they're brought up in?

I’d say it’s less absurd than moaning about football stats in a non football forum tbh.

[LiberalFox]

As a rule of thumb if you're engaging with people on a football forum with expectations for how they will conduct themselves in a discussion then you're going to end up frustrated a lot.
