Unabomber Posted 27 October 2019 Posted 27 October 2019 Why are Americans crying because we celebrated a 9-0 away premier league win. Do they not realise A. How hard that is and B. Vardy would celebrate having a shit if he had away fans watching him.

Yes they have a point, it's just the ONLY point they use to differentiate the two is the players' gender. There's so many other factors involved that are conveniently set aside to pursue their argument.

The last thing we need now is a man putting himself in the virtual chair of sole defender and advocate of US women's sokka. Guy's mental. By sheer logic, please make way for a woman to complain about it. Just for parity and equality's sake. State of Twitter these days. Btw, who gives a fook about women's football? Couldn't care less.

Freedom of speech doesn't mean that what some people have to rant about isn't exhausting. Piers Morgan has a right to bellow his nonsense. It doesn't make it any less objectionable. I'm not trying to revoke his voice, you obviously know that, but his brand of shrieking social justice without any contextual awareness is just, at its core, ****ing boring. The above objections have absolutely nothing to do with his right to say what he wants. I'm surprised I have to point out that difference.

Mr. Ungar draws very odd conclusions, I have to say. Can't really compare two professional teams competing against each other on the highest level (one obviously with a man down) with a game between a squad full of highly-paid female professionals, No.1 in the World for most of their existence, and the Thai women's national football team, currently placed 39th. The difference in quality is evident. A Premier League game where it's about points and goal difference is also different to a World Cup fixture. And it was a special occasion for us, one year after that terrible helicopter crash. But "nuance" and "context" are words that don't exist in Mr. Ungar's vocabulary.

And it's ****ing exhausting.

The difference in quality is evident. Guess a similar example would us beating Burton or another league 1 team 13-0, which would be around 39 places difference. It's a pointless comparison and the guy clearly has a grudge of some sort

Do you recall the post that began our exchange? Hey, free speech is what it is. Irritating as crap to read if you don’t like what is said. Just don’t read it Maybe I am just suffering a post historic game issue

I get his point about the USWNT, but Jake was talking about our club culture and connection between the team and fans, along with the emotion of the year anniversary of the death of our chairman who instilled that culture. Everyone knows your real name now. Mwahahahaha

He's exhausting and his brand of social justice is a 'toxic' as the masculinity he aims to undermine. I didn't say he couldn't say it. Just observed he's a tiring blowhard.
Poznan34 Posted 27 October 2019 Posted 27 October 2019 The comparison is ridiculous. USA were playing a team that were clearly far inferior...we weren't even odds on for Friday's game!

OadbyBlue Posted 27 October 2019 Posted 27 October 2019 The women’s World Cup is farrr from the “highest level”😂😂 would help if the keepers actually attempt to save the ball

Even going in disguise, you feel threatened in their own end by some of their 'senior' fanbase. Millwall loved the 6:57 crew because they were the only travelling firm to actually take it to them at the den. Like Leicester, a large contingent of knuckle draggers. Pompey supporters are however amongst, if not the, most loyal and fervent in the country...unlike Saints.
