sdb Posted 13 June 2020 Share Posted 13 June 2020 (edited) Utter morons. I want to feel sorry for them and their obvious lack of education, support network, love life etc. but the absolute state of them. And as others have said, you just know they'd have been raging at last week's protests, and will have facebook profiles with 'support our key workers' splashed all over the place. They're just lost, angry idiots. Edited 13 June 2020 by sdb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a messed up year, this is possibly the strangest thing yet, unless I’m missing something... They’re idiots. Every single one of them. Whatever they’re protesting about.

Popular Post Unabomber Posted 13 June 2020 Popular Post Share Posted 13 June 2020 Not sure if this is the right thread but something is really ****ing annoying me at the min. Basically any post by a footballer (or anyone actually) that mentions the whole BLM on their shirts on twitter. I fully agree with that but the replies that they get are atrocious. The amount of ****ing idiots who respond with “ALL LIVES MATTER” I mean how thick can you get. Obviously all lives matter this isn’t about that, it is about racism. Those replies just emphasise the need for education for these morons. How can people still be missing the point so spectacularly?! Absolutely ****ing embarrassing. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree, the guy had no real impact on why India got freedom, that was WW2. It's funny he endorsed violence when the British were at there weakest,.......hmmm I wonder. How much did Gandhi agree to pay the British to exit? The guy was a blocker to freedom in post WW1, because it was a minority group non Hindu group that could have made it The guys motives were for the Hindu majority, he endorsed the caste system. He was a racist and a paedophile. If I was a Hindu, it would be kudos, that guy did the upmost for his faith, that has to be admired also.

worth_the_wait Posted 13 June 2020 Share Posted 13 June 2020 Not quite sure where to file this comment, but I've put it in this thread. In the last few weeks, there has been a lot of analysing statistics, and coming up with some dubious conclusions. We really do need to be very careful how we interpret stats. For example ... Since 2000 in the Premier League, there have been 44 managerial positions at the so-called "big six" teams. (excluding any short term temporary/interim/caretaker appointments.) But only 8 of these 44 appointments were English managers. This is a pretty damning statistic, and might look like a clear case of anti-English discrimination. But why would any football club owner in the Premier League, discriminate against someone because they were English? I don't suppose they would. I don't know exactly why there is such a big under-representation at those clubs, but I'm pretty certain it's nothing to do with discrimination. Those clubs would probably just say that they have appointed what they believe is the best person for the job. And that's all there is to it. You don't need to be a rocket scientist to see where this analogy is leading. But I genuinely believe we just need to be very careful about leaping to conclusions.

Sol thewall Bamba Posted 13 June 2020 Share Posted 13 June 2020 Why would you: - Go to a "counter demonstration", when the original march had been called off and stand around drinking cans? - Ignore the calls to cancel your march, go out looking for the "counter demonstrators" KNOWING they're baying for a fight?

You don't need to be a rocket scientist to see where this analogy is leading. But I genuinely believe we just need to be very careful about leaping to conclusions. It's been suggested that recently retired English footballers have earn't so much so don't need the hassle of qualifying and then to risk suffering the social media abuse on them. Then you've also got way more opportunities for a pundit role where they can talk bollocks without much abuse. It's also very hard to move from a FL management role to the PL as they are still probably not considered proven for the PL especially in competition with a foreign manager from one of the top tier teams in any other country. I suspect most of those 8 arrived in the PL with the club they got promoted, that being the case they probably didn't last that long either. Just some thoughts.
