Quite nice seeing a player like Szoboslai replaced by a player like Gravenberch. Last season - you will not be missed.

You clumsy fucking genius, Darwin!

"Clive, Thomas and Collin A."

At last, a voice of reason and fairness.

Superimpose Control Achieve Boss Score

You're no DaveU, that's for certain.

Emphatic finish

Arigatou Endo!

Lucky goal by Jota, that.

I'm not old enough to have seen him play in his career, but old enough to see him play at Tommy Smith's testimonial. I remember Clem going up front and Emlyn Hughes going in goal. Charlton got played through on goal and Crazy Horse looked towards the Kop in fear - the Kop's 'woooah' making his plight worse. It's probably a failing memory but I'm sure Hughes was making out like he was biting his nails in fear. Anyway, Charlton made like he was winding up to let loose one of his cannonball shots, then slowed down, took pity on Hughes and tapped it to him.

Any passing thought, that any average person will have when observing an event, will take Faisal Islam days of drooling and severe agonizing headaches to recognise.

That's not what I said at all. Nice straw man argument, though.

No, the least that should be offered is constructive and effective solutions, not just empty gestures and platitudes.

I'm not disagreeing with the fact that aboriginal people need to be in charge of their welfare and ambitions, far from it. It's the appalling lack of thought that went into this empty vessel of a referendum. It's simplistic to attribute the result just to Aussie racism. Albanese expected people to vote for a blank cheque and it seems many were worried about that. He was in charge of this and he's been lazy as fuck with the detail. If the Yes vote was serious about improving aboriginal people's lives they should have put some critical thought into it. Now all they've done is ruin a promising opportunity and set the cause back years.

Trying to.

And there is the glaring error in the referendum. Even Lidia Thorpe voted against it because it had no substance. Apparently, aboriginal people get 3 x the money spent on them yet they are still living in poverty with no hope of employment. That suggests a vast weakness in the system that is continuing to fail them. Maybe the Aussie govt should do a bit more thinking about what is going wrong, in detail, rather than making vague well-meaning gestures?

Keep Every Move Positive Total Ownership Without Nonsense.

Don't ask!!

What a finish!

That's no sort of punishment for such egregious FFP violations though, is it? Imagine it had been a less incompetent board/ club like say, oh any in the PremierLeague, and they'd committed the same shenangans as the Bitters but had actually built a half decent team on the back of that - something middling like Brentford or Villa. They could take the hit of 6-8 points and still be safe in the PL because they thought "what would the Everton board do?" and took it as a yardstick for what stupid grandiose shit to avoid doing. They would have massively benefitted without any sanction that would hurt their long term plans. The only fit and proper punishment is relegation. I'm not suggesting that they be kicked out of the Football League and down to the Conference, but to ensure that the class and dignity of the Premier League is upheld it should definitely be a punsihment between relegation from PL and say total oblivion. Anyone with a Corinthian bone in their body can see that.

Moneyball.

Gomez has looked good whenever he's filled in at RB.

My wife was just walking past and looked over my shoulder - for the first time she has shown an interest in TLW (other than World of a Woman). It looks great, Lifey.

The thing is he was very good up until his Pickford brainfart. He was like a breath of fresh air - competant and not suspiciously partial to any one team, let alone obviously biased against us. I was watching one of our matches on holiday a few years ago, and met one of the ex LFC women's players who is now a professional ref. It was interesting hearing her analyse Oliver's performance during the match, as it's stuff most of us will never appreciate because we quite rightly watch football for the players, not the officals. She said that on her ref's courses he was the poster boy, a cut above the rest, and the way she was explaining his performance it was clear that he had the brain for top level refereeing. Sadly, as @NoelM stated, since the T-Rex fuck up, Oliver has been anything but neutral when he has officiated us. It goes to show, that even if you are technically excellent, a shit/ biased attitude will adversely affect games. PGMOL will undoubtedly assess him and say he has had a great game yet he will have let every important 50/50 go against us, fucked us over when he can get away with it, and then given a few obvious decisions in our favour at the end of the match - just so it lasts in the mind of the neutral that he was fair and even-handed.
