    It would be better to play an actual goalkeeper in there, rather than Brad Collins. I'm not actually sure what he's supposed to be.

    He's looked pretty fucked off since he's been here. Tbh, I moaned about his appointment, but more than him not being the right appointment for us, we're absolutely not the right club for him. This is a very poor team, and it's going to be extremely difficult for any manager to get to be...

    Oh yeah, and we're fucking shit at taking chances when they do come, too.

    We have been shocking. It's been another turgid display against very average, but organised, opposition. That's all it takes. Be somewhat solid and get a shot on target. I'm beginning to think we may never see a save again.

    How the fuck do we contrive to concede two goals to a team that has zero attacking threat? It's absolutely pathetic.

    Worse. At least Blatter looked like he genuinely enjoyed watching football.

    World Cup 2034

    FIFA is as morally bankrupt as any organisation on the planet. Fuck the World Cup. Even taken on purely sporting terms, it's a bloated monstrosity now.

    'I could care less'. IT'S THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF WHAT THEY MEAN!

    Beliefs can (and should) be questioned. You do not have to respect the belief itself to respect the rights and dignity of the person who holds it.

    I know. It made you come across as someone who might own a sash and like blowing tunelessly into a flute.

    Over a billion Catholics around the world would be quite surprised to hear that.

    Atheism has no creed. Some atheists are wankers; but no-one's a bigot because atheism taught them to be.

    Rainbow Captain's Armband

    Is it a huge problem? Has there been an outcry, or just media stirring? Genuine question. If I'd have been the Ipswich hierarchy, I would have done what I said, but I'm not, so he just wore his normal armband. It's a bit disappointing on Ipswich's behalf, but hardly worth getting worked up...

    But he could, that's the thing. It would have been up to him. I don't know if this works as a comparison, but I absolutely loved the tramlines kit from a couple of years ago. I really wanted one, but was really uncomfortable about being an advertising hoarding for a betting company, so I didn't...

    Rainbow Captain's Armband

    It wouldn't be stripping him of the captaincy. It would be stating that the captain on that day wears a rainbow armband to demonstrate acceptance of LGBT people within the football community. If he is uncomfortable with that, then someone else has to be captain that day. It would be his...

    I just assumed it was a rather sweet message to his Spanish boyfriend. ❤️

    Rainbow Captain's Armband

    No, but in a sport that has traditionally been extremely hostile to LBGT people, it's necessary that clubs address that, and the things you mention are a visible way expressing inclusivity. Obviously no-one should force this guy to wear a rainbow armband any more than they should force McLean...

    They're not dislikeable as humans (far from it), just very frustrating as footballers.
