    Soccer

    That's the thing that we find annoying - their 'football'. It should've be called something else leaving football free to be used for the game played with the feet.

    General TV Thread

    Binge watched series 2 of Ghosts. Very enjoyable and more like a proper old sitcom. Also a rarity in that it's one you could watch as a family. Only a couple of swear words and some 'Mrs Slocombe's Pussy' level double entrendre.

    Although I think the chairman is putting a positive spin on the situation and being a bit economical with the truth with no fans in you would probably see an increase in subscriptions to ifollow etc to offset slightly, but obv nowhere near making up what'd be lost in revenue. Also, matchday...

    Trimming

    Well that's the thing. Max can pop up with the occasional worldie which is memorable but as has been said if his build up play is more laboured and prevents us from having quicker breakaways attacks that could result in more goals are we gaining or losing? Because those chances are never created...

    Could we replace him for that though? I'd hope we wouldn't sell anyone this window who was first team or close to it, because if they have a good half season by Jan they could go for double what they'd go for now as they'd have some proven quality and consistency at this level.

    Doing Transfers Differently - Sky Sports article with Chris Badlan

    Kastaneer may well be a case to show how much we use the analytics. I imagine in those Kastaneer comes very high, but it's the 'intangibles' that have made him unsuccessful - attitude, work ethos etc. So while I'm happy for the vast majority of our scouting to be done on database stuff as you're...

    Soccer

    I don't think it's necessarily the term 'soccer' being used over there it's that 'football' isn't, which is played predominantly with the hands. If football and soccer were interchangeable like here there wouldn't be an issue.

    There'd have been a report on it but it'd have been buried.

    So you realise that in order to try and keep some sort of containment on the virus things have to close. But on the other hand you can't close everything because people will have no work/income. So how do you choose which to close and which to keep open? Those that employ the most people. Pubs...

    Question of sport trio axed.

    As a whole organisation it would make sense that having a diverse workforce would give a greater range of experiences etc to draw from when making decisions and coming up with ideas. Operationally it may be a bit more difficult due to language/cultural barriers etc.

    Shankland

    Celtic/Rangers may not have been interested because he was playing SLC. They tend to prefer to sign the strikers from rivals in the SPL just to fuck them over and make them less competitive against them.

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Like Cummings and his dad for example? Once again denying blame and pushing it back onto the public. Pretty much the entire scientific community says tracking and tracing is the most important thing but blaming it for being poor would look bad on his mates who he's given the contracts to, not...

    Shankland

    To be fair most of those SPL games were when he was 19/20. The following seasons he went out on loan to the Championship, although you could argue if they were sending him out on loan they clearly didn't think he was capable of that level even at 22. This is his first season back playing SPL in...

    I was comparing the playing style. I specifically said he was a better, more experienced version.

    Question of sport trio axed.

    Which is wrong. I support 'blind' CV's. But this is a different situation. If you're employing someone in a factory/office you've got no idea what those candidates are like as you'll likely never have met them. Nowadays you could ask for social media accounts and do a bit of background but on...

    Question of sport trio axed.

    Imagine you're an employer, esp someone as high profile and supposedly left wing as the BBC. There is a big issue about minorities not being given enough opportunities, esp in prominent or authority positions. You have two candidates that are professionally equal but one would help fulfil that...

    I get annoyed with that but even more so at the term Touchdown when it seems the only thing they don't have to do is touch the ball down.
