    World Cup 2034

    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.

    Rainbow Captain's Armband

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

    Rainbow Captain's Armband

    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.

    Rainbow Captain's Armband

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

    Rainbow Captain's Armband

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

    Rainbow Captain's Armband

    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...

    Rainbow Captain's Armband

    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.

    Him more the second half of the season.

    The goalkeepers

    I'll never be able to get past that game against Hull where he absolutely bottled a challenge and let their guy tap it in.

    Favourite player......

    I have more affection for Luke McNally, a loan player who played for us for half a season, than I do for most of this squad.

    Favourite player......

    Wright, Sakamoto and Eccles. Sheaf has credit in the bank. I've a soft spot for Wilson, though I don't think he's really good enough. Bidwell and Allen. The rest can get in the sea.

    Relegation fodder

    If it doesn't drastically improve, then yes. Even when we play well we still look like we could concede whenever the opposition come forward. We often do. If we keep shipping goals the way we are, we will not pick up many points. We are, at the moment, an extremely poor side.
