The only other footballer I’ve seen celebrate that way was Lionel Messi celebrating his 500th career goal during El Clasico. But I suppose a 3rd round win on penalties against Sheffield Wednesday merits a similar response!

I was being sarcastic about VAR, I think it’s dreadful. I also think the overwhelming majority of bad refereeing decisions are down to human error rather than bias, but clearly many fans disagree. Admittedly I can see why it’s more fun that way.

In what ways?

You heard any of this @fatso ?

He speaks well in the interview, but the constant diving, kiss-blowing, and celebrating a penalty shootout in the FA Cup 3rd round like you’ve just etched your name into immortality suggests he has some way to go on the pitch.

Huh? He seems alarmingly immature to me.

I actually agree with the earlier posters that the jail sentence sounds harsh to my uninformed ears. What I don’t agree with is your attempts to run interference for these self-confessed violent criminals as just people “laughing at fireworks” like they’re a happy couple at Disneyland. I...

Oh yeah it’s a breeze this refereeing lark

I find it astonishing that you wouldn’t stand up for yourself if you were falsely accused of violent crime, especially knowing the implications. Maybe you would just sit back and take it, personally I wouldn’t.

Do you would just admit to being a violent criminal for no reason? Take a jail sentence and a criminal record because someone else told you to?

So you think they might be innocent? If you were falsely charged with violent disorder for laughing at a firework, would you plead guilty to being a violent criminal?

So why did they plead guilty to violent disorder?

They pleaded guilty to violent disorder

Truly unhinged behaviour

Really? You seem to pull journalists up on this stuff all the time, I would have said it matters a great deal. Plenty of outlets have trialled the automated/AI-generated approach to journalism that you've suggested - it no doubt has some use and will surely get better, but at the moment it's...

The number of clicks is immaterial, it’s the job you hired them to do. You could have tried to get maximum clicks from hiring someone to write freeform poetry, or drawing pictures of tractors. Instead, you hired someone to go out and find things that were happening in the real world so they...

It’s just virtue signalling

If the stories from your friend in Indonesia were being fact-checked to a decent standard and they weren't just writing them to help out a particular company or political party then again, I don't see why it wasn't journalism. Churning out loads of stories or putting in minimal effort to track...

I don't see how it's not journalism - unless you can give me a better definition of what journalism is. I'm sure it's not journalism that you like very much, and it's certainly not likely to win any Pulitzers, but it's still journalism nevertheless. I'm guessing you see "content creator" as a...
