Manuel Posted 15 September, 2019 Share Posted 15 September, 2019 I'm moving away from the BBC as much as I can. Obviously I still have to pay the fee but will vote against doing so whenever the opportunity arises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whelk Posted 15 September, 2019 Author Share Posted 15 September, 2019 Why don’t BBC list it as men’s football and women’s football? Then their champion of women’s football would have to report back on Monday morning their hits count err ‘disappointing’ or ‘room for growth’. Probably presenting it as ‘unprecedented interest’ counting my wondering how Barnsley v Leeds went as keeness on seeing Everton v Bristol City women scores. To be clear I am happy for women’s game to grow just don’t fcking force it on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've had five years to talk about rape on the Evans thread, it's been done to death and you gave as good as you got. If that's not enough go and register on RapeWebForum and discuss it there.

Saint_clark Posted 28 September, 2019 Share Posted 28 September, 2019 Groups of "lads" who go to the pub to watch the football, then spend the entire game staring at their phones, having a fag outside or playing darts. Can't just be me that has to stare at the screen when Saints are playing, refusing to miss anything at all? Also, when people get on buses...and THEN start rummaging through their bags/pockets for money/tickets. You've been stood at the bus stop for long enough to be prepared, ffs.

OldNick Posted 28 September, 2019 Share Posted 28 September, 2019 BBC listing women’s football ahead of the Championship I assume in these days of PC there will be calls for the Womans results to be put above the mens game. Perhaps in time it will get like the Yellow Pages and in time it will be Aarvark womens Premier league as to make alphabetical order sorted.

sadoldgit Posted 2 October, 2019 Share Posted 2 October, 2019 So I am currently sitting in a pub in Amsterdam and there is Championships League football on the tv. Most of the screens are showing the Liverpool match. More people cheered when Liverpool scored than when Ajax scored (on the small tv in the corner). WTF?

mrfahaji Posted 3 October, 2019 Share Posted 3 October, 2019 I did that one but needs restating. Ha, indeed! I did go back to page 1 and didn’t see it on there - at least “should of” was covered - but wasn’t going to check 9 pages... I’d also like to include “with regards to” instead of “with regard to” but fear I’m fighting a losing battle with that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badgerx16 Posted 5 October, 2019 Share Posted 5 October, 2019 "Team GB and Northern Ireland" at sports championships - they should be "Team UK", as that is the correctly abbreviated name of the country, particularly as the teams will include competitors from the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, and even Anguila, all of which are not in Great Britain.

sadoldgit Posted 8 November, 2019 Share Posted 8 November, 2019 Probably not such a small thing... Ex boyfriend stabs 17 girlfriend in the neck and tries to make her death look like suicide. Parents find daughter on the floor with the knife sticking out of her neck. He gets a minimum of 12 years 6 months for the murder. Taxi driver kills ex partner and mother of 5. Disposes of her body and it still hasn’t been found. Sentenced to a minimum of 27 years for murder. Where is the consistency? The parents of the 17 year old are rightly very unhappy at the sentence given to the murderer of their daughter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand they need to be seen in traffic but to me walking the dog they are as disruptive as full beam headlights. Dim them by pointing them 3 yards in front of your bike please There seem to be two types of cyclists. The first go out looking like a Christmas tree and you get sunburn if you walk too close to them. The other have literally no lights or even reflectors and I swear they wear a black hoodie and dark trousers on purpose. How the latter survive more than a week without being scraped off the front of a lorry I have no idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
