Random Irritations

Are you really laughing at people trying to stand up to racism?

No .............................. why would I?
What sort of a person would, other than a racist?
It's their methodoligy that I find funny.
They went for 24hrs because that's long as they could possibly live without social media themselves!
Maybe I'm out of touch, but I don't think that'll stop a racist, do you?

Are they not doing it to stand up against Racist abuse on social media ?
Whats funny about it ?

Yes.
It's for 24 hours! Do you, or they, seriously think it's going to make a blind bit of difference.

Should they do nothing ?

Do you understand why the blackout ? It’s not just about stopping the people posting the racist abuse - it’s about the social media companies also doing something more pro active to tackle the constant level of racist abuse. The people that are doing the blackout have a significant amount of followers and it’s going to have an affect on the footprint during those hours

It’s not some token gesture and it’s poor to laugh at them for what they are doing.

Don’t rise to it,he’s just looking to argue the toss.

As for the “blackout” I’m sure their meaning is all good,but let’s be honest,who cares if Jamie Vardy doesn’t post a pic of a WKD for 24hrs?

If they're going to do it, they should do it for a reasonable amount of time, not for just a day.
That's my point so stop trying to read in to it something that's not there.
It's like you're looking for an argument, which I find both surprising and disappointing.
 
So my broadband is out. BT say it isn't, but it flipping is. My Sky Q boxes are hard wired together. The master one works. The other doesn't. It relies on wifi. It is hard wired. Why does it need wifi.
 
That’s not my point.
If a team is attacking and time has expired the refs never blow the whistle, they always blow after that phase of play has finished.

Unless you're Clive Thomas in the 1974 World Cup.
 
Installers of my black out blinds, who have fitted them ever so slightly too low rendering them pointless.

Not noticing before paying and tipping the plasterer, that he'd used our wheelie bin to mix and had also left all the unused mix in it. The Mrs can't move it, so it's now my problem (at 7.30am).

Not taking my new Hugo Boss tshirt off before applying sun cream ahead of today's round.

I wish we had a cat I could kick.
 
Hmmm, I'm not so sure, watch this weekends games and see what happens.

I think most refs will allow that phase of play to complete, so yes I do agree that an attacking team is generally allowed to finish their attack but I also think most refs have a limit and will say enough is enough if an attack drags out too long. Also seen so many really good potential counter attacks ended immediately.
 
Soccer AM - used to love watching it but it's just become like a lad's night out.

What I imagine a lad's night out to be - before that gets called into question :-)
 
Have a big hit of sciatica 1 hour before a club match as the lovely weather hits the country 😢😡
