Any ideas for rule changes on this one?

Cliff Bastin @cliffbastin178.bsky.social · 18d

Thanks for the clarification! Does seem like an egregious call

Cliff Bastin @cliffbastin178.bsky.social · 18d

Why not? Genuine question cause I dont know and also thought they got rid of the penalty and red for those situations

I was responding to the other comment, not you.

Anyways, I find the demand (not from you, in various corners of regular/social media) that Arteta win titles and play beautifully without his best attackers to be mystifying. I've never seen *any* manager do that!

You want Mikel to YOLO without Odegaard and Saka?

"Grief and intense football matches are emotionally draining" is not really controversial thing to say my man

Playing games like this after the death of a teammate is a recipe for an emotionally spent team later on. We'll see.

PSG did the same thing

We'll see, though I think the admin not broadcasting it at the top of their lungs is probably the strongest evidence he's not strictly a leftist.

Downside for whom? I think being honest about whatever is happening is important. I will also admit that it would be incredibly funny for him to wrongly blame the groypers

What's the evidence he was a groyper?

An antisemite shot two kids in Colorado, at least one of whom is Jewish.

The White House “fighting antisemitism” doesn’t care, because the shooter was a student radicalized online into far right beliefs, which the regime is cool with, rather than a student verbally criticizing Israeli govt policy.

‘Radicalized’ Evergreen High School shooter appeared to hold antisemitic, violent views in online accounts

Social media accounts that appear to be connected to the 16-year-old shooter are littered with references to mass shootings and antisemitic views, The Denver Post found.

I'm horrified by the shooting of Charlie Kirk at a college event in Utah.

Political violence has no place in our country.

Unseeded knockout tournaments will never be the best barometer of who is the best team. Maybe 30-50% of the time I’d say the actual best team wins.

Crazy that this ends up being a major messing stick for some people.

As an Arsenal fan, I'm terrified that I'll be looking at Ekitike as the one that got away

Cliff Bastin @cliffbastin178.bsky.social · Aug 15

Ekitike might end up being one

Having a similar issue and finding it frustrating. I can order it from elsewhere but I want one with the CL winners patch for the women's team. Not sure where else I can get that!

Totally agree on the smaller pitches and goals nonsense

Its about right tbh they only walked it cause the other two sides collapsed in ways they won't this season

Not doing a great job of refuting the paranoid fantasy allegations there buddy. She wouldn't want you to carry a non-viable baby to term

Is your claim a husband and wife don't talk to each other about politics? Or is that you're a ghoul who hates child benefits?

Cliff Bastin @cliffbastin178.bsky.social · Jun 22

You think she hasn't discussed these things with her own husband?
