Ian Wright was playing semi-pro until he signed for Crystal Palace at 22.

It's one enterprising banner salesman who makes it for both of them. "Hello, Union Berrz? You'll never believe what these c***s are saying about you. What's that? Aye, but it's £500 a letter. Sudden Deadline Printing Charge. I'll have it done by tomorrow."

Because dead people were racist. It happened. Lots of horrible things have happened in history. Knowing this, reading about it and learning about it doesn't mean it's accepted. Trying to change aspects of history because they're no longer considered acceptable is stupid because it's not possible to change everything, because it undermines the changes that have happened over time to make them no longer acceptable, and because nobody has the right to change other peoples' creations because they don't like them.

Goalies scoring is always fun:

What Sensitivity Readers Actually Do, From a Professional (vice.com) Sensitivity Readers: Who Are They and Should Authors Use Them? (reedsy.com) The example in the Vice article of children's books with awkward language is reasonable and something I can understand, publishers wanting to make sure their books are appropriate for their audience. Applying this retroactively to the works of people who are dead is bullshit.

"sensitivity readers" Every day sees me closer and closer to a Network-style meltdown.

I sure hope nobody was watching me edit that post.

I fucking knew I was missing someone. I think I was thrown by nobody picking Motson.

Week 8 update I'm going to be here a while. First up this week is French Resistance fighter Simone Segouin: Simone Segouin, French Resistance fighter celebrated as ‘The Girl Partisan of Chartres’ – obituary (telegraph.co.uk) Sounds like not a bad life. Born on a farm, spend your formative years running around in shorts shooting Nazis - what more could you ask for? Segouin died at 97 so she's worth 28 Base Points for @Karpaty Lviv - with a Solo Shot taking that to 78 points. =============== Up next this week was the ubiquitous "Thatcher lackey" Bernard Ingham: Sir Bernard Ingham obituary | Conservatives | The Guardian Not being born until he had left office I can't really offer a personal assessment of Ingham's time in parliament. There's a strange dichotomy when you read about ministers from this time, where they're unquestionably evil based on the things they're doing or enabling, yet they're clearly more competent, honourable and decent than just about anyone who followed them. We're all fucked. Ingham died at 90 so he's worth 35 Base Points for @The Naitch - a Solo Shot bonus taking that to 85 points. =============== Up next this week, sport man Dickie Davies: Dickie Davies obituary | Sport | The Guardian This is also extremely worth watching: I've done the bit where I opine about ubiquitous figures on the television for a long time, but reading about ITV's sports coverage of this time really exemplifies what I mean. How many people are there now in sports media who you could reasonably expect to present something for decades that everyone can watch? Will whoever replaces Lineker on Match of the Day be there as long as him? Will the increasing amount of money in top level sport allow events to be on free to air television forever? Will the increased ease of internet broadcasting for niche interests ever provide the exposure and audience growth that something like World of Sport did? Davies died at 94 so he's worth 31 Base Points for @Sweaty Morph and @The Naitch with a Deadly Duo giving them 56 points each. =============== Final death this week, as you can see above, is film producer Walter Mirisch. He died two days ago and there are no qualifying obituaries yet. I think that's everything. After all of that, and until or if there's a Mirisch obituary, the standings look like this: 1. The Naitch 208 2. buddiepaul 194 3. psv_killie 185 4. JustOneCornetto 181 5. peasy23 165 6. The DA 153 7. Desp, Ned Nederlander 151 9. Karpaty Lviv 145 10.

I've been watching Father Ted on All 4. I don't really find it funny because I've seen all the jokes have their arse ripped out on here, but it was still slightly surreal seeing this gif in context:
