Savage Henry Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Granit Xhaka's reaction to the Arsenal fans was entirely justified, and if the club don't back him to the hilt it'll be a disgrace. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think Xhaka can react however he likes and it shows he cares, but deliberately walking off the pitch slowly to wind up the fans in a game you're desperately chasing a win is shocking behaviour from a captain or indeed any player. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I work with a few Kiwis and the constant arrogance and sense of entitlement when they talk about the All Blacks would put England football commentators and Celtic fans to shame. I work with two English guys who are into rugby and despite my best attempts to encourage them, are not interested in lording it over the Kiwis even though they would be absolutely insufferable if it was the other way around. What's the point in winning against all the odds if you can't get it right up your opponents? Today is the first time I've seen the Kiwi boys since their loss and it's safe to say one in particular has not taken it well at all. The guy is acting completely erratically and totally out of character by going from someone who is always laughing to someone who is now repeatedly flying off the handle at the slightest thing. It's actually quite bizarre to witness such a dramatic personality shift in someone. I genuinely think if one of the England rugby fans in my work could achieve Hibs level goading skills then we could be witnessing a breakdown of some sort. As entertaining as it is, I'm hoping it's just temporary as Iiving with histrionics like this at home once a month is plenty without having to put up with it at work as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Doesn't sound too dissimilar to me after a bad afternoon at Palmerston tbh. Last Saturday after the United game I couldn't believe how cheery I was for the rest of the evening. It's annoying and pretty sad that the result of a football match has such a bearing on my mood, but I'd be lying if I said it didn't. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiegoDiego Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Very fitting as I live about ten miles from the Prosecco DOCG area. The unfulfilled, middle-aged, female office staff of the UK are making a lot of people around here very rich. You know me too well, Mullarkey. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's shouldn't effect my Sunday and Monday mood but it clearly does. I hate the football at times - like loads of football fans I get far too emotionally involved, palpitations during games and raging after a defeat and the subsequent downer. Getting beat in the multitude of two cup finals I've attended at Hampden was gutting. However, after a few pints and sharing the pain with your mates, everything is back to normal again and you move on. Carrying that mood on into the Monday at work after a Saturday game and having it impact on your day to day life is completely irrational IMO. It's one thing being a passionate fanatic, it's completely another thing being a bit mentally unhinged to the point your behaviour is concerning. 22 hours ago, Empty It said: On 29/10/2019 at 00:01, Dee Man said: Today is the first time I've seen the Kiwi boys since their loss and it's safe to say one in particular has not taken it well at all.

Genuinely the biggest downside to living here is having to listen to work colleagues conversations and media sports updates being dominated by sports played with ridiculously shaped balls. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dons_1988 Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 This stuff about people not voting because the election is near Xmas is a load of shite. Voting takes maybe an hour (probably 15 minutes for me) out of one day nearly 2 weeks before Xmas day. This idea that Xmas should be 2 months of unmitigated festive joy is just nonsense. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am constantly having to terminate political conversations when I ask how someone voted and get told, " I didn't vote, but.."So many people just can't be arsed, and they are the type who are getting the nativity/shopping excuses in early. These are the ones who fucking deserve a Tory government. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh aye, it is absolutely laziness. BBC breakfast this morning were pandering to it doing voxpops with people banging on about 'this isn't what christmas is supposed to be about', or 'what about my christmas shopping?' etc. Utter, utter nonsense. Also a couple of people on my social media saying it has 'fucking ruined' Christmas for them. How exactly? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
