    Ghoat got a reaction from Palfy in Corona Virus   
    Not sure if I was every really ok with the gov telling me I had to wear a mask, so to protest...I just wore a mask, some things aren't worth the argument. Not sure how effective the shot will be since what we "know" about this thing seems to constantly change (not evolve, just change). Kinda makes you wonder how the heck we know how to or how safe the vax will be. So, in protest, I just went and got the Johnson&Johnson shot, because again, some things aren't worth fusssing over. 
    Then I booked a week in Panama early July for me and the wife. Little time in the highlands, few days on the Pacific, can't wait.
    Panama may require a passport, but no password, so that's good

    Ghoat reacted to London Blue in Next Everton manager: the wisdom of TT.   
    You are absolutely right, and it would be hypocritical of us to do to another team what Real did to us. However this is the state of the modern game, bigger teams pray on smaller ones. 
    I genuinely don't know who I want as manager, I know who I don't want, and that includes all our previous managers.

    IMO, it's still a selling point to our potential recruits/targets, along with the manager the new stadium and the players we added last summer. They all point to "club moving up with a path and a plan".
     
    CL? No, but we're making clear progress, join it.

    Delph almost played a forward pass. But changed his mind.

    One year ban on European competition, and then fine them prize money portion from their table position at the end of the season. Take that windfall, and use to help the tier 2-4 teams that have really suffered mightily during the lockdown. Thereby forcing them to financially help the very teams they were going to screw over.
    The only thing they are sorry about, is that it failed. If you have 5 mates go to rob a bank, and suddenly realized you're way out-gunned, you don't just put down the loot and your weapons and say "Man, we're sorry, I'm not sure what we were thinking. We're just gonna leave now and pretend this never happened." No punishment for the six clubs would be akin to that scenario for me.

    Ghoat got a reaction from KinL in What Are You Watching?   
    Finally started Peaky Blinders this week. Generally speaking I don't care for mob/ganster shows. I didn't pay much attention to the music until (I leave subtitles on) it popped up with "Hardest Button to Button" by White Strips, which is a great time....but it was different song. Since then I have paid more attention - it throws me off a bit, with modern music set against the 1920's backdrop. That said, they have some great music.
    But sure as shit, I'm pulled in, halfway thru the second season after a couple of days.
    But it's really weird seeing John Stones playing a Birmingham gangster, but he's more convincing in that role than as a CB.

    Ok @Sibdane I don't fancy your Bulldogs in the Cow-College Bowl this evening. At least I hope not, I was standing back with a close friend I grew up with. Auburn wins I sent her something AU related and she has to use it as her profile pic for a week - and vice versa.
    She sent me this awful reminder from 2015 last night haha, so War Eagle!!

    Looking forward to the match today. Hoping Jags gets a massive reception.
    Hate this waiting around ready to go haha. I’m like a child on match day.

    And Steve, just because I'm debating with you or disagreeing with you on something doesn't mean I don't appreciate the difference in perspective. You were looking at it from the outside, and have personal experience is here as well. I am right in the middle of it, but also have the perspective of having lived outside of it and having that perspective.
    So whether I agree or not, doesn't mean that I don't genuinely appreciate your (any anyone else's) contribution in a civil discussion

    Totally agree. But that's MUCH broader - the entire criminal justice system, social economical realities, education, cultural and societal differences as well as racism.
    But that's entirely different from the narrow suggestion that cops kill blacks kids in the street and don't kill white kids. That, as a stand alone statement, is bollocks.

    Ghoat reacted to StevO in US Politics/Biden Presidency (Trump-free zone)   
    At no point did I say it was THE reason. This debate started because someone didn’t like what a politician said, I liked what they said. Your government is just an example I gave of lack of representation. My reasons for thinking the states is a racist country is pretty much laid out across every single post I’ve made in this thread. The things I’ve seen in your country, the press your country gets, the news we see over her about the states is of a very very racist country. Add to that the rest of the world think you’ve elected a racist president, it appears from all outside angles as a racist country. 
     
    For the record, I’m not saying any TT members are racist, I don’t know you all well enough but the few I do feel I know well enough I don’t think are racist. I’ve just seen too much racism and met too many racists over there.

    And for the record, my dislike of AOC, or The Squad as a whole, is not due to their gender, ethnicity or religion, I don't like their policies. But we certainly don't need more wealthy old white guys in DC, of either party.

    every place that had an article about him being fined for giving an endorsement to a betting company had a picture of him in his Everton kit with SportPesa prominently displayed. 
    Irony is delicious, especially when served properly.
