Bloody hell Yeah, gateshead leisure centre wasn't It? My first live fight!

Every game will be like a cup final to them eh?

a strange definition of success if you ask me

I still don't get why short would do this though. Good news for them obviously but it seems too good to be true doesn't it?

Sorry yes i overlooked your 'leverage' comment. Doh!

He could but didn't when he was given the opportunities though. Simples?

And what could be gained by him letting Ashley know that he is definitely staying no matter what?

Who's gone?

Fucking sports donkey has just crashed on me

just like shearer wasting his playing career joining us?

added a few to my list on netflix, cheers guys. Currently watching the glitch (just finished series 1) which is very silly but enjoyable mindless stuff which is a nice bit of respite from a lot of the stuff we've watched recently. We enjoyed the Sinner but it was a little drawn out but satisfied in the end.

well yes i agree but the game had stopped anyway so there would have been no harm checking from every angle. So far so good anyway. When's the next var game then?

how long until the bubble bursts or solidifies then?

Where do i pay for this afternoon's game then?

I still get films and tv fine with things like the exodus or bob add on, but live football is becoming almost impossible. Its got me listening to match commentaries on the radio again now, proper old school.

We've played less games though

Hope it takes off tomorrow. The song not the costumes mind

That was perhaps the biggest thing I got from that bbc gareth Thomas documentary, surely there is social obligation for a footballer to come out now? Perhaps I am being unfair but it almost makes me angry, perhaps all footballers no matter their sexual orientation are just selfish pricks!

What's ridiculous about it though? It's a statement of intent and would be a good sign from the club, and certainly can only be good? What's your issue?

That last 'paragraph' is spot on. Being LGBT is a protected characteristic legally now just like race so should be dealt with just as seriously by the stewards.

Sorry yeah I realised after I said that

Ffs

How do you know? The language and behaviour I've heard from football fans in my time suddenly doesn't encourage me to take my gay son to football anytime soon!

Be visible? Show that the club is happy to accept all sectors of society? I fully support it and the idea that homophobic bigotry should be treated like racism is more these days.
