You’re absolutely right that the legal profession have modern office IT systems and have had for many years but you still won’t accept that security is the reason some things are sent by fax after a detailed explanation as to why. I think we need to invent a new word for those such as yourself, but I personally am terming this sort of wilful ignorance “reverse Luddite-ism”

Legal firm has say 200 employees and they all get hit by a phishing email. Someone is going to fall for it and then the whole system is compromised. Now perhaps you can explain to me how to hack an analogue phone line sending a data signal and then how to translate the data signal into something usable?

The now semi-permanent Mrs PL says that many law firms still send legal documents via fax as it’s a lot more secure than email

Work?

They mentioned the manipulation going on, that X is being engineered to suggest that there’s no point in Dems turning out to vote as Trumps lead is so great, various fuckin horrifying scenarios should Trump win and one where he appoints the likes of Jamie Dimon to run the country and he fucks off to play golf for 4 years. This is just about the only one I listen to on politics, can’t stick the smug conceited twats on the news agents and point blank refuse to listen to Campbell, his sidekick isn’t a bad cunt for a Tory though. Scarramucci is a very interesting character for me, and the contrast with the posh as fuck Katty works really well. She’s a bit older than me but probably still would

@Gemmill From what you said the other day about the betting markets being manipulated by billionaires backing Trump have you listened to this?

I was at that game and I hadn’t thought about how it may have affected him. Declan Rice is a v good player but not a 100 mill player . You sign a player for that money you’ve got to win a title. Perhaps Rice will once Pep fucks off but that just makes a mockery of the 100 mill…

I get why they’ve done it, It smacks of picking on the wrong people again… more ammo for the tories

His players? I think he supports East Fife mate

This was very much the subtext to Sundays game… https://www.football365.com/news/opinion-var-altering-results-managers-sacked-ten-hag-enough

Who’s lying in the mud for us? Presumably it’s Alex Stepney for Man Utd… first thought is David Craig, or maybe Tommy Gibb?

That doesn’t look like a football ground…it looks like a racecourse so is it Kingston Park?

So he is

Did you try out your Serbo-Croat? 😀

https://www.oddschecker.com/football/football-specials/manchester-united/next-permanent-manager Howe nowhere to be seen… got to say that surprises me

I agree with a lot of that, there was definitely a point to be had at the end, Reece James essentially saved them in injury time with that clearing header. It doesn’t disguise how sloppy we were in possession due to not being able to counter Chelsea’s press..

We played better when he went off when Longstaff and Willock came on and Joelinton moved to left wing… I think Howe likes Joelinton because he likes what he imagines to be the physicality the player formerly displayed but pretty much no longer does in the middle of the park at the start of games. Tonali doesn’t fit. Hes a slightly more spatially aware and combative Hugo Viana. I think he was offered to us due to his upcoming betting issues…

Yeah that’s why I said the player loyalty thing isn’t accurate at the moment but it’s definitely a perception that’s out there. When Howe was appointed our dear friend and colleague ewerk, as he does, dug out 3 or 4 posts I’d made slating him. I knew what was going on down here in the last couple of seasons of Howe’s tenure at AFCB. We all know about the shit Fraser pulled in their relegation season but Callum Wilson also sat the final months of that season out in the physios room and many AFCB supporters were saying things about him that now sound very familiar. Do players lose faith in Howe’s methods after a while? Is/was the physicality required too much? Have our better players who are in a different league quality wise to the decent pros Howe dragged up from league 2 just acted a bit quicker than they did?… obviously am just speculating. There is no lack of effort from our players but yesterday we gave the ball away so much because in my opinion we looked weak on the ball when we came up against Chelsea’s press. When Chelsea challenged for the ball in midfield they invariably won it. That’s the difference for me between this season and the one before last. Not sure how you get that back…

This Bournemouth fan’s opinion is, rightly or wrongly, echoed by many NUFC supporters today.. if you look at the facts as to which players are available to him and why that is the case it’s probably not a decent comparison but the implied tactical inflexibility certainly is… Its from this article in The Athletic…

Unreal last 10 in the premier league … good point for Bournemouth at Villa ☺️ Anyway, in another instalment of “PL goes early” am adding to “Paul Mitchell is actually useless” this nailed on cert… When we’re 14th without a win in 3 months in early December we’re going sack that false curr Howe and make an OUTRAGEOUS swoop for one of the most talented up and coming coaches in Europe 😆

Everton stadium update

Chatting to @sammynb about this reminded me of this, when this individual appeared to be a true force for good in this world. It’s the first time I’d heard of him and I thought the application of this sort of tech was inspired at the time. Not so much nowadays 😑 https://news.sky.com/story/amp/elon-musk-wins-50m-bet-with-giant-battery-for-south-australia-11141165
