I enjoy women's football and prefer a few aspects. However, the hagiographic tone towards "the Lionesses" in the build up and well into the commentary for Saturday night's dire performance against France, utterly belied the sporting stature of the players and even more the dreadful non-football the...

No one has an issue with women’s football except the fact that it is getting rammed down our throats as something that resembles a decent sporting spectacle. Rammed down yoru throat? You mean that TV dares to show some women's games now, the media reports on some games? That's getting rammed down y...

And? It's weird people will hyper focus on unofficial training games showing that women aren't men, and women can take advantage of this in their training of some sports. Ye maybe the quality of womens football isnt always great but its getting better. My wife and youngest daughter are over watchin...

I love Oasis, and saw them a couple of times back in the day, but I don't love them enough to fly to Oz at great expense and see them one more time. Let's be realistic, those Oz dates are not happening anway! They better happen. I've got tickets. I suspect if nothing else the Gallagher brothers hav...

Fair play. I always admired that guy. He epitomises the "size of the fight in the dog" thing. It's easy to be huge and be a tough. It's hard to be small and tough. He has real brass. You've just described most half-backs. How can it? The words "Mouthy little gobshite" didn't appear in his post?

In political elites, you'd be right. Maybe media (where I think a lot just kept quiet out of fear of cancelation). But not the wider public.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/olympics/articles/cq8zyn041llo Looks like the new boss of the IOC will be looking at making women's sports protected for females. All in all very sensible. No doubt the far-right will find something else to be outraged about. I care not for what the far right think. In t...

Rosie Galligan is engaged to Marley Packer. I have to say that's quick from Marley from her old marriage to a new one.

I did laugh at Trump calling Israel and Iran f**king idiots today

Well done to OKC, a shame the Pacers suffered via injury but great series.

Many Iranians, including us, feel this is not our war. It has been forced on us by a corrupt regime that only has the support of maybe 10 to 20 percent of the population. The overwhelming majority are completely against it. Our government is truly the number one enemy of the Iranian people. It has ...

Most successful Russian asset ever? Like I've said many, many times; it confounds me how people still have to think Trump is just some Russian plant and not he's obviously a shit, incompetent President with not an ounce of filter on him. It was a joke... being a foreign asset would require a level ...

No. Obama did not get impeached for bombing Libya either. Doesn't matter, impeachment is not even a big deal anymore because it has been used so many times. Word has lost it's meaning. Presidents can lie under oath and then tell us that it depends on what the definition of is, is. Much of that is t...

Nothing else to say

Has any US President been impeached for foreign wars? George Bush still walks around happily with both sides of the political establishment.

eldanielfire

Indeed. American liberals are conservative when compared to others around the world. That's not actually true. Your most "batshit insane" lefty in the USA is a centrist in Australia. I think you're mixing up "Lefty" and "liberal". In the past they often overlapped in their Venn diagram, but less so...

Neither team have won it before, but of the two the Thunder have a claim on a previous title (as the Sonics won one). If we're giving OKC credence for the Supersonics title surely we gotta give it to the Pacers for their ABA titles. I'm cheering on Pacers. Gotta back the underdog. I'm also supporti...

People will start to realise it has nothing to do with Islam. Then they'll realise that there aren't grooming gangs all over Europe. Then they will realise why our Pakistanis are different to everyone else's Pakistanis. I've heard Mirpur mentioned a couple of times on lbc today. Will become a house...

Whilst I've by no means taken up some of the positions attributed to me, by down-valuing some of the claims made by the likes of Farage and Yaxley-Lennon, I have to say it now appears a fair chunk of my past input on this "grooming" issue has missed the point.

Well those fans who like to see women go into each other got their share last night

It's shocking that eye gouging in Rugby rightfully has a ban of many months, but it seems in the WNBA it's unsanctioned by refs.

Back onto the NBA, can the Pacers make it 7 games?

It's a shame there seems to be plenty of internal politics int he WNBA that they almost can't show any delight for the clear effective and boost in popularity in the sport after decades of almost nothing moving interest expect down.

Thank you Baroness Casey! Let's not forget people like Sherblue and Corbyn Dallas were also strongly against an national enquiry and called people who supported an enquiry far right.

Hadn't considered that. It's a best guess on my part. But numerous YouTube videos won't mentioned rape, even one that reports on news and an obvious rape is the subject, and always say the algorithm will screw them if they use it or they get demonetized. Which means it could also be down to adverti...

Good. But I genuinely don't get the months of resistance to it and calling those who want it racists. It was obviously an easy winner to do it, but politicians so so out of touch and in a bubble they actually thought against it.

So Starmer has finally accepted a national enquiry on the grooming gang scandal. I can see some of Labour council people and MPs involved in the cover ups being extremely nervous. I'd imagine weird plums like Sherblue are probably unhappy about the national enquiry. Good. But I genuinely don't get ...

media want the alliteration though. Raping ring or c unts club might be better. It might also because google and big tech hates the rape word and algorithms will direct traffic away from their sites when they use it. Hadn't considered that. It's a best guess on my part. But numerous YouTube videos ...
