    Do you attend matches with headphones on or go to grounds when there aren't games being played? The chanting may have died down but I've heard and continue to hear, what you might term 'casual' racism or homophobia all too regularly.

    Away Match Build Up 29/03/24 - L1: Shrewsbury v OUFC

    I'm assuming you're a miserable, contrary, 'told you so' type character in life generally and not just on here for our benefit.

    BU - I'm in complete agreement with you but there is regular one poster, who we haven't seen on this thread as yet, who regularly mentions discrimination against white people and how we don't discuss it enough! Incoming.

    It's not that simple though is it? You are just measuring 'incidents' and complaints when there are wider attitudinal issues - how many times do we hear casually homophobic comments? On a fairly regular basis I would say.

    LGBTQ+ / Rainbow Laces

    We're not 'singling' or 'pointing' out differences, we are recognising and supporting people in the hope we can get to a point where sexuality, race, religion, etc aren't the things that differentiate us but the very things that bind us......and we are a very long way from that.

    Oh, I don't know, it's been a competitive field over the years!

    Oh I see! I think most normal people probably wouldn't see that as falling off a cliff. No doubt you're already back tracking on that patently ridiculous comment. Edit: sorry, I was tying and hadn't noticed you 'refining' your comment.

    Isn't it just slightly mental describing a team currently in 6th and at least notionally, with our fate in our own hands, as having 'fallen off a cliff'? You really do need to get another hobby. You'd think we were fighting off relegation (again) from reading your posts.

    National News WASPI Women

    It was set post-war in what was a very different time, when men tended to be the bread winners, there were massive pay differentials in the job market and it recognised the traditional role of the woman within the home. Things obviously changed and I don't think the argument is about balancing...

    What Have You Been Watching Lately? (No Spoilers)

    Some of Cosmo Jarvis' acting is a bit 'Toast Of London' but none the less compelling for that.

    Matches Top 6 Race 2023/24

    It’s a fairly common approach on here implying, as you’ve done, that we all fall into two camps - broadly for or against. It seems to be an attempt to prove how ‘right’ you are. People certainly do fall into those camps but for most of us it’s much more nuanced. He did a good job and effected a...

    Matches Top 6 Race 2023/24

    It's way too easy and lazy to say that 'Pompey aren't anything special' - they might not be playing the most open, attractive football but they have some good players, squad depth, have a distinct system and are incredibly resilient. They accumulated 83 points with 7 games to go, only conceded...

    EPL Premier League competitive and sustainable deal with the EFL

    Reading the reporting of the Football Governance Bill, it wasn't surprising which clubs and leagues were supporting or objecting to elements of the legislation, but the funniest comments came from David O'Sullivan, who said, without any sense of irony or seemingly knowledge of the wider football...

    Current Player #1 Jamie Cumming

    One of my main problems is his very casual nature when a relatively soft shot is hit directly at or near him. Quite often the ball will not be taken cleanly and as we saw at Portsmouth, he ended up pushing a soft one into the goal. I'd commented previously to people around me that I could see...
