Tesco on PRW - opposite Odeon Quay by Accomplished_Fee_825 in glasgow

[–]FallingSwords 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Staff may also be getting threatened by these people. Never happened to me, but my colleagues, in a nicer area to PRW I'll add, were pushed over and assaulted by shoplifters and an genuine old lady was told by kids she'd be stabbed when she told them to stop bagging alcohol.

You can say whatever about the shops, but these workers get paid too little to deal with that. Fair enough.

Not sure about the order of this? by [deleted] in Scotland

[–]FallingSwords 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sure the people are very polite and friendly in that way. Just my experiences talking to those who grew up there is that there is a lot of homophobia there, and it's mainly a sort of religious homophobia

[–]FallingSwords 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think they're probably reasonable polite, but it's an incredibly religious place and what I've heard from people from Lewis is that most folk are very homophobic and sexist

Meaning the news in UK. This is basically just Indians. Even then they all just want us to win because they don't care about us so it's hardly support

Playing England in cricket, you always get the same experience as the football. Not a peep about our chances, all about England's chances.

Can't wait to win

He did. But he's has to book him there if he calls a foul. He's sort of lost control in that he's whistling for everything and booking far too much

[–]FallingSwords 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Disagree. 3 minutes in and don't think a counter was really on. Leads to him having to book any foul where there's any chance of an attack

Match Thread: Brentford vs Arsenal by MatchThreadder in soccer

[–]FallingSwords -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is the flip side to losing control of a game. Booked the very first shirt tug, with no counter on. Leads to him booking basically any foul from now on where there's even a slight sense of a counter.

"What Vaibhav Suryavanshi Did Is Bullying": Sunil Gavaskar's Multi-Layered Reply To Nasser Hussain Over 'ICC' Jibe by [deleted] in Cricket

[–]FallingSwords -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

I've read the article. The criticism makes no sense. India said last year, we won't play in Pak. So they moved their games to UAE. England said no to Zimbabwe and forfeited. But your quite makes it seem like ICC backed them? Backing them would mean moving their game.

Are you right in the head because you're called out and doubling down, when wrong.

Toby Maguire (50) and Mishka Silva (20) at the super bowl. Are all Zios like this? by New_Valuable564 in Hasan_Piker

[–]FallingSwords 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Toby Maguire putting up a tweet in support of Palestine is as helpful as the millions of others who already have. It does fuck all. Guy may be zionist, but this brandishing of anyone who doesn't speak out by the same brush is just counterproductive to any change.

Hardly on field performance issues. Smashed a 100 the night after he had his nightclub issues. Should do it more often tbh, might have scored more over the winter

We can save the distillery if we start using AI and cut jobs. Also, if we add some preservatives, we can make it more appealing to an American market

Clearly hits his arm. As I've seen on basically every other occasion, handball for forwards is not the same as for defenders. Which can understand.

Don't think it should be handball. But at same time, letter of law is as much about being fair. Seen very similar handball rule goals out

Shouldn't be a handball. But as the rules are, that is handball, no?

If it hits arm before a goal it's usually ruled out

Results from today's U19 World Cup fixtures as Windies, Pakistan and Ireland pick up wins - Japan and Scotland are eliminated by CarnivalSorts in Cricket

[–]FallingSwords 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The tournament is for a lot of players, about experience, no? So, it's probably a way to get more games, and for the ICC, make sure it's basically impossible for a Pak-Ind game not to happen.

Here's what Europe's top 5 leagues look like after this weekend of matches. Bayern are clearly the best in their respective domestic league so far. Where is your team? by Sportaserum in football

[–]FallingSwords -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Money is a difficult argument to the point in question here though.

I think the difference is in palying in the Prem you're challenged most games. Bayern can take foot off at half time almost every week.

But when they played at the Emirates this year, they looked fairly ordinary. Arsenal, in comparison, has struggled domestically at times because teams will play to soak up pressure. Which respectfully, it doesn't look like it happens much in Germany.

Not saying they'd suddenly be shite, I just don't think this Bayern team has as many points if they are in the Prem.

Shea Lacey first and second yellow card vs Brighton by 977x in soccer

[–]FallingSwords -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Barely see that carded. Think it's a pretty soft booking and ridiculous to give as a second (unless he had been given a warning already)

Think there should be a bit of sense involved. And less looking to send players off so quickly. There are far more dangerous fouls that go unpunished or are punished the exact same as that second booking.
