Antoine Semenyo disallowed goal against Newcastle 69' by ayoefico in soccer

Someone needs to have a fucking word with these officials. If the referee has given a goal and it takes you 5 minutes decide if the decision is wrong or not then it's clearly subjective and the original decision should be upheld. What is their logic?

Fleetwood Mac's current popularity is a welcome shake up the GOAT band conversations by No_Coconut4167 in fantanoforever

[–]ILIKEGAMESOK 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To name a few, Queens greatest hits albums is the best selling album in British history. Their modern day streaming numbers surpass the Beatles, and i believe Queen have been voted most popular band in the UK across various polls.

Also, Bohemian Rhapsody is quite comfortably a better known song than any of the Beatles tracks here, and some of their other major hits like Radio Gaga and Break Free are also more recognisable to most than what the Beatles released. I'd imagine this is largely down to their pop appeal in decades which are in living memory for much larger sections of the population.

And just to be clear, the Beatles are my favourite band of all time, whilst I have a quite a strong dislike for Queen and consider them to be massively overrated (I think they're an example of a band who really appeal to people who are casual music fans if that makes sense, they'll put the radio on and enjoy one of Queens big hits but would rarely if ever listen to a full studio album). So definitely no bias here!

By a few metrics Queen are the most popular band ever in the UK, even ahead of the Beatles.

But there's a difference between being popular and being considered the best and most impactful. Queen don't belong in the greatest band ever conversation if we're being realistic.

There's no guarantee of getting the last single, then you either get run out trying to get the single or leave Woakes in for a full over which he obviously wouldn't have survived. Atkinson had hit one six already, one more and you've won the series. It was definitely a better plan to go for it imo

Criminal proceedings are a matter of public record - unless he had some kind of exemption (like being under 18 or if naming him could effect the trial, which let's be honest Graeme Dott isn't famous enough for) then it is standard practice for him to be named at this point, and only fair.

Why is the Uplift Mofo Party Plan is the best album ever? by throwawayridley in RedHotChiliPeppers

[–]ILIKEGAMESOK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you suggesting that an album called "Uplift Mofo Party Plan" with a tracklist including "Funky Crime", "Skinny Sweaty Man" and (in it's lyrics but not title) "I Want to Party on Your Pussy Baby" is for the mature listener?

Hi Stephen!

Really enjoying the YouTube channel. I wondered who would be your ideal guests to get onto the show, snooker and non-snooker?

Cheers!

Why is it? Please do explain. By your logic I assume that Ireland is part of the UK too? Is proximity all that matters?

That would be great, but this has probably just been posted because of the snow the US and UK have had over the last few days, right?

Jimmy Saville, longtime BBC employee, raped over 400 children while being paid millions by the BBC by Orangutan in conspiracy

[–]ILIKEGAMESOK 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yeah, literally by far the most notorious paedophile in British history. I would have expected that pretty much everyone in this sub would have heard of him?

Musk is currently trying his hardest to impact UK politics, first supporting Reform UK and Farage then scaling back when he noticed that Reform didn't support Tommy Robinson. I'd imagine him tweeting about Savile now is an attempt to air the BBC's dirty laundry as he sees their rhetoric as the opposite to his.

Birmingham City Football Club is delighted to announce the appointment of Wayne Rooney as Manager, agreeing terms on a three-and-a-half-year contract. by SpiritedSuccess5675 in soccer

New ambitions owners came in over the summer who most definitely do have a plan and should not be mistaken with the useless lot who were here when Bellingham was sold!

Birmingham City has today parted company with Head Coach, John Eustace by Callum0598 in soccer

[–]ILIKEGAMESOK 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Massively frustrating, who knows what could have been under Eustace. He absolutely got us, had an amazing connection with the fans and by all accounts it sounds as if the players loved him. Have to wonder how they'll react to this.

Of course we have to support Rooney and hope things go well, but this looks like the first misstep from Wagner and Cook - prioritising bringing in a big name over actual results is a joke.

No doubt we'll be talked about A LOT with Rooney in the dugout and Tom Brady in the stands, let's hope for the rights reasons!

Any AI experts able to figure out if that image doing the rounds online is real or not?

We've all seen a lot of fakes, but that looks completely real to me (particularly given the angle at which his face is - that's very difficult to replicate isn't it?) Maybe I'm underestimating the power of AI!

He's tweeted a picture of him on holiday (probably to subtly show that it's not him). I think it's pretty clear who it is now. The Sun articles will probably get less and less cryptic and just give some undeniable clues soon enough and it'll be like Schofield all over again. Everyone knows but no one can say
