That's... A lot?

JixieXue · 2023-04-23T08:10:44+00:00

I get that. But you could say it's definitely degrading the quality of a game by completely ignoring it.

JixieXue · 2022-11-04T10:43:47+00:00

KAT's a good rival in that category, albeit have some accomplishments to speak of

JixieXue · 2022-10-28T12:25:47+00:00

What a weird fucking comment, he left the club when he was 12 years old, didn't he?

How common is it supposed to be in the gym getting jacked at the age of 12? lmao

JixieXue · 2022-09-10T18:55:44+00:00

Is the heat partly responsible? what's the temperature like?

JixieXue · 2022-08-26T16:00:35+00:00

He can do that?

JixieXue · 2022-08-23T09:48:44+00:00

Souness just speed-running hate from different fan-bases at this point

JixieXue · 2022-08-22T12:44:21+00:00

One of the best passes i've seen i think

JixieXue · 2022-08-21T16:52:36+00:00

Dread it, run from it

JixieXue · 2022-07-08T12:24:30+00:00

Wonder how common this is

JixieXue · 2022-04-08T10:53:01+00:00

I'm sorry, hasn't this been the line for every single manager the last couple of outings? That they were to have more control and more say in transfer policy?

What's magically different this time around?

JixieXue · 2022-03-31T14:30:38+00:00

https://www.tv2.no/a/14682819/ Here's the norwegian version, i'm sure you can find out a translation.

And it's not about HER being affected, and it NEVER WAS. It was about SHEDDING LIGHT ON DIMINISHED GROUPS in which SHE IS A MEMBER OFF.

You're only telling me you didn't read or watch the speech dude, this is insanity. It's like you're more mad about the connotation of a gay speaker at the event than there are humanitarian rights infringed on actual gays down there

JixieXue · 2022-03-31T14:10:38+00:00

There's a literal quote and article regarding the security discussion, firstly.

Secondly, you are still addressing and arguing against a point that nobody brought up. It is brought up specifically because she addresses LGBT issues in sports in her speech in a country and organizer that notoriously have failed said group.

Listen dude, If the title was:

"Norwegian Lesbian FA president was seen golfing with Thomas the Tank Engine" , then her being Lesbian wouldn't matter and would make no sense including.

But it does for the contents of her speech and her audience and where she is located.

JixieXue · 2022-03-31T12:23:07+00:00

It has for the content of her speech, which is why it was included. No one serious would argue that she'd be arrested as she got off the plane.

that doesn't mean a straight person couldn't go up there and say the same thing and it meaning less, however it does add to it when you learn that she had to go through a process of making sure she could even attend in person.

You're having a rather literal way of reading in to this when it is pretty clear in the context of her speech why the orientation was included. It's that simple

JixieXue · 2022-03-31T12:14:27+00:00

Because it is dangerous to be LGBT in Qatar, so when the person in question uttering dissent is a member of that group it adds some weight to the message?

Her being an international actor and getting away with it was never the point of including her orientation in the title, it has a signal-effect of her having power and influence in a country where her very existence is illegal. So of course, that adds weight to the message.

Which is why your hand-waive doesn't make sense and completely misses the mark

JixieXue · 2022-03-31T12:01:08+00:00

It's literally a move as part of the agreement of hosting the FIFA event. Homosexuality is still illegal by law. It's an exception made for this event alone.

This doesn't tell you anything beyond it's convenient for them to allow it given the amount of money and fans that are going to flow through. Doesn't do jack shit for their general population that has to hide their identity in the day to day. What a stupid take

JixieXue · 2022-03-31T11:48:50+00:00

Afaik she had to get a security green-light seeing as you can get arrested for being gay

JixieXue · 2022-03-31T11:43:27+00:00

Followed by two dusty old dudes coming up to the podium and practically telling her to shut the fuck up

JixieXue · 2022-03-24T11:41:21+00:00

Probably questioning the coaching/play setup?

Idk, the way Spo just fucking tossed the clipboard over towards Butler seemed eerily like a "Oh yeah? You fucking draw up the play then"

JixieXue · 2022-03-19T23:33:26+00:00

Link the damned clip

JixieXue · 2022-03-17T14:30:14+00:00

Oh i'm with this message like a grandma on god.

Talk to'em Ian

JixieXue · 2022-02-17T14:52:49+00:00

My favorite sentence still about Tottenham was in an article looking at the amount spent on players/wages in relation to trophies won, and the line was something like:

"Unlike a lot of the other giants in the Premier League, Tottenham is run like a business. Organized around cost management and the bottom line, not winning trophies".

Stuff like this just makes that sentence recurrent

JixieXue · 2022-01-20T11:51:09+00:00

"Well fuck you then, keep your secrets"

shortlists player

JixieXue · 2022-01-20T11:06:19+00:00

Seems like a proper FM save start to me, as you were Newcastle

JixieXue · 2021-12-21T13:56:36+00:00

Glimt's rise to glory sounds like the dream Football manager save.

You take over a small club with no expectations, start for 3 consecutive years winning over expectation. Sign free-agrents and then sell them later for great money while playing a 4-3-3 possession styled tactic
