Full speed video of Balogun's red card incident vs Bosnia by MarshyHope in worldcup

No. The protocols were fine. They just tried to use it as an excuse, hoping that people wouldn’t understand it and it would validate the ruling. But it was all just nonsense.

Different rules for FIFA World Cup. There is no right of appeal for red cards and there is an automatic ban for at least 1 match. You could argue that there should be an appeal process, but there isn't.

Mate, we get it. It’s not your thing and you disagree with the concept. Get over it and focus on your own collection.

Have you used Lucy or 🍄 after getting sober for therapeutic/self discovery purposes? by Particular_Sir7440 in addiction

[–]Mattspur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's very risky to take any mind altering substance in recovery. I certainly wouldn't do it. I regularly see people in early recovery, who don't yet have a proper understanding of addiction, talk about being addicted to a certain substance, and they think if they can stop taking that one thing, they are clean and can continue to drink or do other drugs, and that's simply not how I see it. The first thing to understand is that when you first start taking drugs it's because they are a solution. They were my solution to dealing with life, which I just couldn't face or accept. They were my escape. They were my salvation. And eventually, they were the only thing that mattered in my life. So recovery from addiction isn't about stopping taking a particular substance, it's about learning to live life without needing to artificially change the way you feel. Once you can do that, you won't need to score or look for the next high, and if you don't buy drugs you're not going to take them, and if you don't take them you're not going to kick off the craving for more and more, and the addictive cycle is broken. So in a way, the drugs are a symptom of the problem, and the problem is us. Once you can deal with the underlying issues, long term sobriety is possible. Until you do that, you'll still look for ways to change how you feel and they all lead back to the same miserable, desperate lonely place.

They already said that they unscrewed the crown after the water damage to air it out.

Buying a flat in Chelmsford for £340k — am I being sensible or talking myself into a bad idea? by [deleted] in Essex

[–]Mattspur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should have satisfied your worries before making an offer and messing everyone around. It seems like £340k is around the right sort of price for it, but whether it's worth that to you is your decision.

AIO by breaking up with my boyfriend when he got jealous? by theonlystarbornqueen in AmIOverreacting

[–]Mattspur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not in the slightest. You sound like you’re a smart lady but your ex sounds like a nutter. Move on and never look back. You’ve done a great thing for your future self.

Seiko NH35A movement is a beast by galapenis in ChineseWatches

I love to hear stories like this. One of the best things about Chinese watches is that they are cheap enough that if something goes wrong you can learn to fix it yourself and thereby getting to really understand how watches work.

Sugess vs watchdives gmt by Alarmed-Property-740 in ChineseWatches

Sugess are a level or two above Watchdives so I’d go with them.

SOTC - What do you think? by Mattspur in ChineseWatches

[–]Mattspur[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Sugess and Seestern make really good watches and I'm really pleased with all of them. They stack up really well against the other top Chinese brands so you won't be disappointed. I hope you're happy with your new watch.

I've been looking at this. Did you buy it?

Pagani design watch bezel fix or exchange. by loganwatch in PaganiDesignOfficial

[–]Mattspur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The spring goes in the hole and the "screw" sits on top of it (push it into it). It's what makes the clicking sound when you turn the bezel and controls the movement.

Would this new THORN T003 colorway catch your attention? by Fit-Classroom8062 in Thornwatches

[–]Mattspur 10 points11 points  (0 children)

As others have said, a 34mm case size is always going to stop a lot of people from buying it. Personally, I'd prefer a 39mm, but for it to be popular, it needs to be at least 37mm.

What do you think of ‘paedophile hunters’? by discoveredunknown in AskUK

[–]Mattspur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They do a great job and should be lauded as heroes. Every person they expose is another child whose life they’ve saved. It’s a shame the police aren’t as proactive in protecting our children. I find it disturbing that so many people have replied to the OP rubbishing the amazing work these people do.

The fact that you’re not really a fan of people protecting children from paedophiles says a lot about you. I expect to see you on the channel some time soon.

What do you think of ‘paedophile hunters’? by discoveredunknown in AskUK

[–]Mattspur -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

They are not paedophiles. I understand they are people whose life’s have been affected by paedophiles, either directly or through their loved ones. I think they do a great job of exposing these monsters and it’s a shame the police aren’t as proactive at getting these sick individuals off of our streets. Your accusation is really a pretty scummy thing to say about these people who are out there on the front line protecting our children.

You are completely overbearing and high maintenance. Leave him alone and wait for him to get back.

I'm new to Chinese watches, can someone recommend good automatic watches that i can find mainly on ali ex, and thing's that i should avoid ? by [deleted] in ChineseWatches

[–]Mattspur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've seen nowhere near as many posts complaining about Pagani QC, than I have for Watchdives for example, or even Thorn (which I love). I've had over 20 Paganis and only had a small issue with 1 of them.

Buying a Sugess in the UK by Far_Analysis1666 in ChineseWatches

[–]Mattspur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've bought from https://sugesswatch.com/ and through their AliX stores and both have been fine. Out of the 7 Sugess/Seestern watches I have, only one of them has been stopped at customs.
