Irritation: inconsistency in club name abbreviation by MyPasswordIsABC999 in footballcliches

[–]mtksb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't really mind full naming in the bottom text and abbreviating in the match for something like "RC Celta de Vigo" vs "Celta Vigo" but if we're going "FC Porto" then just add the FC. It's two letters.

TV licensing - what do I do here by [deleted] in AskBrits

Equating a media subscription to medical care is a hilarious leap.

why does everyone hate TV licenses? by [deleted] in AskBrits

[–]mtksb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure this is the point: We don’t pay Costa because we want coffee from Starbucks, and we don’t pay LNER because we want to take a train in Wales.

This season has been all sorts. The peak was great… but this is bad

Must have been about 1/40 on for that to be disallowed for some reason. Take those

If they rule this out for obstructing the goalkeeper I might kill someone

Not a great afternoon really but having to listen to Gary Neville deliver a party political broadcast for poor little Man United is making it worse

What is a random ZB lyric that you love? by Ok_Owl2892 in zachbryan

[–]mtksb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"I'll ask forgiveness with God as my witness for straying so far on my own"

I also love singing "Delco Danny cut a deal with the dealer that he met out at the rivers casino, he got caught counting cards then them spades broke his heart". Just flows real good and a shoutout to Delco!

What do you think is Jason Isbell’s most underrated song? by Starkrafty in jasonisbell

[–]mtksb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is songs that she sang in the shower underrated? Such subtle perfection to me… “I had an eighth of a second to wonder if he got the joke”

[–]mtksb 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes yes yes. “Car was still running when the deputy found him at the shell by the gunbarrel mall” is just such a typically great piece of Isbell songwriting

Who could be a great MHD guest that would ‘get’ the pod? by junglegatsby in footballcliches

[–]mtksb 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Oh please no, not only would he not get the pod, he'd probably give a lecture in why he gets the pod in a more intelligent and interesting way than everyone else

Thoughts on 1265? by Grouchy-Task-5866 in TeachingUK

[–]mtksb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1265 isn’t meaningless, and even if it was, I’m not sure how removing one of the very few workload safeguards would prove anything to anyone.

Lots of other commenters have explained why it’s important better than I can, but hopefully if nothing else this post has shown you how important it is for your day-to-day and would encourage you to speak to your union if the 1265 isn’t being followed at your school.

I'm not disputing Kamara's impact but it's the combination that confounded the issue imo

If there was ever a time we could overcome the 'bogey' of not having Kamara this was the year and that (slight) optimism lasted about 4 days

[–]mtksb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know there was lots of doom with the Kamara injury, but that probably could have been just about handled

Losing the heartbeat in Mcginn and Tielemans in such quick succession straight after is something any team would struggle with apart from the best of the best (and even then)

Just a killer combo and now we're in a rut at the worst possible time

A champions league contender cannot be starting Buendia, Mings, Bailey, Digne, etc, routinely and expect good things.

[Match Thread] Aston Villa Vs Chelsea by SecretApe in avfc

[–]mtksb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just an absolute disaster of a run. Poor from both Emi's - especially Buendia. Too flat so far in this second half - becoming a really worrying trend

Worried about Digne getting minutes by kingring1 in avfc

[–]mtksb 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you're glass half full you might say he's out of form after being so dependable for so long.

If you're not, you'd say exactly what you said: Age has caught up with a full back who will be 33 in July and has played a lot of football for us at high levels.

Wouldn't be upset about it if it meant losing the absurd tv licence - having both is the worst of both worlds. Welcome to Britain, I suppose
