... and in Other Football News

Often the pendulum is too far to one side and needs to swing back to the middle, often too the pendulum swings past the middle and too far to the other side, as it were.

 

but pulling him up for saying it shows the height of narrow mindedness - and there lies the problem with the intolerant minority - either accept our view or its death by twitter - disgusting really

 

Corrected. Indeed he did get stuck in and could play as well. And I’m no Liverpool fan but credit where it’s due.

 

He must have been in a good mood - imagine if he'd said "Take a year off"

 

I've seen just as many (and if not more) people sticking up for him on twitter as criticising him.

Why does criticising what he said show narrow mindedness? Are people not allowed to point out that they didn't agree with what he said?

Also remember that the number of people who use twitter regularly is tiny, I bet Souness isn't losing any sleep over it.

 

330 million is tiny? Wish my bank account had that tiny number of pounds in it.

 

Is that steptoe

 

Bit of pointless linguistic trivia but the word ‘man’ was semantically gender-neutral in Old English, Middle English and Early Modern English. In Old English, ‘mann’ (pl. ‘menn’) just meant ‘person/people’. If you wanted to specify gender, it would be ‘wer’ for male and ‘wíf’ for female.

 

Well, yes compared to over seven and a half billion people in the world. And I was talking about activity more than anything, twitter is dominated by people who post a lot. The vast majority only post rarely, so its bark is often worse than its bite.

 

Wilfred Bramble. No less. Did he play Paul McCartney's grandad in a Beatles singalong?

 

It says 330 million use it regularly.

 

As anyone who has ever seen A Hard Day’s Night would tell you, yes. Which is a lot of people.

 

I thought it was one of em. Not bad movies if the truth be told, though I can't recall the plots. I'm sure the late, great John Junkin had a role as a Beatles insider.

 

But what does use mean? Once a week? Twice a week? Every day? View or post?

That's not really my point anyway. This is all basically a storm in a teacup but yet another excuse for people to go 'YOU CAN'T SAY ANYTHING THESE DAYS'.

Graeme Souness said something, some other people said it was a sloppy way to say it and then the permanently offended (on BOTH sides) couldn't stop going on about it. The offence culture in the country is tiresome. Listening to both sides is fine and not everything has to be a chance to demonstrate how anti-woke you are.

 

It’s not that he is been criticised so much as demonised by some so quickly. I guess that’s social media.

 

because you said he was lazy and narrow minded for saying it - you cant have it both ways

 

It says regularly. It isn’t an excuse to say that, it is an example.

 

World's ****ed.

 

Genuinely, I don’t understand what you mean.

I think it was lazy and showed narrow-mindedness. Why am i not allowed to say that? What other way am I trying to have it?
