Modern Football Bol**cks

As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

“”Layth's Take

Hello, this newsletter was going to be an update about the Gooner Fanzine, but given the incredible success of the Lionesses, we'll save our latest news until next week, suffice to say, we are still well short of our target, so please do support us if you can. In the meantime, a massive thank you to everyone who has taken out a subscription.””

Complains about lack of subscriptions to the gooner, proceeds to send emails about women’s football.

Some people just can’t be helped,

What always amazes me....although it no longer surprises me....is how these people manage to blag their way through life. The fact that they make all the right noises, but then fail to produce the goods, rarely seems to catch up with them.

I'd suggest that it's far worse now than it once was, because espousing the "correct" opinions opens doors and tends to keep them safe. Who's going to sack a bloke with all the right woke credentials? There would be an outcry. I always maintained that was why Southgate made such an exhibition of his woke beliefs....it would have made it difficult for the FA to sack St. Gareth of Southgate.

You gotta laugh or you’d cry. These people that enforce the DEI policy (usually a woman) are by definition untouchable. They’re part of the HR dept which are also usually filled with women.

Time was that it was the “Personnel Dept” and made no decisions, but just administered the salaries, holiday allowances, sick leave etc. Just back office service providers. Now they exercise power and senior management are terrified about upsetting them as they have the power to finish careers and they know it. Mid management clerks who have authority way beyond their station and ability.

As you say Dec, they steal a living because they’re untouchable and make a big deal out of the simplest of issues.

It should also be noted that if the comments under that video are representative of our fan base then as a club we're utterly fucked.

Yet another PR thing to try and distract the Gooners who are Numpties from the FACT, that even with new players were still "Struggling" against far lesser Teams.

Read the article but am a little confused, maybe I'm missing something. He was sacked by the PGMOL last December, but has now had an eight week ban from the FA (and has also had a UEFA ban)....so what is he banned from? If he was sacked by the PGMOL, then banning him from refereeing for eight weeks is a bit pointless isn't it??

Maybe it means he can't even ref a game over the park?

Not had much of a year really has he....slates Klopp and Liverpool and some fucker releases a recording of it, therefore gets the sack, gets implicated in a betting scandal, gets filmed doing a line of "white powder", gets banned by EUFA, gets banned by the FA and then comes out as gay. :lol: :lol:

I wonder if after each incident, some irritating fucker said to him, "Oh well, don't worry, things can't get much worse." Oh yes they can. :D

Unless he is a mouser and was trying the classic mouser victim tactic by trying to downplay each thing with something more newsworthy as he went along and he just got it spectacularly wrong? :lol: :wink:

Well if I recall correctly various terms such as: "Drugs" "Slagging Off Others" "Lying" "Dis-honesty" ..so yeah! I reckon he's a Mouser alright!
