BTFD Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 I'd go for Universal Soldier as Van Damme's best, but I haven't seen it in a long time. Timecop is still surprisingly good fun too. I once spent the night in a lassie's bed under a slanted roof ( I want to say the eaves, but that's the overhanging external bit). She'd put up a huge Double Impact poster (see below) on the ceiling, so I had to spend the night knowing that Jean Claude would be making intense eye contact with me from about a foot away whenever I opened my eyes, and trying not to think about why she wanted it above her bed in the first place 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, we have three statements, all aimed at denigrating women’s football, two of them factually incorrect, and one of them an obvious offensive reference. Yea, I’m going to stand by by misogynistic comments accusation. If you wish to express a view you dislike women’s football, that’s fine…but attempting to denigrate the game by making up shite is easily crossing a line. If you are indeed involved in education, I would fear for your objectivity involving female students.

So I viewed the highlights of one of the referenced games, Woman’s Super League Manchester United vs West Ham, and I see clearly the keepers diving to make saves. Hummmmm. There was one game referenced in my post - which is not the one that you've pretended to watch for your 'analysis'. Goalkeepers in women's football cannot perform that task to the required level of quality to fulfil that role - as aptly demonstrated by the dogshite efforts within the WSL (the most professional league this side of the Atlantic), as well as the regular World Cups too. Where your 'misogyny!!!111!!!' claim falls apart is that this has got nothing to do with them being female. It's not an inherently gendered flaw. The fact however remains that women's football in its current state is stacked with hopeless goalkeepers and dung defending at the supposedly highest, box office levels of the game. Denying that reality is sexist patronising. Quote 2) Viewing the same match I see defenders defending, in a normal conventional manner. Hummmmm. See above. Quote 3) Then you move to infantilize the players with the five year old FIFA comment. Hummmmm. You must have a meltdown when you check literally any match thread on this forum then, and find the delicate little flowers who played the matches being infantilised. Oh wait you wouldn't - because you contribute even less to the Scottish part of the forum than your perennially wrong, Texan blowhard hot takes over here. Quote So, we have three statements, all aimed at denigrating women’s football, two of them factually incorrect, and one of them an obvious offensive reference. If it's an offensive reference then you can contact the moderators to see if they agree with your laughable claim of misogyny. It's put up or shut up time champ. Quote If you wish to express a view you dislike women’s football, that’s fine…but attempting to denigrate the game by making up shite is easily crossing a line. Billions of people haven't died yet to make a village idiot like you in charge of drawing the line for anything, so we can file your view in the bin where it belongs then. Quote If you are indeed involved in education, I would fear for your objectivity involving female students. So go ahead and red dot away, it probably gives you the same satisfaction as marking down papers and tests likely gives you. Why don't you write a letter of complaint then and see where your pathetic argument takes you. Edited March 27 by vikingTON 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what then is it, that teams in Europe are deliberately paying poor players? Oh, wait, I provided an example of female keepers diving…on that side of the Atlantic…in the UK. So your facts are actually opinions…and your reality is in your own mind. Let’s take a minute to review a term here: Misogyny - is hatred of, contempt for, or prejudice against women. It is a form of sexism that is used to keep women at a lower social status than men, thus maintaining the social roles of patriarchy. Whoops, looks like we know who the patronizing misogynist is here. 6 hours ago, virginton said: If it's an offensive reference then you can contact the moderators to see if they agree with your laughable claim of misogyny. It's put up or shut up time champ. It’s funny, but you seem to thing that the moderators aren’t aware of your behavior. They are, but they probably keep you around for amusement. Given your propensity for bombastic and nonsensical rhetoric, you calling anyone the village idiot is amusing. Do you realize that that constantly resorting to implicitly demeaning terms in berating those trying to debate you is a classical sign of either narcissistic behavioral disorder or some form of delusional mental illness? There is also the possibility that you are in the early stages of dementia, so a complete checkup would be prudent. 6 hours ago, virginton said: Why don't you write a letter of complaint then and see where your pathetic argument takes you.

vikingTON Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 All that word salad to confirm that the forum's resident champion of women's rights refuses to use the report button for the misogyny he's 'identified'. Such a selfless champion for the cause! Alternatively, we could file this blustering shitebag effort alongside the time when you outrageously accused another poster of being a Russian troll bot because he contradicted your latest, thick as f**k 'contributions'. A thoroughly vile piece of work. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get plenty of that watching Rangers. Last game, vs M'well, case in point. We can't deal with a cross into the box and that's been a problem for a long time. That's with a back four, three of whom played in a European final less than a year ago. The slog-fest your Championship peers served up on Friday was an embarrassment. Dull, unimaginative and uninspiring. They can certainly run faster and kick the ball harder but usually to no one. A complete absence of footballing nous. In contrast, the top 4 WSL teams use the ball well and their passing and movement is excellent. Man C's defence was organised on Sunday in such a way as to make the Italian catenaccio system of old look weak and slipshod. Yes, it's football played at 75% pace of the men's game but that doesn't make it a bad watch. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 (edited) Samuel L. Jackson's character in the film A Time To Kill should never have got off with the innocent verdict. No excuses for vigilante justice. If the legal system doesn't like the law then get it changed, but whilst it's law, get rid of the wishy-washy "aye, but he deserved it in that particular instance" can of worms.

He does make some good and incisive points though. But thinking about it, the condescension far outweighs his contribution to any rational debate. On balance, he should just f**k off and reinvent himself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
