UEFA FFP investigation - CAS decision to be announced Monday, 13th July 9.30am BST

[Kenward Garg]

Yes, as much as a I despise these reporters’ tactics, hubris, untruthfulness, vitriol, and the Harris family’s apparent general disdain for the welfare of others — and perhaps because of all of that — I cannot bring myself to wish this sort of suffering on even them.

A mental breakdown can be incredibly painful and destructive to both the person and their family/friends, and I can’t say there are many people I would want to see afflicted with it.

Ultimately, the only thing that sets us apart is not acting as they do. It’s more difficult, very rarely pleasant, often mentally/spiritually taxing, and always frustrating, but being the example of what you wish to see in the world is, in the end, one of our only means of potentially effecting change. It’s one of the truest expressions of agency and compassion.

@Prestwich_Blue’s family deserved that better example, as do many others, and we should be the ones setting it, because we know we cannot depend on the Harrises, Delaneys, and Conns of the world to consistently do so.

I believe it was Mahatma Gandhi who said an eye for an eye and the whole world will go blind.

You might like Robert Fisk. He’s spoken on that subject a few times.

I’ve always found Fisk to be a little sententious. Sorry!

 

[Northblue]

Imagine he's from the smoke

Understand you can often find Pannick on the streets of London

Don’t forget Dublin, Dundee and Humberside

The American libertarian academic Noam Chomsky characterises 5 filters of the modern commercial media:

1. Ownership
2. Advertising
3. Media elite
4. Flak
5. The common enemy

Coverage of City fits this pattern - particularly the flak and common enemy. For flak see the usual suspects all lining up to pen articles criticising the gullible Manchester City fan taken in by their billionaire owner.

He's a libertarian socialist. Quite a big difference.

I prefer his sonnets.

I reckon CAS may rule our appeal next month because CFCB banned Milan on June 2018 and CAS ruled on July 2018 a month later.

He's an anarchist. Self-proclaimed.

 

[The perfect fumble]

I’d be careful of the unknown known.
The stuff we think we know but are actually mistaken.

Pep has the right idea....

I’ve noticed David Conn is giving Boris pelters, normally I’d say good for him but now I’m thinking the Conservative party is a valued institution & Boris is a Prime Minister so don’t we need to show them respect.

Fck it’s getting hard following these rules.

I see what you did there ;)
