How can you not understand the principle of different things gross different people out?

I understand that you just tried to suggest that if we saw two men kissing we should tell them to do it in private.

I don't think he suggested that at all tbh.

You might want to re-read what he said then.

No, your projecting is wrong.

It's simply about different thing gross different people out and your assertion that people don't be slaves to things they don't have much control over is silly.

The fact that forever and a day people have shouted out to straight couples to get a room when they start to gross people out others with their carrying on with PDA suggests people really just don't want to watch anyone doing anything much at all in that kind of thing.

Right so straight people revolt people just as much as gay people so everyone is entitled to do it in public and it shouldn't be an issue for anyone. Cool cool.

Everyone is entitled to do it where they want.

Just as people are entitled to tell them to get a room if they are grossing them out.

So we worked out it's not homophobia, it's just being grossed out by things. Cool cool.

What a horrible take.

 

[Bostonian]

What a horrible take.

Is it?

Seems rather reasonable. Grouping everyone together.

 

[Magma]

wow, a whole 120 people. that can definitely be extrapolated to everyone

 

[Restricted Free Agent]

Are you suggesting that people naturally react to men kissing like that? And that their reactions aren't instead shaped by the historical attitude of society, the media and politicians towards the LGBT community?

Homosexual behaviour has been recorded in over 450 species, homophobia has only ever been recorded in one. There is nothing innate or natural about homophobia, it's learnt

RIP Walter Smith. Rangers were quite the team back in the day with him at the helm and has done plenty for the game.

Yeah gutted. Great Rangers man, he will be missed. RIP

Was going to go to the Aberdeen game tonight, but the city is shutting down for a climate change convention so getting in and out would've been chaos.

Would be surprised if the PL doesn't follow ifab on this.

Gap between top and the rest will widen even further.

I don't get this line of thinking at all. Many managers won't make a sub because they need them up their sleeve in case of injury when they have 3 available only to them.


With 5 subs that doesn't become an issue. Look at all the European games this season, most clubs have been using 4 or more subs per game. That's because they are able to sub players on and still be able to call on more if they have an injury or two. Means more players can be involved every week which IMO is also a good thing.

When we had 5 subs in League One and the depth of our squad we were able to easily run over 90% of the league late in games as our quality off the bench was much stronger than theirs. Can only think the same would happen at a higher level.

Well for teams with shallow depth they’re limited in who to put on…yet opposition can change nearly half the team with hundreds of millions of dollars of fresh talent. How can that not be an advantage. That’s two extra fresh players

I would think Bielsa would be all for it, he can have his players run harder and longer and bring more fresh legs in without having to keep a sub in reserve for a possible injury.

Once it becomes a permanent rule managers and squads will adapt to it. What you are saying isn't coming to fruition in European football where 4 to 5 subs are commonly being used. It's mostly squad players coming on to keep players fit or to replace an injured player.

And changing nearly half a team at once can be a disadvantage at times.

If Ifab make it permanent I don't see the PL going rogue on this one.

Not sure Bielsa would as we’re very thin. Subs 4 & 5 would be kids. Great to give them more chances but when subs 1 & 2 are already kids team becomes too stretched. Compare it with top teams benches on the weekend. And doesn’t matter as much in other leagues because England’s top teams have much more money and depth.

 

[chef]

I don't like it, I think it'd favour Chelsea and City way more than anyone else and increase our advantage over most of the competition.
