SEE YOU! A brand spanking new modern fitba thread 2020/21

Did he shart himself so badly it went up the front?

 

Yeah, I was feeling sentimental last night. I was looking up some of my old haunts near my old military stations. That turned out to be a depressing task. Favorite bar here -demolished 2006. Favorite night club there- demolished 2009. This old bar is now a fashion store. This club is now a motel. They even had this big beautiful shopping mall on the border of N. Bethesda & Rockville. The White Flint Mall. Three stories, five stories in the anchor store (Bloomingdale's) & the metro red line had a stop right in back of it. Demolished in 2016.

 

Retail is dying on its arse generally...you'll know debenhams and topman/Topshop from your many visits to ingerland- both went bust on tuesday. Dropping one by one

 

Right. A lot of our classic chain stores here are going under or being bought out by other chains. I normally wouldn't mention a shopping mall but this was inside a huge, beautiful building. I was last there in 2000. It was always busy. If someone were to walk up to me then and said "In 15 years, every business in here will be permanently closed and in 16 year this building will be rubble....because people won't need this place any more," it would have blown my mind. I am seeing it happen and it still blows my mind.

 

Sepsi Sfantu Gheorghe defeated FC Botosani bringing them to fourth in Romanian Liga 1 standings.

 

It's pretty sad. Undoubtedly the pandemic sped up the decline, but the decline already existed and was well in force for many years.

Over the last 15 years or so i've worked near two different shopping malls. Both are and have been ghost towns outside of the lunch hour pre-pandemic. The one nearest me currently was never some shopping mecca, but for its location had a lot of foot traffic and even for its smaller size had some nice stores. They were mostly of the chain variety but not Dollar Stores and that ilk.

Now it's nothing but storefronts for wireless providers and various fast food joints.

Looking for a new pair of shoes to try on? How about some pants? Perhaps you want to peruse some books or buy some music? Find a unique gift for somebody?

No to all of the above. Your "retail" options are a kiosk selling cases for cell phones in various colours.

 

Can anybody please tell me how, if possible, a standard Kindle can be connected to a TV?

 

"Aston .....................VILLAGE!!!"

"Soveijteitojertjh; United"

Where the fuck did they find him.

 

Those aren't clubs. Those are tropical diseases.

 

That was the short version. He actually went on to announce scores from other leagues (La Liga, Seria A, etc.) I haven't seen it but could only imagine how that went.

 

Celtic on course to go the most home games without a win in the clubs history. Picked some year to do it, way to cheer us fucking up, Sellik

 

Fans attacking our ain team bus. What a year

 

I must've scrolled through about 300 YouTube comments on various videos re:the booing at the weekend. Literally 100% in support of the fans without a single dissenting voice.

 

I've never used a Kindle but presumably you would need some kind of adaptor like USB to HDMI.

 

Barcelona vs Juventus. Messi vs Ronaldo and the stadium is empty. Kind of shocking. You figure they would be able to sell some tickets but i guess nobody is interested.

 

Well that was fast - fans threatened with bans and browbeaten into pretending they actually DO want to watch a BLM demo every time they turn up to watch a fitbaw match.

 

What's going on? I'm watching a Barca-Juve stream and the comments are saying the PSG came was halted.

 

There was booing of the players taking the knee at the weekend at a few games, the most publicized example being at millwall (who can most easily be painted as racist). That club's higher ups intervened and low and behold, silence this time. Front page bbc news

Seems the current circumscription of sanctioned speech/thought defaults at us watching every player in british football kneel in religious deference for George before every game, forever. Suppose we better just get used to it as part of the age old ritual of the national game: pre-game pints, programs, turnstiles, pies, radical intersectional post modernism & calls for marxist revolution.

 

I don't think it will last. I think there will be some sort of shift whereby the powers spin it out into something else, it's the Northern Ireland of soccer right now, they want out of it but they just don't know how. I should imagine once the crowds are back to 57000 strong and there's a real chance of some major disruption that they will decide that the time has come to end it.........."In honour of St George the Perp there will now be..........._______________" {insert some bollox}

 

Steve Thompson among ex-internationals taking legal action over brain injuries

 

A minutes applause for everybody's favourite drugged up counterfeiter.

 

Aye, rough game the rugby. I worked right up close at the touchline for many and the rolling clatter of knees against heids in the steamy, freezing cold...wince

 

It's not even that. It's the line speeds are now so high that what used to be routine horseplay is now minor CAR accident stuff. Guys get hit so hard in the chest their heads tremor. Rugby is in real trouble. I knew this was coming....once I got an understanding of what causes CTE I just said to myself that modern Rugby was a sport of all sports to generate these cases. 80 minutes. Its not chess moves like football its constant pick and run and hit and tackle etc. A game MADE for CTE since professionalism came in.

 

Aye, its tough to watch at times....human demolition derby

 

Speaking of tough to watch, despite beating Lille i believe we just managed to equal the most goals EVER conceded in the europa league group stages pipping Shamrock Rovers and equalling a team called 'Vadar'(?). IF YOU KNOW YOUR HISTORY....its enough to make your heart grow sad

Well done Der Hun, top of their group as we were last year. I actually feel like they're saving face for us a bit.

 

This season..... SMFH. I expect a call up at this rate.
