    The balls on these fucking people......a kid asked me to look at a contract he was asked to sign. He's a school leaver with no major brains.....and by that means he's to be treated like shit, apparently.

    I don't know if this is a total accident of drafting or if these people are just that fucking shitty.

    I think it's the latter.

    I told him to sign fuck all as he's under 18 and tell the would-be employer that.

    I also told him he's under no obligation to tell any cunt anything about what he does outside of his immediate place of work and he's entitled to take up work elsewhere even if to do so brought him into conflict with his employer.

    The only thing that could possibly happen would be that he loses his job....his statutory rights and his human rights (of free association and free assembly) are unfettered by some shit dreamt up by a cuck in an office

    The (first) use of the word manager starts with a capital letter which both clearly and unambiguously establishes their authority.

    No way to get out of it. Ironclad contract.

    I'd have advised him to sign it. The clause is almost certainly an unlawful restraint in trade clause, and therefore he can sign it with impunity, free to breach it without having to worry about it too much.

    I've seen plenty of those. I sign them. They are a waste of words.

    He'll sign anyways cos he gives two fucks and just wants the money. But he was taken back by what he correctly interpreted as an attempt to dictate to him who he could and couldn't talk to without permission, which is basically what it attempts to erect, a feudal restraint.

    It is if course unenforceable. I tried to explain the concept of futility to him ie suppose he'd started this new job and already had a prior job he didn't tell them about. .... The clause would be redundant from jump street

    It's just shocking what's going on out there.

    They actually believe that themselves...."it's a contract".....like the very words themselves carried huge meaning that crushed all dissent and reason :Jest:

    Some people believe that if absolutely anything is signed it's legally binding. You sneakily put something in the fine print that said the person has to give you their first born child? Well they have to because they signed it you see.

    It's true and with Covid now there's this fucking bending to rules which used to get questioned routinely. People get steamrolled. And this cost of living has people terrified so they just go along with things. It's revolting. I wish I'd felt like this 20 years ago bu then again things weren't this bad 20 years ago :Jest:

    I hope Haaland wasn't abused when he signed his contract. I hope he got a good deal. He's such a young boy.

    Apparently the plan to blame Pool fans was in the works BEFORE the events unfolded.

    Fucking continental scumbags.

    I was listening to Bill Burr when I photographed it...he had nothing to do with any of this :Jest: :Jest:

    Celtic's turnover up to £90m for last season excluding transfers. Which is a pittance compared to EPL but compares well to comparator clubs like Ajax, Porto, Benfica before CL money is factored. Considering we have zero net debts, a young squad and the next two years revenues will be greatly inflated by CL money, we're in a good position to kick-on here. THE CELTIC PUBLIC LIMITED COMPANY.

    That'll happen eventually but Id be surprised if it does before the end of next season. He thinks the job he took on was to make Celtic a relevant champions league outfit again and he wants to do the job before he takes a new one on. Genuinely think he's a straight shooter in that way. He's never left a job before hitting his mark before.

    England have created fuck all so far. Lacking creativity big time. No urgency. Too pedestrian.

    I know we touched on it before, but is anyone else NOT excited for this World Cup? Usually nothing is more exciting for me than the World Cup or the Euro. But holding it in December and in Qatar just doesn’t do it for me.

    Best collection of players since the late 90s. Clampet of a manager. Been saying as much for years. Should have won the Euros. Now fucked.

    Anyone? I believe every single person who posts in this thread feels similarly.

    Once it comes around admittedly my interest will probably rise a bit because of the hype and so on, but it will be mostly because there's not much else to watch.

    Overall it was a pathetic showing from England. Few good moments in the second half. Italy were better from the off. The goal was exquisite.

    I have thought about it. Yes it's possible as Jimmy said, maybe the pints just hit me later.

    But from her perspective, everything worked out too perfectly. She needed me unconscious to steal from me. She needed me out of the public eye while I was unconscious.

    I met her and I was fine. Shortly after meeting her I was tits up in a parking garage that she took me to and couldn't walk after that.

    She drugged me. I don't know how but she drugged me.

    The girl, Faye, who is shown at 4:22 is the one who rolled me. And I'm pretty sure it was that same parking garage she took me to. Her and her husband have been at this for years.

    Aye, i dont think I'll watch much of it. I usually catch the england games out of curiosity but beyond that I'll probably just wait for the semis unless its a real glamour tie like france-brazil or something.

    More looking forward to celtic playing everton in australia

    Who was the better overall player- Salah or Suarez?

    Suarez is a total total footballer and only his discipline issues and some horrendous luck kept him out of the history books 7 years before Salah -in a better side - turned the trick.

    Make no mistake about it, Suarez was the real deal. I always said he was the Duran of football. An ultra talented sneaky mean bastard that was 2,3 steps ahead of his own team mates never mind the adversaries.

    And Suarez had no pace like Salah, he was not a fast runner..he was just an arch predator. He used to light on mistakes like a lion lights on a dozing gazelle.

    You won't see anyone cite this goal but for me this is the epitome of the guy....seizing on mistakes, turning nothing into something and something into a goal....









    Didn't have the Ray Leonardness of Messi but it's noteworthy he wound up on the same side eventually, winning a European Cup with him.
