  • I don’t think it’s that simple.

    I think 3.2% of sexual assault cases lead to a conviction.

    The way the law works, you only need to prove reasonable doubt which is incredible easy when consent is a concept.

    They estimated 85,000 women a year are raped or sexually assaulted. 2022 there were 2,223 charges of rape.

    There does seem to be a priority to protect innocent men against potentially malicious allegations, over prosecuting rapists and reducing the number of women being raped.

    If you remove or erode the social unacceptability of rape and sexual assault, that’s also incredible detrimental.

    To me, it does seem more likely a women isn’t lying than is & knowing that it’s hard to prove, I do still think there needs to be some action.

    I’d like to see a campaign or something by the league. Creating a bit of a dialogue about sexual assault.

    It’s why I think a stronger female presence in the game is so important. We need more women’s voices in the game




  • Henry wasn’t robbed. I’ve noticed this narrative crop up, I think as more fans who didn’t watch football then.

    Nedved got 62 more points. Which is way more than Ronaldo (23), Owen (36), Figo (16), Shevchenko (36).

    It was only journalists who voted at the time. Now it’s also captains and coaches of national teams.

    Nedved was unreal that season. Had he not been suspended Juve would have won the CL.

    I think he gets criminally underrated and as time has passed.

    Henry didn’t win it because of the CL really. Arsenal didn’t get out of their second group over Ajax and Valencia whereas Nedved dragged Juve to a final.







  • Oh god I totally agree.

    I think this forum is a great example of why VAR exists & why it’s shit.

    Most people on here only watch their team on the TV, probably didn’t play. Consume football through online, mostly.

    As a result there is this fucking hysteria around decisions and an obsession with there not being any errors.

    It’s seen as like some deep rooted injustice now if a decision doesn’t go your way. Previously that was just sort of accepted & people move on. Now we have Reddit and twitter so people don’t move on, they post it and show angles and argue about it.

    Before, you just went to the game or watched it on TV and that was kind of your consumption of that game over with.

    I don’t know why people are so quick to ignore the actual football. Like Newcastle Arsenal. Tight game, but Newcastle were better than Arsenal. Yeah gooners didn’t get bailed out by the referee, but the fact is they still weren’t as good and that’s why they lost. - but all of that becomes irrelevant because there is some controversy to obsess over.

    Had Arsenal just played well & won we wouldn’t have a fucking club statement, Arteta acting like he’s Malcom X & gooners fabricating illuminati level conspiracy theory bullshit as those Mike Dean is this puppet master over all pundits.
