Supporter Liason Officer sounds like a key role.
It might have been more appropriate to call it Chief Human Shield, though  . |

I was only able to listen to it on TalkSport but it sounded like a cracker, especially the second half.
Top marks to Joe Shennan and ex-Scotland assistant manager Mark McGhee for excellent punditry. Unlike most of the clowns who provide football commentaries on the radio they:
- Weren't hysterical
- Focused on the action on the pitch
- Didn't forget that some listeners, probably most, *cannot see what is happening*. If the commentary degenerates into waffle about football in general, golf days, other teams or any other irrelevant topic, it's infuriating
- Didn't try to be comedians
- Acknowledged how fortunate they were to be able to watch such a high profile game and the moments of quality and drama the second half provided. |

There used to be one in St Albans and the chips were astonishingly good 👍. Takeaway chips and gravy from there on a cold winter's night, consumed between pubs - there are so many good one in St Albans - used to be wonderful. |

Nice quote, by Voltaire, as it happens, although I am not sufficiently well read to have known that previously  . |

Ah, your post has handily reminded me of something. Thank you!
I used to work for a reasonably well known Internet security company which provides anti-virus and other security services to mobile operators, telcos, ISPs and other service providers.
I recall that back in 2018, they launched a feature for their Internet security app which enabled parents to disable Internet access for their children based on the time of day. It was also possible to block access to certain websites and apps. As long as the app was loaded onto the child's device - something which was an absolute doddle to do - they were given this level of control. |

Re your second paragraph, the reason is a piece of legislation passed 30 years ago, when the Internet was in short trousers and Bill Clinton was in the oval office. It's called section 230 and absolves platform providers of any responsibility for content shared on their infrastructure. They are legally protected.
The good news is that law may be about to change:

No decent Fenders in the shop, Bluce? My Fender Player is lovely and cost roughly that much.
In other news, I recently saw my guitar playing French godson for the first time in 20 years. He and his wife have recently had a little girl and I asked him whether fatherhood leaves him any time to play his guitar.
He said:"When she wakes up in the middle of the night and I settle her back down and linger to see if she drifts off, I do sometimes play. I plug the headphones in and practise some Slayer riffs!" 
Well, he did use to be in a death metal band! |

I get that it's irritating for people who aren't interested in Scotland, Ted, but many Scots I know fear they will never see their team in another World Cup in their lifetime.

"The best/only way out of the cycle is regularly selling players for big profit".
The trouble is, those players we want to sell for a healthy profit may not be noticed unless they are playing in a team which is in serious contention for promotion.
In my humble opinion, this is why we can't just rely on young "ballers" we're fattening up for market. We also need some grit, experience and physicality, not to mention a few players who are willing to commit to achieve something meaningful
*at QPR* not just at a bigger club later in their careers.
Or something. Kicking on isn't easy, I bet Bristol City fans, as an example, have this same soul-searching debate even more often than us. |

Wow, that is a fabulous prediction tool, thanks for posting  .
Had a quick stab at it and - look away now, those of you who are of a nervous disposition  - I have England losing to France in the final and Portugal coming third ahead of Belgium.
I'm sure it will pan out completely differently . |

It is feasible and could be safe for clubs if a bond system, like the one which exists in the world of mining, were introduced for new owners.
With the mining bond system, prospectors need to deposit a substantial sum of money in advance of all works. This is to cover the cost of restoring the land to as near as possible to its original state in the event of the mining company going bust.
Alternatively, you abandon the current, income based system - which favours the big clubs - and introduce a salary budget, the same for all clubs.
All pie in the sky, of course  . |
