I’m in love with this sentence:
“The degree to which a person can grow is directly proportional to the amount of truth he can accept about himself without running away.”
Started a new job aged 62. Put the word around that I'm slightly autistic so I'm uncomfortable in social situations just because I can't be bothered with small talk and getting to know anyone new at this point in my life
In case you forgot, we live on a planet where lightning turns sand into glass, dolphins give each other names, the ocean glows in the dark, and rain has a scent before it falls. You stand here with a beating heart, a steady moon above, and a world quietly, absurdly beautiful.
Carl Jung was right when he wrote that if a man does not face his shadow by age 35 he will not improve. He will calcify. His defense will become his personality.
@Southside_Gunn The 3 track run from Running Late Freestyle - Vision - Bear took me out.
Every single album the guy delivers. Utterly unreal and unlike anyone else I listen to.
Pep Guardiola is one of only two managers in English top-flight history to manage in 10 seasons and finish in the top-four each season.
The other? Don Revie with Leeds United between 1964-65 and 1973-74. #lufc
If they’re taking cheating this seriously off the pitch with Saints then why the fuck can’t they stop players openly cheating throwing themselves on the floor rolling around like they’re dying before jumping up and running off. Easy fix for it
Expelling Southampton was the only decision that would act as a deterrent and the most likely decision from the EFL.
The playoffs are considered a separate competition to the league and when a sporting sanction was the only feasible penalty (when £200m is the prize no fine would do) - the only option was to remove them - there are no points in the playoffs.
Football is defined by the finest of margins and any edge can be the difference.
When #LUFC spied on Derby they broke no specific law.
EFL Regulation 127 (the anti-espionage rule) was brought in after Spygate 1.0.
In addition to knowingly breaking that regulation, I presume aggravating factors would have included: the change of clothes by the spy; the Harwood-Bellis binocular celebration; the delay in admission by Southampton and other clubs having strong suspicions that they were also spied on.
Spying by its nature cannot be committed in good faith.
The fairness and integrity of the competition would have been at the forefront of the determination.
It’s cruel on Southampton’s fans especially those who travel every week and would have already made plans for the final.
But it was also cruel on Middlesbrough - who did nothing wrong, who broke no rules - and their fans.
Boro are absolutely right in their assertion that the information gleaned by the spy could very well have made the difference in such tight games.
Whatever the decision, I assumed that either club would take further action - I wouldn’t be surprised if the outcome of Spygate 2.0 led Southampton to look at their legal options - the stakes are that high.
But for me the right and fair decision was made - the precedent had been set when Swindon were expelled from the EFL Trophy.
The integrity of the competition is paramount and first and foremost,
it has to be fair.
Southampton spied and got booted out, it’s sensational, it’s (almost completely) unprecedented - but it’s absolutely the correct outcome.
