Rodgers has passed down his touchy feely habits down to Suarez and Gerrard

 

[gkmacca]

That bloke behind them looks really pathetic. 'I wish I had a special friend...'

Shorts these days. Dreadful. If you want to wear long trousers, go the whole hog. If you want to wear shorts, wear bloody SHORTS!

 

[Mors]

Gutting how brilliant gerrard was, and how brilliant suarez is, and neither play for us any more. I'm genuinely gutted about suarez, and couldn't give a flying fuck about gerrard and sterling.

 

[gkmacca]

Impressive that we got Suarez in the first place.

I don't follow basketball. What team does that guy just to the left of the Celtics guy in the middle represent? 😱

The Detroit Don't Give a Fucks.

 

[Athens]

With shorts that short, he obviously doesn't give any.

Milwaukee Bucks.

Milwaukee Bucks.

Bucks? Sure, that's the same thing.

What basically passes for shorts these days are culottes. Now, this is an emblem of muddy thinking. Shorts are not culottes. Culottes are absurd French inventions that, typically of them, act as a foppish hat for the shins. Footballers only wear shorts at all to appear decorously presentable in mixed company. They don't actually need - nay, desire - the interference of cloth with leg. What they most certainly don't require is a baggy mass of material flapping against the thigh and hanging on or over the knee. This is simply wrong. Practically, sportingly and aesthetically, it is an abomination. It might be a cossie in the cupboard of Kevin Rowland, or wee Jimmy Krankie, or Elton John, or the preferred spring/summer leisurewear of John Bercow, but it is not - repeat NOT - appropriate leg wear for a professional footballer. It has to stop!

Was progress.

Don't regress. That's not clever. It's not right. It's a rupture in the continuum of history, and that's bad news.

At one stage when I was still working, Kevin Rowland was a colleague of mine. He was an educational psychologist and I was an administrator working for the local authority on the special ed.side of things. Kevin was good at his job and the two of us worked well on a couple of projects together, but even then I wouldn't have been entirely surprised if he'd swanned in thusly attired.

He got a bit, er, confused, didn't he, our Kev? To think he sang 'You'll Never Walk Alone' dressed like this - it certainly tested the truth of the lyrics...

 

[Judge Jules]

Egad. Hadn't seen that before. Knew he'd gone off the deep end a bit, but hadn't realised it was the deep end of the Marianas Trench.

 

[cloggypop]

Saw Dexy's a couple of years back in the cathedral as part of sound city. They turned out to be doing some sort of musical. God was overcharging for shit warm beer. We fucked off to see Pins in Shipping Forecast instead. Kev didn't even do Jockie Wilson Said.

Macca seriously wants to see some guys hang dong.

Pascoe knew all this and now he is gone.... Sad. .. Sad. ..

Exactly. And people say letter campaigns don't work.

Ha being a Dexys fan I saw them all over the country and met him a few times. It would be hard to find a more morose and miserable bloke, although at the time I mistook this for brilliant intensity. Hope he didn't bring you down JJ.

 

[Judge Jules]

Far from it actually. He was unconventional at times, yes, but in some ways that helped him deal really well with some of our most difficult cases and I don't remember him ever not being reasonably upbeat.
