can someone explain to me what bike nonce is supposed to mean, or is it literally just "you ride a bike and therefore are a nonce"

I think it's more implying he likes to nonce bikes.

I think the problem was less that he was called "bike nonce" and more the image with Jimmy Savile and Rolf Harris

Yeah, the images mean there's no doubt what he meant by the word.

https://www.rte.ie/sport/soccer/2024/0509/1448236-dundalk-goalkeeper-shelvey-given-10-match-suspension/ English keeper given red card for calling an official an "Irish oval office" after a League of Ireland match. 10 match ban which according to some I've read is the standard for "racial/discriminatory" abuse (first instance) so it's following and keeping up the standard. Fella accepts he shouldn't have said it, apologised, and understands and accepts it's discriminatory. He won't be appealing the ban. Footballer going feral and then going, "Yer, I probably shouldn't have done that." Good stuff all around.

Mickolution posted:He's been dogshit all season, anyway. LOI.tv is too expensive to subscribe to. And it's all upfront if you want the entire season, replays (which were limited last time I looked,) replays of matches that are on at the same time so you can't watch them live, etc. rather than a month by month sub. gently caress that. At that point I'm rarely bothered to even watch the games on RTÉ. Got some match passes to watch Cork City games a few time last season, and to be fair their customer service (when you found it) was pretty good if anything went wrong with the stream. No argument from them and straight up, "We can offer you a refund or give you a match pass to another game. Just email us the day before the match you want the pass to telling us which one." Always chose the free pass as I'd prefer the football to the cash I've already spent.

Yeah, can't justify the price of it at all. I have a season ticket for Dundalk and it was only €50 more and all of that goes to the club.

The night-time matches make it a pain in the rear end for me. Even at the height of summer it'd be too dark for me to get a bus home as by the time I get to my destination the walk along the roads is too dark and dangerous even if you're lit up like a Christmas tree. It's bad enough during they day that I've been less inclined to take the bus lately. So that means when you combine the cost of tickets+taxi+few pints it's just too much given what I have coming in. A Saturday or Sunday afternoon game when I could head into town after and do a bit of shopping and maybe get a spin home would be much better. There's a reason most English games are on at 3pm on a Saturday.

A reminder at this point that while a lawyer will take on any case if they're going to get paid, actual qualified lawyer Eni Alunko probably wouldn't start one she didn't expect to win. Then again she's also a Tory so it'll be funny either way.

Same in Spain, 21:00 kickoff today and 22:00 for a load of the midweek games. I guess the heat is a reason.

Thanks Ants posted:Was a culture shock for me the first couple of times, dead on my feet and then settling into a restaurant at 11pm I don't mind the eating times. I'm happy to eat late as long as I know that's what I'm doing. I'll just take the morning lazily then nibble and have a couple of light meals (baguette, bitta ham, light cheese,) as well as frequent coffees, during the day, instead of a giant meal in the evening. I think the UK and Irish have hosed up our drinking patterns. We should be day drinking during the winter as well as the summer. We have more light during the day, plus a few hours in darkness for when you're pished. Going until the early hours ain't right unless you're in your twenties, at most. Pensioners have it correct, early afternoon, into the pub, midweek, by 3pm, few pints until 8pm, then an early sleep and you have the next morning and early afternoon to do all your business and eat. If the pub is good you can go until 10pm, at which point you're committed til closing but still have a "Pull up! Pull up!" safety call. Closing is no later than midnight. No loving late-bars outside special occasions or you've met the most interesting person in ten years. Definitely not for a shag unless you're recently divorced. Hopeful, driven by the horn, 2am drinks is the preserve of idiocy you've grown out of. Only going day drinking on summer, bank holiday, sunny weekends allows you no rhythm. It's for amateurs, or people on cocaine or who are a outright dangerous, but I repeat myself. I think the North of France has it right, with their culture, for our climate. Long days (actual daytime) on the weekend, starting at 11am. Constantly drinking, constantly eating, big family event in a house/apartment (whether family of friends, or literal family.) By 8pm everyone is glowing and ready to explode and the kids are knackered and ready to sleep. Although the Northern French guys I knew said they appreciated our weekend sports/club/team culture of do something from the morning until about 4 pm, clean up, big group in the pub with no pressure and drink stout until 11pm. My Simplified Theory of Northern European Drinking — Excluding Scandinavia. (Scandinavia being an almost completely different, but parallel, discipline.)

Japan has settled into having mid-afternoon kickoffs early in the season (March-May) and late on (October-November), shifting to a lot of 6 pm twilight kickoffs for the summer months. There’s no time change, so the sun is up at like 4:30 in Tokyo in June and July, and sets by 7, so that keeps things nicely out of the heat. There’s a plan to switch to the European calendar in a couple years, which probably will mean those two will flip a little, but it avoids the worst of summer.
