    [News] The Assault on Jenni Hermoso

    It is very common. It often doesn’t get reported because of the power imbalance and because of the excuses offered by posters on this thread.

    [News] The Assault on Jenni Hermoso

    And lots of mainly quiet old(er) men who are appalled by the exploitative attitudes of the shouty old men.

    [News] The Assault on Jenni Hermoso

    I give up on this particular conversation because you are now minimizing my experience and claiming my view is determined by the media. I suggest you know very little about this subject.

    [News] The Assault on Jenni Hermoso

    I’m just going to focus on this particular sentence of your post. You couldn’t be more wrong. Feelings from unwanted sexual touching can take years to deal with. People can be intimidated by a power imbalance and afraid to make a fuss, in part because they fear they will not be believed. Ironic...

    [News] The Assault on Jenni Hermoso

    I’m not a ‘bandwagon jumping signaller,’ whatever that is. I didn’t notice it from social media. I commented on it when I saw it. I have seen this type of thing before when power in the workplace is used in this way. The ‘actual evidence’ is that the player has said the Head of the Spanish FA...

    [News] The Assault on Jenni Hermoso

    Yeah, I thought that was an appalling comment.

    [News] The Assault on Jenni Hermoso

    Yep, I was reading earlier that the Spanish football authorities have today activated their sexual violence protocol. This is one day after threatening to launch legal proceedings against the victim. This has exposed a culture in Spanish football. Let’s not kid ourselves we don’t have similar...

    [Albion] Away fans in home ends

    Because you go with a mate who is a home fan ? I stood on the Kop at Bramall Lane when we played there late 80s. Shouting and screaming my support for the Albion seemed a poor idea…..although we did lose 3-0 anyway.

    [Albion] Away fans in home ends

    It is perfectly possible for an away fan to be in the home end and keep their mouths shut. I’ve done it before. If people are too immature to manage that then they should be in the away end.

    [Albion] Corners, throw ins and free kicks..

    It’s easiest to look away when we have a corner. Probably better if we just give the oppo a goal kick and not bother. I’m not sure that was the main problem yesterday though. There was very little creativity around the West Ham box. Such a contrast to Wolves and probably says something about the...

    [Albion] Keeper rotation

    I thought the change of keeper changed our style. We had a lot of possession but I didn’t see the keeper at the pivot of starting attacks in the same way as Steele plays. Admittedly I was watching in a pub at a distance from the screen so could be wrong.

    [Albion] Keeper rotation

    Agreed. And rotating Shilton and Clemence didn’t exactly lead to much England success. I think it’s a terrible idea.

    [Albion] Away fans in home ends

    Two entirely different and unrelated issues. I would expect the club to be banning any away fan ejected from home stands and also passing on details to WHU in much the same way as BHA fans face consequences for passing on tickets.

    [Albion] Away fans in home ends

    I don’t understand what the stewards were doing when I hear stories like this.

    [Albion] Keeper rotation

    It’s not that new. Shilton/Clemence.

    [Albion] Keeper rotation

    Emphatically not. Doesn’t matter whether RDZ believes in them equally. It’s the defenders that need the continuity.

    [Albion] No criticism of RDZ ?

    Yeah, I was surprised to see Milner playing again when we had Veltman as an option. I thought he was signed as a squad player and mentor. The change in goalkeeper also can’t be underestimated. We improved dramatically when Sanchez took over from Ryan and similarly with Steele who has done...

    [Albion] No criticism of RDZ ?

    RDZ is a grown up. He works very closely with other senior management at the club. So, no.

    [Albion] Getting grumpy with the people who sit around you.

    Yep, they try. Then drone on about their human rights when I don’t let them go to the toilet.
