No, no, that's another Palace thread

Oh. I thought it was about my job. I work with the youthenasia.

I seem to be saying it a lot recently, but this is one of the stupidest things I’ve ever read on this site.

Do you think emergency services have their own pubs or something? We’ve reached a point where “A man met one of he friends in a pub” is now a potential clue to some grand deception. F*ck me.

Both the guy you quoted and Swansman are that most modern of things - the foreign, internet football hipster that's never wrong. So both regard it as cheating when Brighton fans go to places like pubs and hear stuff from people in the know. How very dare they? They should be at home watching youTube videos of the Italian third division like normal people.

Which part of Asia do you work with the youth in?

My point is: they treated wellbeck, which just so happens to be their last act of the day at work, which just so happens to coincide with the end of the soccer game and then they happen to go to the same bar as all the soccer fans and the spout confidential medical information....come on man!

Also that is very different from anonymized information another person was talking about. I bet those stories don't include the patients names.

Unfortunately it’s a disease that infests every aspect of the internet now. It’s why people are experts in Middle Eastern conflict one week (because they skimmed the Wikipedia article on Palestine) and body language experts (because they watched a true crime documentary on Netflix) the next.

Why be relatively knowledgeable about topics you actually know about when you can be an expert on every subject ever? All it requires is paddling pool depth knowledge on a subject and the arrogance to think you can’t be wrong.

That’s why outside of football I stick to my areas of expertise on here. If it’s not about a UK Hip-Hop artist only 4 people care about, cocaine dealers between Worthing and Brighton or local pubs then I keep my nose out because I don’t have a clue. And that’s okay.

He was sent to the Royal Sussex County, but unfortunately they operated on him with a penknife.

This feels like a very simple question but also that I'm about to be whooshed...

Japan...

We all know that Danny is head and shoulders above the rest of the team.

And he's been incognito in hospital, using the name Dan Druff.

When did soccer/football become such a shibboleth in this country? I'm sure when I was a small child in the 90s it wasn't seen as that weird to call it soccer, and I can't imagine things like Soccer Saturday would be called that if it had been considered such a big deal, notwithstanding the obvious appeal of the alliteration.

I bought Soccer Star magazine weekly in about 1963

The word soccer has been regularly and consistently used in the UK for literally decades. Some people just find it a handy stick to beat the US with (because EVRYTHING about the US is VERY BAD, obviously).
