    Bump.

    Evergrande has just defaulted.

    What does this mean now for the world? Are we all fucked?

    Depends on who you are and what you own. It'll be the usual bail out, print print print, ram it right up the middle class and move on.... but... this one if different, it's got rabid covid fomo attached. The combo of market crash and fomo fizzle will be huge. 

    I'm thinking cooling in late 2022 and first half of 2023, then 2023 and 2024 the market crashes at least 30%. I would hate to have bought in the last 6 months and have a 500/600k mortgage. 

    Only place I would buy would be regional and under 400k. Low risk and decent rental yield.

    This is a strange take. Doesn’t the fact that him being the first or second pro footballer in the entire world to come out as a gay during his career show that we haven’t quite come far enough or as far as you think? Especially not in soccer. Soccer and sport generally are decades behind with accepting gay people. Only a few months ago was there a homophobic chant at a PL match. 

    You’re right in saying that it shouldn’t be a big deal, and maybe in another decade or two it won’t, but don’t be so naive as to think this isn’t a significant moment or not news-worthy. Some of the best players in the world, and the Twitter accounts of most of the biggest clubs in the world, have retweeted this story. It’s huge news. And that’s because this sport is lagging behind.

    If you think about it, its a uniquely male problem. The females don't seem to have the same shame factor. In fact recently some photos were leaked of pro players lezin it out on social media and no one battered an eye. The top 5 or 4 players in the world are openly lesbian and its celebrated. 

    We as men simply don't like talking about personal issues but when he actually do we're surprised by the support we get from other men. That's why I think this isn't so much a "gay" thing, rather a "shame" thing. It's all perception and I've personally learnt that being vulnerable in front of other men is healthy and its helped me a shit load with my own issues.

    I feel like its reflection on his age more than anything. At that age you're scared of rejection and crave acceptance so coming out must seem like a big deal. In reality, no one actually gives two fucks about who you get a boner for. A gay buddy of mine said it was the same for him. At 20 he was scared shitless, at 35 he couldn't give the slightest of fucks what people thought on him and he laughs at how dramatic he used to be.

    Foley got his words mixed up in the presser. 

    It's 95%+ UN-Vaccinated

    https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-09-29/unvaccinated-make-up-98-per-cent-of-total-icu-covid-cases/13563118

    How he gets THOSE words mixed up, ill never know. That's Sleepy Joe level of retardation. 

    I guess I stand corrected and that makes a little more sense.

     

     

    Foley still grants a wormy IMO... 3 in fact

    The biggest story around the globe right now should be the looming collapse of Evergrande.

    This is going to cause massive ructions to the Chinese economy with regional political fallout.

    Strap In.

    Yep! Seems we've been distracted enough by Covid and LBGT toddler rights. 

    The 2008 crash gonna like nothing compared to this shit. This country is in massive massive trouble very soon.

    Hasn't that ship already sailed? Both Tilio and Colakovski have already been pushed to the bench with the acquisition of Leckie to combo with Maclaren and Nabbout. 

    If I was sitting on the bench I wouldn't worry too much about being a back up for Nabbout. I'd start more games than him by the end of the season.

  14. Offside or not Offside.

    i have been following football since i was seven or eight years old ( i am now 81) but for the life of me i cannot figure out what is happening to the offside rule. it is driving me insane when watching some of the offside decisions , my understanding of this rule is that if a player is in an offside position when the ball is passed either to him or forward to a position where he would be offside the assistant ref must raise his/her flag provided the said player attempts to play the ball. So why in heavens name are we seeing linesmen keep the flag down. we are informed by the controlling bodies that the flag is not raised "to see what happens" , what a load of Bulls**t , if the player is offside he is offside no questions need to be asked . What is happening is spoiling the game for everyone, so can someone clear up this load of twaddle please????

     

    I can't answer your question sir but I'm glad to see we have an 81 year old kicking about on this forum. 👏
