I'd have had him here in a second though.
They are trying to get a few more people to sign up before releasing it.
Meh! It is what it is. I have my views. I was not offended because nothing does. It is double standards because some get offended by a flippant dementia comment but will then go and call Hojbjerg a cunt. It’s not a big deal as was the original comment.
No one's told you that you should be.
The two are not the same thing.
I wasn't singling you out I was just replying to your post. The "you" was the collective you. I apologise if you think I was.
But again, there's a whole world of difference between calling someone a cunt and saying someone has dementia. Or a retardation. Or a special need and so on. You are calling their cognitive function into question. I can assure you that no sane individual on this forum will take offence to you calling a player a name if you don't like them.
The parallel would be saying "fucking Hoijberg must have dementia with all that backwards passing and pointing has he forgot how to play football".
Nobody says that. They just don't like him and the style of play and say he's shit or a cunt. It's absolutely not even the same thing. Sure it's not particularly mature and still unkind but it's not remotely the same thing.
It's because people can associate personally with specific terms. It's exactly the same with labelling something a "cancer", etc.
If you have a member of your family who has dementia the last thing you would do is ridicule it
Really needs it’s own thread though as we’re supposed to be talking about yesterday’s game!
We lost lol it's done
I'm done with this anyway, nothing more to be gained derailing this thread.
Levy I'm begging you buy someone anyone!! Or this place will look like Arkham asylum.
No slight was intended on the inmates of Gothams Arkham asylum many of whom( like Killer Croc) had troubled childhoods, and require understanding for their offending and such like.

If he can projectile vomit on anyone running on the back post I'd be inclined to tell levy to sign him back!
We need all the help we can get defending set pieces.
very inconsistent on there. sometimes the games are up quick sometimes you have to wait far too long.

How dare you mention those two in the same sentence? Boyle is a comedian and he's funny.
Carr's an unfunny, obnoxious cunt.
My mum has dementia now forgets names, birthdays, how to find TV channels, what day it is but seems to always know how Spurs got on!
Hahahaha my mum is the same because I still phone her and tell her! She does remember it’s not good to watch us v Chelsea when I’m in.
I find that it’s the short term memory that goes first
You can say something and about 15 mins later you get asked the same question whereas they can still remember events from their childhood
A good friend of mine died from the disease last year and it wasn’t easy seeing him go down and down but occasionally the mist used to clear and you saw his old mischievous self!
His wife still not over it but we help when we can
How Spurs Got On isn't to do with memory - sadly, it's one of life's constants.
It already has it's own thread - and you've posted in it.
