Apparently, the FA Cup needs a Champions League type anthem to keep it fresh and modern.

NO IT DOESN'T. I wish people would stop f*cking around with things in an attempt to improve them and actually open them to enshittification.
How can we make this preliminary round game between Maldon & Tiptree FC and Flackwell Heath FC fresh and modern? Add some 'sonic branding' (yes, that's what it's called).

All fruity reds, not overly tannin, each with something a bit different. 🙂 |

I seem to remember Jimmy drinking from a keeper's bottle before at the Loft end and emptying it on the ground – was it a really hot day at the start of this season or last? |

Someone had to start it.
I just reread Clive's match report for the home game and asked myself why I'm going to this again tonight.
Bare bones, DS players filling the bench, Handsome Ronnie back? He's bound to score in the 1-0 win. |

I appreciate the principle your dad shared - staying curious and learning from unexpected sources is valuable. But there's an important distinction between disagreeing with someone and being subjected to deliberate disruption.
Your dad's advice assumes good faith - that people are genuinely sharing views, even poorly expressed ones. Trolling isn't that. It's designed to waste time, derail conversation, and drive people away. That's not disagreement to learn from; it's noise that drowns out actual discussion.
We have a right to speak, but we also have a responsibility not to abuse shared spaces. And crucially, having the right to speak doesn't create an obligation in others to listen. The ignore button isn't closed-mindedness - it's a boundary that says 'I'll engage with disagreement, but I won't reward behaviour designed to destroy conversation.'
If someone's contribution is genuinely adding a perspective worth considering, people won't ignore them. If multiple people are using the ignore button, that's usually a sign the person has forfeited good faith. Your dad's wisdom still holds - but it works best when everyone's actually trying to communicate, not just perform disruption. |

Parents divoreced and my Dad had us every other weekend. Took us to Arsenal, QPR, Charlton. When we came to LR we saw a 4-2 win against Wolves and went back to my Nan's nearby - East Action - for crumpets after the game. I badgered him to bring us again - Ipswich 3-1 win, a couple of weeks later Man City 1-0 win, Asa Hartford sent off.
That was 1975/76 - 50 up this season. |

I rarely drink now - dry January ran til March last year, restarted until August, restarted again until Christmas.
A good red wine is always the preferred choice if I do have a drink usually Fleurie, an Argentine Malbec, Dolcetto or Pinot Noir. |
