  1. Not a fair comparison. The confederate flag, like the swastika, is freighted with specific connotations. There is just no getting around the fact that it came to represent a predominantly southern, reactionary, "good ol' boy" attitude which supported segregation and white supremacy - regardless of the additional anti-Yankee sentiment (a clear residue of post-Civil War resentment). That dominant aura of discrimination and racist hatred explains, as I see it, why Sarnia Saint removed the flag as his avatar so quickly. A step too far - even for him.
  2. There could be Heroes and Villains.
  3. You don't need fifteen periods (full stops) at the end of every sentence. One will do. :rolleyes:
  4. Parenthetical means the same as "in parentheses" - i.e., in curved brackets. Just another way of introducing another thought, an extra idea, an interesting aside. Here's an example: He went down to the pub (after an early evening meal). The phrase in the curved brackets is parenthetical.
  5. Ahh, yes, I recognise that: it's "Happy-Clappy Talk".
  6. Not a Haiku - which has three lines: 5 syllables, 7 syllables, and 5 syllables. Toby now is gone, Spurred on by money and fame; A Saint no longer.
  7. Two good goals from Rodriguez. That's encouraging.
  8. Thanks for the link. Fun to watch a game live from Austria!
  9. Good header from a cross into the box from the right.
  10. Beautiful goal from Rodriguez!
  11. Nine minutes left.
  12. 3-5. Soares
  13. Good save at the near-post from Kelvin after Leipzig have a breakaway down the right. Forces a corner.
  14. Cheap goal to give up. Horrible defending.
  15. Leipzig score from a header.
  16. Excellent goal! 2-1 Saints.
  17. Second-half now.
  18. Half-time.
  19. Excellent stream. Thanks for the link!
  20. Key phrases: "Mirror Sports understands ..."; "Spurs' position is understood to be ...". "Understood" is a weasel word.
  21. It's a buy-out clause - not a buy-back clause.
