TheCutch 4,340 Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Not read the whole thread, so apologies if it's already been mentioned. The linesman at the Stevenson/Alfie incident must have thought the wee man was going to pull a knife from his shorts the way he charged onto the field to block him off. Only when Morelos has been fouled do linesmen in particular (aswell as refs) charge in like that.ย Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing so dirty or so obvious as money changing hands or all the refs sitting in a darkened room discussing how to fuck us. However one club will gain and did gainย financial advantage in their attempts to influenceย What is simplyย happening is the hierarchy engendering a culture of bias against us.ย Carried out very subtley through chinese whispersย and chinese walls. Likewise in any business that is autocratic in nature, you either go with the narrative of the leadership or you are out the door. ย Being good at your job is not a prime mover to thriveย in these organisations, but to go with the narrative and not rocking the boat is everything. The mold was set in 2012 when Liewell took full control in his influence over the sfa and his grip has tightenedย ever since. It would be rather career threatening in such an environment to show any blue sided inclinations in this case.ย The dominant culture may become so all pervading, that an individual not borne of theย ย narrative ย (the *elticย minded!) go against their own principles and their values change, in being easier to become one of the pack and thrive or forever remain be the an outsider and die in career terms,ย hence we witness the consequences of such a culture in the double standards on the field of play. Joy and easy life for the *eltic minded, as they can go freely about their business of wounding usย and be rewarded it for it both professionally and personally. A job made in heaven and get paid for the privilege. For the, others it is simply a means of survival to go with the flow and reap hollow rewards. To survive in these environments, many will simply sacrifice their long held principles to just to fit in andย put bread on the table. It is simplyย an exploitation of human nature. So no money changing hands or large meetings in darkened rooms hatching grand plots to do us down. This is the domainย for the chosen few at the top of the pile and to have their agendaย quietly and subtely permeate through eachย ย layer of the organisation like a cancer. Liewell has indeed done his job well, adopting strategiesย straight from the Jesuit handbook, to infiltrate, influence and mortally wound your enemy to their death. ย ย ย ย ย ย ย Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Avenger 22,567 Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Excerts from the Jesuit oath. I don't know why I am getting the mpression we are not liked...... "Superior: My son, heretofore you have been taught to act the dissembler: among Roman Catholics to be a Roman Catholic, and to be a spy even among your own brethren; to believe no man, to trust no man. Among the Reformers, to be a reformer; among the Huguenots, to be a Huguenot; among the Calvinists, to be a Calvinist; among other Protestants, generally to be a Protestant, and obtaining their confidence, to seek even to preach from their pulpits, and to denounce with all the vehemence in your nature our Holy Religion and the Pope; and even to descend so low as to become a Jew among Jews, that you might be enabled to gather together all information for the benefit of your Order as a faithful soldier of the Pope." "I do further promise and declare that I will, when opportunity presents, make and wage relentless war, secretly and openly, against all heretics, Protestants and Masons, as I am directed to do, to extirpate them from the face of the whole earth; and that I will spare neither age, sex nor condition, and that will hang, burn, waste, boil, flay, strangle, and bury alive these infamous heretics; rip up the stomachs and wombs of their women, and crush their infants' heads against the walls in order to annihilate their execrable race. That when the same cannot be done openly I will secretly use the poisonous cup, the strangulation cord, the steel of the poniard, or the leaden bullet, regardless of the honour, rank, dignity or authority of the persons, whatever may be their condition in life, either public or private, as I at any time may be directed so to do by any agents of the Pope or Superior of the Brotherhood of the Holy Father of the Society of Jesus. In confirmation of which I hereby dedicate my life, soul, and all corporal powers, and with the dagger which I now receive I will subscribe my name written in my blood in testimony thereof; and should I prove false, or weaken in my determination, may my brethren and fellow soldiers of the militia of the Pope cut off my hands and feet and my throat from ear to ear, my belly be opened and sulphur burned therein with all the punishment that can be inflicted upon me on earth, and my soul shall be tortured by demons in eternal hell forever." ย In their extremist views,ย the Society of Jesus were always a source of challenge to the authority of the papacy, so much so that the first Jesuit ever to take the top job was the current Pope Francis, so I await our apocolypse with fear in trepidation. I would also lay charge that Madden et al are Jesuits trying to masquerade as something else, but that inbred behaviour betrays them. ย Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
