Personally I think the beard is stupidly long for anyone outside Middle-Earth or Eastern religion, but it doesn't look weird. It looks natural. What I don't get is the hyper clean line cut with super straight hair look. It appears to be a pretty new thing because I've just spent a fruitless few minutes searching for picture examples. I get big beards, I get grooming male grooming (shit, I've owned various beard oils), I'm all for that. I've got a big beard myself (and until trimming a month or so ago I literally could have passed as homeless with how huge it was) and it's unlikely I'll go back to a more trimmed down 'style' soon. What I'm not going to end up with, ever, is a super clean outlined massive beard with straightened hair. Because it looks ridiculous. If I had to make an effort right now with my beard, I would trim any stray long hairs, tidy it a bit and that's it. It'd a completely natural looking big beard that had been tidied up a bit. Not like something made of artificial fibres glued my face. I'm having trouble picturing the beards you're describing; anything from Google Images to help?

I think it's a sign of using Twitter too much, along with using terms like dog-whistling and virtue-signalling (I still have no idea what they mean) in political arguments and calling everyone a charlatan in football ones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seat68 Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 I expect some flack for this. I won't be offended. Women's football. Are people watching this? Do enough people want to watch it to warrant a place on BBC1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are people watching this? Do enough people want to watch it to warrant a place on BBC1? I don’t watch it - I don’t mind seeing if the villa team has won. That’s more or less it. I have no idea what viewing figures or attendance figures are like. However, considering the history of the women’s game and the authorities doing what they could to prevent it from developing, I don’t mind them promoting it more than perhaps the current interest in it merits. Basically I feel like the women’s game is owed a favour or two (to put it mildly) so I don’t begrudge them receiving a bit of extra media coverage. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KenjiOgiwara Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 (edited) Coffee shops selling an americano and not letting you dilute your own espresso. They just make a batch of filter coffee and call it americano. Edited May 4, 2019 by KenjiOgiwara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do enough people want to watch it to warrant a place on BBC1? It's ok. I watched the World Cup and thought there were some enjoyable games. But then I saw bits of that recent international tournament the name of which escapes me, and thought it was piss poor but with over the top praise from the commentary. Totally agree with Shrops, they're due a favour. We have a local team that's getting women and girls in to sport and a couple of my nippers' friends are now playing at an age and a technical level that simply didn't exist for women a couple of years ago. So that's got tobe a good thing. People are fitter, sports facilities are being used, the club has doubled in size. On the downside, whilst I quite like non-league, there's a point at which the standard drops and I just can't watch it. A fair bit of women's football hovers around that line.
