  • A ref is given leeway, they choose whether to exercise or not and he didn’t provide any leeway or special favour. He made a call and refs decision stands.

    It still amazes me that you don’t see how dangerous Balogun’s challenge was. Did you not see the dude’s ankle? Could have got broken. Quansah didn’t even touch the guy with studs and won the ball. It was still a red. Both without intent, both deemed dangerous. One almost snapped a players ankle.

    Yes, that last bit was catty, but the weird tribal defending of it it with weird justifications seemed to fit in with how Trumpy was arguing. Not necessarily within the rules of the game or historical precedents.














  • The thing that bugs me is how selective the study is. The amount of dads that were broken, took their life or were not far from it, and to pick one small study focussing on how mums were negatively affected by it is galling. It’s like studies on the impact of police discrimination faced by white men. Contextually an insane and insulting use of academic funding.

    It’ll be used to further rebalance the courts further away from shared parenting and the child’s right to access both parents which is a UN right and Scandinavia does far better. The experience for fathers is traumatic.

    I don’t envy you. Keep going, and even when things look bleak, keep going. Things can turn out positive, even against the odds and even with the most biased CAFCASS staff. Not sure it’s relevant to you, but I’ve heard Both Parents Matter (formerly Family’s Need Fathers) is an excellent charity for support and advice.

    I will say, not everyone can do academic studies. Some don’t have the qualifications, or lifestyle situation or credibility to do anything that would be any more than an online blog and with far less impact. It is more than fair for someone to comment on the studies shared. Isn’t that what this community is about?
