In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
Another Darwin award nominee...

Mental how often this happens.
This is the first I saw of any of them. Not sure how many headlines they made in the US, but it's as though the rest of the world is so used to it happening over there that it's not reported that widely.
Motive plays a part too I suppose. If it's not terrorism or some sort of lunatic shooting up a place of work or school then it doesn't get reported much. Fights, arguments, disputes or gang relatied stuff that end up with shootings don't seem to be particularly noteworthy.
In the 155 days of 2024 to date in the US there has been:
7,047 gun deaths
13,180 injuries
195 mass shootings
94 children (11 and under) killed
492 ‘teens’ (12-17 not sure why) killed
Just another day in America then. It's sad.
Low death counts too, I think 3 died in total from those shootings. I know gun crime levels are insane over there, but I just had a moment there, thinking how if any one of these happened in the UK it would be shocking to the point it would be the top headline for a week.
Oh no doubt, and as you said in your earlier post, the ones you cited barely made the news.

What the actual feck
Is there a possibilty to consider that assault (racist motivated) and that he goes to jail?
That poor man. It's disgusting this is still happening in this day and age. He must have felt like shit, humiliated, hurt and embarrassed too.
As for the girl, she must have been humiliated too. It's really a shock she's managed to graduate at all with that as a father.
Honestly, that's really fecking wound me up. Absolutely disgusting.
Baraboo, the town that also brought you the blockbuster hit: Football team takes picture doing Nazi salute. Rural WI is something else.
fecking hell, I thought South Carolina was bad! America is so fecked!Baraboo, the town that also brought you the blockbuster hit: Football team takes picture doing Nazi salute. Rural WI is something else.
I find that racism is alive and well in Europe, at a time when it has been largely blunted in the statesBaraboo, the town that also brought you the blockbuster hit: Football team takes picture doing Nazi salute. Rural WI is something else.
Oh racism is well and alive in europe for sure. But I think in europe is sneakier than in US that it seems to me, that very fringely is out at the open like that dad pushing away the black superintendent. In europe probably the dad would forbid the daughter to go to the ceremony or something else.
Obviously is just my personal observation that might be incorrect. The truth is that in broad terms, Europe and US are pretty much the same in racism IMO
Oh feck. The sad part is that i remember that. Problems of posting while being in a meeting

Half those names sound like stripper or porn stars.
No, but once my county hears about this, it’ll for sure be happening
Poor DJ, didn't have the song synced with the events in the arena. Had it close though...

I think this is in the wrong thread. Or maybe we need a 'Karma' thread.
I love a good bull event. Go bulls!
I'm sorry, but if a 2 ton bull is coming your way, and you just stand their drinking, you absolutely deserve to get tossed 8 foot in the air and kicked in the head.
I doubt they were drinking. Staying still is more likely that the bull don't detect you and gives you better odds than if you are slow poke
feck around and find out. Enjoying animal suffering for entertaining....Should happen more often
If you want a further example of prosecutors and judges being sleazy - Young Thug RICO case has just had a stunning example
A witness, while sworn in, was dragged into an ex parte meeting with the judge and the prosecutors with no notice to defendants and they only found out because of a leak, and the judge held a defence lawyer in contempt because he wouldn't give up the source.

Had it on in the background yesterday, defense attorney was quite irritated.
Was he put in a holding cell or nah?
DO you have a video/audio of this? I would like to hear or read the extract of the exchange between the judge and the defence lawyer
Not til the weekend, but could be overturned by then.
He's a badass though, asked to be in the same prison as his client so he can work on the case
