no beef! this is a beef-free, semi-vegetarian zone! XD
like, I understand where you are coming from. I just don't think a subtitled gif that came from a biased source (insert that gif of Harry Potter screaming BUTTSEX or whatever) is sufficient evidence to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt, and that is all the evidence that was ever presented, unless Marcelo gave more in the closed hearing. I COMPLETELY RESPECT HIS RIGHT TO PRIVACY and I understand why he wouldn't want to talk to the press, but in the absence of his testimony, all I have is a gif. and I'm not willing to hang a dude on the basis of a gif. he broke my heart and I'm going to doubt him forever, but I'm not going to say that I know he did it when I don't know it, I just think it. but I'm also obviously inclined to give the benefit of a doubt and you're not and they sure as hell didn't prove he DIDN'T say it when they acquitted him. so. that's where I'm coming from. I understand where you're coming from. I wanted to reply because you absolutely deserve that courtesy, but I really don't want to have this debate again when it's already been hashed out by a zillion other people who are less emotional about it than I am. can we leave it at that?
anyway. to return to the point of the post: I'm not trying to prescribe anyone's feelings about Liverpool, which I think is how I came off? I feel a certain way. I don't expect anyone else to feel that way, especially not when my circumstances are different to theirs. I just wanted to talk through how I felt about the Carling Cup and "hating" clubs with myself. in retrospect, shouldn't have posted it. not least because it appears to be detracting from why I really made the post, which is HEY WE HAVE LADIES AND THEY'RE AWESOME AND PEOPLE SHOULD READ ALL THE TRANSLATIONS I DID ABOUT THEM.
