I'm sorry, but no. Respect should be earned and living to be old isn't enough alone to earn respect.
No, respect should be the default position.
You read or hear "respect must be earned" quite often, but I have never encountered people in my day to day life that live by this motto

I don’t think it matters if they were expected bumper contracts or not… it’s just disappointing to read that they are not kept in the loop with their future. I’m no insider and I don’t know how it works, what the process and unwritten rules there are when it comes to players departing clubs but it ...

I recognise your username and I've noticed that you seem to respond to quite a lot of posts on this forum by alluding to, or outright accusing the poster of being drunk, to the extent I'm starting to wonder if this is a projection.

Almost everything Damo quoted is misrepresented in his comment made prior to him quoting other posters. To argue my point (I won't argue for anyone else), there's a subtle but important difference between a monarchy binding people to its self-important theatre to sustain its own legitimacy in peopl...

As daft as Spiral comes across on this thread, at least he is honest enough to admit his little tantrum about a football match being played on a different day is due to his dislike of the monarchy and the plebs.

I'd personally love to know what countries rich with fossil fuels think of global warming.

THANKS-so it looks a bit like Collins. He is going to be sold without VK taking a closer look at him
It appears that he doesn't have much choice. Cornet is subject to Premier league interest from quite a few teams, and at some point, one of them is going to meet his valuation

This is a perfect example of the money ball strategy that was discussed when pace took over.

It's something we have never really done before, apart from when we sold Jay and its s...

I think some people are over-valuing Collins. He’s got potential, but what has he done to suggest he’s worth more than £20-£25m - considering he was signed for £12m less than 20 appearances ago. And comparisons with other players just don’t really make sense. For example, maybe Ben White is just a ...

But he’s finished at this level….
Also, Usyk and Fury are the pinnacle at the heavyweight division.
Beyond those 2, he will be fighting people at the also ran level.
Hence he will be finished at this level

Serious questions and cause for concern, fans have a right to be worried right now. You may think it's tedious but Burnley's an important part of people's lives, maybe not yours.
You were worried about being able to find a good stream for championship games the other day
