The Clash…
“Kone’s scoring,
The king wears his crown,
And we’re gonna beat yer,
And you’re goin’ down…”
Seems apt… might need some work. |

Confirmation bias isn’t on the A level specification, not for AQA anyway, so is unlikely to be taught as a stand alone subject, notwithstanding it could be introduced as a concept when discussing Zimbardo’s prison study, Where Zimbardo’s interpretation of his findings of a few ‘prison guards’ over-estimated the role of the brutalising environmental conditions. Similarly, John Bowlby’s maternal deprivation hypothesis can be argued follows confirmation bias, as he used some spurious statistics to argue neglect and maternal deprivation in early years would lead to delinquent behaviour in adolescence, and in extreme circumstances, affectionless psychopathology. Such claims were based on studies of children he had in his institution and using retrospective data, which opens itself up to both confirmation bias and errors in the validity of the data. With this in mind, Bowlby should have been more cautious with his findings, which arguably set back post-war progress in equality in the world of work between males and females. |

Long time lurker Baz, but one of these days, eventually… when all is said and done. Some people might accept that what you’ve been saying isn’t that wide of the mark. Peace and love etc etc. ;-) |

The very best English song writer, guitarist (both electric and acoustic) solo and band leader ever. Contemporary of Hendrix, still recording and playing live now. The most under-rated genius on these shores… |

“Long time lurker”
A member of the ‘Loft For Words’ forum for considerable length of time but contributes to a thread a maximum of once every three years; usually to complain about misogyny or support a stadium-wide smoking ban. On the very unlikely event of a LTL’s post being linked to a football related matter, expect it to be both wrong and absolute cliched twaddle (ex. “I’d like to see Ainsworth get a whole season under his belt so he can bring in his own people). Likely to inexplicably use real name as moniker. Expect LTL’s post to be ‘down-arrowed’ to double figures ensuring no further contribution until 2027. |

Apparently they’ve tabled an appeal. Not too sure he’s got a leg to stand on. I hope his lawyer couched his defence appropriately when he approached the bench. It all started when the driver got in an argument and tried to deck Chair. The club were hoping to sit on this until the end of the season. Hopefully we can still build a cushion between us and the bottom 3 by the end of the season without him. |

People often confuse freedom of speech with freedom of thought. We all think we have total freedom of thought, but what we think is heavily influenced by our peers, parents, media, tradition and culture. In that sense are we really free? Freedom of speech is considered by many cultures as a human right. However, along with freedom to act, it comes with a responsibility to others. Words are powerful, speech can kill, and sometimes a group or society will ban it (Clive has banned some people from his site, Gerry Adams was banned from speaking on TV and Abu Hamza arrested and imprisoned for inciting violence through his speeches). Libel laws also constrain our freedom to say what we like, and many other things are censored. Advocates of freedom of speech often really mean they want the freedom to say what they want, but rarely cherish others’ freedoms to contend. However, I thought we played well against Blackburn, and when Armstrong sorts out his first touch, he’ll be unstoppable. |

Hello,
Lurked for a decade. I used to be much more active but flounced off after another bout of homophobia from the usual posters. Find some non-football related ‘opinions’ too much so keep quiet. Love Clive’s writing and he’s taken us through a lot, including some really baron runs and the pandemic. I’m proud to donate a little each month to the patron subscription. Still go to see the R’s at least a couple of times a season. Still love club despite everything and will continue to do so. Right, that’s enough, see you all in another 10 years. P.s. I don’t eat cheese, so don’t have a favourite as such, but if I did… Stilton for me! |
