Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

Having lost at home, Sean Clare's other team won away. Very #LOFC.

OCTOBER 10th: We're at The Station Hotel, Ashton-under-Lyne, run by the truly remarkable Pauline Town. She spends about half of her time feeding and otherwise supporting people in need. We know a song about that. Steve W has become known for his colourful setlists, so here's a sneak preview.

Thinking back to the, er, glory days of the Football League Trophy, before EPL U21 teams came in and destroyed it. I went to all of #LOFC 's home games in the competition in 94-95. Incredibly for such a terrible team - 6 league wins - we did really well, reaching the 2 legged Southern Area Final.

The article is a little misleading... 100% of the hammer price of many of the pieces went to the charities, totalling about £750k. Still good work, though.

If I was forced to bet whether Wellens would be a Premier League manager in five years' time or be scratching around at various jobs in the lower leagues, I'd go for the latter. #LOFC

#LOFC seem to be a bit short of goalkeepers. We're down to, er, one. I expect Clare to fill in there if needed - he's played pretty much everywhere else.

It was way over £3.5 million by the end, with 100% of the hammer price going to two charities, apparently. The contrast between Marr, one of the good guys, and his odious ex-collaborator Morrissey, a racist dickhead, is staggering.

This proves I was wrong when I said only away teams postpone fixtures for this reason. In my defence, that was based on something #LOFC director Marshall Taylor once wrote on toXic.

He had his own chant at #LOFC. It was in the style of some kind of pre-WWII effort: "Heald! Heald! He's our shield! He saves the ball on the football field!" I'm not making this up, I promise.

Don't remember Springett doing anything wrong. He didn't play. No-one's even watching tonight. Wouldn't mind Arsenal arranging a friendly between some of their young players and #LOFC. But I object strongly to the hijacking of this trophy to be used as practice for EPL clubs' kids. #BTeamBoycott

His greatest contribution to #LOFC history was to trip up a pitch invader at Brighton in 97, saying he could see the chap was intending to "banjo" the ref. I'd never heard that usage previously.

More semi-incongruous diatribe, even less structured and coherent than the previous one. Big Money, stadium name changes, kickoff times, advertising, Champions League, video refereeing. It’s all under attack in this one. Cry ‘Havoc!’ and let slip the cogs of VAR.

Back in the early days of the 'Ear, it was welcomed with suspicion by #LOFC. It couldn't be sold in the ground. When Barry Hearn arrived, he knew that all publicity was good publicity and that it promoted discussion of and interest in the club. I doubt he actually liked it, but he tolerated it.
061
Spice Albert @spicealbert.bsky.social · 13/09/2026
Okay, Wellens was more reflective afterwards. He thinks #LOFC were good. We started brightly, had a couple of good chances early on, got the ball forward a fair bit. But Baxter had to make a number of smart stops to keep us in it. And like last season, we still can't mark for headers in the box.

Spice Albert @spicealbert.bsky.social · 12/09/2026
Okay, I'll come clean. I think the Bromley result was a disaster, because it made #LOFC look three time as good as we are. I'd like Wellen to piss off.

I'm getting my prediction in early because of the early KO. #LOFC 0 #Chairboys 3 Wellens post match: "We had a tough game in midweek. And we've had to follow that up with a match against a team with no manager, I mean come on... And remember their initials are WW - that's 'win, win', isn't it?"

Don't really get the fuss about Keeley, tbh. Last season, Luton were in the top 6 for not allowing shots on target. But when they did allow one, there was a better than average chance of it going in because of Keeley. Even #LOFC 's keepers did better than him overall.

I was following The Independent on here because it's important for mainstream news media and organisations to see there's an alternative to the toXic wasteland. But they're posting almost only US news, plus features on farting, sport or whatever and some slebgoss. So I stopped.
