Book excerpt: It doesn't really matter who you support. Football is a cruel, cruel game. All of us fans have had moments of shock, disappointment, and feeling like a right knobhead. We want our teams to play like winners who’ll fight for the badge to their last breath. More often, there's so many clowns on the pitch we think the circus is in town. We've endured abject surrenders in the pissing down rain, watched multi-millionaire managers lose the plot, and signed players who couldn't pass a parcel, all to the sound of Michael Owen's 'expert' analysis. Season after bloody season. It stings so much your team might as well be sponsored by Dettol. Why do we do it to ourselves? There’s a lot to love I guess. Nothing will ever emulate the high that a major win or seeing your team lift a trophy brings. Take Manchester United winning the treble: footballing perfection. And nothing else will ever come close. Life doesn’t get any better than that. As I talk you through everything from transfers to trophies to touchline tantrums, join me as I give my definitive take on football. There's a lot to get through, so take my hand like an over-eager mascot and walk with me out of the tunnel into the glaring floodlights of what it means to be a fan... ...and how to survive it.

Download or read book British Psychology In Crisis written by David Pilgrim and published by Phoenix Publishing House. This book was released on 2023-07-06 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Riven by poor governance and outright corruption, the British Psychological Society (BPS) may now be in terminal decline. Individual members have left it in despair and some groups (for example clinical, educational and organisational psychologists) have already organised themselves outside of the Society, in protest against its mismanagement and distorted priorities. Onlookers are bemused by a simple fact: a psychological organisation has demonstrated total incompetence at understanding itself. Accordingly, today, the BPS is neither a learned nor a learning organisation. This book describes this organisational crisis. It offers a critical account of the Society's recent history, which has mostly been hidden from public view, due to a lack of suitable democratic structures to ensure proper public scrutiny. Though it has charitable status, its governance has lacked independent trustees. Instead, priorities in the organisation have been compromised repeatedly by conflicts of interest, with an oligarchy of recycled names losing sight of the Society's shortcomings. In more recent times, these problems have been amplified by a managerial culture with little respect for academic integrity. These weak governance arrangements have led to policy capture by some interest groups which have led to public safety being threatened by the production of poor psychological advice to those on the outside. Those ordinary members opposing this skewed and risky advice have been suppressed by those at the top of the organisation. This important book aims to provide a platform for ordinary members whose criticisms have thus far been suppressed. By promoting the voices of these objectors and exposing the cracks within the organisation, it attempts to bring truth to power.

Book excerpt: A new recruit to the post office, finds himself working on Derby Station. What he finds there amazes him. He joins an array of weird and wonderful characters. Boozer and Gambler George responds to any criticism by saying - your not effing up my social life, claims that it is not his social life, it is his job fall on deaf ears. The Ghost Squad are often mentioned but never seen. A manager normally in charge is continually told to stop barking like a twat, get your fags out, and get those pissed up prats out of the pub. When George is arrested for drinking on duty he refuses to piss in the bottle or blow in the bag and the police beat a hasty retreat after being accused of postman prejudice. In the main office postmen are dying of overwork! And the “Sun” are investigating while calling the head postmaster - The butcher of Derby. A “Sun” back disguised as a postman, infiltrates a union meeting, is discovered stripped naked and thrown out into the street. He claims he was kidnapped by three beautiful women, robbed, raped and called a male chauvinist pig. The “Sun” loose interest in the head postmaster and concentrate instead on the indignities allegedly heaped on their reporter. Across the country police stations are besieged by legions of men claiming they have suffered similar ordeals. A battle involving post office management, the union, and British rail events rapidly progress from the strange to the down right bizarre.

Download or read book Sabbatical written by Ed Murfin and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2004-06 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a collection of essays and short stories accumulated during the 80's and 90's, all loosely connected via a continuous narrative. This is an introduction to a reality that few have time to see while busy with creation of their own. This is a book for intelligent adults who are not afraid of challenging ideas and who insist on the right to think for themselves. The collection is a worm's eye view of British society at the bottom. The narrative is blunt and uncompromising, takes a wry, bitter but often humorous look at many absurdities in the way we conduct our affairs and is more illuminating of humanity in its gloomlight descriptives than the clinically bright light of academic studies by Oxbridge social isolates.

Download or read book The Hate Game written by Ben Dirs and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2013-10-24 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chris Eubank, with his jodhpurs and gold-topped cane, who lisped in his posh accent about his distaste for the business of 'pugilism', could not have appeared more different from Nigel Benn, 'The Dark Destroyer', the Essex boy who had battled with his demons to reach the top of the boxing world. Their boxing style was just as contrasting, and it was inevitable that they would have to settle their differences in the ring. Their first bout for the WBO world middleweight title, in Birmingham in November 1990, was a brutal affair, widely held to be one of the all-time great contests. Eubank emerged victorious over Benn, the people's champion, and immediately fans called for a rematch. But, for three years, the two men circled each other before coming together again in front of over 40,000 fans at Old Trafford and a global TV audience estimated at 500 million. Author Ben Dirs has interviewed the key protagonists to tell a story that gripped the nation and that still resonates today, 20 years on. It is a tale that reveals the best and the worst of boxing, while rvealing the truth that lay behind the public facade.

Download or read book My Journey written by Jim Stynes and published by Penguin Group Australia. This book was released on 2012-08-22 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unflinching in its honesty, My Journey is the extraordinary memoir of Jim Stynes: Irishman, footballer, Brownlow Medallist, Reach co-founder and former president of Melbourne Football Club whose very public battle with cancer touched the lives of everyone who knew him. When Jim was diagnosed with cancer at the age of 43, he was given nine months to live. The diagnosis caught him by surprise – and he didn't have time for illness. He was a busy father, husband, brother, mentor and businessman. Jim Stynes never took the easy road, on or off the field. He loved a challenge. He pushed himself, and worked hard to help others realise their potential. The same could be said about his cancer journey. Knowing his odds weren't good, Jim gave his all to trying to beat the disease. He embraced life, and made his journey public. His ability to use mind over matter, to never give in, to overcome pain, to believe in himself and his will to succeed gave him two extra years on the prognosis. He worked hard to keep hope alive for himself and his family, and for other cancer sufferers too, defying expectations time and time again. Jim died on 27 March 2012, a month shy of his forty-sixth birthday. A state funeral was held at St Paul's Cathedral in Melbourne, with thousands of mourners watching from Federation Square. A memorial service was also held at his local Ballyroan parish church in Dublin. Jim kept diary notes throughout his battle with cancer, and spent many months talking about his life with his long-time friend, journalist Warwick Green. My Journey celebrates the legacy of Jim Stynes, offering an intimate portrait of a man learning to face his fears and get the most out of every single day. 'If you don't have cancer, cherish life. If you do, cherish it even more.' – Jim Stynes, My Journey For all media enquiries plase contact Anyez Lindop on 03 9811 2512 or on 0419008556 or by email [email protected] 'A moving account of his life before and after the June 2009 cancer diagnosis.'
