I think that if a player dives or play acts he should be automatically banned for five games based on video analysis. It would be hard to send people off for offenses like that during a game, as it is almost impossible for referees to judge play acting at full speed.

It has to be clamped down. I know there are a lot of loop hole's in the above opinion, and I know you will love to point them out, but a variant on something like that would work.

It is hard though to clamp down on cheating which can be hard to detect, but the only way to do so is to come down hard on the cheaters and stamp it out of the game. 10 years ago you never had this fairy poncy stuff that goes on now, Shankly would be turning in his grave.

I'd tend to agree with that. People taking steroids and other drugs get banned for ages, but other forms of cheating should also be clamped down on.

I love football, but that is just taking it too far. I feel bad for him that he felt he had to take his own life over a sporting result.

WOW, What a goal!

A very well taken goal. However, Barcalona still only need one goal. A stat just came up - 70% possession for Barcalona! Still, the only important statistic is Chelsea's goal...

Edit: Actually, this is very reminiscent of last year's Semi-Final involving Barcalona...

    • Along with that and very unfortunate for Linux, the AI boom/tariffs/global supply chain instability really destroyed any chances of it getting a decent chunk of market share. By all accounts, if a Steam Deck was still available for $399 (with tons of alternatives releasing at $500-$800 - instead of $1500+ now) and the Steam Machine was out there for $499, I think a lot of people WOULD have been willing to try SteamOS and switch away from Windows. But yeah, with the crazy jacked up prices now, people have to make safe bets with their money.
    • Neowin hasn't been covering the Ladybird browser but it has been posted about on a lot of tech and Linux/open source sites. I have been following the effort myself for almost a year now. Cloudflare and Proton are among their sponsors. You can read the why here--> https://ladybird.org/#about
    • That's really the user's problem, not the developers. It's not like the Windows 10 EOL was a surprise. Once a product goes out of support, you have to understand YOU are owning the risk of running it - the rest of the world will move on, maybe you'll be OK, maybe you'll be OK for a while, maybe you'll have an issue.... But you can't expect devs to write or certify software for dead operating systems.
    • Not mentioned in this blog post is that Linux has now dropped for 2 months in a row. At a hight of 5.33% in March, then 4.52% in April and now 3.99% in May. I suspect the end of Windows 10 got a bunch of people to try Linux, fueled by all the Microsoft hate, and rabid social media push of that....and now they are going back to Windows 11 because of the normal Linux issues. The vast majority of PC gamers want to use their computers to game and not trouble shoot why a game wont work, or half work.
    • do these change.org petitions ever do anything besides give people a place to complain?
