Woeful lack of imagination & dynamism in attack. Utterly predictable & easy to defend against at this level.

Credit to Scotland but playing like this Eng wouldn't even compete with SA, NZ or France. They'd be lucky compete wth Ireland, Aus & Pumas. & when you're 11 points down in the 52nd min why go for a drop goal? Drop goals are for adding to a lead or to win a close game in the dying seconds

Some of these were great & all are worth a listen. Seeing this brought back memories. There was a related series called Another Late Night too. I think the Groove Armada curated Back to Mine & Another Late Night got the most plays

The program that questions everything finally questioned its own paywall.

A paragraph from the ROLSI.net guest blog by Phil Hutchinson on the Manchester UK echo/CA reading group

A fascinating ROLSI blog post by @philhutchinson.bsky.social on the long running ethnomethodology/CA reading group, originally based at Manchester University.

This passage is from the intro to te Molder & Potter (eds) - 2005 - Conversation & Cognition. Good to see Jeff living up to his reputation! He never disappointed.

Ha ha, only if I can be Phoebe

A great write up on the life and liveliness of the “Manchester” EM Reading Group. As Phil says, it’s rare to find space to really talk and think in modern academia.

I don’t get to go as often as I’d like, but like any favourite place that one has, knowing it’s there makes things a little better.

Guest blog: Ethnomethodology, from Manchester to MS Teams One of the most adhesive binding agents for researchers in EM/CA is the weekly get-together, whether to pore over data or to discuss the week’s chosen reading. Some reading groups and data se…

If you would like to explore some of Jeff's work, having read this short piece by Bo & me in The Psychologist, you could start with some of the items on this thread I put together in May this year: bsky.app/hashtag/Jeff...

Bo and I wrote a little piece on Jeff Coulter for The Psychologist @psychmag.bsky.social

the picture is a screenshot of the Abstract of Potter's 2006 article Cognition and Conversation, published in Discourse and Society V.8 Issue 1

Potter, 2006, Cognition and Conversation

journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

This is a great thread, which encouraged me to go back to Conversation and Cognition this morning. I then proposed that we work through it, chapter by chapter, in the reading group I facilitate, & add Potter's follow-up paper from 2006, in which he responds to Drew.
So thanks!

The (Re)Production, Negotiation, and Navigation of Social Asymmetries‐in‐Action: An Introduction to the Special Issue This article reconsiders, and argues for, the contribution of ethnomethodological and conversation analytic research (EM/CA) to the understanding of social asymmetries in action. As well as highlight....

The introduction to our special issue on the (re)production of asymmetries-in-action. It’s been a pleasure working with @cathtam.bsky.social and our contributors in demonstrating EM/CA approaches to various “isms” and some of sociology’s “Big” concerns.
