    World Cup

    Yeah, i'll be intrigued. I suppose since it's in Europe, most of them will be on early doors? I know the Welsh bar and the bar beneath my office show champions league games live. Odd seeing pubs full of non drinkers at 7:30 am! I think most nightclubs have to close by 3am now On a separate note, but WC related: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2018/may/22/rival-captains-make-case-to-fifa-for-paolo-guerreros-world-cup-inclusion?CMP=twt_gu Given that coca tea is quite readily available in Peru, I don't find this hard to believe, but whether it was actually from Cocaine or coca tea, i'm not sure. would have thought the toxicology levels must be fairly different. I know from chewing coca leaves certainly made your mouth numb and obviously a burst of energy, but i'd imagine theres a fair bit more concentration in cocaine. Shame for him to miss it anyway.

    World Cup

    Last one was good, primarily for being in Vegas for some of it. What a blast that was! But by the end of it I found it tiring. There was too much football on. Same went for the euros. I probably watched the least amount of games I ever had. Have my issues with the next two world cups but I’m sure I’ll crack and watch the Russian one. It’s going to be a reasonably open one I reckon. The South American sides aren’t all that and neither are the Europeans. I’m sure the Germans will win it. They’ve always wanted to make it to Moscow
  3. Wonder if Hamilton are going to go back to grass or the grass master surface?
  4. Excellent, need a new show, really enjoyed deep state. Will check out toms recommendation too
  5. Thoroughly enjoying it, you’ll smash it. Nearly done myself. The only annoyance is I’m guessing we’ll have to wait another year for the final one!
  6. Tickets for courtney Barnett in August
  7. Shame, I really wanted Motherwell to win. I know it was worse for us but Scottish football media is gonna be hell for the first few months. Gerard this and now this double treble pish. Thank fuck I’m far enough away. Let’s hope real keep their side of the deal next weekend to ensure the last team they lost to in a European final was us especially given how many bin dippers there appear to be here. Would love to see their smug faces ruined.
  8. I understood we tried to get him on a pre contract in January but it just didn’t happen. Guessing he wanted to wait until the end of the season to see where the land lay.
  9. Didn’t realise it was still an option. Surprised if we got him, financially we wouldn’t be able to compete but he’s the right caliber of player
  10. Remember seeing that in the shops DD, think there was also a dodgy named shop in one of those shopping centres in the city centre. Ah Budapest.

    Films

    Brilliant film and thoroughly dark. The series wasn’t bad either. Watched American Folk tonight, well shot and a good story. Not a thought provoker but a nice watch nonetheless. Ask me food comical moments despite being part of a sad story.
  12. No way, he was shite for hibs.
  13. Darren Moore staying at west brom so that’ll end any dm speculation there for at least until October.
  14. Seems like he’s gone one further and deleted his account. Given the amount of people copied in, namely Logan and record sport I’d hope he gets brought in by the piggery.
  15. Absolutely. He was shite. He was shite at being physical because he always got carded. I mind being at ibrox last season (when we won) and him coming on as a sub. You could just tell he was going to get sent off even before he came on. That’s a pointless player to have on your books. A couple of good goals aside. He was also shite in the air and not great with his feet. Delighted he fucked off.
  16. Who wouldn’t want to go to the former petrofac cup winners?
  17. Allardyce I'll give you, but Moyes, no. You're talking about the past here. Everton and Preston were a long, long time ago. I probably should have qualified that by just saying a corrupt twat and a bang average manager when describing them both.
  18. Would love both Korea’s to turn around and tell the yanks to fuck off.
  19. I’d say McInnes is above average for the spfl but tactically naive or rather too cautious against the bigger sides. You can say he maybe he didn’t have faith in his team this season, but he’s played the same tactics against the bigger teams ever since Rodgers came onto the scene. That season was when we started playing negative pish against the tims, then the Huns the following season. He really needs to play to players strengths though, that’s been my biggest criticism of him.
  20. Have a blue nose mate and he absolutely hated his style of play. Time will tell if it’s the right call or not. But as TC says, can see Moyes ending up back there. Two bang average managers.
  21. Allardyce booted out of Everton
  22. Have you contacted the club / club shop? I’ve always found them very helpful so may know some availability.
  23. Your last point is spot on. In Cosgrove we suddenly had a striker who was able to hold the ball up and successfully lay it off for others around them. Not something Rooney or may are really capable of. Rooney’s qualities of course lay elsewhere. Obviously scoring goals is crucial for a striker so I hope he (Cosgrove) adds that to his game over the summer. Think you’re probably right about McInnes’ thought process, I’d also say he probably had to make a few rushed signings so went for logical, albeit cheaper replacements. I really hope he has a summer where he’s not distracted. That’s what really fucked us over last summer.
  24. Ball definitely isn’t versatile but I wouldn’t be unhappy if he was signed on as a squad player (Just not right back).
