    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    This is the key thing for me. Can’t really be arsed to go into detail but it is a difficult situation to deal with and balancing the spread versus damage to the economy and everything that comes with it is not an enviable position to be in. BUT... with a further lockdown inevitable, doing a...

    Think it’s somewhere in between mate. “The character of Holden Ford is loosely based on FBI agent John E. Douglas, on whose book Mindhunter: Inside the FBI's Elite Serial Crime Unit the show is based.[23][24] The character of Bill Tench is based on pioneering FBI agent Robert K. Ressler.”

    It had limited release in US I think mate. Was to be a full release but Covid scuppered that so Netflix bought the rights. I’m currently reading The Killer Across the Table. John Douglas is the Agent/Author. But from that I can see he has written a few books so will be checking them out after...

    Few recommendations from recent viewing. All Netflix. Mindhunter - series about the FBI developing criminal profiling. Two agents modelled on real people interview serial killers in prison. Fantastic show and has led me on to the real Agent’s many books on the subject. The trial of the Chicago...

    I suspect we’d have sore necks if we were watching in the stadium tonight based on that starting 11. Would not rule out Max notching a couple tonight. Could be a master stroke as Reading will have prepared to play our short passing/play out from the back side. I do agree RE Kelly though. Has...

    Match Thread Middlesbrough

    I have personally put him in at RB as I don’t think Giles will make for a good LB and so McCallum has to play LB in a back 4. I wouldn’t have Pask anywhere near the RWB role. We will play wing backs Tuesday I’m sure and MR will correctly play Giles on the left and McCallum on the right.

    Team for Tuesday, in true football manager style; GK - Marosi (Sweeper Keeper - Support) LB - McCallum (Complete Full Back -Support) CB - Hyam (Ball Playing Defender - Defend) CB - McFaz (No Nonsense Centre Back - Defend) RB - Pask (Full Back - Defend) DCM - Kelly (Anchorman - Defend) CM -...

    Scores on the doors v Blackburn

    They had 24% possession today and conceded 25 shots. Doesn’t sound like Norwich edged them out tbf.

    O'Hare, Allen and Godden

    I think the midfield and front 3s are spot on and could work. Just not sure we can put a decent back 4 together. McCallum would probably be a decent LB but Dabo seems to be a natural getting forward all game. And at CB the usual three may be too slow, certainly Fadz... Maybe Ostigard and Hyam...

    Absolute shocker today with Rose taking a big chunk of the blame. Still far too early to judge the side though, haven’t even put our best side out yet and even then you can’t make a call until we’ve had a good run at it. MR has been shafted by Hamer and Rose so far. As I’m sure the team will...

    Then when we get an injury we can go down to nine.

    Red was harsh but Rose fucking stupid for giving the ref the option. Shame as we started well.

    There is no ifollow app but I read that you can go on the club website via a Firestick webrowser, set the browser to “pc version” and then play the match as if you were on a computer. I tried with our Firestick (first generation, really old and “loaded” with Kodi that no longer works) but...

    Realistically though, would the standard even be that great? Outside of Barca, Real, Atheltico and Bayern there would be a load of shite making up the numbers. As seen in the Champions League season in season out.

    Seems to be a league to run alongside existing domestic leagues, albeit with up to 30 matches for each participant. https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/12109174/european-premier-league-liverpool-and-manchester-united-in-talks-for-fifa-backed-tournament

    Dunk’s tackle on Cahill was a bit naughty. Nick would be proud.
