    But because he’s our best player he gets away with it. Like Hamer. The COH header is unforgivable, yes he did well to get into the position but doesn’t excuse an awful miss. It’s a silly argument, he missed, so whether he got into position or not is almost moot.

    Not sure why you picked out my post for this comment, I made no mention of Hyam. As I said, the defence was flat footed, and especially Hyam. And by now we all know Hyam is the target of you ire - you don’t need to keep saying it.

    Really disappointing. Until that it was an encouraging first half hour. As always, we look so much better when we play positively. Another easily avoidable goal - really poor pass by COH and defence too flat footed. COH/Allen especially poor there as DaCosta was in acres - nobody ever seems to...

    Right call to bring McFadzean back in. Nonplussed about Wilson, I wasn’t desperate for Marosi to be dropped, but Wilson probably deserves it. Apprehensive about Walker starting, both from a fitness point of view and expectation perspective. Since his injury, he’s almost hailed as the messiah...

    I wouldn’t play DaCosta LWB, while he may be versatile it would nullify his attacking ability in my view. It would also mean Pask at RWB which would also mitigate our outlet on that side, so we’d have no outlets in what will likely be a negative set up anyway. Shipley LWB isn’t ideal but under...

    I know I could (and I will) Google the VO2 Max stuff, as I often see it mentioned. But what’s the benefit/reason for using it as a measure?

    Running

    Thanks for sharing, albeit I wish your experience was more reassuring! Sounds like we were running similar distances pre covid, so I’m concerned now, especially as I have a marathon in October! I ran 4 miles today and it was the hardest one yet, had to stop a couple a times.

    New one tonight; Small Giant by Stewart Brewing, an American Pale. Not the best, fairly bitter for a pale ale and no distinctive taste. Annoying as the can is pretty cool!

    Help with 'offers in excesss' when buying a house

    As others have said, if you’ve offered 5k over right off the bat and they haven’t accepted, coupled with the 13 viewings, they are obviously expecting it to sell for a lot more. Which begs the question why put it on at a lower price in the first place! Equally those viewings won’t all equate to...

    Unquestionably it’s going to be a tough game, especially as you imagine confidence within the squad isn’t particularly high. Combine that with a likely defensive set up from MR and Shipley at LWB and it could be a difficult night. I wouldn’t rule us out though. Hamer/COH/James/DaCosta have...

    Nipped in to get some Klute from Aldi and picked up another I hadn’t seen before; Brut IPA by 10 4 Brewing. Can’t find much about the brewery other than they’re exclusive to Aldi. Brut IPA is a relatively new concept, but it is as it sounds; beer thats brewed to share similar characteristics to...

    Running

    Second run post Covid - 4.5 miles. Started ok but struggled breathing wise towards the end. So frustrating how much fitness I’ve lost.

    You are desperate to justify that embarrassment of a Taxi thread. Today was terrible, MR is not the perfect manager, but he doesn’t need to go. If we were rock bottom, playing terribly with no signs of hope then you may have more reason for your constant narrative. Even if we go down, not sure...

    It’s all in context of previous runs, level of fitness etc, but generally speaking I would say that’s good!

    Running

    The restlessness got the best of me and I did my first run since covid, so four weeks. I ran 3 miles and felt ok all things considered, but it’s incredible how much fitness I’ve lost just from four weeks of inactivity. I probably pushed it too far, so not feeling the best now, so definitely...

    Strictly speaking not a beer so..... But considering the circumstances it’s fully justified. Just reminds me of nights/holidays before responsibilities existed and nights out were ridiculously messy!
