Thanks Borolad, I was hoping it was case of mainstream media outlets being behind the curve. Wouldn’t be the first time would it?

Forgive my ignorance here, and I hope feverntly it’s not significant, but mainstream news reports are stating that the RUs have broken through the Ukrainian defence lines. Is there any credence to this?

A media savvy labour candidate had such a lot to get stuck into Houchen for. There were loads of opportunities for political attention grabbing stunts and sound bites. It’s f!xking galling that they’ve not been able to topple him. Where was the dialogue with the Lib Dems? Surely it would have...

Brilliant Juninhburger 👍 Some skill and hard work gone into that. I’m amazed by the size of it 😀 Sock to ‘Stilts’ next 👍

That’s great news. I too find this thread a source of comfort and interest and also a bit perplexing at times. I thought your mate’s summary of the Middle East situation was right on the button. How do we deal with a problem like Netanyahu? For balance I’d add that the theocratic, misogynistic...

Sligo is pretty cool too. And for a small town with a brilliant location Westport is worthy of consideration. Achill island the Atlantic Drive are close by and scenically superb. I also love Dingle and the Slea Head Peninsula with the option of a trip to the Blasket Islands. I’d choose all three...

Or his hooves are made of porcelain. No, good point Pierre, maybe boots are lighter and less robust than they used to be.

I’ve been following Boro 50 odd years and can’t remember a season as bad, but maybe it’s my memory and the disappointment and frustration of this season,but I can’t honestly remember one as bad. I think Carrick is doing a great job btw and am chuffed with the resilient nature of today’s...

I disagree strongly R00fie1. Progress this season has been severely hampered by our failure to put out a settled XI. We’ve been wracked by injuries all season. Just because they are of a different nature doesn’t and shouldn’t exclude an assessment of our approaches to training, injury management...

There really does need to be a root and branch review of our training approach and injury management at the end of the season. We’ve a shocking record. Is it the intensity of our training? I know Carrick likes to replicate the real match scenarios, but if our players are so fragile is it worth...

Thanks for the tip, my misses loves a good whodunit. We’ll give it a go.

I’ve also completed the West Highland Way recently. I added a few bits on and topped out at 112 miles for the week. I started the Dales Way from Harrogate Link last September and that also topped out at over 100. In a single day, I’ve run 50 miles four times, completing the Woldsman in East...

2004/05 season, last match against Citeh. European football riding on the result, Schwarzer saves Fowler’s last minute penalty. I’d chucked the radio across the floor when we gave the penalty away and stormed out of the house, only for my Misses to lean out of the window and call, ‘you should...

Good news indeed. Mogga embodies the best of us. A gentleman, tough as old boots with integrity and a proper moral code stamped through him. He’s an icon of our club and as important to our survival and history as Sir Bruce and Gibbo. Be lucky Tony!

Similar to Rauku, but other end of the age spectrum. Twenty five years ago I had a minging hangover and went into a bakery for a much needed pasty. A mother and toddler followed me into the shop, the bairn was no more than four or five years old. As I made my purchase an absolute silent belter...
