  1. I had a look and honestly expected far worse if I've seen the same goal this is referring to. It's poor positioning, caught in two minds about whether to try to play as sweeper keeper or stick closer to the line, but it happens. I've seen that Barkas at Celtic concede worse through bad positioning on Sportscene iirc. It's on TV because its a cup final, watching and then getting snobby/elitist about it just seems a bit weird and mean spirited to me.
  2. Yep - occasionally pop into Tesco near my work for the odd meal deal, and the nearest food places are Subway, Greggs or Burger King around Central Station. edit: by comparison the odd sandwich, crisps and diet drink feels positively healthy. Would be nice to have places serving stuff thats a bit more wholesome but even at that the bulk of the cafes are either extortionate or still cater to folk that just want something fried and tasty. Can't blame them tbh. Pretty sure the likes of Sprite and 7-Up are already advertised as being low calorie & per can they're not far off, say, an equivalent coffee with milk in it. Feels pointless, unless its more targetted at high caffeine content shite like Red Bull / Monster which still... well, doesn't feel like this is targetted enough if thats the end game. Quavers per bag are advertised as being fairly low in calories per bag and all. The bulk of the crisps & chocolates you can get on in a typical meal deal are, I suspect, already low calorie thanks to shrinkflation anyway (unless you're actively hunting for the best value price-to-shite ratio)
  3. Noted on the poll it specifies "viewers" and "watchers" - got to suspect that figure is skewed by armchair fans who'll just lap up whatever EPL shite they're being served.
  4. https://www.bmj.com/company/newsroom/bowel-cancer-rising-among-young-adults-in-europe/ Not necessarily what she has, but there's an awful lot of high profile cases of fairly young folk dying from it that, while tragic, hopefully can result in others getting screened. If one person sees that Kate has it & gets their symptoms checked out off the back of it then that's good enough for me. springing to mind are Deborah James, Jeanette Maus (video game actress), think a Dons player developed it too a while back. Frustrating, as its preventable if its looked for early enough.
  5. https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/5863108/antonio-cassano-sex-food/ The Sun, yuck. arguably doesn't qualify but going by this he hated training for football & vastly preferred food and women to being a professional player. #TopLad #Banter etc. Nile Ranger another seeing as the article mentions petty crime, was involved in all sorts while still playing professionally, think he ran a credit card scam or something
  6. Interesting - suspect the rumour grew arms and legs from the odd comment like this https://www.skysports.com/football/news/2232817/kahn-sick-of-football not the same thing as actively disliking football, really; fighting chance its just a common occupational hazard to end up jaded if you feel like you're being overworked no matter what you do. Arguably why Klopp is leaving too if he's to be taken at face value.
  7. Think Oliver Kahn has spoken about not enjoying football & it just being a job to him.
  8. Kinda this pretty much. Aye, I actually had a pal look at an intermittent check engine light a few months back and it came up with a fuel/air mix code, but it kept going away. Car was due its MOT in September anyway, was hoping to go trouble free til then. Problem is its been running just fine so I've not bothered my arse up until it became properly unignorable. Annoyingly the white smoke is something that I have clocked occasionally but thought nothing of...
  9. Cracked manifold, apparently. New one to me, Dad is already suggesting potholes have fucked it...
  10. Yeah, had to look this up a while back. Wills are still very important but theres kind of minimums set out as legal rights. https://advisingfamilies.org/uk/information-portal/family-matters/legal-rights-scotland/
  11. bumped/paraphrased from Alan Partridge, but stretches of road which alternate from a 40mph limit to a 60mph/70mph limit. Timing the acceleration and braking to technically stay perfectly road legal but absolutely booting the car from 40mph - 60mph. Exhilerating. edit: The stretch that goes from 50mph - 70mph around the Erskine Bridge. Oh baby. (this may explain why mine is needing in for a repair imminently tbf)
  12. Sacked in the Morning is good to listen to while drifting to sleep - can make of that what you will, I'm aware that may be damning with faint praise but it was generally decent, if forgettable.
  13. mmmmmmmrhm afaik performance enhancing substances *can* be used safely - with supervision etc. - but they'd all be taking it right to the limit in order to be competitive As poor as anti doping might be, the fact its not legitimised presumably stops most players/athletes from ripping the arse right out of it. (presumably) Bit uncomfortable as and when any athletes taking part do a Benoit or end up dropping dead in a sauna in their 30's
  14. the shitty consolation Morton managed to get actually came from a short throw in anyway
