  1. He's completely lost the plot, he's spent the last few months ranting about right wing conspiracy theories online. The boy clearly needs help, but Oscar wont give a shit as long as he's bringing in the money.
  2. I'll be backing a Haney stoppage. There were rumours on twitter all week that he was going to miss weight by a fair bit.
  3. Moron who set himself on fire, was handing out this leaflet just before he torched himself.
  4. Ryan Garcia 3lbs overweight. Not surprising as he's completely lost the plot lately. Haney has confirmed Garcia has stuck to his word and surrendered $500k per lb, so he’s handing Haney $1.5m before a punch is thrown. Not an insignificant sum of money, but the purse is expected to be in the region of $50m with Garcia getting a 55/45 majority share. it’s absolutely insane that guys like this are potentially fighting for up to $30m and world titles, yet still come in so much overweight.
  5. The best thing to do in Dubai, is use the airport to transit to somewhere better.
  6. According to media reports, the Israeli airforce could be about to launch an imminent attack on Iran.
  7. The terrorist state of Israel’s decision to bomb the Iranian consulate was always going to get a response. I sincerely hope the UK don’t get involved.
  8. When I was a youngster, the dinner ladies would serve school dinners. Now this was obviously the meal consumed around midday. Breakfast - dinner - tea - supper. Anyone using the term supper for their main evening meal, rather than a snack before bed, needs launched into the sun.
  9. The oil and gas industry is littered with people who earn very good money, but are either monumentally tight or up to their eyeballs in debt.
  10. One of the problems with conspiracy theories/theorists, is that you can't argue with stupidity. Stupid people don't know they're stupid, so there's no reasoning with them no matter how much evidence they're presented with.
  11. I appreciate your response and have taken onboard everything you’ve said. I only have 2 points to make in response. 1 - Driving cars isn’t a real sport. 2 - I, along with more than half this board it would seem, have no idea who you’re actually talking about.
  12. 7 Aid workers killed in an airstrike. At least 1 of each, British, Australian, American and Canadian nationals dead. Israel is a terrorist nation.
  13. Fundora towered over Tszyu, but Tszyu gave a good account of himself considering how bad the cut was, and yes it was an elbow. He wants a rematch (verbally agreed apparently, which means f**k all), which I'd fancy him to win, but he's now at the back of the queue. Not sure how much Fundora will want of Bud, so may vacate the WBO and keep the WBC to defend. Wouldn't mind seeing both belts on the line though. Spence also called him out, but Bud replied that he'd also need to join the queue. ETA... Looks like he's already agreed to a rematch with Tszyu, so the WBO will become vacant.
  14. WBO have confirmed Crawford is mandatory for Fundora’s 154 title.
  15. Andy Murray spent 41 weeks as world number 1, whilst spending his entire career competing against the 3 greatest players ever to hold a racquet. He's won more masters titles than anyone other than those 3 and Andre Agassi, ahead of the likes of Pete Sampras (a player who literally dominated tennis for a decade). Scotland's greatest sportsman. Close thread.
  16. The people advocating for 100% inheritance tax, are they expecting the state to just seize all assets upon death?
  17. Not really a surprise, it’s a well known fact that all DUP politicians, members and voters are complete wronguns.
  18. Poor Things - spent the majority of the film wondering what the f**k I was actually watching. Visually, it’s superb. It’s as engrossing as it is messed up, which is a lot. I lost count of the amount of times the wife and myself just looked at each other in agreement thinking “what the f**k is actually going on here”. Utterly bizarre film that is unlike anything I’ve seen before. Emma Stone deserved her Oscar though, she was superb.
  19. My morning has consisted of purchasing a Volvo, then going to a garden centre for lunch. I’m officially entering the middle aged man phase of my life.
  20. Vacated IBF at the end of last year, stripped WBA a few weeks ago.
  21. Crawford has said he’ll use his “super champ” status and become WBO mandatory, against the winner of Tszyu Fundora next weekend. With 2 belts currently vacant, can Bud clear up 154 division like he swept through the other 2?
  22. The law is pretty stupid when it comes to inheritance. It should be perfectly acceptable to cut a kid/grandkid out of the will on the account of them being a c**t. As far as inheritance goes, I’m conflicted as I’ll probably benefit fairly well out of it. My wife is an only child so that side is covered and with my folks, everything goes to me and my brother (there will be no conflicts there). That said, I’ve no issue with inheritance tax, but there’s so many loopholes that very few people end up actually paying anything anyway. As I’m now the proud owner of a child, I’d imagine my kid will be pretty much sorted when I eventually kick the bucket.
