  1. Bit of a tragic thread but I'm too ill to do anything except the bike in the gym
  2. I don't even really like the station that much but there's no adverts so it ends up on all day. Should probably be on NTS or something but too lazy to sort that out. Years ago I'd have had Riley in here but the show got really stale and change was needed. In his defence I know he took less money in order to have no playlist obligations, and the playlist is always mince. The change wasn't good in the end, because that new music show is 99% mediocre and forgettable (even though I like the woman whose name just fell out of my head and Tom R is all right). There is possibly just not a daily programme's worth of stuff for this. 5. Cerys Matthews- too much food and Bob Dylan for me but it is decent for the Sunday mornings when rough, the world stuff is generally good and she's not annoying. Anything about people or cultures is inevitably a bit political and she seems OK on that front 4. G Peterson - hit rate is only about 60% for me but great knowledge and variety and definitely a welcome contrast to the weekday daytimes. Odd scheduling because it's up against jazz on radio 3 I think? 3. Freak zone - Stuart Meconium is a real bore with Radcliffe at the weekends but I like this show, again good contrast to the daytime stuff and a decent hit rate of about 75% imo 2. Huey - arguably the most embarrassing patter but the guy just absolutely kens. The disco stuff is good, the rap is good, the Latin stuff is good, and the guitar/alternative is sparingly used but he hugely kens there as well. 1. Jamz Supernova- somehow this show is the polar opposite of the new music show in that I've never heard any of it and nearly always like think it's good.
  3. If I'm a rovers player seeing a testimonial for *Lewis Vaughan* with a crowd in the hundreds, I'm thinking there is probably nothing I could ever do or overcome to have these fans fully onside. Absolutely can't get my head around it. Surely with folk realising there's no game at the weekend sales will pick up.

  5. Come on folks. Ideal chance for the support to show Lewis Vaughan what he means to you. You spend £20 on all sorts of nonsense. Get it bought!
  6. Small, wide. Don't know what it holds but around half of the crowd are guaranteed a restricted view one way or another... Gender neutral toilets in theory but they're still in two locations set out like trad male and female - I saw a lot of folk look confused and embarrassed feeling they'd gone in the wrong one. Good in principle but needs better signs. The one on the right hand side has urinals!
  7. VAR should be kept BUT other than automated stuff (ball out of play / over goal line) each dugout should get three challenges to use to check *specific* offences (eg. Handball by no 3 in box, our no 9 held by no 4 in box, etc) like tennis. No speculative challenges, penalties of some kind for spurious claims. No reason why Scotland can't lead the way in applying VAR sensibly. Instead of more opportunity to arrive at correct decisions, cynics might say the current method just gives more opportunities to produced preferred outcomes
  8. It obviously isn't, but the inevitable both-sides-ism means "if we're no allowed to call them this then they're no allowed to call us that" In before the lock btw
  9. Optimistic today but I hope that if we do find at 5pm we've played 16 and lost 2, the fans can still show appreciation for the run it's been and the position we're in. I'm sure it'll happen naturally. Whatever happens keep the togetherness and the positivity, a confident goalie etc
  10. Can't go wrong with Tago Mago or Monster Movie, but a non-Can tip would be Faust IV if you haven't already heard that And a bit more of a stretch but why not Popul Vuh as well
  11. Have heard/seen a lot of the podcasts including the live ones in the US - diverting enough on a work day but wouldn't have travelled very far for the live 'experience'.
  12. Good shout, Arfield, De Vos, Zanatta, the big boy Hearts had, Nick Dasovic, Paul Fenwick... plus anyone from after 2002 who i've automatically not heard of
  13. Iran will be really stuffy and probably on a world record win bonus to beat the US again, but something's really wrong if England don't beat them. EVS is pretty good. Qatar could probably get enough help and be prepared enough to keep the Ecuador game tight...enough to get a win is itself quite a big call. Then they have to get a draw with Senegal (look at Senegal's XI), and then Senegal have Ecuador in the 3rd game and likely just need to better Qatar's result against them? I'm of the same mind as you in theory but it needs to be pretty long odds.
  14. To me that seems closer to the total SPFL players at the tournament? Only Wotherspoon in for Canada (no Arfield or Zanatta etc)
  15. Main fear is getting moved for telly to some abominable time of the week like a Monday night. TBF will probably have a decent amount of match based fear once that telly issue is resolved
  16. There may well be a secondary issue with overseas players and work permits but there's a major reset of the footballer labour market in the UK this summer. Inflation affects footballers too, and given that most are on 1 or 2 year contracts, a huge proportion are reassessing what they are worth in GBP (with agents in their ears I assume). I don't think the Rovers put season ticket prices up so something has to give. Players at our level are likely looking one level further down the English league than they would have a year ago, unless they're happy with a real terms pay cut - like the one you are currently enjoying, versus inflation. We're not the only club in a poor state of readiness for the start of the league. Clubs will have to be very shrewd indeed to avoid some overall drop in quality or consistency. IMO.
  17. If there is already something to this effect in the Heardle thread... sorry. It's probably old news that are loads of these springing up; the source code seems to be available in the 'info' section on each site, if you are inclined to make your own. That kind of thing is beyond me though. If there are any replies with others I'll try to add them to this post here and there. https://beck-heardle.glitch.me/ https://nin-heardle.glitch.me/ (Nine Inch Nails) https://takeoasis.glitch.me/ (REM) https://90s-heardle.glitch.me/ https://heardle80s.com/ https://metalheardle.glitch.me/ https://marillion-heardle.glitch.me https://manics-heardle.glitch.me
  18. Gig was really tremendous Did you see the man himself dotting about?
  19. Class, first go of this one #Yeardle #71 https://histordle.com/yeardle
  20. The correct answer is surely a nice long train to Montrose with a big bag of cans
  21. I don't remember seeing a vacancy for CEO before we appointed one.
  22. Yeah I think it's spoken about because it's a really obvious match of out of contract, proven manager with a club that needs exactly what he's done before. It's an interesting test of just how farcical Falkirk these days, whether they're at least looking at it.
