Don't think it's a great move long-term for Littler to accept the Premier League place. Humphries spoke about how missing out the PL place last year was the best thing that could've happened to him to allow him to focus on his game and other tournaments, feel like a lot for a 16 year to handle. Surprised Dobey didn't get a place ahead of Peter Wright.

Week 4- QotS

Week 3- Hamilton

Week 2- Rangers

Week 1- Celtic

I couldn't actually hear what she was saying, but I thought the idea was for the referee to provide context behind the decision they were about to make. I'm all for it personally. Makes the referee a bit more accountable for their decision given they have to explain it to the crowd and will hopefully help to remove some of the uncertainty in the stadium around what has been checked and how they arrived at the outcome.

Well we're half way there then

If Shankland doesn't start upfront as a number 9 then I'll be hiring a plane

Hopefully Gino is fit after going off midweek, but if he's not I'd quite like to see Kuol thrown in to provide a bit of pace upfront. Worst case it shuts up the Aussies & Newcastle fans on Twitter moaning about his lack of game time.

Absolutely shite, long gone are the days of exciting Cheltenham offers

Very likely that I'm asking a daft question here, but how do people get the Icon cards etc? I've managed to pick up a few TOTW cards in objective/reward packs, but all of the SBCs seem like I'll need to spend a fortune to be able to trade an 86 rated squad etc. What am I missing?!

Feels near enough identical to FM22 for me at the moment too. Had grand plans to conquer Europe with Hearts before realising that our transfer budget is a measly £100k. Boo.

Just remembered he’s suspended as well. Every cloud!

As a Hearts fan with a bit of a soft spot for Arsenal that draw for Zurich has rubbed salt in the wounds a bit.

Yeah our lack of depth is a bit of a worry. I really hope we don't throw Sibbick in given recent performances and his confidence must be at rock bottom, although it's hard to tell if confidence or ability is the real problem.

Anyone tried Kevin Bridges' first fiction novel 'The Black Dog'? I'm intrigued by it but also very aware that it could be absolutely shite. Early reviews on Amazon are pretty mixed.

Interesting Twitter thread on the financial benefits of Europa League/Conference League group stages. TL;DR: we're loaded.

I was swithering on whether to go today or not, chose to go and regretted it within 20mins.

I'd quite like to see it in Scotland from a personal perspective, for those who are consciously counting calories for whatever reason it makes things a bit easier. I can see the argument for not doing it given the impact on people with eating disorders at whatnot though.

Shishkin killed me yesterday, although ended up throwing some cash at Facile Vega in the last which worked out pretty well given the drift before the off. Struggled to choose between GDC and Bob Ollinger but I've opted for the former (so the latter will definitely now win) in a double with Allaho. Will probably just pick out a e/w L15 from the other races today unless anything jumps out at me.

Skybet offering extra places on most races today but means they're not eligible for BOG, cheeky.

Wouldn't be surprised if Dysart Dynamo wins the opener, but I've gone with Jonbon in the Skybet offer as it offers a bit more value. Fourfold on with the odds on favourites (Honeysuckle, Sir Gerhard, Allaho & Shishkin). Was tempted to throw in Facile Vega as well as/instead of but I'm not starting to lean towards American Mike in the Champion Bumper.

I know Beni & Devlin ran rings round him but didn't expect him to jack it in afterwards tbh

Wordle 251 6/6 Thought the streak was going for a minute there, phew.
