  1. Aye I think I've maybe got the cleats too far up my foot nearer my toes, maybe needs to come back a wee bit. Other thing I noticed cycling with clipless shoes was my knees and lower quads killing me. No idea if this is because it's my first bout of exercise in 7 months, or if its the cleats or the height of my seat
  2. Not a great commute home when my back tyre went down and my pump fucked the presta valve and halved it . First time I've had a bike with these valves and they're a nightmare! For those who have shoes, did you fit your own cleats or get someone do it for you? I fitted mines last night but my right heel was pretty uncomfortable whilst cycling today.
  3. Got gifted this from my MD last week! Not had a proper shot on it yet due to not having cycling shoes and matching cleats but got those tonight. Been using a hybrid bike for the last 4 years so looking forward to this and seeing the difference when out on rides Unfortunately my fitness is a shambles thanks to 7 months of no exercise after my achilles rupture back in September. Hoping this new bike will spur me on again!
  4. I guessed he did the radio commentary, just a hard listen which is a shame as the stream is great.
  5. This commentator is fucking brutal to listen to, not just the shite he's talking but doesn't allow any voids, always has to be talking! Tempted in putting on an album by Jess Glynn as I'll probably tolerate that a bit better.
  6. I always thought it was Joe Miller that was involved or connected to the DPC?
  7. Forgot about the Dubai apartment . Has any other Scottish club had as many chancers and time wasters involved at their clubs as 23 have?
  8. Talking of investment, what happened to they Brazilian investors who were waiting for their local branch to reopen? They still closed?
  9. Has anyone else here went through this shitey injury? Unfortunately online there's surprisingly little in how people have coped with recovery and how they were able to get back to their full fitness, if they ever did. I ruptured mines back in September whilst playing 5s, only a few days after I cycled from Larbert to Largs (no idea if that contributed to it). I chose not to go for surgery so was stuck in the moon boot and crutches for 10 weeks. Any recovery stories and tips would be welcome! Especially with the weather getting better I'm desperate to start getting fit again after 6 months of doing virtually nothing.
  10. Big uproar in Mönchengladbach after the Derby defeat to Köln. Marco Rose has been running a squad rotation all season which isn't overly popular with the fans as we seem to take care of Bayern, Leipzig, BVB but then struggle against your Freiburgs and Hoffenheims. Last night's game against Köln Marco Rose made 7 changes to the team that beat Stuttgart in thr DFB Pokal on Wednesday. Thuram, Plea, Hofmann, Elvedi and Bensebaini were all on the bench, 5 of our best players who in a full strength XI, all of which would've started. In the starting XI v Köln, only Sommer, Lainer, Ginter, Nauhaus, Zakaria and Neuhaus would have started plus the 5 benched players. Bad enough when Gladbach are chasing a champions league spot to be throwing away points with stupid squad rotation gambles but to do it against your fiercest rivals, no matter how shite they are and no matter the fact they played 120mins on Wednesday away in Regensburg, it was no excuse and the fans are angry. A strong 1 paragraph statement from the fan project (who are aligned to Borussia) said "anyone who uses a squad rotation experiment in a Derby does not understand Borussia mönchengladbach". Unlike Bayern or closer to home BVB, Borussia don't have the depth in quality within the squad to rotate. We have a starting XI that could win the league, but we don't have the reinforcements for injury cover nevermind a rotation which is why we are not able to challenge Marco Rose is also linked to the BVB job and is refusing to publicly accounce his commitment to Borussia mönchengladbach, again much to the annoyance of the fans. Marco Rose was held in very high regards by the Borussia faithful but with his recent lack of commitment and Saturdays disaster and lack of respect to the fans and club (with his starting XI in a Derby), the "Marco Rose Raus" is becoming a popular phrase.
  11. The Forfar one is probably a good shout, can stand and watch the game whilst waiting to be served. Pies are cheap as f**k as well. Not this league but the wee Annan shed is quite unique (compared to modern day facilities)
  12. Still my favourite Borussia player, he's outstanding! Thought he was excellent tonight but special mention to Hoffman who I was never really a fan of but since Marco Rose came in he's been class and tonight he was brilliant again, 2 great finishes from him! Love a game against Bayern
  13. The pixilot system had a remote control joystick for manual control so I assume that'll be used today
  14. Is "the bully wee" from Brazil or speak Portuguese? Maybe he works for Megabus? Who knows...
  15. That'll no doubt be the creepy time waster from Thomas the Tank
  16. Have a brilliant Christmas when it comes and here's a wee video from my younger days to kick-start the season. Lots of love from an old friend Günther xx
  17. Said this earlier in a group chat, Montrose are one of the better teams in this league and their manager I have no idea why he is still there, especially when down the road in Dundee they still have that waster McPake. Petrie easily one of the best managers in the league. He's built a cracking wee unit up at the Mo and has them playing well. With all that, delighted we got the 3 points but that was all down to having the best striker outside the top league.
  18. On that note, what the f**k is Diamond and Five Heid up to if a signing we desperately needed happened to be an ex player coming back signing on amateur terms obviously doing us a favour... Get rid of they 2 and get some money in the pot for wages.
  19. Strange signing but to even have him in the dressing room is a huge deal. Whether he'd fit in, maybe who knows. When we had McStay and Grant our midfield was fast and Nichol didn't suit that. Now our fast players seem to be further up the pitch with the front 3 made up out of Goodie, love, syvertsen and cunningham. To have Nichol anchoring the midfield in front of him, it might actually work. Ideally I'd loved to have had Rankin back but surely Lennon must've already reached out to him as by bringing Nichol in, he knew what he needed in that midfield. Singing as an amateur, Nichol loves the Clyde and we love him. Let's see how it goes.
  20. Decided against my better instincts to buy the stream. Waste of fucking time. We need a midfield pronto!
