Such a shame because finally we have people capable of managing & coaching and the team have discovered some long lost spirit & determination. (Shooting boots are still mislaid.)

Indeed.

I always call such people ‘dicks’- but sadly that may be viewed as a compliment.

I’d like a run of wins from now to the end of the season personally! Being serious, we could really do with some sort of a result tomorrow, to keep boosting the performance mentality that Mozza has engendered. It’s been a while since we’ve put on a good performance after a break though…..

US and Israel’s war on Iran is a disaster for the environment, analysis shows Exclusive: War has led to 5m tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions in two weeks and is draining the global carbon budget faster than 84 countries combined

5 million tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions in two weeks.

That's about one tenth of the greenhouse gas emissions of Ireland in a year (52 weeks)* in just 2 weeks.

Plus academies scooping up huge numbers of players affects a multitude of other sports. The potential of earning vast sums as a football superstar lessens the number who try the likes of athletics, cricket, rugby, tennis, squash, rowing etc.

I’ll just be crossing fingers & toes in hope.

I’m hoping the gods are even angrier with 2 more teams. Goodness only knows what Wednesday did to upset them.

Oh ffs

Fingers well & truly crossed.

For decades our corner routine has been to hit the near post defender.

Captured in bright indoor lighting before a hessian pin board, a Great Horned Owl with wide-eyes and wet-plumage is cloaked in a white cloth. Spiked feathers radiate from his head in all directions, like a hairy durian, accentuating his look of shock and indignation. We may have found the true paragon of Owls in Towels.

If 2 teams below us keep losing. That’s a lot of ducks to get in a row a lot of times.

Inching up the table. Phew.

The Threshold The right used to attack athletes who protested. Now they attack athletes who express feelings at all.

Amber Glenn won Olympic gold on Sunday. That same day, she left social media because of death threats. Her offense: she'd told reporters the queer community is going through "a hard time." The headline called it "backlash." www.readtpa.com/p/the-thresh...

I hope he is blooming thinking about it. That’s his job. And to set up the team appropriately so they can play without pressure or fear. Imbecile- I expect my gap year coach to be learning how to do this.

Fab article Chris. I read it and my heart sank at how these institutions fail to learn anything about how to build effective teams. I think I could do better & I coach a different sport. 😢

Paris said au revoir to cars. Air pollution maps reveal a dramatic change. Air pollution fell substantially as the city restricted car traffic and made way for parks and bike lanes.

“Air pollution fell substantially as Paris restricted car traffic and made way for parks, people-streets and bike-lanes.”

Better for the climate, better for health, better for livability and quality of life.

Common sense.

Such a no-brainer, it’s remarkable that more cities HAVEN’T done the same.

Astle is the King!

Many of the newbies are the Corbyn lot!

I think I’ve read that there is a link with training/fitness & MND. Dementia & constantly heading the ball has been a link since the late great Jeff Astle’s inquest.
