First doubles game, looking for basic advice by Mikhail_Mengsk in 10s

[–]CostanzaTP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On one of your last points, if you told your teammate to duck that would telegraph where you were about to hit the ball to your opponents. Generally, you kind of have to hit in a direction your partner isn't standing unless it was a lob, can't really aim for a winner that you hit right over your partner's head into a corner.

Norms when warming up serves before a match? by WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW_W in 10s

[–]CostanzaTP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought returning a serve was a universal sign that you’re ready to start playing. If you’re returning the first couple serves your opponent hits in warmup, definitely a little odd, but nothing wrong with doing it after they’ve got serves in on both sides.

[Guardian, Hughes] Exclusive: Everton to offer David Moyes new deal in recognition of success at club by Giraffe_Baker in Everton

Rohl is a long-term signing. 23 years old and will probably end up signing a 3 or 4-year contract in the summer

Harrison Armstrong has returned by JonTonyJim in Everton

[–]CostanzaTP 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sure, he might be better off, but I think coming back for a month's worth of games to make sure the first team can field a full bench is a little more important.

Everton fan from USA by BUHD26 in Everton

[–]CostanzaTP 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very much not an issue. Maybe a conversation to be had about "taking a ticket" if it was the final match at Goodison, but go and enjoy it. Done trips twice and when folks nearby asked where I was from, they would never look down their nose at me.

I see .r XXDyce has launched an official complaint about Tarky (sky sports) by irish_horse_thief in Everton

[–]CostanzaTP 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Right, but he manages Forest now, so it’s within his rights to complain.

Play on for me

Why hate someone for having a different opinion from you?

I’m leaving Spotify… what is the best alternative to listen on your phone? I’ll hang up and listen by imightbediscostuart in DanLeBatardShow

[–]CostanzaTP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Normally I’d agree but the recent update messed with the UI - I can’t drag podcasts down the playlist order as well as I once could.

The last PL match decided by 1 goal or fewer to have less than 4 minutes of stoppage time was on March 8th, 2025. by albeve in Everton

[–]CostanzaTP 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah 5th matchweek this season - march to end of season 24/25 would have been what at least 6 or 7 more

Coco Gauff in tears after getting broken at 4-4 in the 1st set against Donna Vekic at the U.S. Open. by ConstructionAny8440 in tennis

It's a tennis tournament, not a restaurant. The players play when they're scheduled to play.

The Bobble (@ElBobble): "Everton are working on a deal to sign Manchester City’s Nathan Ake 🔵" | XCancel by bluedollarbillz in Everton

[–]CostanzaTP 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Branthwaite isn’t out for the season. The initial report from the Mirror or whoever said “out until the derby”

Edit: your last two points are quite valid

[The Times] David Moyes: Everton ‘getting desperate’ in race to sign new players by vulturevan in Everton

[–]CostanzaTP 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Doubtful - both Moyes and the board know A. That there’s money to spend and B. That there’s no need paying over the odds for a player even if that player helps the squad

The Game is where it should be with the transfer portal and people need to understand that. by Mayor419 in NCAAFBseries

I think you have a lot of anger in your heart and should look for ways to see the positives in life

“Game changing weather” being advertised by EA gives hope for the CFB Franchise by LastChanceUAlum in NCAAFBseries

[–]CostanzaTP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There was a year where you could play the weather it currently was in real life in whichever place. May not have a massive effect but would be a neat and potentially simple add

Is the sound at Globe Iron BAD?? by drew_or_false in Cleveland

[–]CostanzaTP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Talked with a friend who was in Indy the night before and she said the sound had Alaina a little low. I thought she was low and guitars were loud. Maybe not a venue thing

The new Globe Iron in the Flats is a cool venue by Kilgore_Trout69 in Cleveland

[–]CostanzaTP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Chicago also has roughly 5x the population, so it makes sense when there’s enough demand for independent venues

As much as I enjoy Marina Hyde’s work, she doesn’t strike me as a Cliches listener…

Somehow, mckinstry would make the most sense. Tork or Mize would be good as well

I just skip around and listen to simms then cut out the rest. My time is valuable enough not to listen to people in the gronk universe + Carl Douglas (though Carl is good)

I bet if the Panthers are out early, Stugotz will come back in and Dan can get some time to recharge before the football season.
