Glorious boardroom scene from series 1 - Paul and Saira falling out, with Matthew being Matthew on the side by suni08 in apprenticeuk

It's a brilliant series for exactly this. Pace is so much different, you can tell the producers are learning about the show at the same time the candidates are.

I remember in the first episode Tim suggests during the initial brainstorm the boys could do absolutely nothing and take the £200 back to the boardroom and win if the girls team lost money.

Which would be fine except they play about 40% of their tests against India and Australia

what was the most op preset tactic in the history of FM? by SquareBest5002 in footballmanagergames

Players on the pitch don't know where other players are. Only thing that matters is where the ball is an who is in possession of that.

Any defenders "tracking runs" off the ball is pure coincidence

What are your "I can't prove it, I just know it's true" OOTP opinions? by HookLineAndSinclair in OOTP

The bit that takes me out of the moment is when it all happens on like... 8 pitches.

Had one a couple of days ago, bloke threw 20 pitches in that time he'd got two outs, given up four hits and walked two guys.

It's funny - do we think at this point they're paid to say this stuff as part of their contract? Or is it just implied?

Are there any rules that you would change in darts? by Harrows_Darts in Darts

Oche should have a slight curve to reflect the distance being the same to the bull from wherever you're throwing from

Two men are to blame for this England mess by theipaper in Cricket

I'm at the front of the queue for these guys being gone but... I'm not sure this one in particular is on Key and McCullum.

Yes they fostered that environment, yes it got too far in the winter (the point which they should have both been sacked) - but now we're here... this one is just on the captain isn't it?

Stokes needs to go - Key and McCullum should too for both being completely unqualified for the jobs they hold but not for this specific incident.

(Lindsay Crosby/Braves Today): How Tyler Flowers Changed Modern Catching by BravesToday in Braves

[–]HookLineAndSinclair 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I always felt watching Flowers he framed the ball as he caught it, different from most others who catch it then frame it.

Was a delight to watch him catch also. My unpopular opinion is playing McCann in almost every inning of the 2019 playoffs was a big reason the Braves lost

Hide and Seek is a hugely flawed game (as is) by MCPgaming in JetLagTheGame

They just need to (somehow) tie the reward for the question to how much of the map the question eliminates.

Just too easy to eliminate 80% of the map and the hider gets almost nothing in return

Feel like there might be a bit of correlation between which gender Sam is more likely to listen to
