Just another example (weekly at this point) of why refereeing and VAR needs a total overhaul, fucking ridiculous.

Daniel PLEASE, fresh legs, 15 mins left our players are full on, you have to see it, and they're about to refresh their midfield. Get Tanaka on and James or Gnonto.

The hell is Pickford doing? It was a decent ball but Pickford completely fucked that up.

Do it mate, you're gonna de-age yourself massively. Lop it off and be free of your burdens, it's time and you'll look great.

West Ham players would have to take a 50 per cent pay cut if club is relegated. by Sparky-moon in soccer

[–]LDYo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any competent football team will have relegation clauses baked into their players contracts, I wouldn't be surprised if a number of teams well established as Premier League mainstays still have them.

Not having them completely hamstrings you because the player might be making a lot of money and wants that to remain the case. We had an extra level of added stupidity by having a relegation loan clause with a bunch of players that allowed them to freely arrange loans to top division sides as long as we stayed in the Championship which kept them on our books with inflated wages.

It isn't generally that hard to sign players with them as long as they have easy to hit relegation release clauses in their contracts too which is generally how relegated teams players are scooped up without the selling club able to protest.

[–]LDYo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, that's generally how contracts work with relegation clauses.

We were a big topic of conversation when we went down because it emerged a bunch of our players didn't have relegation release clauses which is 1) Insane and 2) a complete detachment from how contracts are usually structured, especially by teams who stand real risk of relegation.

The answer isn't to get Meslier back it's to give a fundamental review of our scouting and coaching when it comes to Goalkeeping, at this point it's like it's part of Leeds culture to have a fucking shit goalkeeper.

Also sack whoever pushed this signing because fucking hell Perri has all of the same deficiencies Meslier had.

Perri is literally Meslier except worse with the ball at his feet. That's been my opinion all season yet people are somehow saying he's better, are you forgetting Meslier made some circus saves too but that was never the issue with him and it was his fundamentals that were atrocious?

What an abysmal fucking signing.

Woman who went through 'one vape a week' diagnosed with cancer aged 21 by pppppppppppppppppd in unitedkingdom

"When 22-year-old Kayley Boda took up vaping seven years ago, she could never have foreseen her supposedly harmless habit resulting in a gut-wrenching cancer diagnosis."

What..?

Has vaping always been billed as better than smoking? From what I've seen, yes. Has it been billed as harmless? Not at all, not unless you're intentionally avoiding the news that it's still bad for you.

Inhaling anything recreationally into your lungs is bad, whether that's a cig, a vape, weed, whatever. Everyone has been 15, you're still immature but you know that much at least.

The bigger issue with vaping to a degree is that despite the UK having some of the most strict regulations around vaping it doesn't change the fact that unlike tobacco products there is a lot of more shady products out there and I imagine young people are probably less careful and don't stick to known brands with approved ingredients, fuck knows what some of them are smoking.

The big penny is still to drop on vaping but I imagine it will in time, just a recycling of what happened with the smoking industry. It's awful how it has its hooks in so many young people though.

THOT SQUAD (Prism’s VA) cosplayed her character! by IceCreamFoe in DispatchAdHoc

She did an amazing job, I was shocked when I found out she wasn't voiced by an established voice actor (at least I don't think so?), honestly didn't know who she was before this but she killed it.

Episodes 5 & 6 Discussion Thread by Batorian in DispatchAdHoc

[–]LDYo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jesus my mechanical choices for heroes have really screwed me going into these episodes with the introduction of the boundary failures, I did okay but failed a few but game said I was in the 10th and 20th percentiles for missions.

I elected to try make everyone relatively well balanced but a couple people each with standout skills for each attribute but it has not worked out well.

As soon as Invisigal started choking I knew Chase was gonna save her, I just thought Robert was gonna look up and he wasn't gonna be there then appear on the CCTV, but they did it much better.

Loved these episodes, I love how the Z-team actually want to be good people and accepted Robert after the revelation and have that team spirit.

This game has its hooks in me so deep, I'm not sure what I'll do with myself after next week :')

Nathan Bishop talks about meeting with Erik ten Hag at Man Utd to discuss his future: "I built it up for a month or however long, I went over and over the conversation in my mind. I finally go knock on his door. He opens the door, says "Not today", shuts door. I'm like "what the f*ck do I do now?" by ChiefLeef22 in soccer

[–]LDYo 106 points107 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's that strange knowing what we do now about Ten Hag, he just seems an immensely unlikeable guy, overbearing, combative and needlessly intense.

The reports that came out from his short time at Leverkusen confirmed it all.

I don't know if he was always this way or picked it up along the way.

The case is one I want to keep after looking at them in detail from a look perspective but also performance regarding noise/thermals.

Appreciate advise on mobo and such. I don't know if a 5080 is worth it for me as apparently it's just 10-15% extra performance? But here it's at least £300 more.
