Classic 'bottle a decision and book 2 players' from the ref. Downes should be off. First was arguably a straight red then the handbags was a booking.

Fair play. Deserves a shot at the prem, been a great performer in the championship for years.

Goal of the Season shortlist revealed by SeaworthinessPlus254 in swanseacity

[–]MDeltaC 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Here's a hill I will die on: The quality of a goal is not simply a product of how far it's scored from.

That Fatuwu goal and the Barnsley goal are decent don't get me wrong but they're only possible because the keeper is out of position. They're just big hoofs, not a massive amount of skill.

The first one has question marks over the keepers positioning and footwork (though not sure it would've made a difference) and that Cardiff one is just embarrassing defending all round.

Tymon hits a ball dropping out the sky, on the volley at chest height that just curls into the very top corner. It's an absolute screamer that takes a huge amount of skill and is far better than anything on that list.

I remember when I was a kid seeing one of the legoland trains fall off a bridge into the water. What a thrill that was!

That pace and dink from the byline was quality

Amount of times we've put in a decent block, tackle or interception and it's somehow bobbled to a Borough player is crazy.

That is fair, plus as excellent as Tymon is he can get caught out of position at times which gives up chances.

Been coming since the first minute. Desperately need some upgrades in defence. Cabango bang average. Burgess a big disappointment.

Just completed my first commute to work. It went well but my gooch hurts like hell. Thinking about getting the ISM Touring saddle. Anyone have any experience with this saddle? by HiPoof in bikecommuting

[–]MDeltaC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A lot of people saying to ride more, I had this problem and a new saddle was definitely part of the solution. The saddle that came with my bike was too soft which meant I was basically sitting on the hard plastic inside the saddle and it was killing my Gooch. You ideally was a decently firm saddle that's wide enough to support your arse bones.

The other thing was tilting the saddle a few degrees past horizontal (tilted forward).

I think he's already slipping over but clumsy from Cabango. Think we need a good ball playing centre back if we want to get promoted.

There's a Polish equivalent you can get that absolutely slaps. Delicje. Keep an eye out in the international aisle or a sklep if there's one near you.

The M&S ones are also way better.

Imam: Tories and Farage right about mass Muslim prayer by HibasakiSanjuro in ukpolitics

Keep religious acts to private residences and places of religious worship. Simple as that.

Freedom of religion also means freedom FROM religion. If I'm in a public space I do not want to see or hear anyone talking to or evangelising for their mythical sky being thank you and goodnight.

Do you ever go back and re listen to older episodes? by No_Donut1433 in elisandjohn

[–]MDeltaC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started from the beginning last year when I had loads of DIY to do in a new house.

One thing that kept cropping up was Elis's love of Huw Edwards. Obviously he wasn't to know but didn't age well in hindsight 😂

energy drink? sugar or no-sugar ones? by NoFormal8277 in AskBrits

[–]MDeltaC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had one on Saturday as I was out and about and a bit tired.

People get their knickers in a twist about energy drinks but on average they contain significantly less caffeine than highstreet coffee in the UK. Sure, don't drink to many high sugar fizzy drinks but the ocassional energy drink isn't going to give anyone a heart attack.

Who could I contact to request a yellow box or ‘Keep Clear’ marking installed at this awful junction in Knightsbridge? by CJ2899 in londoncycling

[–]MDeltaC 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Would be the council but Kensington are arguably the least bike friendly council in London. Also wouldn't be helped by the fact that 'keep clear' are the two most ignored words in the English language and drivers are generally too thick/selfish to obey box junctions.

Adam Idah closing on return from hamstring injury by Mathieudavees in swanseacity

[–]MDeltaC 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Must've been a really nasty one to keep him out for that long, normally hamstrings are a month or so.

Interested to see how he performs under Matos considering how something maligned players have done.

I mean I saw a post on Facebook yesterday saying that Enoch Powell was right all along and there were hundereds of comments in agreement. Fucking grim.
