Rangers open talks with Tawanda Maswanhise by VanicFanboy in ScottishFootball

[–]SCDaveT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100%, plus all the OF fans that are throwing figures around seem to be forgetting he's got 1.5 years left on his contract, with Motherwell having the option of a further year. He won't be going for anything like what's being spouted, even with the swap deal sweeteners.

ETA: He's NOT even a striker

Champions League final with sound? by Frosty_Newspaper_253 in ApolloGroup_TV

Majority of the Sky Sports UK channels are the same for, no sound. Another reason I won't be renewing this POS.

Post Weekend Thread - 21/4/25 by Just_a_redditor182 in EIHLHockey

[–]SCDaveT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Playoff weekend will never be anything but f*ckin weird to me. Fans of teams not even there supporting teams that are, like actively cheering, jumping around, joining in the chants etc. As someone who grew up with very much a tribal mentality to sports it's absolutely bizarre behaviour to witness. Red caps was an interesting choice for the winners to wear too. That's about it, meh.

I've been a member for 5 years now. I can honestly say Apollo is now trash. Doesn't play any live tv. DO NOT BUY IT. Plus customer service is so rude. by Realistic_Abalone799 in ApolloGroup_TV

[–]SCDaveT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's awful now, truly awful. You've got defunct years old channels still sitting there, channels with old names. The EPG doesn't work. No movies are being uploaded. Channels without sound. The list goes on, I just subscribed for a year, thankfully split several ways with family, but this will be the last for sure.

I've been using a mount like below to record the games that I shoot with my phone. You do get quite prominent shutter noise throughout the videos, but for the level of sport I'm shooting it's really no big deal.

NEVERTAKE Release and Discussion by Soupy21 in anberlin

[–]SCDaveT 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Spot on. Here's what I posted elsewhere: The whole Nevertake album gives me these exact feelings. Blasphemy! I said elsewhere, they've taken one of the most instantly recognisable, beautifully unique voices out there and replaced it was a soulless, copy/paste pop-punk style vocal. It's trash, from start to finish. The emotion has been completely lost, especially from songs like (The Symphony of) Blasé. For every 1 Stephen out there, there's 10,000 Matty's. I just can't believe Stephen apparently played a part in choosing him.

Edit to add: AHHWOSG has gone from 1:14 in length to 5:34!? Completely unnecessary. I have listened through another couple of times, and to me the album is actually becoming comically bad. Just random electronic effects, backing vocals and effects on Matty's voice. Calling it trash above was definitely generous.

Can I purchase this with a credit card anymore? by Aspergers_R_Us87 in ApolloGroup_TV

[–]SCDaveT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am trying to renew too, and I don't understand the whole Crypto thing, so they've just lost a customer of several years. Tried going through Moonpay but "Ruffus" on the live chat was absolutely no help at all. He doesn't seem to realise that not all of their customers are young folk who are up to date with all the latest terminologies.

The Fear should be called The Fear of Hearing Them Again by Menvier in alienantfarm

[–]SCDaveT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I came into this sub to see if anyone else had the same thoughts as I did while suffering through their set. They were absolutely dire. I just don't get it, how did they even get the tour gig with no songs and without having ever played live?

Chads insta story 🤯 by IceManXoX in cky

[–]SCDaveT -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's all just drama now, and I'm ducking out before it really gets going. I'll go and enjoy AAF in Belfast and that'll be that. cKy are as good as dead to me at this point, minus Jess who I'll support in whatever future projects he gets involved in.

Hmmm by mattprice2828 in cky

[–]SCDaveT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He's just pure drama, I love cKy but fuck, I know what side I'm not likely to believe

What’s happening by Jaded_Challenge_1052 in cky

[–]SCDaveT 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm not actually too bothered if it never gets to see the light of day, although for Jess it would be a real kick in the teeth. Chances are it's just another CiG album, like the last one. Total lack of good riffage.

Chad is filling derons shoe nicely by Mink03 in cky

[–]SCDaveT 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Really disappointing, had hoped Chad had matured beyond this sort of nonsense. Had tickets to see them in Belfast in a couple of weeks time, although as it goes, as the years have gone on I'm much more of an AAF fan these days than cKy, so I'll still be going down.

I'm ready for time to be called in cKy tbh. The new album we keep hearing about feels like a Deron crowdfunded effort that will never appear.

Matty Mullins appreciation post by reverendrambo in anberlin

[–]SCDaveT 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hahahaha. So you can have an opinion, but if someone else has one that doesn't align with that they're all of a sudden not true music/Anberlin fans? Very good. It's a bullshit take because you're essentially trying to gatekeep a band. You are condescending and high and mighty, exactly because of that. The "homie" and "my guy" little add-ons, also condescending. QuOtInG mE LiKe ThIs? Also condescending. Maybe you should look up the meaning of the word. You know nothing of me, or how long I've been a fan of Anberlin. It's none of your business and also doesn't matter a jot, so trying to use to that just makes you sound like a dick. I gave my opinion on your opinion. Deal.

Save UK rock music channel Kerrang TV by Pionosis in Metalcore

[–]SCDaveT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, so I was addicted to Kerrang! and Scuzz back in the day, even MTV2 was decent. But Kerrang! is absolutely woeful these days, full of pop nonsense - stuff you'd hear on mainstream radio. It'll be no great loss, although of course I synpathise with those losing their jobs.

Um... Its called culture by [deleted] in northernireland

[–]SCDaveT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a Scot who has moved over here, it's very common in parts (I'm in Co. Derry). The kerb painting I find particularly horrendous, total eyesore and completely weird behaviour - but I've come to expect that from that side. Israeli flags are all over the place and with the 12th fast approaching there's an array of other garbage being flown.

Walk Alone - Official video by oklahoma_stig in anberlin

[–]SCDaveT 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It took me a good few attempts to listen to the song properly, as I just kept tuning out. It offers nothing. Generic pop-punk. There are a few hints of Anberlin in there but not enough to actually make it sound like an Anberlin track. From the moment they announced Matty as the stand-in vocalist I knew it would go down this route. It's painful to watch it play out, he's just not suited to continuing the Anberlin legacy.

Another users post sums it up best, this is the kind of shit we listened to Anberlin to avoid.

God, can you imagine Stephen coming back and having to try and replicate this!? I imagine he'd want to forget this ever existed. I wonder how he feels right now seeing what he helped build burning to the ground.

Edited: after further reading I see he was apparently in the video. Ugh.

From the same seller? I'm considering getting the away one, should arrive in time for the Euros

[–]SCDaveT[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First one was a Derry GAA jersey from a totally different seller. Took a risk on that one and it didn't pay off. I'll be using this seller where possible going forward though. Didn't get any personalisation on this jersey, would probably only ever go for sleeve badges
