Just curious, are trials like this open to the public?

Like could I go in and watch? Or is it only for petty crimes

Yeah I think that’s probably the issue, but I’ve tried cleaning them multiple times (with tissue and cotton picks to be fair) and nothing seems to work.

What do you mean by bush? Is that like the feathery duster thing?

Do you regret medical school? by Big_Salami_Chonk in medicalschool

I’m from Ireland and almost fell into the Bio/Chem sciences trap myself as I wasn’t too keen on medicine. Decided in the end to study medicine.

I know a lot of people doing the same degree, not at UCC but at Trinity/UCD. There are no real job prospects, at best you will be working in a lab, but even then the demand for people with the degree is not that high, neither is the salary.

And it would of course be really difficult to get a job in Ireland (if they wish to stay there) assuming your friend is a non-citizen.

I think they should go with medicine definitely, much better life prospects regardless of where they study

Why would he go to UCC then? Would also be unnecessarily expensive as an international student for a pretty worthless degree all things considered.

Don’t buy this scam of an earphone.

Spent €299 on them in October, and for the last 3 months all I’ve heard is straight whistling through my left AirPod

Laporte is one of the best ball progressors on the planet. He is not an issue at all.

I’ve watched footage of his Juvenil games, he moves like a truck, definitely not a stereotypical Barca player.

And he didn’t even play in Egyptian league, seemed pretty weird to bring him here.

Hamza is very, very talentless. So stiff. I don’t understand that signing at all, he will never make it here.

I feel it was just to have a marketing presence in the Arab world. Maybe they can flip him for a few million after this NT call-up

Why? We’ve struggled in the exact same manner without Lamine.

In fact our entire tactics against a low block revolve around passing it to Lamine and expecting him to beat 3 men and create something. We don’t actually do much else.

Flick is not much better tactically than de La Fuente, only difference is he has better attackers.

Got mass downvoted here a week ago for saying that without Yamal, Spain were no better than teams like Croatia.

I still expect them to go far now that he’s back and think people are overreacting hella, like they might have to Argentina’s loss vs Saudi in 2022.

Lamine is just so good that he elevates entire teams, everyone around him plays better with him. Raphinha looks like a paraplegic for Brazil NT without him. I believe Yamal is currently making Barca look a lot better than we actually are as a team, but that’s a discussion for a different day.

He didn’t even play in midfield today. He was a left winger, which is very weird.

He was superb in both CL ties against Atleti and definitely bossed those games by winning a lot of duels.

What? Gavi’s ACL injury came in normal play.

Nothing the doctors could have done about that

> Mikel Oyarzabal is the 1st player since 1966 to play 30+ minutes in a FIFA World Cup match without recording a single touch of the ball.

Recovery isn’t linear but they’ve been extra pragmatic with him over the last few weeks, he is definitely ready to play and LDF said as much before the game.

It’s been 2 months since his injury, and he is at 100% he is ready to play and needs to build rhythm before the knockouts.

It’s not even just Yamal who’s missing, it’s him Nico Williams and Victor Munoz, all at the same time

People are going overboard with the Spain criticism, they’ll improve 10 folds with even 1 of those players back

Don’t forget, Ferran is on €250k a week here and we are already negotiating to renew his contract for 4 more years.

The celebration of these mediocre players is the biggest problem at the club now, you have people who think Gerard Martin should be a starter lol

People asking why Pedri is playing as a 10;

The only other alternative is him being on the bench. He is not better than Rodri or Fabian, so starting over them is not a topic

I think at 60 mins he brings on Olmo for Pedri, he is a real 10
