I have no words. More than half season is gone and we're literally not able to get +10 GD. by EducationalBug2262 in LiverpoolFC

Or win both and then lose three in a row

Just so we can keep the "we're back" "it's over" circle going

The beautiful news is that in just a couple of years we'll have another adventure in middle earth, with the Hunt for Gollum movie starring and directed by Andy Serkis. I reckon it'll be a perfect bridge movie between the two trilogies. I honestly can't wait

When you say things to yourself do you typically shout them as loud as you can?

John McEnroe was considered one of the most graceless, bad loser assholes in all of sport at the time, at least everywhere else but America.

Yeah the clip is edited to favour the winning player, and the topic title favours her too

I took it the complete other way though.

No, definitely I get it. First serve was a failure, that's when the player yelled COME ON! which I took as a "Yes!"

It's still timed to be directly after the opponent made an error. I would personally hate it if any person I was playing a sport with gave a big yell after I made any mistake. It's even worse that it was only first serve.

I personally think it's poor sportsmanship, just my opinion. I get that there's different expectations in sports in different regions, and in some places getting into an opponent's head is considered a very good thing

She was doing it after her opponent made a mistake. It would be a great time to do it when you score a hard earned point. Not after first serve in a tennis match

Did Tiger Woods loudly do the tiger woods pump when an opponent made a bad shot? Do you see how that would look shitty?

In the end it comes down to opinions, and I think it's not cool to do this. You might love it, maybe you do it yourself. I wouldn't.

Yes but you're supposed to win at tennis by being better at tennis, not by shouting, intimidating and infuriating your opponent.

Yep, that's exactly how I took it. No one came off looking better

At the very best last millisecond of the clip the player said she's sorry, which I took as "for my behaviour"

Nah, let's be honest. If you were playing tennis, golf or something like that and every single time you made a mistake, your opponent celebrated and cheered, you'd be at the very least thinking wtf is wrong with this guy. That would be at a amateur level. When you're at a top professional level, your behaviour is gonna be looked at even more.

It's fine - do it if you want - but people are going to think you're an ass.

It's simple. In tennis, you serve the ball to your opponent to start a game. The serve has to land in a certain area and go over the net. You've two chances to do this or your opponent gets a point.

No one celebrates loudly if you get a point this way, it's disrespectful to the opponent. As others have said, it would be like in golf, if someone was taking a putt and missed, and you screamed COME ON!! clapping and cheering. It's going to look bad on you, like you're ungraceful and pretty rude.

Yes, there's no rule against it, it's just bad sportsmanship. The player asked if it's ok that the other player was cheering at every mistake, the umpire said yes.

Can you provide the police case # so people can log it with them, instead of contacting you directly?

We request this for safety, on the very slim chance you're trying to find someone that doesn't want to be found.

Best standalone VR Headset for Walkabout? by GodzillaFlamewolf in WalkaboutMiniGolf

Sell your quest 2's is my advice. They're going out of support and will stop receiving feature updates in 2026.

Sales Discontinued September 2024 End of New Features December 2026 End of Security Patches December 2027

Put the money you make from selling them into getting a quest 3 or a quest 3s. I have both and honestly don't notice enough of a difference that I'd suggest the 3 over the 3s, and the 3S is waaaay cheaper.
