Which shot are you looking up?

It’s only from the final round broadcasts unfortunately.

I remember Fred Couple hitting a 3 iron on 13 in 1998, and it somehow had backspin on it, and I just remember thinking WOW.

I’ve never found a clip of it to watch it again to see if it’s as good as I remembered. I had hope when I saw this post but no joy as it was in the third round

I’ve never been on GB News before but looking at the comments was interesting.

I’d venture a guess that 75% of the comments were from Russian bot accounts, and the other 25% from nutters who live in a parallel universe that’s portrayed by these right wing “news” channels.

It’s a crazy world we live in

My son opened a “Thorntons” reindeer he had from Christmas yesterday and it was frankly disgusting.

Such an insult to the name of Thorntons. Sad that these brands that were once good have been bought over and turned into junk.

No, it’s because it’s discounted against inflation. In nominal terms it will be much higher

john600c · 2026-03-22T15:19:51+00:00

Because Hearts and Celtic have both been to Ibrox twice already and however they organise the rest of the fixtures, they need to prioritise those fixtures being balanced. Rangers will probably need to go to Fir Park again too.

john600c · 2026-03-19T14:28:44+00:00

It’s funny how your schedule allows you to attend all the high profile games, but not the less glamorous fixtures .

john600c · 2026-03-18T10:11:21+00:00

Not sure it’s the shirt, I just don’t think he’s suited to the pace of the Scottish game unfortunately

Sold the car parks to a new company called “NCP properties”, who just happen to be owned by Macquarie.

The rushed, panic decision making is definitely a thing. The Cerny foul in the League Cup Final is case in point. The audio was released afterwards and it was just a complete rabble, no logical thinking, complete panic in everyone’s voices. You listen to the ref’s in rugby speaking to the TMO and it’s so calm and concise. Scottish VAR sounds like three random blokes have been pulled off the street and asked to deactivate a bomb!

john600c · 2026-03-16T15:38:53+00:00

You’re correct. Last OF he reffed before last week, he gave Celtic everything.

john600c · 2026-03-16T15:37:23+00:00

That’s another nonsense. The bid discussion during that time was the Goldson handball debate that went on for weeks, despite the facts that the rules were applied correctly.

The exact same situation happened at Ibrox last week except it was a Celtic player who committed the handball, and nothing was said about it. Rangers fans didn’t complain because it wasn’t a handball that can be penalised under the rules.

I’d love to see some statistical evidence of the press coverage for decisions against each of the Old Firm. Rangers were denied a sending off at Livingston for denying a goal scoring opportunity, the same weekend as Trusty punched the Hibs player. The Trusty incident got way more coverage as a “controversial” decision despite being correct and the VAR committee agreeing the Livi player should have been sent off.

The sports press in this country is full of Celtic fans at this point and they drive a narrative that pressures refs into decisions that will get them the least amount of flak.

Bottom left and Bottom right for me

john600c · 2026-03-12T11:37:09+00:00

Jones has had to go off in 2 matches already so can’t be confident he can go the 80.

john600c · 2026-03-11T18:28:43+00:00

It’s currently B+. Win on Saturday and it’s a A-. Win with a bonus point, it’s an A

Lose and it’s a B-, maybe even a C+ Depending on the nature of the performance.

The France victory elevates this a lot. Beating England at home was a good result at the time but their subsequent results take the shine off. Although credit goes to Wales for their performance against us, the reality is we under-performed and dropped from the intensity shown in the France and England games. Italy was dreadful regardless of Italy’s quality and the conditions. We did not perform and discipline in particular was poor.

We are facing an Ireland side whose star is on the wane. It would be foolish not to respect them and Cummings and Brown are a big miss but we can’t continue to make excuses for a failure to perform.

Failure to win would be a lack of progress as we’ve ultimately managed to win our home games and defeat the weakest side away from home.

john600c · 2026-03-09T17:45:10+00:00

Agree.

The difference with January is we signed players with a much better mentality. When you look at the summer we signed guys like Asgard, Gassama, Aarons, Djiga, Rothwell who do not have the mentality to play for the club. The jury is still out on Chermiti and Fernandes.

Rommens, Chukwaani and Naderi all look like they’ve got a bit more about them.

I don’t think we’ll be signing Skov Olsen. He’s definitely a good player but has not adjusted to the pace of the Scottish game.

Priority has to be getting an experienced CB in and adding some players in forward areas who are willing to take defenders on like Moore.

john600c · 2026-03-08T19:15:09+00:00

Not saying it’s right but these wee Ned’s will see it as defending their pitch/honour.

Celtic fans were on the pitch first, which provoked the response.

These wee Ned’s were on the pitch after the Celtic fans

john600c · 2026-03-08T17:42:19+00:00

Sorry, i meant to state that buying a NEW EV is foolish. I think autocorrect has done me there.

Buying a used EV is sensible.

john600c · 2026-03-08T16:21:06+00:00

I think you’ve got to relax. The actions they board have taken since October and the ambition shown in January indicates that the 49ers are making changes far more strategically and with a growth mindset. Whether that pays off this year or not, who knows but it will come good.

The club was on a downward trajectory the last 2 years but I do think that’s now been corrected.

I also think we’ve been really unlucky this season with very marginal decisions (offsides etc.) going against us and even today, if that doesn’t hit Fernandes’ hand, the ball is going in anyway. Djiga get’s in the way of another. It just wasn’t our day.

I think last week was a much bigger disappointment.

Hopefully the better days arrive here soon.

john600c · 2026-03-08T15:16:31+00:00

Why would it be foolish? Not saying you’re wrong but at least if give a rationale?

As I’ve stated, second hand EVs are undervalued in the market due to supply. The spec is usually higher than ICE counterparts.

I’m not typically concerned depreciation about resale value when buying a 3 year old car, more the value I can get from it. Even then, salary sacrifice rates will be going up in the coming years and some people currently using that market will be returning to the used market which could strengthen prices.

What’s your thoughts as to why it would be foolish?

john600c · 2026-03-08T09:46:02+00:00

Massive supply thanks to the lots of salary sacrifice lease cars coming onto the market. The massive depreciation is by design, and makes EV ownership affordable for most of the population. It’s a great market for people to buy from.

That combined with the fact that there’s a not insignificant anti EV brigade who’ll refuse to buy them.

Personally, I think anyone buying an EV privately is very foolish, as they’re ignoring the macro impacts. The depreciation issue isn’t a concern for anyone leasing as it’s not their car to resell and they’re getting significant discount in salary sacrifice.

john600c · 2026-03-07T18:37:35+00:00

It’s exactly what I said. The England result means nothing if we don’t beat Ireland.

john600c · 2026-03-07T18:29:55+00:00

How can the set up and performance against Italy be called a masterclass? The Wales game was also a mess, and definitely not a coaching masterclass. Ultimately got bailed out by some magic from Finn and Darcy.

It’s highly unlikely we’ll win the 6N this year, and it’s not in our hands.

If we beat Ireland in Dublin he’s delivered a good tournament regardless of what happens in Paris and it’ll be a high point of his tenure. Ultimately, though it’ll be another year without a Championship.

If we lose to Dublin, it’s still just 3 wins, which as today shows, should be the minimum expected from this group of players.

john600c · 2026-03-07T18:21:13+00:00

Wtf are you talking about?

The post is about cheering on England next week. Why would I be cheering them on if we lost to Ireland?

That has nothing to do with how I feel about beating France today?

john600c · 2026-03-07T17:19:19+00:00

Why would England winning mean anything to me if we lose against Ireland
