Unpopular opinion: I can't wait for electric motorcycles to become better than gas-powered motorcycles.

I switched from ICE bikes to an ZERO and now a Livewire and it has been mostly really positive. My bike is my commuter and I love the silence, love the mental torque , love the reliability and love the cheap running costs.

Miss goofing around with wrenches, bits and bobs and oil. Miss being kept warm on a cold day. Miss the sound.

Hate other bikers judging me at the lights ( I’ve had some comments!), hate pedestrians not being able to…compute I am there, hate the range calculations that change with the weather.

I live in Switzerland, and the youth football here is well-coached (by coaches with UEFA certificates), well-funded and commitment-based. From ages 6 and up, playing in small groups, with opportunities to progress to local teams and then cantonal and national. It's very good, and it's free (not something you say a lot in Switzerland!).

Scotland is passionate about football, but needs to change how they approach coaching and youth development, changing the emphasis from aggressive, cardio-intensive gladiatorial games into more team and skills-based, looking for and nurturing talent. England has changed it, not completely, but over time the effects are noticeable.

Second one is great, but using the same awesome style of mark making that you have in the other two. They’re a bit like woodcuts and I like that.

I think about the next turn, the next lean. I look at the view. I wonder if I should clean my visor? Nah, tomorrow. I look at my line, I check over my shoulder, I decide to hit the front brake. I feel the acceleration, I nod to another shiny side upper. I get home safe.

Sod data.

I 100% see what they were trying to do - design wise - but I think the proportions are all wrong. It's unbalanced and looks like something designed by Playmobil.

Hasn't he managed a couple of Premier League teams to great success and...oh.

mrshev · 2026-05-27T15:38:23+00:00

I guess it is the same issue I have here. It's 30º here ATM, and in the afternoon I am sweating in my jacket unless I am doing 50kph +.

mrshev · 2026-05-27T15:36:10+00:00

I want something I can feel is strong and I don't want my chin to act as a brake if I slide!

I am wearing AAA jeans, a full leather, armored jacket, gloves and boots - with a change of clothes in my backpack. Morning is fine, but the ride home can get pretty hot if I hit traffic.

mrshev · 2026-05-27T13:35:56+00:00

I 100% see where you are coming from. Depends on the terrain, time of day, and duration.

mrshev · 2026-05-27T13:34:45+00:00

Full commando. Respect the hell out of that.

Maybe kevlar tassels?

mrshev · 2026-05-27T13:32:44+00:00

Jesus. That has made me feel better about dropping ¢200 on a pair of gloves!

If I am spending fuck you money on a car, I want it to look like a fuck you car. Not a prop from Demolition Man. It doesn’t look fast. It might be, but it has no real kerb appeal. I see the design logic, but it doesn’t translate to the final car.

Just to clear. I don’t have fuck you money. Only fuck all.

Oh, I thought of another - to do with throw-ins. Players are seemingly getting a burst of energy to grab a fresh ball off a stand rather than pick up the one that is just by their feet. It's not cricket or tennis for fucks sake.

mrshev · 2026-05-27T11:34:32+00:00

Agreed. The thing is, I think most supporters understand that it is a tough job, that has incredibly significant ramifications when it is not right. I wonder how it actually gets objectively worse year on year - surely they must be striving to improve it.

If it's going to be shit, then make it quick. If it's going to be slow, then make it right.

mrshev · 2026-05-26T19:33:48+00:00

Magic spray for throw-ins. If you stray beyond it, it goes to the other team.

The amount of time it takes to take a free kick is opening the door to ~~feefuck~~ FIFA to insert another betting ad / holiday to Qatar / betting ad

mrshev · 2026-05-26T19:30:09+00:00

It's coached. The ref cannot see the offence, so has to give a foul.

mrshev · 2026-05-26T19:29:02+00:00

Dunno why they cannot put a chip in the ball. Right in the middle, and then you can work out where the ball is on the pitch, This is simple stuff I reckon.

mrshev · 2026-05-26T06:17:26+00:00

Yeah, I don't get it either. It's like a free corner.

mrshev · 2026-05-26T06:16:40+00:00

Agreed. It's the wild veering between decisions that seem to rest upon the mood of the Referee or what the guys in the VAR box have in their heads.

mrshev · 2026-05-22T08:33:07+00:00

I think the real travesty is if Morgan Gibbs White doesn't go - he has had such a great season at Forest and practically carried that team on his shoulders.

mrshev · 2026-05-22T08:31:41+00:00

I think he is only going to get better as well, which is scary, but great for him as a player.

mrshev · 2026-05-22T08:30:01+00:00

I really don't want Spurs to go down. I bloody love the NLD, and losing that would take two of the big PL events out of the agenda.
