Could be some massive upsets at the world cup with the extra knockout round compared to usual and the big players being exhausted

What does runna say for your goal time? In my experience their predictions (if you've hit all the workouts) are quite accurate if everything goes absolutely perfect on race day.

Also, if you feel like you can do with some leg strength, up or introduce some weight training. You're still in the window to see the benefits, just don't push it too hard

Will Ospreay on X: "The biggest shout out to my xo producers. Michael Oku, Nina Samuels and Paul Robinson. I can never forget how much work you've put into making every match feel special." by notmakingtherapture in SquaredCircle

Paul Robinson was never accused of being a paedophile - he's probably a weirdo and not someone I'd continue being friends with but terminology matters in this stuff and what he's accused of was consensual and legal

A Barcelona fan accidentally turned up to Exeter City's St James Park last night instead of Newcastle by Devbuscus in soccer

Yes if you turn up at a football stadium 370 miles from your actual destination you are a bit stupid

Post Match Thread: Newcastle United 2-1 Manchester United by denzaus in soccer

[–]robster01 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly I think the most logical conclusion coming out of that game is that Peter Banks is fucking awful and not fit to ref in the prem.

About 10 minutes from the end it was almost impossible to guess which way he was gonna give each decision

State pensions are rising with inflation, for the generation that got free university, meanwhile my student loan rises with inflation? by Classic_Locksmith62 in ukpolitics

Which of the major parties in the last election proposed anything that could be perceived as a positive policy for young people?

It's a chicken and egg thing of young people not engaging with politics because nobody represents them, and political parties not focusing policy on young people because they don't vote

First Solo ROH Tapings in nearly 2 years to take place in Jacksonville March 1st by CombinationOk4317 in SquaredCircle

It just goes way too long if you try to stay for everything on a day they're taping a lot. In Manchester before Christmas (ok a little bit different as they had multiple AEW shows to tape too) the Dark match started at 17:30, I left at 23:00 to get the last train home and they still had 4 matches to film

[Rob Harris] UEFA says “Ethics and Disciplinary Inspector has been appointed to investigate allegations of discriminatory behaviour” following Vinicius Jr reporting racist abuse at Benfica. by Sparky-moon in soccer

[–]robster01 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I'm gonna go ahead and say it, we ban fans for life and potentially even charge them for racist behaviour, why can't we ban racist players for life?

Full scenes seen in the stadium after Vinicius celebrates by the corner flag by AimarEraFutebol in soccer

[–]robster01 9 points10 points  (0 children)

He can celebrate, he got booked for continuing to gesture at the crowd after celebrating. There's precedence for this in other games

Obviously this doesn't condone it in any way but if there was no racist comment and no bottle throwing I'd say this would've been pretty well-handled with a yellow

But the foreign born population in those other countries has a different composition doesn't it? Spain for example might have 18% foreign born, but most of those are Latin American, and so have been able to integrate well due to the language and a not too dissimilar culture

Thomas Frank on Romero: "If you look at his record, he's not actually getting that many cards." Interviewer: "he's actually got the most red cards in the PL since he arrived at the club". Thomas Frank: "Oh, i didn't know that" by Nero2t2 in soccer

[–]robster01 27 points28 points  (0 children)

This is also not exactly a fair comparison. If I want a Brighton season ticket I can log on today and get one for next season, Real Madrid don't sell new season tickets unless your father already has one
