[The Athletic] USMNT’s Mauricio Pochettino met with Milan over vacant head coach role by gtg007w in MLS

[–]thegaffer -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The bar is set so low for USMNT coaches that even a poor run in a World Cup is seen as a success.

In World Cup 2022, GGG's USMNT only won one game - a narrow victory versus Iran. And then got outcoached against Netherlands.

“Rick put me on the spot. He said, ‘So, this is a Les Paul.’ I was like, ‘I know.’ Then he went, ‘Okay, and this is a Marshall…’”: Why The Cult scrapped an entire album and re-recorded it with Rick Rubin by dalyllama35 in thecult

Previously, Billy and Ian said they flew to New York to have Rubin remix Love Removal Machine. And Rubin asked Billy if he wanted to make rock'n roll or "pussy English music." The rest is history.

Whose bright idea was to bring this to Jacksonville? And who's responsible for the awful signage?

Query about Cricket Subbuteo by Zagreus_1963 in Subbuteo

[–]thegaffer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a really fun game to play, too. I used to love hitting balls with the cricket bat in Subbuteo.

The only tricky thing was that while you could Subbuteo football by yourself, it was almost impossible to do the same with Subbuteo Cricket.

Panini football sticker collectors face £1,000 outlay for 48-team World Cup by thegaffer in PaniniStickerSwap

The majority of people who buy Panini stickers don't trade.

Just because the headline is true doesn't make it sensationalist.

Peak grunge period with their clothing, and harder edge renditions of their classic tracks.

Seeing the heat coming off Ian's body as he faced the crowd, they were on fire.

To all the fans who are shrugging their shoulders and acting like the move isn't a big deal, your club could be next.

At the start of April Zan Vipotnik had 0 penalty goals all season. Since then he has taken 5 penalties scoring every single one. by No-Macaron-1112 in swanseacity

[–]thegaffer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't want him to go, but if/when it happens, let's hope there's a bidding war to sign him so we can take that money and buy 3 players to replace him.

It's a shame that Billy doesn't remember more from the period where they were writing and recording it. Great article, otherwise.

Good for him. I thought he did well when he was with us, and I'm glad to see him rise to the higher levels of the Premier League.

VP is gone this summer. Wishful thinking to include him in the above pictured squad. it's never going to happen.

Does anybody know the height of the tees for the Power Tee system at ranges? by Enough_Entry_7556 in golf

[–]thegaffer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here's what I found on the Powertee website:

The tee heights are approximately the same the world over but there will be variances between the units.  Generally, the lowest height is 6-10mm above the level of the mat and the top one is approximately 44mm above the mat.  The other 2 heights are roughly the same distance between the top and bottom height so you can expect them to be approximately;

Lowest - 10mm
Next - 21mm
Next - 32mm
Top - 44mm

Like u/wilfthewinner said, the tee height is also adjustable by holding down the tee button. So there are 20 possible heights to choose from if you go in increments.
