  1. Neil Lennon apparently taking over at Aberdeen. I can only imagine the whimper of despair from his wife at the prospect of him being around the house all day again. Given the stage of the season she might have to put up with Colin all the way through to October when clubs start getting the sackings in.
  2. Defense v attack for the most part. Keep it up and we'll grind one in in the end. Let up and we're a brain fart away from losing a game we really shouldn't lose based on the first half.
  3. Marko has ruined more careers than he's created but he doesn't care because he got Seb then Max out of it. It's just the needless horridness along the way that marks him out, F1 is ruthless and always has been but Marko goes out of way to throw shade at drivers he's already sacked or throwing them under the bus whilst they're still his driver..... Sainz, Gasly, Albion and arguably Danny Ric (til he went to McLaren) all thrived after leaving the red bull outfit.
  4. It's always had a sprinkling of utterly appalling people (they always called them characters) and piranha club vibes, but it used to balance that out with a lot of classy people around and always had that "nerds and heros working in harmony" thing, now it feels more like "assholes assemble"
  5. Yass yass go on Max, flounce out in a tizzy and sign for Toto (there;s nothing a hundred men or more could ever do.....). Actually, no, I'd love to see Max sign with Aston Martin and the fun experience of being given no2 status regardless of how much better he is than baby stroll, there could be a whole Jos v daddy stroll drama...it'd be hilarious.
  6. I'm puzzled by just how off it Lewis is compared to Russell, apparently he's still not happy with the balance at the rear (although, it could "racing driver's excuses") - If this is how he's approaching the season, it pretty much confirms the Ferrari move was all about the dolla dolla bill y'all. I'm hoping red bull at least combust as a team even if their car is light years ahead if they all fall out with each other and at least have a miserable time doing it, it'll be something. Nice to see AM and McLaren looking good at this track, has the look of yet another "well behind Max t was quite good" race. I still have my issues with the jeddah track (better after the moved, and, yes, I have plenty of issues with Saudi...) but it has provided some good races. Perhaps a disgruntled red bull employee could give Max a gearbox that's actually buggered to deal with. "the downshifts are unacceptable. really bad" accompanied by losing a second a lap, not purple sectors would be manna from heaven.
  7. Qualifying: Well done Oli Bearman, P11 and knows the car had more in it, but did not disgrace himself ay all given circumstances. You know who 3 tenths clear. Then Leclerc, Perez, Alonso, Piastri, Lando, George, Lewis, Tsunoda, Stroll. Albon P12 is my lower order shoutout. Race is 5PM tomorrow.
  8. Pitch for "Paul Warne - the video game" Side scrolling beat em up where Paul warne does keepy uppy whilst he kicks baddies. Power ups are bobble hats. Done in a 16 bit sprite style Audio features crowd chants that get more or less positive depending on his health. The baddies are in the kits of each levels club, final boss is an EFL suit. When he dies the game gives a round of "your football is poo"
  9. Get well soon Carlos. Very exciting to see young Oil Bearman get a shot, I a good car as well.
  10. Bristol rovers 1-3 Derby Gayle frgs "We did well today and I'm proud of the lads. We have some big games coming up and it's great to see the group approach things in the right way."
  11. No I don't think so - we just didn't earn anything from a shirt sponsor last season,I doubt that counts as a donation in tax terms. I think I've I remember we did that because we only got taking the piss offers to sponsor the shirt and the commercial decision was taken that it'd be better to have a big charity on there for nothing than accepting very lowball offers, making the sponsorship more valuable in future seasons.
  12. Much as we hate on Quantuma (rightly so on many issues) they did take the job on and did ultimately manage to get Clowes in (I credit Clowes not Quantuma on that though) - Derby County is still a club and that was far from certain for a long time. It's not that I don't think others couldn't have done better so much as I think the better options didn't want this job because of the state of it, both the amounts owing and the tangled web of Mel Morris "arrangements".
  13. I think Warne has struggled a bit with the demanding nature of some of our fans, I honestly could see him walking because he gives off something of a "needs to be loved" vibe and I don't think we're ever going to love him, even if we do go up. I also think of we do go up with Warne, being underdogs in the champions (which we likely will be when we first go up) would be actually good for Warne's strengths but again probably unsatisfactory to some parts of our fanbase. As a club and as fans I think in general we value certain things in our side more than others, technical ability and attractive play over efficiency and work ethic (sweeping generalisation), but, I also think we get bad cases of the grass is greener whoever the management are.
  14. I think Toto is a tightly whites guy, Fred a silk boxers guy and Horny Horner is a revealing slip kind of guy.
  15. Smells like yet another episode of "dare to report the boss and he'll ruin you" HR managment, which tops off "took my complaint to HR and next thing it's over the newspapers and being used for business politics" and "now i'm expected to pass examination by a top barraster to have my complaint taken seriously" It's the *probably* genuine complaint being taken to play politics and being leaked aspect that angers me about this. I don't think anyone is remotly convinced and the entire episode has been handled appalingly. There'll also no doubt be the toxic-masculinity crowd crowing about "she made up things to ruin his life because evil wimmuns" which is not really the best way for motorsport to get over it's "toxic car guy" lingering perception.
  16. Bernie famously sold something that wasn't even his to sell (when he more or less invented licensing F1 broadcast rights) and as much as there is to dislike about him,he understood what he was selling (he probably failed to really understand the internet media age) but it seems liberty media are hell bent on making F1 be what they want to sell. I'd swap sprint races and a cluttered calendar of nothing tracks for open entry to teams and a 16-18 round calendar. The schedule is ridiculous now compared to even 10 years ago and I don't really think more is automatically better. F1 was always able to finish off teams that didn't belong without the need for spurious gatekeeping.
  17. Does the pope s*** in the woods? Is a bear a Catholic?
  18. It's another Saturday race this weekend, so free practice tomorrow, qualifying at 5PM on Friday and Race 5PM on Saturday.
  19. So are we sending Warne to a gulag in Siberia or has he been restored and the public subscription is running to build the bronze statue of him tending the wounds of Elliot Embleton?
  20. I can forgive everything that season, it was the one after i hated.
  21. Given the pop up drain covers, it probably shouldn't have been, but then on the hand I had my issues with the Jeddah circuit's safety but the certified that with no issues.
  22. All that matters is 3 points. It's a shame, as rovers are the one team in Bristol worthy of note and the dedication to annoying Bristol city is to be admired, but, we gotta keep winning if we want to get back to the mediocre time. Also, I just love rants in west country accents "oil knock your block off love"
  23. So "what Christian did" plots thicken, planet F1 reporting there's an exit clause in Max's contract that if helmet Marko goes, Max can leave. It does seem Horny Horner and helmet Marko have been at odds for a while (some of it being Checo was Horner's choice and Nyck de Vries was Marko's that they did not agree on). It seems like this story is going to keep harassing the season despite Horny Horner saying he wants it to stop. Oh in other news, FIA president Mr popular intervened to get Alonso's penalty overturned in Saudi last year (giving him P3 back after the penalty promoted Russell to 3rd).....
