"Never seriously looked like flirting with relegation" lower mid table solid enough ish mediocrity is fine by me for the season ahead. Be nice if we can get a few good results along the way, or even a decent cup run.

I'm expecting 1 barker like fee for Adams and a couple of small fees. Similar to this season, the number is the number, less on fees can be more on wages.

Is anyone else convinced VAR was pushed for by the gambling industry far more than clubs or fans? Just a thought.

Throw it in the bin. It's a game, accept the referee's decision. Mistakes happen, live with them. Every player on your team will make a mistake......... Wrong decisions don't ruin football, whining about wrong decisions ruins football. For saying all that, it's going to be amusing watching forest vote to keep var.

Apparently Wolves are bringing a proposal to scrap VAR. Be interesting to see if Forest vote for it. I'd 100% bin VAR, but I'm resigned to never being rid of it and only hoping for it to become less bad.

The culpability of Sam Rush in the downfall of the Mel Morris project is not as appreciated as it should be. The "troubled times" that started afterwards were in no small part due to the spending rush had been advising Mel to make. NDAs relating to the Mel Morris era should be respected no matter how much we all want to know.

Moderators out of contract and not offered new terms........

I'm just all for incremental changes towards the better. I was genuinely shocked the other week when my better half pulled up photos of me from before I stopped running with my knee injury. For me, I got to where I was slowly but surely, just learning to eat a bit less, eat a bit of fruit instead of the sweeties, and doing the running that I wanted to do (the trick is making yourself want these things). Everyone is different and and what works for different people in different ways is all good as there's a will to just get yourself a little healthier than before. It took me a while of not running to realise how important it had become to me. I was never fast, I got under 30 minutes at parkrun once, but I enjoyed a few half marathons and I like long slow runs when I am fit enough to do them, to a lot of people that's probably the most boring and rubbish fitness thing you could be doing. Some movement and some better food choices. It all helps.

Well I had my Garmin ages down to 29 at my fittest but previously the highest was 47. I'm in between those two in physical existence.

Managed a small jog this evening. It ain't much but it's something. Although Mr Garmin said I had a fitness age of 51 which is quite depressing.

I take it you've been on a sightseeing tour around the meadows?

And a few others. Which bit of fife you in?

We've a few based up here on the forum, myself, @Inverurie Ram@CWC1983@f

Ireland was the best. Switzerland was good. Can't help but think the prospect of a holiday in Zurich over Zagreb influenced some jury votes. Croatia was most "Eurovision" of the good ones. My favourite for hilarity was Finland. The "crap song/more flesh" dynamic is kinda cheap. France and Portugal best singing, along with Lithuania. Kinda liked Spain and was surprised they finished so far down. I assume the public vote for Israel was a lot of canvassing and sympathy votes because I thought their song was pretty forgettable. Now, back in the campaganza box for a year.

The 3 big boys having a proper race, the good enough to be a problem guys all getting stuck in just behind. MotoGP does really need to figure out what's gone wrong with honda and Yamaha though (having already killed off Suzuki and Kawasaki were done for many years ago) - it's like KTM and Aprilia are track specific can mix it with the Ducati but honda and Yamaha need to get it sorted out.

Bring out the VAR The VAR is sleeping Well I guess you're just going to have to wake Stewart Atwell up then.....

Only if you're confident of three other teams not doing that.....

Congratulations to notts forest. They'll be many an amourous gump tonight and no doubt in 9 months time a slew of babies with "Which we cannot accept" on their birth certificate.

And someone reminded me earlier, there's also Indicar this weekend. Perhaps it's becuse i've no natural access to it but i've never paid that much attention to indicar, despite everyone saying i should.

Apologies again everyone, MotoGP is in Frace at the Le Mans short circuit this weekend as well. I had for somereason thought that was next weekend. <must stop sniffing petrol>

Arbroath's ground is literally on the shore. Must be pretty windy, but then so is Inverness's ground. Arbroath smokies are awesome. Edinburgh or Glasgow clubs would give a good weekend away (or home for me). Ayr could be another holdiay-ish Scottish visit. Annan Athletic or Queen of the South as well. But not Cowdenbeath. I don't want to go to Cowdenbeath ever. Dunfermline,fine, Kirkcaldy,fine,cowden,I'll pass

Cheers up everyone, they're not quite safe yet and I heard they are appointing Sean Dyche as VAR for the match v Burnley.

Apologies everyone, also BTCC from Brands Hatch indi.

So on this week's slate of "not F1 but involves driving round and as fast as they can" Northwest 200 bike racing all day Saturday on the BBC sport website. WEC 6 hrs of Spa endurance race Formula E Berlin IMSA at Laguna Seca WRC Portugal And probably all sorts of club racing on YouTube

Good club, Villa, oops, meant to post that in the birmingham thread...........
