GB SPORTS

Playing football, pubs, concerts, Euro championships, bbqs, summer... Nothing is bursting my bubble today! 

People who give an opinion then say
'End of' or 'Enough said'  
Almost without exception when you see this, the comment that proceeds it, is horseshit of the highest order.
 

Good luck to the guy - but it's also just as likely he'll sink into football obscurity. Equally I think Wayne played a master stroke by bringing him into the first team and putting him in the shop window. It was clear he wasn't going to sign his contract - which had been on the table for several weeks, so he went to the highest bidder. As I said good luck to him, but the grass isn't always greener elsewhere is it....

That may be a bit of a set back, landing control on seems a bit difficult to achieve.
Do you know when SN10 will be kitted and ready to go?
If that doesn't work as well i can see them needing a format  for a conventional wheeled landing.
 
What they are trying to do is immense though, straight outta a Sci Fi movie.

SN10 is on the launchpad but needs engines installing. It will be ready for launch within a fortnight unless they decide to make modifications. 
It seemed one of the engines broke apart on restart. But why was that? Was it just faulty, or are the stresses of the flip manoeuvre too high? 
There's not the slightest chance of a wheeled landing. This has got to nail it on Mars without runways so comes in vertically. Several years ago I did suggest the same to their Head of Rocket landing and he told me no chance, because Mars is the only thing that matters to them. But he nailed it for Falcon9 and I'm sure will for Starship.

I was thinking more of what happened to Phillip Hughes, you would expect someone to check he was ok before giving him some verbal. 
Pujara got hit with the ball quite a few times in that innings, I watched from 25th over to the 40th, and in that time he was hit about 6-7 times, including once in the head then. So to take 2 to the head and get that, after everything that has happened... 

I hope you mean my dad and not me for your sake , it would be a tragedy if you didn't get chance to see a Derby game from the basement 

I wouldn't go around telling many people that story ?

No but he is still going and talks about the rams every time I speak to him he’s 85 now and looking forward to being 86 in April 

Is this not exactly what we are currently doing? Today we had 3 academy players starting with another 6 on the bench - how much more can we do to show to young players we have a clear route to our first team?

I know a better game - lets ask a 16 year old without an agent in his ear thinking about his/her commission when the deal gets done.
IMO, anybody still at school should never have a decision made by money and a decision should be solely based on the development of that child. Even his mum said yesterday he was being paid 4x what Derby offered. This lads decision isn't based on football matters, only financial gain. 
When Kaide walked into Moor Farm when he was 6/7/8 whatever age he came through, Derby was the right move for him. Why isn't it now? Money, money, money. And again, his mum said last night, look at the training facilities of Liverpool compared to Derby. So disrespectful to say that because those facilities have got him to where he is now during the last 10 years. 
Enjoy the limelight for the next few months/years and hopefully you've made the right decision for your son. 

A lodge, yer say?
 
 

 ? ?

That's not what Muckerette said, I'm sure.

Half of you lot would argue with your own shadow. 

Scored 4 in that game, wasn't the quickest, interesting to note that no one else in that apprentice side played a league game other than him.

Someone is badly advising this lad it seems. I for one say let him go, if he doesn't want to be here, then I don't want him. What will probably happen is that he will go to Liverpool, get next to no opportunities due to all the talent ahead of him, and his development will stagnate. He has realistically way more of a chance at future first team football here, if he can't see that then either him, or his advisors are not very bright.
If what has been stated is true and we have offered him a deal and he has refused to sign because Liverpool have come sniffing around, I for one will not loose any sleep over it.

People who don't know how to drive in normal conditions driving in snow. 

I used to live in a village called Pensford, just outside of Bristol. 
The pub was the Traveller's Rest and Ray was the landlord. 
His son told us that one early summer's evening a delightful foursome happened upon the pub and wandered in. 
The chaps ordered two pints of lager for themselves and two half pints of the same lager for their good ladies. 
They were the only people in the pub. They chatted gaily for twenty minutes or so then returned to the bar and said 'same again please.'
He stared at them and said 'What do you think I am, a f+++ing mindreader?' 
Ah, the ambience! 

That's a side effect of one of my pet hates; the British media's obsession with the USA. I think it was Bill Bryson who said that you'd think that the US was roughly where France was given the coverage it gets in this country. Other countries aren't like that. It's particularly noticeable during hurricane season. Every year we get breathless coverage of business owners boarding up windows in Florida or Louisiana because a storm's on its way. Why is that news here!? It's thousands of miles away, it happens every year, and the advancing storm has usually already flattened half of the Caribbean.
Rant over.
