    BaaLocks got a reaction from MaltRam in When did this become a thing?   
    Commentators apologizing for "any bad language you may have picked up there". Either say once, at the beginning, "if there is anyone so soft of temprament that an overheard curse of frustration is going to mess with your biorhythms then we suggest the following programme may not be for you".
    Or, if you still feel the need, I want apologies for every misdemeanour that happens - when players scratch their gonads, when they are seen spitting, when they don't put the cap back on the water bottle. Let's not discriminate just because it's swearing - let's make it all good in the world.

    I really don't know - sorry. But what I can tell you about Stefan Schnoor is that he is an agent now.
    From Wikipedia: As of February 2009, he is a player agent. His agency, Kick and Rush GmbH, represents, among others, Colin Kazim-Richards, Mathias Jørgensen, Marcus Tudgay, Giles Barnes, Christopher Poulsen and Wayne Routledge.
    Looks like he might have been responsible for bringing Kaz here. Always loved the Schnoor.

    Just two episodes in, some very obvious (sometimes screamingly obvious) homage calls to Tarantino and things like Kill Bill. Agree on the other comment that she really only has one 'schtick' but if you like it go for it. There's worse out there.

    BaaLocks got a reaction from OUTSIDER in Sinead O'Connor dead age 56   
    Strong woman who was ahead of her time in many, many ways. Great voice and so beautiful. Sadly mirrors Dolores O'Riordan in too many ways.
    Society must call out suicide as cause of death - only then will we learn and recognize the factors that lead to it. Very disappointed so many have just air brushed over it as if we still live in a world where we think those who 'commit' (note, commit as in it is a sin) suicide are condemned to eternal damnation. I'm not suggesting it is always in the public interest, and has to be dealt with sensitively - tbf probably more sensitively than the British media could manage - but with Sinead it feels like it has been covered up.

    @ollycutts1982 - already addressed that I believe. Guess my thinking was that I remember him as a bit of a step down from Powell, all views are personal and all that. Same with Spencer Prior, he just had a hard act to follow (though I actually liked Prior, strangely more than many around me).
    Maybe that's the next thread - players who everyone else seemed to despise / dislike / get irritated by and you quite liked them. McGovern would be a good example of that. Couple of other examples, I quite liked Craig Fagan - he was one of the few in that team who was able to challenge an opponent and get a cross in. Same with Weimann, always thought he never got the chance he probably deserved and his tenure with Bristol City has proved that.

    The Bear (Disney+)
    Think it's my favourite TV show of the year. Second season has just come out, a great watch.
    It's about a chef who takes over his family's sandwich shop after the death of his brother.

    Kinky only made 13 less performances for Derby (80+13 on loan) than he did for Man City (103) where many would put him in the category of deity. Always thankful to him for the 3-3 draw against the Wendies when we were 3-1 down on 90 mins but I agree with the general sentiment, always looked really unfit and as the 'let's get Kinky on' chants started I couldn't help feeling is was all a bit a case of the legend not quite matching the reality.

    If anyone suggests Beck they get an instant lifetime ban from the forum though - agreed?
    My other unpopular view is that Curtis Davies wasn't that good. He couldn't pass for toffee and was glacially slow. Great guy and all that but I was nervous every time he had the ball.

    He's worth it just for the way he changed the game away at Port Vale - probably the highlight of the season and it's all thanks to him.
    NB: I do appreciate that he can aldo be pants and beyond - as someone once said about him "he can be world class and non-league in the same move". That's Dobbin.

    GK Roy Carroll in goal for me, for THAT sending off. With his gambling history? Hmmm.
    RB Mears at right full back. Climbing out of windows? Jesus.
    CH Kenny Burns, the fat, sweaty scottish knacker.
    CH Raul Albentosa. Oooh, I forgot my insoles, so I forgot how to play and I want to go home. Mardy c***.
    LB Danny Mills. Fat scavenger.
    RW Craig Fagan. Harsh this because he tried. But epitomised an era of gross incompetence.
    CM Bob Malcolm. Great start. Pissed it all up the wall. Waster.
    CM Jacob Butterfield. Decent start, lost his way, realised he was rich and couldn't be arsed to get on it any more. Shudder.
    LW Eddie Lewis. In with a shout for the most out of their depth football player ever, in a world that includes Claude Davis.
    CF Tamas Priskin. Loaned in, flounced about, flounced out. Never broke sweat.
    CF Rob Earnshaw. Overall champion.
     
    Ask me again tomorrow, I'll give you a new XI!
