    Out of curiosity what do you base that on?  I always think he looks in good nick.  Curious to know what I'm not seeing that's different this time.  For what it's worth whether or not he's shot or not I think Catterall may just have his number anyway as his technical, spoiling style is all wrong for Josh.  Hope I'm wrong.

    Think against Lopez, the lack of running and sparring soon caught up with him. He has been in peak condition for a good while now and seems to have been sparring for fun for months and 170ish rounds in camp for the fight. His op got rid of his double vision too so that can only help. 
     

    He hasn’t been able to make adjustments during the last two fights and I think that’s partly from the lack of conditioning and the inability to think straight that brings.

    Definitely holes in Catterall though. He really loads up on his shots and the elbows come out. The way he finished the Thai lad could be the way to go. Looks a bit weight drained too.

    Be interested to see if the rematch actually happens in October, mainly with both Fury and Usyk running the risk of beheadings after publicly thanking Jesus 647 times between them in the middle of a Saudi ring.

    The executioner going home with all the belts.

    Maybe not the right thread now but up until a month or so ago I'd have said all hip hop/rap. I'd have said I cannot get past the misogyny and glorification of violence and such. 

    And lo, since Xmas, I've been listening to NWA and see it in a whole different light; the music and sampling, the conviction in the delivery lamenting the social zeitgeist...just a shame a lot of the content is horrific. I'm now listening to early Nas and can't believe I've found this music at my age as I'd basically conceded I was never going to find anything else that absorbs me and takes me somewhere else. 

    This was on Sky Atlantic but maybe now on Netflix. Has lots of good stuff on how NWA came about.

    Bought Straight Outta Compton on vinyl when it came out ( I was about 10 or 11) and still remember the goosebumps within the first 15 seconds 

     

    Back on track.. ska, two tone, British punk. Never really done it for me.

  4. First time we had a minute’s applause was in the 4th minute of a game against Airdrie many years back. It was to remember Norrie McCathie. They duly scored (in front of the Norrie McCathie stand) and their players rightly enjoyed their goal as Pars fans sheepishly looked around for the protocol. 
     

    What @DumbartonBuddescribes sounds ideal.

    Banksy, Alloy and Jihad were registered as Scottish baby names last year. 

    I can't help but think Jihad Palestine McNeill Francis Walfrid O'Malley would be a very Green Brigade name.

    One kid was called Oakley. Obviously the parents have never been to Oakley. Unless said child was conceived in the bus shelter next to Oakley Juniors. 

    Oakley waged a permanent jihad on The Toon when I was a lad.

    I've never seen that.

    Might watch later.

    Love it for spotting all the faces. Yer man from Casualty. Brick Top from Snatch. Piers Brosnan. Cracking theme tune too. Very menacing.
