I see Kyren Wilson and Anthony McGill have started using the pool gloves to combat sticky conditions. McGill has gone even further and was apparently using a carbon fiber cue against Jimmy White. Not sure about the cues but I am surprised it's taken this long for the gloves to catch on. Use one myself, hugely better feeling cueing.

Deciding if the saltiness of a supermarket malt is from Japanese nori or Korean salted kim seaweed is another fantastic pretense.

Oh most tasting notes are complete bollocks. Never ending of cycle of people who don't want to appear they know less than someone else so continually add more notes in an effort to seem knowledgeable. I used to browse the Scotch reddit when looking for info on what to try/buy when I was getting into whisky, but chucked it for the amount of complete w**k I'd read. I just went and had a look at it there to see what folk are monologuing about these days. 10 points for guessing which (pretty common) malt this is for:

Goalkeepers seem to get injured every other game which will definitely be a bug, have seen others complain about this too. The old game engine throwing up more shots hitting the woodwork than goals needs sorting as well, games where both teams hit the post/bar 5 or more times each? Come on man that's not how football works. Media handling and players falling out with you over praise seem completely random too. I haven't played a new version of this for 10 years now but I'm sure improvements are on the way.

Shite that. The precedent set 2 weeks ago is that it doesn't matter if away fans or even players can make it, so long as the home team are happy.

Not familiar with this fetish but best wishes.

Oh aye mind that?

Friendly against world champs it may be but Cooper was still chronic there. Hopefully back to being 17th choice after injuries.

Cooper, so foolish.

Long haul flight with a newborn in the row behind.

Not sure why Kelly was so slow to prevent the corner. Looked like he had plenty of time.

Haaaahahahahahaha

Kid me would be well chuffed as I have finally gotten my first racing wheel and pedal kit. Adult me is fucking buzzing as well. The force feedback is mental, much more powerful than I expected.

The fact we're even still arguing about why the goal might have been disallowed never mind if it was correct or not is absolutely shameful. The referee was hugely incompetent all night, and in his haste to find fault with the goal he's forgotten to even get his story straight. Dodgy as f**k, and certain anoraks on this thread posting 400 times somehow more sure of what the ref's given than the ref is, just trying too hard.

Fucking disgraceful. Absolutely disgraceful.

Diving little c**t.

It's as cheap as that bottle is going to get anyway.

The timing here of Braverman "When the left gets the upper hand, those who fail to conform are persecuted" - meanwhile the tamest dissenter is papped by the police. What a country. One for the Normal Island thread.

There's something deeply unsettling and fashy about a muttered disagreement leading to the plod physically restraining and removing that man, while that Nazi boot delivers her evil mantra in the background. Braverman is the worst of a party full of complete c***s.

I see Napoli have deleted some outrageously racist tik tok or instagram videos they posted about Osimhen (one calling him a coconut). I don't see that they've addressed the videos in any way to apologise to the player or say they've binned the media team or whatever. Shame the fans in Italy are still so unashamedly racist.

On the Talisker week, I've had a slow evening so decided to see which deals were actually any good. Picks for me: Oban and Lagavulin distillers editions seem a decent price drop (in 2023 prices) Clynelish a bit under the usual Talisker Port Ruighe is the clear winner at £45, it's not really appeared any lower than that in the last year. Can't remember if I've tried it so might go for that.

'Talisker week' on Amazon, looks like a few reasonable deals there for those interested. Edit to add there's a lot of Talisker there but there's also loads of other coastal malts.

I just assumed Inverness were offering a significantly higher salary for their manager than Morton, who survive off a break even budget and so run a tighter ship. Even we seem to be just about floating along thanks to lucrative cup draws. The financial outlook at this level is bleak if all these clubs stay full time IMO.

Hahahahahaha bye George!
