  1. I only caught about 5 minutes of this whilst driving earlier.

    After Celtic win in the fashion they did, Bonner and I think it was Alan Preston were literally shouting at Lianne Crighton for daring to suggest that the winner came as a result of poor defending and NOT because St Johnstone celebrated their goal too much.

    It was awkward and uncomfortable and verging on bullying.

    Utter shitebags.

  2. That opening segment of Dynamite was comfortably one of the worst I’ve seen in the last 20 years.

    Just fucking dreadful.

    Everything Jericho has touched for the last 2 years has been fucking woeful and nobody will tell him that.

    I see Steve Clarke was at the game yesterday. Declan Gallagher can't be far off a Scotland recall.

    If absoulte shite like Porteous can get in the squad, then Gallagher must be knocking at the door.

    Big Dec back in to the national squad

    Given his current form, and predictable injuries in the national team, this was inevitable.

  4. That'll be Carapaz, Yates, van Baarle and Porte all out the door for Ineos. I think Amador is following Carapaz at EF as well?

    In terms of GC, who does that leave them? Thomas is finished as a GT winner - he's just competing for podiums. Geohagan Hart is not a GT contender for me - his Giro victory in one of the most fortune GT wins I can recall. It remains to be seen how Bernal recovers from his catastrophic crash - I wouldn't be holding too much hope if his injury list is correct. Martinez is not a serious GT contender. Rodriguez is an interesting prospect and as such is one more for the future than the here and now. 

    Is Ineos done as a serious GT contender in general? In Pidcock and Hayter, I see them more as a GT stage chasing team now.

  5. I tuned in at half 2 on a Saturday to hear the line ups around the grounds ahead of kick off. I was met with an empty-headed dumbfuck chat between Neil McCann and Tom English about which Rangers players would get in to an "Old Firm select". They were debating it in all seriousness and getting faIrly worked up over it.

    Yes, just mere minutes until 4 top flight matches, a full fixture list in the Championship, L1 and L2 as well as Scottish Cup fixtures, and these morons are sitting debating about which millionaire footballers will get into a fictional squad of fellow millionaire footballers.

    They then rattled through the Rangers line up, debated Rangers' squad depth and tranfer policy in the summer. 2.45pm and I still had no clue what the Dundee Utd line-up was, or any of the others across the top flight.

    It's unlistenable. I can manage maybe 10 minutes,. maximum before I'm reaching for the dial to switch to Superscoreboard.

    Radio Scotland was a laughing stock for the dinosaurs and/or fucking idiots it's employed over the years, but this season has gone to a new level.

    As I said in the summer, they had the perfect chance to chuck cash at Gordon Duncan, give him carte blanche to completely overhaul the show with fresh blood and get rid of the old boys network that has held the show back for so long.

    The BBC absolutely fucked it in the summer.

    I honestly can't see Roglic winnng another GT. Too many of the next generation pushing through & onward.

    His time has past IMO & will go down in history alongside the likes of Rominger, with a similar Palmares.

    I agree. Which is a shame, because he should 100% have a Tour de France title on his palmares. That 2020 Tour will haunt him I feel. He was in total control of the race and the absolute beast of a time trial was completely unpredicatable.

    As for him crashing out of thr Vuelta, at the time it happened I immediately thought it was just a racing incident. If anything I'd it more down to a momentary lapse in concentration from Roglic. I don't see anything Fred Wright did at all wrong.

    The statement from Roglic/Jumbo is a nonsense and totally uncalled for.

    As for Fred Wright, he has been in outstanding form all season long. He can't be far off that first big breakthrough win. He must be worth an outside punt for the Worlds? He and Ethan Hayter will co-captian GB.

  7. That was brutal crashes for Jay Vine and Carlos Rodriguez.

    Anyway, Evenepoel has won the Vuelta. Congrats to him, I genuinely didn't think he'd have what it takes to win a GT. Granted he had a mid-race wobble, he has been comfortably the best rider. It's a shame Roglic crashed out. Things were shaping up to be a brilliant finish to the race until he abandoned.
