  1. He seems to be doing excellently for Chelsea reserves this season the only worry is that they have an absolutely huge youth system and almost every highly rated youngster is out on loan at the moment (they have had around 25-30 players 21 and under away), and when a lot of these youngsters come back Feruz could be shuffled backwards which is probably one of the reason why his agent was touting him for a move in December.

    The fact he is 17 and you say he is already playing in the reserves proves that he is some sort of special talent.

  2. Why? Scotland is the best country he is eligible for. He isn't getting a better offer elsewhere. It's literally Scotland or 2 African countries that never qualify for the African Nations cup.

    Scotland getting a top quality prospect seems too good to be true. Just want him capped competitively and that's it :)

  3. I live in fear of people realising the utter crap that I have on my 'workout' playlist.

    Same! Mostly because I have so many different types of music on my phone. It could be Little Mix or Olly Murs one minute or it could be Stone Roses or Linkin Park. With the latter being very motivational for me and got me through a few workouts already.

  4. I felt a bit self-conscious at first, but aye, I'm more or less the same. I keep track of my lifts in my wee notepad and so long as I can see a progression week-to-week then I'm content.

    My main gripe, and the only time I really judge, is if I see someone sitting texting away for 5 minutes at at time at a machine I'm needing, then doing a handful of reps, then going back to the phone for another 5 minutes, lather, rinse, repeat. Far and away that's my most common complaint, happens all the damn time. Perhaps it's just me but it seems like really bad etiquette.

    I sometimes take my phone out in the gym (for music, or if i am waiting on someone replying to me) but obviously wouldn't bother at a time someone was wanting to use the equipment. Should just go up and ask them how many more sets or how long will they be on that specific machine and they would be off it in no time.

  5. This is perhaps a bit of a stupid question but has anyone done adult swimming lessons? I am thinking of training for a triathlon (mentioned it in another thread) and while I can swim I'm not exactly flying through the water like Ian Thorpe. Edinburgh Council venues offer adult improvers and stroke development courses, anyone done one?

    It would probably be very helpful to you if you went along to a local swimming club. The coaches there will be able to point out your weaknesses and help you work on improving them.

  6. I'm the same buddy. Probably the last year my diet had been half decent as I was going to the gym a lot anyway. But over the last 2 weeks I'm finding myself feeling a lot better about life in general. I've not been as crabbit as I usually am either. I also find that I'm having a more settled sleep and can also wake up a lot easier.

    Saying that, I'm delighted that its a "day off" tomorrow as I'm desperate to have a nice wholesome meal (takeaway). For any of the guys on here who know what they are talking about - 1 "bad" meal isn't going to wreck a weeks work is it?

    It won't wreck anything to be honest. When I have a "cheat meal" I find it very positive as it gives me more motivation to go to the gym, it keeps me sane, and best of all it tastes 100 times better than it would had i had it regularly.

  7. 5-4 on serve in the second. Karlovic has serve SEVENTEEN aces thus far. :lol:

    Edit: and the first break of serve gives Murray a 7-6, 6-4 win. Good win given that Karlovic can be a tricky opponent when his serve is firing, and with 17 aces it clearly was.

    Pleasing. :D

    Karlovic is an opponent that nobody will want to face. Very annoying player but decent win for Murray and hopefully goes on to regain his title!

  8. Obviously I don't know your top 10 to avoid them so can only make assumptions. My favourite song out with the expected obvious one is Sad Song by Oasis, quite a catch wee number. Also Roll With It, Whatever and Half The World Away.

    Must add I admire Noel immensely but not listened to Beady Eye as I don't really like Liam.

  9. Alex Thomson is a war correspondent/ frontman of channel 4 news. Can anyone shed light on why he got involved in this caper? Can`t be bothered checking the credentials of our established sports `journalists`- but i shouldn`t imagine there`s much of any worth there (in terms of hard jounalism or degrees). f**k knnows why he cares.....but he does. And I wish he`d turned up ten years ago. STAR.

    Says it all about the Scottish media that a War Correspondent is the only one talking sense.
