I mean, I have an idea why but it's a bit weird that the press are running a story about month old comments from Kettlewell about Danzaki eh?
The quotes in these articles are lifted from his press conference posted on 26th May before the United game.
@thisGRAEME when he saw this.

I see from today's papers that Cormack is being forever the big weirdo he is.
Became a reply guy to Burrows by mistake. Typed 'Conor Hazard' and posted it instead of googling it.
So weird.

Solo: A Star Wars Story.
It's just dumb fun tbh. Doesn't take itself too seriously and is quite entertaining. Thumbs up from me.

God I cannot wait for the announcement of an undisclosed fee. The twitter replies will nourish my soul.

Can we ask them to split this into 2022 & 2023 for a laugh?

But cmon to f**k like, we're getting bodied weekly, crying out for some players that sleep in a bed of muck and nettles and eat glass bottles and Stevie Hammell is having zoom calls with a laddie who, apparently, doesn't speak English. What's the thought process here?!
Honestly wouldn't be surprised if Hammell had an iPad set up at the dinner table on Christmas Day with Danzaki (and Tomo, of course).
Spent all that time chasing Danzaki, forgetting time was still moving and having to have a classic deadline day rush.

I do wonder in general if modern tactics hurt full-backs at our level...they're expected to be good on the ball and attack while some managers expect them to defend the flanks almost alone at times due to the obsession with crowding the centre.
Tbh I think our previous manager(s) tactics hung our fullbacks out to dry. SOD has always very much been a fullback/wingback who is at his best when he's allowed to storm up and down the pitch. Alexander had him literally told not to stop crosses or go over the half way line. You could see him sticking the anchors on as soon as he got there.
As for left back we've had Carroll (an idiot who is broken) and McGinley (an intellectual who is broken). Penney looked alright for a while before he decided he fucking hated it and the change of literally everything probably helped Furlong & Johnston out big time.

Give me a couple of weeks and I will have completely forgot Aitchison ever played for us.
Speirs was given the big build up last summer (I'm still in therapy to erase that period out of my memory) and now he's emptied. So got to assume he was nowhere near it.

Tour de France: Unchained.
Wow. What a fantastic series. Takes you inside the pain, planning, triumph and agony of one of the biggest sporting events on the planet. These guys are seriously superhuman.
If you’re into the tour or even if you’re not this is thoroughly recommended.
PS - I’m STILL gutted about Lance.
Really, really enjoyed it but there's a bit of revisionism if you follow the sport. Alaphillipe ruled himself out the Tour weeks before hand so the real selection debate here was whether they took Phillipsen (obviously a big story after returning from that horrific Tour of Poland crash) or whether they bring Cavendish who is the greatest sprinter of all time.
Also leaving this on the cutting room floor is borderline unforgivable. It's one of the most sporting moments I can remember in my years of watching cycling:
However I will Stan for Wout van Aert forever. The guy races with the most panache of anyone in the sport.
Highlight of the entire show was probably seeing the rest of the squads react to this completely ridiculous bit of descending from Pidcock:

I suppose the caveat is that Turner has been playing at a level below and Cornelius has also had half a season with an inexperienced manager who, it seems, didn't really know what to do
with him.FTFY

Was laughing at the December/January one - the slimmest of pickings.
I think a Shite of the Season series where you tweet out all the stuff that made us all grumpy b*****ds would be excellent content. They could have template where one of the 4 pics just said "fucked it against 10 men" or "Sol done for pace at the winning goal".
I like that Kettlewell just appeared in January/February and simply nothing happened to get us to that point.

Just back from Denmark for a few days, whole place is spotless, not just the touristy or posh bits, even flying over farm yards there were no car wrecks or rusting tractors. Almost felt guilty for flicking my fag butts out of the 15th floor hotel window, but I had to get rid of the evidence..
Was coming on to say similar. Was over there for a few days last year and the entire place is bloody immaculate. The metro in Copenhagen is spotless, the parks are all clean & tidy and the streets rarely have any rubbish floating around.
It rips my knitting when I walk through Glasgow Green after a hot day because the whole park is a fucking shit hole. People leaving their rubbish at their arse, scorching patches of the grass with their shitty disposable barbecues and not picking up their dog's shite. Have a bit of pride in your surroundings ffs.

I can't help but feel these review of the season posts on the socials are missing a couple of bits & pieces. Can't quite put my finger on what, though.

Harsh maybe. But I am mainly going on my thoughts as to his performances when he played for us. This is a million miles away from being a Josh Morris or even Connor Shields situation. I was not hoping he left, but now that it looks like he will I am not overly upset. If anything it gives us more leeway to bring in another player.
As I said I wish him all the best, but whilst I hope we could retain the likes of Casey and Furlong I also hope quite a few in contract players move on as we need to try and get better replacements for those already in the building. A club our size and with our resources that is quite the challenge of course.
Aye. At the end of the day a hod carrying midfielder is going to be much easier to replace than a 30 goal a season big, weird Dutchman.

Across the Spider-Verse was just jaw dropping levels of gorgeous. So unbelievably good.

I can't fault Deano because he runs about a lot but I'm not exactly gutted he's gone. He's an ok player at this level but I've not seen anything that suggests he's going to kick on. And if we make a bit of money then all the better.

Good luck at Clyde.
Either they've done him dirty with a filter here or he needs some factor 50 pronto.

Episode 3. Christ.
Awful acting. Awful, awful, awful CGI.
The one thing we got that was good was Obi Wan saying the thing:
I'd probably say they diminished in quality throughout the films.
On to Solo (which I remember being quite good fun) and then Rogue One (The GOAT).

I loved it as well.
I find it great that a guy signed basically so we can play 11 v 11 at training was so mentally on it that when he got the chance of 'achieving' something he was ready and went through that last 50-50 like his life depended on it.
VN maybe a shite professional but hat-tip to his professionalism!

Victor Nirennold's tackle in injury time v Hearts last season, where he launched the Hearts boy into about Row P of the East Stand, was one for the ages.
A cult hero in my book.
I was absolutely up to my eyeballs with covid watching that on stream. Genuinely got me up off the couch when he put that tackle in.

Abel Thermeus.
Played about 12 minutes in total, then stuck the head on a Killie player and got sent off never to be seen again.
