He obviously knows him and likes him. It's probably as much as him not rating some folk currently in the squad. Maybe it's to give him a proper ball carrying CB for his preferred 3 at the back, or it's to provide more energy in a midfield that drops off pretty quick once Brown and Stanton aren't in it.

Before the Rovers go right behind.

I knew Mickey wouldnt let us down.

Aye, we'll end up playing it. Chuck a couple of shitty goals away, lose and that'll be that.

Precisely why the Russians told the US first, so that it didnt look like a surprise nuclear launch.

There was a whole thing about her kid going apeshit on the IMDB forums about her being credited as "woman who pisses herself" or something similar...

Unless the Russians want a Trident SLBM shoved down their throats it's in their best interests to advertise the missile payloads and objectives ahead of time.

IRBMs tend to be more mobile (therefore harder to track than an ICBM in a silo) and have less range. There were specific treaties in the late Cold War limiting or even outright banning IRBMs because they had a destabilising impact on the status quo: harder to hit, closer to likely targets with reduced reaction time. If you imagine that MAD doctrine is based on a gaurenteed 2nd strike, then the prospect of a short reaction time decapitating strike is basically trying to make nuclear war winnable, and hence more dangerous. Having said all that, if Putin wants to chuck conventional payloads around on his limited ballistic missile inventory. Let him. They aren't precision weapons. Ballistic missiles rely on a combination of dead reckoning and star sighting to hit the right target (you can't use periodic updates from other sources like GPS as those can be spoofed). Since targets have historically been big non moving things like cities and their (nuclear) payloads have had damage radii measuring in the 10s of kilometres, it's never much mattered that the individual circular error of probability for each warhead measured in the 10s to 100s of metres. However, it's not going to help Russia target HQs or individual factories or sites. It's a move designed to look scary in response to the use of Western precision long range weaponry, but it's not of much practical benefit.

Would like to see that deconvolved with Lewis Vaughan's presence.

McNeil played a couple of games around the turn of last year.

I suspect the opposite.

Worth noting that Murray had Vaughan and Stanton available on a regular basis.

We were f**king terrible in the first half. Not one player did enough to get pass marks. f**king grim. Second half, yeah we did a lot better, probably dominated the play and got ourselves back on level terms before shooting ourselves in the foot again. Seemed like a ridiculously avoidable goal.

Our defending should come with a slow trombone slide. Absolute f**king joke today.
