  1. I object!! We had sorta been hoping we could go the entire 4 years without him noticing we exist but he seems to have found us. As for the dairy thing, our dairy exports to the US are so miniscule that any sort of tariff would have pretty much no impact on dairy suppliers. Even Wisconsin dairy farmers are saying that the problem is over-production not our milk. Oh, and he also slapped a tariff on our softwood lumber exports, which has been a long running dispute for the last couple of decades.
  2. According to the latest contestant (Willie Henderson) in "The Ibrox Legend calls for investment" they will need 50 mil to compete
  3. I feel blessed to be able to live in the era of the greatest player of all time. There has been no more complete player than Lionel Messi
  4. The Daily Record with an over the top clickbaity headline that doesn't actually reflect what was said? Shocking, positively shocking
  5. If Scotland doesn't want to be fully independent, and doesn't want to be part of the UK then there is apparently a third solution, at least according to this guy! The Solution is to join Canada! http://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/scotland-as-canada-s-11th-province-author-says-it-s-a-good-idea-1.3375160 You would get more power and influence over national affairs than you do now, plus access to tariff-free maple syrup!
  6. So it appears as though Trump has gone into full "America, f**k Yeah!" mode with this MOAB strike. Has anyone told him that "Team America: World Police" isn't a documentary?
  7. Got myself a nice can of Railway City Iron Spike Copper. It's a decently smooth and malty Ontario craft beer
  8. One of the best times I ever had at a hockey game was at a DEL game in 2008. It was a playoff game in Cologne between Kolner Haie and Adler Mannheim. They remove the seats in the ends of the lower bowl to create terracing and I was in that standing section, the atmosphere was excellent with everyone jumping up and down singing. I don't speak much German but it was still a blast.
  9. I actually prefer the Gatineau Olympiques. The arena is smaller and has a better atmosphere, plus it's close to my favorite Brew Pub in the National Capital Region
  10. One of the reasons why I haven't paid to see an NHL game in a while, and I live in Ottawa where the tickets are a heck of a lot easier to get.
  11. I've got a cold, so it's tea for me right now. If I feel better I may have a beer later on.
  12. Playoffs start this week. I hope my Canadiens can win a round or two. Here are my (totally unbiased, honsest!) predictions for round 1 Washington in 6Montreal in 6Ottawa in 7Columbus in 7Chicago in 6St. Louis in 7Edmonton in 5Anaheim in 6 Apart from Montreal, I'm really liking Edmonton. They are a really exciting young team.
  13. I'm having the same issue, I just figured my entire team was shite at penalties but I'm glad that I'm not the only one. My in match success rate is around 50% from the spot.
  14. Quick shout out to my compatriot James Hinchcliffe for winning yesterday's Indycar Grand Prix of Long Beach. It's "Hinch's" fifth career win and the first since his devastating practice crash for the 2015 Indianapolis 500
  15. That's the key. Here in Canada a cup at Timmy's is less than $2.00 Canadian, which is significantly cheaper than Starbucks and comparable to McDonalds (who also have good coffee). Tim's Coffee is functional and reliable but nothing special, people drink it over here as some sort of patriotic gesture, especially in small towns, but it's really nothing special. I'm not a coffee snob (my only requirement in a coffee is that it has caffeine) so I'll buy it when I need coffee and it's close but I don't go out of my way for a cup. Either way, reliable coffee will soon be available to Glaswegians!
  16. Update on my Celtic Team Scotland plan. I'm 4 full season in, preparing for my 5th. 2018-19 was a bit of a disaster, finished 2nd in the league behind Hearts and lost the Scottish Cup final to Sevco. Getting to the round of 16 of the Champions league saved my job and 2019-20 was a major success! I won the domestic treble and made it to the semi finals of the Europa League. With some Scottish Cup replays and having to start from the first EL qualifying round I ended up playing 71 competitive games! I'm still rocking 8 or 9 Scots in my best XI, I have struggled to develop a good Scottish goalie, Jack Hamilton and Josh Donaldson have not worked out well so I bought and Italian guy from Aston Villa in Winter 2020. Kristoffer Ajer has taken over from Scott Brown (who retired at the end of the 2019-20 season and joined my coaching staff). Meanwhile Scott Sinclair is still my preferred left winger, but I'm developing a youngster named Jamie McLeish, who is now 21 and has played quite well after Sinclair got injured. This off season I am splashing some cash, bringing in Ryan Gauld for 6.5 million and on the verge of getting Oliver Burke for 7,5 million. Stuart Armstrong meanwhile was sold to Wolves for 5.5 million and I'll most likely sell Robert Snodgrass once Burke is tied up. I've also got Matthew Knox, Jack Aitchison (who I have developed as a winger) and a youngster named Jack Paterson on the fringes of the first team. Best XI with everyone healthy P. Gollini C. Paterson J. Souttar. G. Hanley K. Tierney K. Ajer J. McGinn J, Aitchison R. Christie S. SInclair L. Griffiths Scottish best XI J. Hamilton C. Paterson J. Souttar. G. Hanley K. Tierney R. Gauld J. McGinn J, Aitchison R. Christie J. McLeish L. Griffiths
  17. The most memorable time I saw any manager do that was Mourinho back in his first spell at Chelsea. It was an FA cup game against Newcastle and they made all 3 subs at half time. Ended up with guys getting injured including the goalie so I think it was Damien Duff who finished the game in goal. Chelsea lost for the record but it shows that this is less of a tactical masterclass as much as it is a stupid gamble.
  18. If I were to pick one team to avoid at all costs for a youngster it would be Chelsea. They pretty much never graduate academy kids to being first team regulars and hoard players to loan them out all over europe. The Chelsea Academy should be renamed Uncle Roman's Player Leasing service
  19. Congrats! I believe you are the first club in the top 8 English divisions AND the top 5 Scottish divisions to clinch your league (or even get promoted). Managed to pip East Kilbride and Celtic by a week.
  20. It almost seems like something that an editor who was quitting that day would do as a final prank.
  21. I'm gonna give this a go in England, currently waiting for the game to go through the "holiday" portion
