    Not many people will have an issue with that tbh. 

    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.

    It really does amaze me that people genuinely think this man isnt the greatest of all time.

    Simply untouchable

    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

    I was planning a road trip from Toronto to Montreal last year but it fell through. Really fancied going to a game in LNAH. Planned to go to games at every level. Ended up going to see my DEL team instead and absolutely loving it in Mannheim

    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.

    Leafs playoff tickets went on presale to people who are signed up to Leafs Nation, tried as soon as it hit 1pm, sold out already, $365 the cheapest resale ticket I've seen so far. Ah well, lets go Marlies!

    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.  

  5. 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 6
    Montreal in 6
    Ottawa in 7
    Columbus in 7

    Chicago in 6
    St. Louis in 7
    Edmonton in 5
    Anaheim in 6

    Apart from Montreal, I'm really liking Edmonton.  They are a really exciting young team.

    What's with penalties in this game? Never get fucking scored :lol:

    Nice knowing your keeper will save them all, frustrating as f**k when you never score any though. 

    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.

    The queues at some of them "Timmys" at times, you'd think they were giving the stuff away, if the prices are good I can see them taking off big time here as well

    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!

  8. 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

    C. Paterson J. Souttar. G. Hanley K. Tierney

               K. Ajer  J. McGinn

    Apparently it's because he made all 3 subs at the same time. The first time this has ever been done.  #visionary #goingfor55

    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.

    Billy Gilmour on his way to Chelsea for £625k..? Very poor choice of club that, will be punted to a rake of English diddy's before ending up in the Scottish Championship.

    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
