Aye it was pretty good.
Nah, never tried making it. Might look in to that.
I’ll try to find the recipe I used & if I do, I’ll post it on here.

Kimchi fried rice this evening.
Looks fantastic! Have you ever tried making your own Kimchi? I used to make it during lockdown as I was obsessed with Korean BBQ. It was a wee bit difficult to get some ingredients but I eventually found a great recipe. Was excellent but best made day before and stored in fridge.

And while I appreciate everyone jumping to the Dead Pool's defence,
I do not believe you post on this forum in good faith. You have 100 posts and the majority of them seem to be in non-football sections, complaining about what other people post. I have been on the internet a long time. This is not normal internet behaviour. People don't sign up to forums and complain about threads or discussions they have no part in. If you genuinely thought P&B to be unconscionable, you wouldn't be here.
However, I realise the concept of a Dead Pool can appear morbid or disrespectful to an outsider. With this in mind, I'd like to make three points:
- Nobody's forcing you to post on P&B. Nobody's forcing you to read this thread. If you don't like it, don't pay it any attention. This advice can be applied to increasingly great amounts of modern life.
- Over 100 people play this game every year. Do you really think none of them have had a relative die, or suffer? I'd love to remember the post but an early justification for the Dead Pool I remember from when I started playing was, well, everybody dies. You may as well have some fun with it.
- With this in mind, ever since I started running the game in 2019 I have been at pains to give the deceased as much sympathy and respect as they deserve. I've learned a lot about a lot of people, and I'd hope other posters have too. Nobody in this game genuinely celebrates or hopes for death. I know there are other games similar to this out there on the internet and from what research I've done I think I do a good job of keeping the thread respectful, informative and engaging.
After all of this, the only other thing I have to add is a repeat of my first point. If you don't like it, don't post.
Unless it’s a very close battle at the end of the year.
Other than that, fantastic post.

To be perfectly honest, the way the UK is lurching to the right, Rwanda might actually be the better option for asylum seekers. As a country, we are a fucking disgrace.

It’s very difficult for a team like ours, when we feel that the majority of the fans aren’t bigots or bigot apologists - purely reserved for away games.

I’m trying to understand the logic here. Because IRA songs are clearly worse than the existence of plastic pitches does this somehow mean plastic football pitches in top tier professional football aren’t worthy of debate because some clowns want to sing about the IRA?
Not at all, both can be debated. But it’s a bit strong for Lubo to identify plastic pitches as “an embarrassment to the SPFL” whilst resolutely refusing to address the bigotry which you correctly deduce to be a far larger embarrassment.

Strange how I see and hear fans criticising them regardless of the result then.
I note you are happy to answer many other points, any chance of addressing my question to you.
Which is more embarrassing to the Scottish game in your opinion? Plastic pitches or bigotry?

You should maybe learn to read.
So, plenty of people have addressed the need for certain teams to have plastic pitches and the advantages that can bring financially to them, but also can be fantastic community assets. I’d just like to ask you, which do you find most embarrassing, plastic pitches or bigotry?

Just catching up with the thread, an I too feel a bit of disconnect with football and my club of late. I still watch every week but just feel I don't care as much right now. I hope the pull returns.
I’m the same, lower league football is far better. It means something. It’s not tilted (in general) to the cash cows. I detest the EPL & will actively avoid watching it. So much as I wear a blindfold when it on in the pub. I hate it & everything it stands for. It would have been great if the super league had taken off, 90% of true fans would have no interest in it, EPL fan boys are worse than mass murderers in my opinion. c***s that haven’t spent 90 minutes watching absolute dirge on the pitch, yet walk away happy. That’s me.

Not it sure exactly how bad this is yet, hopefully not as serious as some reports suggest.

My tuppence worth, the fans are a sideshow for the players. Don’t misinterpret that as a dismissal of the fans, they would obviously love to do well for the fans, however, to make it as a pro player takes something a wee bit special that most “great players” that haven’t made it professionally don’t have. Im absolutely certain that most squad members have bought into SSC thoughts, and without exception they are far more confident in the national squad. Us, as fans can only influence their positive thoughts in a minor way, get behind the team, they’ll perform, be ambivalent, they’ll perform, get on their backs, they’ll perform under par. Just my tuppence & playing at top level, that’s the way I see it.

You are a very talented poster.

If only there were thousands of places scattered across the country roughly in line with population distribution where folk could go and watch sport on TV. They might even enjoy a good atmosphere and meet like-minded others whilst there. You could call them public houses.
This. I’ve never had Viaplay & won’t be getting any other paid service, I enjoy going to the pub to watch matches and from my experience the pubs seem to do a decent bit of business probably due to our relative success recently.

Scenes when VAR is used to lip read what a player really said to a ref.
Aye, games lasting 3 days because an Albanian speaking lip reader couldn’t be found within 600 miles of a St Mirren home tie in the qualifiers for Europa league, again, I’d get totally behind this! It would prove the absolute nonsense of dissecting the game where it’s become a farce as far as the original rules.

Just now there is not much to like about my club.
The stadium, team, manager and owners are all crap.
Just like your posting.

There's a 10 minute sin bin in the works and it's long, long overdue.
I’ll be honest, not a great fan of the proposed sin bin idea, football has always had yellows & reds, can’t really see why we’d introduce something from other sports?
If the sin bin was applied to all players dissenting it could become a great spectacle if it was 11 v 4 for ten minutes, now THAT I could get fully behind.

Dissent really fucks me off, I’ve never seen a referee reverse a decision because half the team are surrounding him, I’m sure there are occasional cases but must be 0.01% of the times it happens. Personally I’d make a 5 yard rule, anyone approaching the ref after a decision against their team encroaching within that distance to remonstrate with the ref - instant red & 3 game suspension. It’s just petulant shite.

Apart from the fact they should definitely be returned, to allow something like that to affect meetings between country leaders is absolutely farcical, tbh it’s actually just a sad reflection on how pitiful the UK actually is. Is Sunak now our foremost statue defender?
