They’ll not hold on but if they do then it’ll be objectively hilarious.

So will this be a shite 0-0 or a mental 3-2? All you seem to get in the big English games.

Bernie Collins is excellent though
Should get Di Resta back as well, he hates Hamilton and it’s great to listen to.4 -
I was ready to say that Palmer must be rivalling Tavernier for the amount of penalties he scores then he gets the deflected winner. A quick google says he’s scored 22 goals this season and 10 have penalties.

Russell is fast becoming my most disliked driver. All he seems to do is whine about something, every week.
I sometimes think about what all the drivers would do if F1 didn’t exist, I remember reading that Magnussen was a welder at the start of his career when things weren’t going too well and Bottas studied engineering. Norris has an esports company/brand, I think LeClerc would still be in high school cause there’s nothing going on in his brain, Yuki would be a chef. Russell would 100 percent be the most insufferable “influencer” of all time, probably made famous by a Made in Chelsea type show and would be appearing on Big Brother etc telling us how great the Tories are.1 -
Imagine spending so much time being raging that you can’t say nasty stuff online without the possibly of consequences.1 -
I liked Kris Boyd insisting that Kyogo was already down before the contact, then slowly changing to going down before the contact, when all replays showed neither were the case.

Does anyone actually like any of the drivers? Reading this thread it's like everyone just wants failure for everyone
I like LeClerc, Gasly, Albon, Tsunoda and Piastri. Fairly neutral on most of the rest except for hating Norris (massively overrated) and Russell.0 -
Disgraceful decision for the penalty, not as disgraceful as Phillips not injuring that gimp Gordon though.

I noticed they were checking carry on baggage sizes at Edinburgh and I've just been reading some Swissair people saying there's been a crackdown by Easyjet and Ryanair. Apparently not enough money has been getting raised from hold luggage so they're pressurising the Swissair agents to catch more over-sized luggage at the boarding gates. They've been putting "Mystery Shoppers" through the lines to catch staff out who are then disciplined.
So if everyone just has a normal size bag they get in trouble? I could understand if there was constantly over weight bags getting on but to go out of your way to find them is ridiculous. Like telling the police they need to catch X amount of speeders a day and then sending unmarked cars to drive over the limit.0 -

Aston Martin trying to sign Newey. Good luck with that - unless it's to replace Stroll.
Surely if he goes anywhere it’s to Ferrari, the only reason for Aston would be money but Red Bull and Ferrari can give him a blank cheque as well.0 -
This is worse than getting jailed.

Oh, right...
You’re asking this in a thread about a Northern Irish Political Party.

Headed up to the Women’s Open at St Andrew’s for a few days this summer? Anyone ever been to a women’s major and know what it’s like crowd wise? I’ve been to the men’s at Muirfield and Troon which were obviously great but chaos, hoping this will be a bit quieter and we can get a good view of it all.

The traditionally Unionist Belfast Telegraph have taken against the UDA and are digging up humiliating dirt. Unsure if that's a new thing.
A unit in the South East Antrim (SEA) UDA drugs cartel has been told ‘dues’ from its members will no longer go to paying bosses.
But any hope the decision signals the terror group moving away from crime has been dashed.SEA UDA members in the Rathcoole estate in Newtownabbey have instead been told their £5 weekly payments will be put into an Eleventh Night bonfire fund. The money had previously been used to pay its leaders in the area.
The overall sum is not insignificant because with around 400 SEA UDA members in Rathcoole, dues regularly came in at £2,000 per week, which is more than £100,000 per year.
“The announcement about the dues was made by the 2IC (second-in-command) who we call ‘the Cokehead’ at a meeting last week,” a source said.
“With all the talk of transitioning, when he said ‘No more dues’, we thought we might finally be stood down, which is what the vast majority of members want.
“But no, we were told we’re expected to continue to pay money, only this time it will be for a bonfire fund, and we’ll have to go out collecting wood for it regardless of age or medical conditions.”Insiders said the Rathcoole UDA was deeply embarrassed by the size of its bonfire at the Diamond last July which was much smaller than in years gone by.
The blame for this was placed on a lack of funds to buy pallets, which was caused by several significant PSNI drugs and cash seizures.
However, SEA UDA gangs in Newtownabbey, Carrickfergus and Larne managed to build huge bonfires despite police pressure on their rackets.
This left loyalists in Rathcoole red-faced, a situation they are determined to avoid this summer.
Our source said: “There’s a lot of one-upmanship between the different units. To an outsider, it might seem childish, but there are UDA members who take the bonfire really seriously.“It’s like something out of Give My Head Peace. The majority of members just want the whole thing wound up instead of having to hand over money to bonfire funds and being forced to run around the place collecting wood.”
The Rathcoole UDA’s cashflow problems have also forced it to cut weekly payments to former prisoners who served long sentences for the gang.
Among those who had their ‘wages’ docked were convicted bomber Stanley Curry and feared gunman Harry ‘Turtle’ Smyth, who was jailed for planning to murder exiled loyalist Johnny Adair.
Rathcoole residents have expressed fears that a bigger Eleventh Night bonfire will bring trouble to the area.
Previous large bonfires at the Diamond have seen cars hijacked and set ablaze and a man attacked with a broken bottle.Locals said the Rathcoole UDA boss known as ‘the Cokehead’ had taken personal charge of this year’s bonfire.
One explained: “He’s a complete waster and spent the St Patrick’s Day weekend falling about drunk on Buckfast and sniffing cocaine.
“He even boasted on social media about going on a three-day bender. The bonfire will be a disaster with him in charge.”
Sunday Life revealed last year how the SEA UDA had been in tentative talks with government officials about transitioning away from crime, similar to other loyalist paramilitary groups.
However, many within the terror gang believe that this, and having two terror murals painted over with images of the royal family, is just a ruse to get the Paramilitary Crime Task Force off the leadership’s back.Last week the National Crime Agency (NCA) took official ownership of a holiday home linked to former SEA UDA leader Gary Fisher.
A court granted the seizure after the NCA said the caravan had been bought with the proceeds of money laundering.
The legal action spooked other SEA UDA leaders who fear their illegal property and business empires, amassed with drugs cash, could also be targeted.
That whole thing is honestly just really funny. A terrorist gang are upset that their neighbours built a bigger bonfire than them and now they’re all bitching about it in the papers, it’s like the Daily Record printing a story about a kid who’s brother got a better Christmas present. They might as well just name the “cokehead” as it’s guaranteed every local knows who he is anyway.0 -

No I drive over the Kessock bridge with my eyes closed.
Drove over the Oresund bridge once and was hyperventilating by the end.
I remember going to France as a kid and we drove over this absolutely massive high bridge that came out of nowhere, discovered I might not enjoy heights that day.1 -
I see the Yanks are slagging off the Baltimore Mayor because of the way he dresses. God forbid the Mayor looks like the average resident of the city he represents.

Seen one of the Irish guys done well at one of the try outs as a kicker. Not sure if he was a GAA or Rugby player but think it was GAA. With the way the game is going and the crackdown on kick returns I think we’ll see a lot more non Americans on the kicking side as they’ll not need to be as strong physically or tackle too much.
