Just out of the cinema there after watching the Amy Winehouse film. You know what you are getting with these music biographies but it was very enjoyable. A tortured soul with an abundance of talent. Sad.

Reddit would be one of the more popular i'd say.  It's such a huge community though.  You can narrow it to more specific areas of interest.

Quote from: thebigfella on April 12, 2024, 10:37:16 AMGood round from McIlroy. Wasn't at it on the first 6 holes, whether it was mental or swing but kept himself in it with some great patient play. That's probably the worst score he could have shot from round where he didn't bring his A game.

Scheffler is the opposite, played great and got lots of lucky bounces. On the 13th he should have been in the water and staring at bogey rather than simple up and down for birdie, but you need luck to win too. McIlroy was inches from a tap in birdie on 13 rather than a tricky downhill putt, that could have easily been a 2 shot swing. DeChambeau similarly blessed with luck. The 17th for McIlroy on another day the drive isn't as penal on the swing and the approach rolls into the bunker (what he was trying to do) rather than out the back, so he has a chance of getting up and down.

Bar the 16th missed opportunity, I think the rest was ok. He could have been 4 under with a few breaks (13, 16 and 17 cost him) without being anywhere as at the level of the 2 leaders. He's still well in this.

Certainly not the disaster round that he can sometimes have. If he does his usual and has a very low scoring round then he will certainly be well in the mix.

Some poor enough results for the English sides last night that wont help the hunt for the 5th CL spot.  Villa the only team with a win, and by the looks of it they'll have a very difficult trip to France.  How Watkins doesnt get a penalty awarded I'll never know.

Quare change considering Derry were playing in front of a few hundred in Div4 not so long ago.

A delay because of the weather already.  It does give a good few days though. Could be a difficult day today.

Quote from: square_ball on April 10, 2024, 08:18:20 AMPerhaps a mix of trials and actual performances would be a better system to pick the team. Omagh are back to back MacRory and Hogan Cup winners and have had 1 all star in the last 2 years. Daly and McCullagh missing out on all stars shows the current system doesn't work.

Pretty damming that.

Disgraceful from Saka. Never a penalty.  This Arsenal side always seem to have something to moan about.

McIlroy just always seems to have 1 horrible round in him at this course over 4 days.

Quote from: screenexile on April 09, 2024, 12:57:31 PMFinsihed the Regime and found it shite enough. It was a parody without being particularly funny and it just never really clicked.

Winslet was very good as she always is but not much more to like about it after that. It seemed like an intellectual exercise rather than anything worth watching.

The last season of Curb was brilliant I really enjoyed the last series and the finale. It will be missed.

Shogun is my only show at the minute with an episode per week which is helping me get to bed earlier. I'm not sure if I've mentioned it yet but it's class!!!

Started reading the book last week so i'm going to leave the show for a wee while. It looks great. so far the book is ticking along nicely.

The best major (IMO) is almost underway again. Who are the fancies?

Is this finally the time for Rory to add the green jacket to his collection?

The whole package including travel, tickets and what you spend that day is really getting to be too costly, especially for families.  When you then add in the schedule of games that will come think and fast, then low numbers at the outset is inevitable.

Quote from: imtommygunn on April 06, 2024, 10:21:31 PMProwse scored directly from a corner. Haven't seen that in a long time.

Douglas Luiz did it twice last season.

Villa really struggling on the run in. Should have been cruising at 2 nil.
