Quote from: RedHand88 on February 17, 2024, 07:30:26 PMDon't worry, the much talked about City "16 wins in a row streak" is right around the corner  ::)  ::)  ::)

No streaks in that current Manchester City team. Drawing at home to mediocre Chelsea who Liverpool should beat comfortably in the upcoming Cup final.

Klopp now knows he can lose to Manchester City and still win the league title.

If City win game in hand they'll be a point behind Liverpool so I doubt Klopp thinks that.

Quote from: Sportacus on February 16, 2024, 10:04:28 PMMichelle on the Late Late.  When Adams and McGuinness picked her as the heir, they saw the potential. Very impressive and self assured tonight.

I like Michelle but a lot of soundbites and cliches. And usual Sinn Fein thing of sitting on fence on issues.
If ever a post described itself, it is this.

Could you put a bit more meat on the bones of what you mean?

The housing for immigrants issue for one. Went way of on a tangent. Then said we'll hear what people say and decide. They're meant to put up a position and face the electorate based on that.
I'm not sure that's particularly true. Positions on anything aren't written in stone. Where they came from in northern politics to where they are today is testament to that.
Also, I'm sure she is aware that she can't anchor her party to anything on a Friday night light entertainment show nor does she want to castigate those in the electorate who are against her party on the refugee issue at present.
What did you expect her to say?

Isn't part of the reason they're slipping in polls is that they don't take a position on big issues. Same during covid, they kept saying we'll wait till there's more evidence. And just kicked can down road.

Quote from: Wildweasel74 on February 16, 2024, 12:41:02 PMI no issue paying for club activities but draw the line of financing a 10k mercenary management team who float from club to club every couple of years. If they spend that money training up their own.

This is Jarlath Burns biggest challenge as president. No president has had the cajones to tackle the issue to date and it has got progressively worse every year. The single biggest expense in any club will be the running costs of the mens senior team. A lot of these coaching lads are on the gravy train and they are costing a hell of a lot more than 10k. Simple rule to implement is that the managers must be a club member, it would curb a lot of this excessive costs burdened onto clubs.

Ultimately it is the members who are subsidising these lads wages and only one team will win the championship anyway, normally the one with the best players. It is sucking all the money out of the game which could be channelled much better than going into the hands of the merry go round managers.   

Involved with club at committee level for years and a club man can cost you more than an outsider. We've had oursiders who have refused to take a penny. Depends on individual.
See if a club man is looking a penny he should be chased from about the place.

Thd problem was often because they were club men and not taking any money they had all coaches and experts in and other things money wasted on and then the bills were huge.

Quote from: andoireabu on January 25, 2024, 06:02:57 PMThe Year of the Locust by Terry Hayes is a good read. Same author wrote I Am Pilgrim which is one of the few books I've ever read more than once.
Am I right in saying there is a sci-fi element to it? I like sci-fi and like I Am Pilgrim a lot but I have my reservations about this one.

Yeah but so badly done. Was a normal run of mill book then last section went of on a massive tangent. I'm still not sure if I like the book. Just felt the sci fi bit was like an add on at end and not consistent with rest of story.
