Quote from: Aaron Boone on Today at 02:55:06 PMDerry wouldn't have been far away from winning it either. It was a very tight Ulster final. They could be counted as the moral champions.

Using that logic I'm sure tyrone could have 'won' a few more titles at underage.

Quote from: square_ball on Today at 01:01:12 PMYou can't let a round go on another few seconds just to see what happens. If the bell goes the bell goes. It was strange scenario in fairness. Fury would have been better taking a knee then holding on for the final few seconds. Easier said than done of course as Fury was all over the show.

Too brave for his own good. The effort expended staying up was worse for him in the long run rather than if he had went down and took the count.

Usyk being a southpaw will potentially cause Fury lots of problems. If Fury is near his best and the last fight was a one off and not a sign of decline, then he should win.

Quote from: Blowitupref on April 27, 2024, 10:19:49 PMLate goal/winner for Chelsea disallowed. Pochettino thinks the decision was unbelievable but the ref missed a push in the back in the lead up to the goal and for me the correct decision in the end.

Very harsh to disallow. Very similar to Arsenal and Wolves last week when Jesus nudged Matt Doherty and goal was given.

Harsh? Clear foul that was as obvious as you would see on the street.

Salah, for all the praise he gets, has form for going missing in the second half of seasons when the heat is on.

Quote from: Last Man on April 21, 2024, 05:55:52 AMLike this is funny??
Let's go with this one. A mate just turned 60, T2D for 10 years treated with all the standard drug protocols. Carrying too much weight,has nasty foot ulcer for over 12 months, diabetic retinopathy requiring injections into his eyeballs, regularly shits himself and now on insulin like a T1.
He hangs on every word of his dietitian with the healthy whole grains and low saturated fat, 5 a day, healthy cooking oils crap. All the while steadily declining.
Someone who is severely insulin resistant(carbohydrate intolerant) eating loads of carbs. In what universe does that make sense.
Won't listen to a word I say regardless of me showing him evidence of 100s of people just like him resolving their symptoms by drastically reducing the carbs in their diet.
Adamant he's going to listen to the doctors and nurses, they know best after all. And he's married to a nurse!
Sorry couldn't find any humour in this sad tale.

If he is injecting insulin then he can take as much carbs as he wants, as long as he counts properly.

The mind boggles with this kind of thinking.

What kind of thinking?

Quote from: Wildweasel74 on April 21, 2024, 02:51:30 AMOn another matter, there seems to be, a few new posters on here past few weeks. On the messages, I get the impression they been on here before or jumping between a few names.

On the matter at hand watching the goals again, first was terrible, second Lynch actually scored it, it was going wide, forth lying in a heap in midfield embarrassing stuff.

The 2nd wasn't going wide but he made a balls of it. Should have kept it out.

The thing that stood about thise goals was him seemingly jogging back.  Surely he should be anticipating these scenarios and be busting his balls to get back.

From a movie perspective, the plot is not original though.

Given the length? Not special?

You can get help with that!

What type of help?

Big budget epic that looks good and has a stellar cast, but the plot was pretty unoriginal, it was drawn out and even the action scenes were pretty run of the mill too.
