Was it not a foul on the goalie?

That's what I thought unless the rule has been changed that you can tackle the keeper in the square?

Interesting to hear why Poland and Slovakia appear to have "low" deaths in comparison to the vaccination programme?
Have they a better than normal healthcare system, spread out population etc that limits the effect of the virus?

Poland had 497 Covid deaths yesterday. Population 38 million.

Slovakia had 71 in a population of 5.4 million.

These are not low death figures, Covid is now ravaging both countries.

Hence the inverted commas.....

Does anyone know car scrap dealers for BMW where I could buy a spare wheel?

What specific model is it for?
I've a full set of 18inch alloys that would likely be cheaper than a spare from a scrappy.
18inch MV2 alloys off an e46 3 series 2 good tyres/ 2 shite.

EDIT; or is it a space saver you are after?

I want one spare and jack for a BMW X1 (2017)

Sorry mine are a different stud/bolt fitment. (5x120)
You need 5x112

Unless you live literally beside a motorway doing 70/80mph to turning the car off within a minute then the above shouldn't be a problem. Most people will have a bit of a slower speed journey from the motorway to their home to allow the engine to cool down enough.
A bigger reason for turbos shitting themselves is the longlife servicing schedules. No car should be running more than 10k before oil changes. But servicing now is generally 12k+. The oil coming out would be like treacle!

How about filling up at motorway service stations?

Unless you are doing 70/80mph then pulling into a service station and turning the car off every single day then I don't see it being an issue.

For the past 6 months or so i would randomly lose power in the car and couldnt get above 30/40, generally it rectified itself and it really only happened a few times so i paid no attention. Keep an eye though when you are doing higher speeds on motorway and that as i found it slower to get my speed up there.
Last week i overtook quickly going off the motorway and felt it nearly snap. Drove away at it back down the motorway until lost all power, every light flashed on and the smoke was mental. Roaring from the car was mad as well.  Turns out my turbo blew up. Point of that story was that few times i felt it lose power but go back on so maybe its a sign the turbo is going 

Good notice given the increasingly high number of petrol and diesel cars with turbos.

Turbos are susceptible to damage than we are led to believe because the oil pipes to them clog up when the turbo has not been allowed to cool down gradually after high speed driving.  This causes deposits to build up in small pipes and with no oil being pushed around the turbo it will blow up.  More of a problem with older cars that do not have overrun cooling fans which attempt to cool the engine after the car is switched off.  Best to allow an engine to cool down by leaving the engine on idle for several minutes immediately after high speed driving, e.g. motorway driving and then pulling in to a service station and switching off immediately.

I tend to change the oil every 6-8k to keep the engine sweet.

Things have to get to a state of chaos in the US before there is change. Slavery resulted in civil war Jim Crow ended in riots across the country.  Plutocracy ended in negative ream interest rates and WW2.

I can't see this changing anytime soon.
Pretty much all of New Orleans had their guns taken from them after katrina. Which was only possible in those circumstances of martial law. There's no way that could happen in a city without a crisis. If the cops tried to do it they'd end up with a Waco in every city.

The horse has bolted. They are armed to the teeth and are staying that way.
These weapons are no good in Africa or other restless places as they are expensive and hard to maintain. There has to be a market for them especially as the military are constantly upgrading. No point in storing them or destroying them when there's is a market there.

Whilst it would be impossible to recall the guns it is possible to restrict access to the ammunition.
Now I realise there is an awful lot of ammunition stored up but eventually it has to dry up.

The Chris Rock 100dollar bullet sketch springs to mind.....

Girl falls out of a moving bus as she was standing up as the bus went round a corner.
Should she not have been sitting in a seat with a seatbelt on? (Not up to date with the law regards belts and minibuses)
The Mum wants bars put on the windows!

I smell bullshit. 

I have seen the window fall out on the bus a few times as i used to travel a distance for school.  Each and every time the window fell out was because people were acting the ballix.

Agreed

Personally I don't think he would make it at AFL.

He's obviously the best minor this last 20 odd years but physically I'm no so sure if he's suited as say someone like Mark O'Connor, Conor McKenna, Conor Glass.

He looks to be as tall and as athletic as Conor Glass, can kick off both feet, seems to have a good footballing brain (eg the pass for the 2nd Kerry goal) and can field a ball well. What do you think he is lacking? Bulk? I'm sure a pro S&C regime would soon sort that out!

Donal Vaughan typifies the stupidity of this mayo team and why they will surely not win an AI. Beyond stupid.

Saying that, most of the mayo team were outstanding today. Many of the lesser know known players have been heroic all year - Barrett, McLaughlin, Doherty, parsons etc.

Some of the dispossessions/ tackles by Barrett were absolutely top drawer!

[The goal for a start was as a result of Sludden overhitting a simple hand pass]

The lack of intensity from Tyrone yesterday was the most disappointing thing.

The goal for a start was as a result of Sludden overhitting a simple hand pass, Dublin breaking and McNamee making the most pathetic attempt you'd see to stop O'Callaghan. If you look at the contrast with Dublin yesterday, they were hunting in packs, they were checking runs and niggling at their markers, the rare time a man got into a dangerous area he was stopped fairly or unfairly, but he was stopped. There was none of that from Tyrone yesterday which made it all the more disappointing.

Tyrone this year have been retreating back and then hitting teams on the 45 and turning them over, today was disgraceful. Dublin were allowed work the ball into the 30 yard line without a glove on them. Andrews, Rock and Mannion etc were all allowed to win ball in there without a glove laid on them and the lack of pressure applied was baffling. Was it down to tactics of the players afraid of their lives of what Dublin could do to them. Probably a bit of both.

The mentality of the side was all wrong today. The tactics on the Dublin kickouts were disgraceful, when we went to push up on the kickouts we were still leaving a man completely unmarked in a pocket of space between midfield and half back. When you push up on kickouts you have to go man for man on everyone, we didn't - we left one guy free all the time.

Colm Cavanagh battled gallantly, took a few great scores but outside of that it was fairly bleak. A rethink is needed for sure.

I actually thought the ref was partly to blame for that overhit handpass.
Just as he was about to release the ball ref cuts in front of him and he ends up trying to pop it over the refs head, albeit too much and the result was the goal.

I actually think Martin Carney is an excellent co commentator. Knows his stuff. Knows the players. Knows the game. What exactly are people looking for in a co commentator?

Are you taking the piss?
He might have knowledge but whenever he opens his mouth he certainly doesn't show it.
He certainly does not know the players. He gets their names wrong on an astoundingly regular basis. Actually a lot of the boys on RTE do.
There was a passage of play, maybe a Tyrone kickout (there were a lot of those) when Carney tried to make a point but stuttered, farted, spluttered and tripped over his words for about 7seconds and it ended up a mutter in the end. The man is absolutely dreadful. Plus the tone of his voice is nauseating.

Agreed. There are times ive contemplated watching a game in complete silence when he is commentating.
