    Cutting The Cord on Cable/Satellite TV Service?

    Any suggestions for best indoor over the air antennas? I’ve downgraded my spectrum service to remove all local channels and the $26 broadcast fee. I seldom watch local channels but I can see where I could miss coverage of golf, football etc at certain times of the year. In an unrelated...

    Scottish Fitba 2023-24: Why Does It Always Rain on Me?

    I don’t blame the US. VAR is even more of a farce up in Scotland. I’ve pretty much tuned out. I will however be looking forward to June 14th.

    The IFAB approves plans to introduce blue cards for Sin-bins

    At least in Scotland if you had a player fly past you and you stretched out your leg to trip him you were off. No attempt to get the ball and risking the player getting injured. Of course there was still a gray area of interpretation. I was sent off myself for a professional foul. Straight red...

    The IFAB approves plans to introduce blue cards for Sin-bins

    Great, another reason for a manager to park the bus and time waste as much as possible. There’s a reason I barely watch football anymore ( hello VAR) this just gives me another reason to find something better to do. There was a day when cynical and professional fouls earned you a straight red.

    SoSH Golf, 2023

    Not obviously a playing review but just general impressions. The course itself is probably at least a couple of miles south from the main Pinehurst drag. The most noticeable thing is that it's truly hidden away, it's like nobody wants you to know there's a golf course there. This I'm sure will...

    Shohei Ohtani is an LA Dodger: 10 years/$700 million

    Apparently.. in the last 48 hours his shirt sales have broken all records for the Dodgers. Which I suppose is not surprising.

    Citeh are in trouble, it warms my cockles. Of course they can just pull out that fat check book in January… but thus far, entertaining to see them struggle.

    Global Football Odds & Ends

    I obviously haven’t been paying too much attention but I watched the entire draw live. I then saw Albania as a number 2 seeded team and it was a WTF moment. And I see England got their usual bye group .

    Global Football Odds & Ends

    Thank God. I’d hope it’s a rule absolutely 100% adhered to by refs checking any youth player taking the ice.

    Global Football Odds & Ends

    I know pretty much zero about ice hockey. Obviously completely accidental. I did see a “ still” taken at moment of impact in a newspaper. It kind of reminded me off balance karate kick to the throat. Dumb question, but are there neck protectors players can wear to give at least some protection...

    Everton 23-24: A Small Club

    No idea what the eventual outcome will be. I just thought it strange that the more “ intelligent “ newspapers were running with it. If it was the daily mirror or daily mail I wouldn’t have bothered posting. I guess we will find out soon enough ( this week I guess).
