That's a fair point, it may have been caution. difficult to tell. Thought the questions had a clear agenda myself, largely centring around a certain club off the M6 who play in red.
-
Guess it's a different pressure though. Public speaking has always been a major trigger for imposter syndrome with me, but I can actually get out there and do the job I've been talking about assertively and (finger's crossed) to a decent standard.
-
I thought they all looked like they were crapping themselves, which merely indicates that they are sane.
-
We saw videos of a Glaswegian literally punching a cardboard cutout of him as hard as he could before taunting it to get up. I'm surprised you're surprised.
-
To be fair I think SG has ‘resting serious face’.
-
Well, yeah but I implicitly meant winning it back and doing something with it.
-
I personally had never heard of him before Gerrard took over, but folks were talking about him as one of the folks he might go back to Rangers for. I know of Kent, and from what i've seen (which again is admittedly limited) I like him. I think we're all clutching at straws to sweep up the turd that the Defensive Midfield Elephant in the room has laid.

Oh dear. Right then. Plan B.

But if there is no trust in those players to also do their job professionally, why would those players trust and respect the management? Are we saying that they are unprofessional because they are getting to 120 bpm not 130 bpm in training? If I have messed up at my work, firstly I would always admit it, (because that shows that I'm not a prick who avoids responsibility), but assuming I didn't and the management needed to give me a nudge (back when I had a manager), I would expect to be pulled aside and had a word with, not bollocked in front of my colleagues. No way I'd stay at a company where management did that. It's mega unprofessional, and it doesn't work. You don't want players working as hard as they need to to avoid a bollocking, you want players working as hard as they can because they buy into what you are trying to do. You know what- pit the latter against the former, and the invested ones will win 100 times out of 100. By the way I'm not saying any of this is what is happening. There are 'digs' and there are 'DIGS'. A shout of 'come on push yourself' occasionally is not a bollocking in my book, just encouragement.
-
Agreed. We have talent, just no ball winners.
-
The Rangers full backs any good? We could tool up and go shopping. Get Kent and Kamara while we're at it.
-
You are taking your life in your hands posting that!!!
-
Can I ask what your take is on the other dreaded Midfield positions? Who do you think he'll go for? Not sure any choice other than McGinn and Doug at the moment, but I'm not sure how you would balance it. Granted I've not seen much of Sanson.

Indeed, same here. I'd just switch off if someone tried to bollock me. It's a sign of weak management, and weak leadership in my opinion. If you can't inclusively motivate a team then you are a pretty crappy manager.
-
Yeah. Think he did walk on the track from my recollection. Funny though, I was watching an old race on F1TV the other day, from the mid-90s I think, and there was an accident on the outside of a bend. There were yellow flags, but the Marshalls were dealing with the car while the rest of the field were careening past on the inside. It was insanely dangerous. Nearly spat my coffee out.
-
Agreed. Warnings then stiff penalty. Similar thing happened at Monza, but I think that, despite Max's penalty, there was possibly more of a case to answer from Lewis's perspective.
-
But would the key not be the subsequent braking, as he'd still have to brake harder to compensate for the faster, narrower entry? If he's not done that he had no intention of keeping within track limits.
-
Great post.
-
In fairness though, if he's aggressively defending his position, his telemetry might not be the same as a regular uncontested lap. I still think it was deliberate, but for me it should be left there and move onto the next one. If the barriers were close then it's potentially dangerous, but there is a large runoff area there that they both used. Let's let them race- I'm kind of neutral to 60-40 Hamilton supporter, but whoever wins this has been a great season, and the climax could be incredible. For some reason it's been so much better than when Lewis was fighting it out with Nico. Perhaps it's the fact that the teams hate each other?

Someone asked me once why I love F1 and I answered that it’s a soap opera for guys. A somewhat crass remark to be sure, but all of the offtrack stuff is all extra sauce. I love it.
-
I’m loving it! Max clearly forced him wide, but Lewis or anyone, Senna, Prost, especially Schumacher would have done likewise. It’s shaping up to be an epic finale. Dont write off Lewis he’s always best as an underdog.
-
Christ, I'm done with this now. Forget I ever mentioned it. I'm being cross examined about a throw away comment. It was being discussed on here over the weekend, by a number of people. I don't know where they got it from. I know nothing else about it. I was asking, because I know nothing else about it, but some on here appeared to. I honestly don't care enough about it to carry on.
-
Which is all fine, except I only asked when the press conference was because we'd been told there was one. At no point did I argue for or against the merits of one, other than to say that I generally want to hear more from Gerrard, which I would imagine at some point we all do.
-
Same. I went for large and it fits but it’s tight.
-
100% Soon though…..
