It's the Napoli basketball team that want him.

Well done. You don't see it in published diet plans, but not eating babies really made the difference here. So much for the Mediterranean diet. Well, the Cronus version of it anyway.

SR decide to get Ronald into oversee their 10 year plan...

Not having that SR focus probably saves them from relegation. 🙂 SR have certainly made it harder to sit through. Maybe they do have a master plan to drive fans towards the women's team. 🙂

HR having at least a couple of meetings this week. 🙂 Where I am, the fervour of ideological capture that was sweeping a lot of large companies, has gone into the background. A lot of companies disassociated themselves from Stonewall programmes. It took a while to realise paying a company lots of money to embed itself and any ideas it had, whether legal or not, or be labelled hateful, wasn't a good idea. Like BLM, it turns out that we had sensible, robust policies in place all along, without having to jump on bandwagons or flagellate ourselves in public, if we weren't part of a group. Which seems to please everyone regardless of whether they have protected characteristics or not. Not a soul was keen on having unisex toilets put into new buildings. Something more money was spent on to give some separation to. I do still use a rainbow lace to find a lanyard in my bag. Very useful. The other is still in a bag of cat toys.

And he was worth every penny of that. Edit: And he was worth a penny of that. 🙂

His second division Andorran team will find out at the end of his first season. 🙂

Smash

It's good that players can develop through clubs playing at different levels. Top division in Turkey, lower down but aiming to go up in France and the National League in England. 🙂

Banner

Oddly enough, Spors is looking at how transferable bowling coaching badges are with UEFA, combining SR's left field approach with the increased entertainment you mention. And obviously more points from the bowling coach than Juric, Martin, Selles and Jones would get. 🙂

And in support, show them that you also think Tesla is number one, by displaying a single digit. I'm sure that won't be seen as something it's not. 🙂

Peev out of the way first. The Beeb headline is "Rangers embarrassed by 'shameful' banner after Uefa charges" The Rangers statement did not call the banner "shameful" The word "shameful" was around them being in a position to face a UEFA charge. "For the club to be charged with such a matter in 2025 is shameful," it said. It's an annoyance because the headline is inaccurate. Where there are inaccuracies, there is room for an interpretation of bias. Needlessly so, as Rangers were very clear about what they thought of the people involved. "...disdain for those responsible will be shared by the overwhelming majority of our supporters." "For the avoidance of doubt, if you do not believe in 2025 that absolutely everyone is welcome to follow Rangers whether at Ibrox or away, then Rangers is not the club for you, and you should disassociate yourself with the club immediately." Their statement went on to list a number of other incidents that could/will/have brought sanctions. A lot of Rangers supporters have no idea what the banner meant either. Mainly, because they don't think along the lines of the people responsible for it. What it's in response to could be a Muslim related (they held an end of Ramadan event) or a rainbow flag thing (one was displayed at some point), or support for broader "anti-woke" movements, for reasons known only to the people behind it. The "foreign out" followed by "defend Europe" is going to be interpreted as racism, whatever the reasons they may have had. Pretty much all with an opinion think whatever it was stupid, done by a tiny minority of people that don't speak for them, and they, and the club are more that tired of them. The club has had plenty of issues with some of their support. They know the rules and likely repercussions, but a minority still do it. The statement asking them to kindly sod off indicates the end to whatever patience they have, is getting closer.

Yesterday, all I could come up with was not risking a neck injury, having to look upwards on the PL table. I think I love what fans of most clubs love. Home grown talent breaking into the side. Followed by the inevitable doubts as they learn, which are all forgotten when they do really well. Seeing an international squad and seeing our players in it (prior to that being a sign they were joining Liverpool) The lame excuses bigger clubs use when we beat them. Not so much beating them though, as under Lawrie we were a really good team. A strategy that pays off. From Lawrie's veteran stars mixed with our very best talents, to the players that came through under Dave Merrington's coaching. I'd like to think we'd not have the lunatic levels of entitlement, the big clubs have. But that might be something all clubs end up with. SR have made lots of poor decisions, but we're not Reading or one of many clubs with/ who have had horrible owners. I like being the underdog club. Although quite happy, it turns out, to have a big budget in a lower division. We're still in a really good place to do well next season. Systems that deliver more than the sum of their parts. Peak Ralph, Peak Poch, 180 minutes or so under Martin. Alan Ball centering everything around MLT. Especially considering what went before. Being part of a support, and a club. Brought home even more when we've been much further down and going into admin. And the hope before the first ball of the season is kicked.

I'm willing to try.

The moment the SaintsWeb splintered* into the Dark(Chocolate)SaintsWeb with it's Buy&Sell forum for High Cocoa produce. 🙂 *(some say it separated in the crumbliest, flakiest way)

Unnecessary

The way this page is going, someone will post a Guardian link. There, you will learn to accept the reasons for intolerance towards lactose, understand the history of lactose and the prejudice it has faced, and demand you overcompensate by having loads of it in your diet. 🙂

Leave SOG's Vienetta alone!

Yeah, you'd hope he and the people around him would know that it's vital he builds on his PL appearances, with plenty of first team minutes wherever he ends up. Whether that's:- joining a Spurs/ Chelsea (again) and being loaned immediately out to a strong Euro side/lower PL outfit, Joining another decent PL club (the high price we want being offset by the remaining contract length). Joing a decent Euro club direct. He's a regular PL starter (albeit for us). So needs to build on that, rather than drop down levels. It's perfectly natural for the form of someone his age and experience to fluctuate, and to drop for spells. Handling the minutes, development and expectations is so important. SR are happy to promote talent into the first team. Partly, that's through showing them that path when they join. However, they have little to no experienced cover in place to compensate for the expected rises and falls. Tino faded before getting injured. Broja faded. Lavia may well have picked up injuries too. In all cases, first team picks. Despite having clear drop offs, when getting some rest could have been beneficial. Dibling has played a lot. As mentioned, in an utterly rubbish set up from top to bottom. He'll have picked up loads of valuable experience, both good and bad, to learn from.

Spors bottling his first real decision.
