Sounds like Big Tom doing a Kittel? I hope he’s doing what’s best for him, but it’s a shame to see him go. After the Vuelta in 2015, if you told me he’d finish (and that’s most likely what’s happening here) his career with just 1 GT win, I’d have called that disappointing. And that he only gave the...

Set the qualification period to six years for every merc........and pay the country of origin $1,000,000 for their development. How would that work for someone with a circumstance like the Vunipolas? Whats/Who is to define if someone is a mercenary or not anyway? No-one but the player can know thei...

Its not ideal but with only two pro teams, Scottish rugby needs to develop and shift on players or they will push out of the game or to other countries their talented youngsters

Baltimore bottling it as soon as the get to the playoffs again. I'm not liking the play-calling - seem to be so obvious what the offence will do. And now Lamar heaves one downfield and is easily picked off. So far off where it should have been thrown that I'm wondering if the wind took it. That age...

Stride length is one of the first things that goes to pot when you start to fatigue. Mo Farahs 10km stride length is somewhere around 2.2m, a sprinter like Bolt does about 2.6m (but he is an outlier due to his height) and most 100m sprinters would be around 2.4m. A typical elite marathoner would be ...

Nice one ER. I got into a 5km battle with my brother in the summer. I was down to 20.45 and then he pipped me at 20.35. He goes out a few days later and buys a pair of Saucony Endorphin Speeds and suddenly goes 19.50, the massive kunt. So they might be worth a look at. I’m planning to do a few tria...

1987 is watching a great team pull apart highly rated opposition in a clinical way in a one sided match we'll probably never see again. 2019? I guess you can say it wasn't one-sided, but the Boks were very clinical dismantling England. England got dismantled at scrumtime but were still in with a ch...

What I really want to say in response to that is that those grevious injuries to Saffers didn't result in them being replaced by Dan f**king Cole but the objective side of me sees your point...

For GBP£2k, I’d think he’d be looking at Ultegra level at least? Unless the frame and wheels are super fancy? The CAAD13 is by all accounts a fantastic bike. I love my CAAD10. But all brands have a bike at that kind of level, so test ride a few and see what suits you. Giant Propel would be my choic...

Outbreak of covid in my sons class and now we all have it as a family. Only symptoms like a heavier cold at the moment but as my wife is a T1 diabetic we are keeping a close eye.

I thought Brexit would make them change their minds and sod off . Well the students might like it.

Billy is still an incredibly effective rugby player, he's just lost some of the pace/explosiveness that made him properly elite 4 years ago. In tight exchanges with the Boks he'd still be offering more than everyone else available. Though in terms of back-row make up we're going to need at least 2 ...

Paris. Wife had talked it up as great but we went together and it was just awful. Litter everywhere, homeless people everywhere, not to mention the dodgy plums around all of the tourist locations. 0/10 would not recommend. I thought Paris was amazing!

Unbelievably tense game yesterday but happy with the win. Takeaways: - Farrell needs to be our 10. Ford doesn’t cut it. Like against Ireland, we started to lose points when he came on. Our best lineup this Autumn was Farrell, Slade, Lawrence. - Malins plays like a young Christian Cullen. He should ...

I'm not sure about this narrative that France were the better team. They performed far better than expected and England didnt hit their straps on attack but let's face it France had one meaningful attack all game and tackled their hearts out for the rest of it. Without Farrells awful kicking perform...

Scotland just arent a savvy rugby team. They cause themselves as many issues as the opposition does through shite decision making

It's been approved early because they threw a lot of money at planning and proritising the approval process. Has that anything to do with being in the EU or not? Every country in the EU has the right to do the same for 'emergency use' applications. The German health minister said they could do that...

Again, how do you know? Explain how you know it's been rushed to the point of corners being cut (or other worrying stuff), based on something other than "well we've never made one this fast before, so something must be up".

You would end up with players having shorter careers due to having/choosing to play through injuries. Its pretty much backwards to the way the authorities want to look after the players.

Just seen the video of the tackle on Josh Adams......how is that not at least a yellow card? Under what justification would that be a yellow card? He hasn't hit the neck or head area on the replays I have seen? A no-arms challenge isn't normally given a yellow without that and it was too far out to...

The best argument put forward so far is simply better officiating of the off side law with an official given the sole job of ensuring that is complied with. It could also be that the off side be pushed back a metre or two. At the moment everyone is off side most of the time. If this is properly pol...

95 wins 98 poles now for Hamilton. And no one cares, because he's a cnt. Hamilton seems to be a fantastic young man. Great role model for kids. You on the other hand appear to be an idiot.
