I was looking at the Ukrainian attack on the Shaheed drones plant in Tatarstan. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-68712158 What is amazing is the drone the Ukrainians were using was not some type of super technology, but a simple tourist aircraft (A22 Foxbat) turned into a bomb that the Russian...

Wine Wednesday. Even if I don't drink any other day, wine Wednesday breaks the week up a treat. I have met with my friends every Wednesday evening for a few pints down my local for 20 years. It breaks the week up, and also ensures that I keep in touch with my small circle of closest friends. We als...

Battle of useless left wingers and Chelsea have the more useless wingers I don't understand why no one on the United defense took a yellow and just took a man down to stop the ball after that third goal. Our CB replacement for our injured CB also got injured. At some point we have to look at what i...

You have to go to Machynlleth just to say you've been, and can pronounce it :lol: He's going to be much closer to Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch. And yes I can pronounce it flawlessly, and with ease. I too can pronounce it with ease as I speak Welsh. Genuinely? :o

What would you do if your region was eliminated, and we went down to 3. I've always thought it would be the Dragons, but its a possibility that the Scarlets' future is on the line. If they reduced it to 2 and called it east and west it would probably be more palatable. I'd be utterly devastated if S...

Beautiful villages are Llangollen and the quirky setting of Portmeirion (in Snowdonia) and all along Llyn peninsula coast as its coastal villages are very nice in summer.

And I've just learned the ball can hit the ground and play continues if it's passed backwards. Of course. Play stops if player down with ball in hand only. Re lateral passes, the ball actually has to go backwards, unlike rugby where it is relative to the passing and receiving player. Also, the foot...

BBC saying that Peel out season end, with Ireland assistant coach Simon Easterby and fellow former Scarlets head coaches Phil Davies and Nigel Davies, as well as ex-Cardiff boss Dai Young, are among the early names linked with the post.

I'd have honestly never expected Peel to make a decent head coach based on his playing career. None of his experience prior to Charlottes pointed to him making a decent head coach. Yet he was made head coach. Why? What the juddering fudge kind of decision is that? Ulster attack/backs coach under Le...

Watched the Scarlets game (skimmed through)...bloody hell that was bad. No shame in being beaten by Glasgow - they are a really well oiled machine right now - but Scarlets barely fired a shot. To make so little out of that team. Yes, there are some big holes; tighthead is definitely a struggle, but...

Because if Wrexham, I have been keeping an eye on L2 all season. For the first time it looks like a small gap has emerged between the top 3 and the chasers. Just 6 games to go. I think Stockport and Wrexham.lookimg more confident than Mansfield.

A few points: TH made that run with helmet and pads LRZ didn't TH is 5'10 and 185lbs. LRZ is 6'3" and 194lbs. LRZ has time to change his physique and acceleration (and possibly top speed too). Both players will be used differently given their size and skillsets. And he is being compared to arguably...

I see that the Chiefs have posted LRZ's top speed in a match as being 2mph (24.something mph) faster than Tyreek Hill's fastest game speed. That is some interesting marketing right there. I bet Tyreek hits his top speed a lot quicker than LRZ does, though. A few points: TH made that run with helmet...
