  1. Some odd things going on for sure. Moscow is one of the most highly surveilled cities on the planet, yet despite there being a police department within the Crocus City Hall buildings, and that the RosGvardia military base for the city is located 4.4km away... it took 90 minutes for the authorities to show up. I'm sure its nothing.
  2. Meh. Its something like day 8 or 9 of reports showing these "Banderite" sympathising Russians shelling Belgorod. Impossible to say how this will end up, but it seems the strategy is to take the fight onto Russian soil.
  3. One account on twitter that I follow has regular updates and translations from various Russian media, including Telegram sources, regarding the ongoing activities of various anti-Putin Russian forces, particularly in the Belgorod region. The account is clearly pro-Ukraine, and I've no way of reliably verifying his translations, so take them however you wish. https://x.com/igorsushko/status/1770543957963120686?s=20
  4. I think at Lundstram's age we would surely just be looking at a one or two year extension only? That seemed to be the model for Arfield, Jack, McGregor and one or two others in recent years. Saying that, I could well see that he wants to secure a long term deal and that might mean him moving on.
  5. Hibs have a cheek to complain with the way the kettle away supporters and delay entrance to Easter road. There’s a serious accident waiting to happen there. I’m only surprised it hasn’t already happened.
  6. Don’t worry. He’s working with Jeff Linton on that project. I’ve heard good things.
  7. Silva here too. Just thought he was the difference when it came to the goals, he was a constant threat and did a mountain of running.
  8. Agree - 3 x tough fixtures. Going to need a player or two to show up with some extra quality in the final third of the pitch. I fancy Dessers and Fabio to show up well though, and its about time we had a few cameo goals from Roofe.
  9. It does strike me that the industry and battery capacity are on the verge of changing the dynamics of buying patterns. Once you get cars that will have a real-life range of 300-350 miles, the case for electric becomes a lot more attractive. As a for example, you could make it to the south coast of england from central belt Scotland with just one re-charge. The main limitations are price, electric is pricing comes at a premium; and charging infrastructure - particularly in more remote areas, but also capacity on main road arteries. I expect that the tax collected from company cars must be diminishing significantly, to the point were a near-future Chancellor will look to equalise the benefit in kind calculations.
  10. Whilst company car tax incentives are structured as they are, a chunk of the market will continue through fleet purchases. The car market is taking a downturn generally though. The uptick in the second hand market saved them and gave them a boom period post-Covid whilst interest rates were still low...
  11. The difference in him since those first few games of the season is incredible. He was lumbering, lacked sharpness and confidence. Now he's the complete opposite, albeit he has a bit of the Kenny Millers about him when he is 1v1 with the keeper and has time to think.
  12. Super Jack Butland in goals! Without that save we were dropping points.
  13. Was always the fear in advance that we concede the first goal as it plays into the hands of Killie's game plan perfectly. Thankfully it happened early enough in the game that we were able to turn it around. Credit has to go to the players for adapting, albeit some better than others. For me the swap of Dessers for Silva was key. Too many balls in the first half were going long into Silva who either wasn't getting on the end at all, or was outmuscled. But it was the 3 bits of quality in relatively short order that won the game. Butland's save, then then two goals. Clement earning his stripes yet again by making the changes necessary.
  14. That makes no sense whatsoever. But you crack on too
  15. Crack on and make up your own mind. 🤜
  16. “Ivan Katchanovski is a falsifier of the contemporary history of Ukraine” https://ivan-katchanovski.blogspot.com/?m=1 wot mean?
  17. A fast start and another early goal please Mohamed Diomande!
  18. Terrific first half. Finding a new gear when in front, is exactly what we all wanted to see. More second half please!
  19. Very cynical, but given their ongoing use and adaptions (i just read about the Russians creating cope cages), it would seem they've a way to go yet before they are obsolete.
  20. I'm not a military man, but if that is true, why are they being used at all?
  21. There are reports of Abrams now being used. I can only assume that the Ukraine forces needed some training to adapt to them, or that there was some other hold up in terms of spare parts/weaponry needed for them to function that was delayed by the (so far successful) attempts to thwart the Ukraine bill in Congress by the Maga cohort of the Republican party.
  22. Keep it tight in Lisbon, go for it at Ibrox! We've a decent record vs Portuguese sides. Lets go!
