He seems to start with paper tickets then goes to a ST then in the last couple of weeks it’s been paper tickets again. 🤷🏻‍♀️ He only looks about 18 or so, not sure if he’s been borrowing a family members ST or something which could have enabled him to get to the away games too.

😳

Ffs, need to wake up a bit now 😬

👏🏼

In agreeance with many others, this is really distasteful. Having a close connection to the club like that surely you’d feel some kind of guilt? Not saying there’s anything wrong for acknowledging a professional broadcast (if it even was that) but this is a step too far.

Pretty much whats above but in order I’d say: Places: Tokyo/Kyoto as a whole, hard to say which was better because they’re vastly different. Tokyo because of its upbeat modern vibes, Kyoto because it was the opposite, tradition and although busy more relaxing. Tokyo Sky Tree, just to be able to see the vastness and density of the city, 360 views of buildings as far as the eye can see. The more you look around the more you notice things like football pitches on roof tops etc. Todai-ji Temple in Nara (1hr ish by Shinkansen from Kyoto), The sheer size of this temple was amazing, beautifully built too. There’s a giant Buddha statue inside and its hand alone is bigger than a human. Fushimi Inari Shrine, you can go off track in some areas and get away from the crowds. Arashyiama Bamboo Grove and the area around it was nice from what I recall; I spent the afternoon walking around a big river which had locals sailing through on boats amongst the hills. No real reason to go other than escaping the busy cities. Other places to look would be Hiroshima, can't advise though i'm afraid as I didn't visit. Mount Fuji is worth considering also.. General Experiences: The Food, all of it, even the basic stuff from 7/11 is incredible Using the Shinkansen/Bullet Train Rinsing all the drinks vending machines Again, the food The whole country as a whole really, and taking in how respectful Japanese citizens are, I honestly did not see one single piece of litter in the 2 weeks I spent there. They take so much pride in everything they do. P.s one more tip which will make a lot more sense when you’re there but when using the metro in Tokyo to find what ticket you need, look at the boards, find the station you’re currently in and then look to where you want to go, there will be a number (not to be confused with station number) and that is the fee you will need to pay for a ticket. Find a ticket machine, press the amount and off you go. Fairs are usually 150 Yen upwards. I spent ages trying to work it out, I had to find someone to help me eventually but once you know it's so obvious. Most things are written in English but be prepared as it's not everywhere.

Great news, you'll have a brilliant time, it's hard to find anything bad about Japan!

Just don't look anyone in the eye when you start singing "TEENAGERS SCARE THE LIVING SH*T OUTTA ME" may freak a few kids out

He should stay at home and be more like this bloke. Much more entertaining

Yes, they can. It's classed as dissent which covers words spoken and actions from a player. It isn't a common thing to see though as a referee you're taught to take the 'step approach' which is have a quiet word, if they carry on you'd talk to the captain, and if they're still acting like an idiot after those steps then it'd be deemed appropriate to caution them. It's like in youth games we're encouraged to use sin-bins for the same type of dissent, non-verbal examples could be someone kicking the ball away in protest to a decision you've made, then you'd show a yellow card and indicate they are to go to the the sin-bin. Verbal examples can be something as simple as "You're rubbish referee".

Absolutely fair enough that people are interested and there’s nothing wrong with a discussion based on facts but it’s not been that, it’s been rumours and sh*t stirring. Its clear we won’t know the full story so leave it be, nothing positive is coming out of it. We had a great win yesterday, can’t we all focus on that? Can’t comment on the Stringer situation as I’ve only skimmed over those comments.

Christ, why does everyone care about this so much?!? They missed a training session, may have done something they shouldn't have, great, end of. Hardly groundbreaking news is it.

And then dish out mince pies all individually wrapped in plastic, and free water, all in plastic bottles.

Watched it all, couldn't physically watch any of the animal related parts as that was far too grim for my liking but the rest, although still very disturbing is strangely gripping.

Either way it showed Ben that there is support out there (even though some seem reluctant to give it) whether he called for it or not. & I agree others have been too critical of him. The usual fans who sit around me are very vocal at times but they seemed a lot more forgiving tonight, hopefully it’ll stay that way whilst he gets back on track. Onwards and upwards 👍🏼

Liked the little push he got from Brendan at FT to get him to come over to the fans properly as to prove the point of “look, the fans are supporting you” A big improvement this evening, not quite there tho, a few bad moves but it’s a positive step forward nonetheless.

I wonder stat wise what LeBron's impact on each team he's played at is, Cavs were never really up there with the top teams, and neither were the Lakers but both have seemingly done a lot better since he joined their side, and similarly since he left Cavs they're right at the bottom of the conference table again. Is it mainly his doing or are there other team mates also contributing to their success?

Took me a little while to warm to that game too but I enjoyed it a few hours in. I felt like I spent so much time doing the side missions and even then I got through it very quickly. When you get to the end point it lets you know, it says if you want to do anything else story wise do it now as there's no turning back so you can spend as much or as little time on it as you want to.

Rough as hell and I’m only 30 minutes in

Heard good (but disturbing) things about 'Don't F**k With Cats: Hunting an Internet Killer' Will probably give it a watch in the week and report back 👍

Go on then, own up, clearly there are some closet fanboys around. Who are ya?

People and their weird lunch choices at work. Someone just had a ham sandwich with BBQ sauce and coleslaw.... I just don't get it. Edit: Thinking about it, it isn't too far off a pulled pork sandwich I guess, but yeah, I'm gonna stick to my point, they're a weirdo.
