BBC News - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/crkm284yp1jt Former SNP leader Alex Salmond dies - BBC News Only 69. Bit out of the blue.

Seems to have been confirmed now by all the major news outlets. Awful news.

I'd sack him at HT after that. I appreciate we've made changes for a cup game v a lower league side, but he's still very cautious in his tactics and clearly doesn't understand his players attributes.

Yeah pretty sure it is unless there's an identical one somewhere else.

Moved to St James' Park to be played next week

No we won't!

There's no angle that conclusively shows it onside, or offside for that matter. The only one with an good angle was the linesman and he got overruled. It reminds me if the Newcastle v Arsenal match last year when the winning goal was looked at for the ball potentially going out and then a potential offside, and the a potential foul. The foul is subjective, so no issue with that, but the ball going out and the offside aren't subjective, they are absolutes. The ball is either out or not and you are either offside or not. But they couldn't get a conclusive angle on either. What's the point of VAR if we can't get definitive angles for these decision that have a definite answer? You see those tracking cameras that run down the 100 metres track during the race, surely we can use something similar to that to always get the best angle at any ground. You can be using a camera placed 20 yards behind play.

Thought we had these semi automated offside now, whys it taken so long.

There's a time to be greedy and time to not be greedy. Kane scores a lot but he also picks the wrong option a lot too. The first goal is a prime example of where he should be selfish. No need to pass there and even though the shot is low percentage there isn't anything else he can do unless he turns back. The other examples, where he's got a simple pass on and blasts a long range shot at the defenders arse who's stood a foot in front of him, or when he's on the edge of the D off balance and decides to take a shot and fall over instead of off loading the ball or drawing foul, those are bad examples of being selfish and he does that frequently.

The strike from Kane felt like a Kane we hadn't seen for England for a while, shifting the ball and just leathering it past the keeper. Sadly we also saw straight after that we saw the side if Kane where, with Saka in acres of space decides the best option was to shoot from 25 yards and straight at the defenders arse, and the doing the same again when wildly off balance. An on form Kane is undoubtedly a deadly striker, but his decision making is ****ing horrendous at times.

I think all delivery companies have issues. The woman who delivers Evri round here is great, but before her whoever it was was awful. Not had much issue with Amazon. DPD have on occasion tried to deliver the completely wrong address. But the worst round here is Royal Mail, and I've had others tell me of their horror stories from other areas. It feels like collectively, the vast majority of them are either lazy, uncaring or incompetent. Not all I'll add, but it feels like a lot of them. I've been sat at home and they haven't even rang my bell so I've missed the delivery, I've caught them getting back in the van with my package after not being able to deliver it to the wrong set of flats, clearly numbered 1-7, when i live at 9. I've had them leave stuff outside the main door of the flats and class that as delivered. Just in the street for anyone to pick up. Last week they put a red attempted delivery card in number 8s post box and then handed my parcel to them at the delivery office. Despite the card and parcel being addressed to me and they supposedly check ID. My mum, who live about 10 miles away, and under a totally different delivery office, had her post man throw a parcel over a 9 foot gate last week. It baffles me how some of them think the behaviour is acceptable.

Was in Waterstones earlier today to buy the new Prince Harry book. The assistant informed me that it was available in PDF file. I said “No thanks, that’s his uncle.”
