I'd go back further. When the Dems decided NOT to run Biden but went Hilary. I'm convinced Biden wins in 2016 and the Trump cult is abated. Biden wins again in 20, we're not in the abyss we are now.

Not of yester year, but I think if the recipe changes it counts right? After looking up Lutz's contact deets for OD, I found out that Penguin chocolates are now chocolate flavour coated rather than chocolate coated?!?

Finished 1-0 to Boca. They made hard work of it. Plenty of the ball but rarely worked the Deportivo keeper. Always sounds like great atmosphere at La Bombonera.

Is there a place for Aouchiche in the midfield as the hardworking battler or is he too soft and similar to others (and crucially not ours or likely to be). I’ve probably answered my own question there to be fair. As you were

0-0 at half time in Boca game. Some industrial tackles as usual.

Come to that conclusion a few years ago now. Take each day as it comes and enjoy it as much as you can It's the young I feel sorry for most. What a midden we are leaving behind for them and it's not going to get any better.

I've just come to the conclusion these days that you need to just take every little bit of joy you can find in this life. Causes are folly and usually take from you in some way, shape or form (though as football fans who are we to judge?) The rich will always exploit and the poor will suffer from the exploitation and it's not changing in our lifetimes. The planets probably fucked and at some point ww3 is going to hit so we have that to look forward to as well. There is literally nothing you, I or anyone on this board can do about it. America was fucked the moment Biden decided to run again if you ask me. It meant there was no Democrat selection process and Harris was fucked due to her association with the previous term when parachuted in. If Harris had somehow won it would have been by microscopic margin. Trump and Maga would have kicked off and America would have torn itself apart. Would possibly already be in civil war. Trump wins though and does Trump things...... I can understand why many think civil war seems to be in the post. Had the Democrats actually gone through the nomination process because Biden had not decided to pursue a 2nd term I think Trump could have lost. They would have been able to put forward someone who was untainted by the previous administration and possibly even fit to stand for president and it's been a while since you could say that any candidate was. Well done Joe

Roma awarded a ridiculous penalty for handball when striker pushed the defender into ball. 1-1.

Saw up to half time and not sure how it was 0-0 at half time. Roma well on top. Just turned it back on and surprised to see Milan 1-0 up

Conditions weren't exactly brilliant for that kind of play either.

Roma battering Milan but yet to score as we hit half time. Good watch, would recommend

I agree for what it's worth. I guess it's because they are supposed to be "one of us". Similarly, we get news about stabbings in London or whatever, which have zero bearing on the North East of Scotland. There is a hierarchy of news, and US events are high up in that hierarchy for the reasons others have stated. I don't think it's the coverage that it is the issue, but the fact that we feel the need to amplify it and are required to have an opinion on it. It's a fairly sordid habit, of which I too am guilty. In the end, it doesn't matter. We can't fill ourselves with grief for the deaths and oppression of people across the globe, it's silly to try. That we/me pick and choose who we attend to shows its absurdity. We can have no bearing on the outcomes of Yankee Doodle land. It doesn't deserve our outrage.

You obviously don’t sit near BigAl.

Even American snow is news over here, no way were they interested in our snow.

I really wish it wasn't. I really wish Rapey's antics could be teated like all the other dictatorial, third world failing states. Sadly the UK in all its post-Thatcherite, post-brexit vulnerability, has chosen to tie its excerable economic future almost exclusively to this basket case. That's why it is news over here.

This will blow your mind but the exact same folk making a cunt of it over there, are trying to import it here

David Sylvian and Ryuichi Sakamoto - Forbidden Colours

I never saw him during the game, but who was the dodgy looking character, in the Main Stand, who Martindale went to sit beside, after his red card. Haven't seen a sheepskin coat and shades at a football match since the 1980s.

You don’t think putting wife in inverted commas was edgy?

Really? Relevant facts might that they’re the world’s major superpower. That they’re English speaking and lots of us have relatives there. That they’re supposed to be a beacon of democracy. That societal developments there often seem to follow here? And conversely that only 50% of them have passports (a record high)? Don’t you want to live in a country where the populace take an interest in world affairs?

It looked to me like he was in acres of space, but was also inexplicably making the pass hard for the defenders by standing behind the line of the attacking player. If he'd just taken a few steps back, they'd have had a far less risky pass along the ground.
