  1. Different League: The Derry City Story on BBC 2 last night. Got a surprise when a young looking Sven Gorran Eriksson popped up. https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m000vcdr/different-league-the-derry-city-story
  2. Mourinhio OOT Some rumour about im refusing to take training in a protest about the superleague plan Shall just head down across to a bookies website to see what the odds on the scottish red-tops running a story about him and the Tic job
  3. I know im not the most avid football fan but this premise sounds so fucking boring. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/56794673
  4. Fixed it for ya
  5. Arsenal showing SEVCO how its done
  6. Maybe he will start by playing players in their strongest positions?
  7. Came in on this late but Im sure I saw the PSG goalie run into the back of his own defender and end up getting a free kick despite there been no munich players near either of them. Loathesome club and I won't be surprised to if I see Tic & Sevco goalies adopting this tactic
  8. Squeeky bum timer at both ends of the table Rules: 1. One name per points tally for the season, first come first served! 2. Only allowed to change prediction until closure of January transfer window as along as it is to an empty tally. 74 - MBT 73 72 71 70 69 68 - danthedon 67 - RicoS321 66 - Manc_don 65 64 - Wee Toon Red 63 62 - BigAl 61 60 - Jute 59 58 - Elgindon 57 (fourth place & European football guaranteed) 56 55 54 - Tom_Widdows 53 ------- Previous Champions: 2009-10: Dave_min (41 points) 2010-11: BigAl (38 points) 2011-12: Snapper (41 points) 2012-13: Tyrant (48 points) 2013-14: 2014-15: Dandy (75 points) 2015-16: Dandy (retained due to no correct scorer) 2016-17: Rico (76 points - Flawless Victory. Nothing questionable about it at all) 2017-18: Tom (73 points) 2018-19: DantheDon (67points) 2019-20: No winner - DantheDon retains title following an independent inquiry
  9. Its grim in there Not quite as grim was watching 10mins of the game and not being able to recall a single dons pass inside the st johnstone half
  10. DMX - 50 Heart Attack
  11. Presuming Hendry cant play so that reduces the chance of a dons goal by a further 302%
  12. Seems bizarre when Lennoxtown and Cormack Park will surely be available But when does anything with the SFA ever make sense
  13. Presume the Algarve trip is to help aclimatize to the scorching temperatures of Euro 2020
  14. And Yugoslavia were twice the 4th best team in the world (two world cup semi finals) and twice the 2nd best team in Europe reaching the european championship final twice. Croatia, Bosnia, Serbia and Slovenia have all played at major tournaments and North Macedonia will be at Euro 2020 this summer. Montenegro reached the playoffs for Euro 2012 losing out to another supposedly 'fairly new' country the Czech Republic Kosovo reached the playoffs for Euro 2020 losing out to North Macedonia. That part of the world has a proven record in international sport. Frankly its lazy and patronising to label any of the former eastern block countries as not good enough for international football. 7 world cups and 7 european championships since the break up of the USSR, Yugoslavia, and Czechoslovakia . With the exception of Montenegro (2006) and Kosovo (2013) none of the countries from the eastern block are 'fairly new' to International Football
  15. Thats it confirmed now https://www.afc.co.uk/2021/04/01/allan-russell-joins-new-management-team/?fbclid=IwAR2vM7gcqE8EqA1oNXauakiHOTCCH__GHqZi3eTN6G9Rn1xdqEMR8nDnFhA
  16. I just find it amusing that no one bats an eyelid when the Croatians beat the Germans (well not since 1998) but when their fellow former Yugoslav republic neighbours North Macedonia (previously FYR Macedonia) do it suddenly its a shock
  17. Which one of those nations is fairly new?
  18. Visqueen is a company that makes various tanking, gas protection & damp proof membranes. Not sure if they will guarantee their product with the method you are proposing but best of luck with the project
  19. Finally get a goal? Much like Kris Boyd in a Scotland shirt
  20. If yer going with concrete put the DPM under the slab so it stops ground moisture at the first hurdle and protects what is the main structural layer. You can then fix battens/ posts etc into the slab without damaging it - DPMs should never be fixed with nails etc as these lead to tears effectively making it useless.
  21. Well given the questions were given to him in advance that wouldnt surprise me
  22. Think we need a bit more info. Is the shed bolted to the slabs or held down by its own weight? By slabs do you mean paving slabs similar to those used to make paths, and if so were these laid specifically as a based for the shed or were they there as a patio? Is the area around the shed flat, or are there any slopes falling towards it? My initial thought is to move or carefully dismantle the shed and put down a minimum 150mm thick concrete slab with suitable Damp proof membrane on 50mm sand and min 150mm sub-base/ well compacted hardcord. If you want to insulate it put minimum 50mm PIR rigid insulation (kingspan Thermafloor or similar) under the slab with a polyethene separation layer between them. This will help protect against frost Area of the slab should be slightly larger than the shed to give you room for error and ideally the fininshed slab level should be above the external ground level (say 50mm step). Found this video on Youtube and there seem to be a fair few others. As for insulating walls this can backfire if you are not careful particularly as its a metal structure. You could find the retrofit insulation increases the condensation build up leading to rust and corrosion. Theres lots of talk about the benfits of retrofitting buildings to improve energy effiency but not alot of this warns of the consequences of getting it wrong. Seen cases were people packed their lofts with extra insulation only to find their ceilings turning black because they hadn't put in tile vents to maintain the required cross flow ventilaiton. If the orginal building isn't designed to be insulated to modern levels, doing so can go spectacularly wrong. Personally I think if you are really serious about using this for a gym you might find it cheaper in the long run to buy a new shed which comes with insulation already built into the roof and wall panels.
