Have watched probably more than I normally do. Didn’t necessarily agree with the games going ahead but the quality of the sports on offer has been incredible. Love the track cycling, never fails to deliver. Think it helps that time zone wise it’s favourable for us.

Hearts have signed former Nix Cammy devlin. Gutted about this. Was a fans favourite and a great DM. Will probably fit their style . No nonsense type player.

I did actually think about it but folk seemed happy with the other thread. Will get back to normal routine next week ? we’ve also got the game moved from their home stadium to the national have we not? out bed Commute work 1-2, think we’ll lose this one. Hedges

How are we likely to set up for this one today? Any injury concerns from the weekend?

A few rumours going round that Hedges isn't signing a new deal and linked with Boro'? If he's going to walk away for free, we need to sell him now imo. Time for a replacement.

I’ve heard nothing positive about channel 7. They like Fox News essentially? we have sky sport here in NZ which takes feeds from across the English speaking world, as well as a few kiwi commentators. Been pretty good tbh, but there are some events which don’t appear on highlights. I’ve enjoyed them more than I thought I would this year. The velodrome last the last couple of nights was epic.

And if we do make it, we’ll probably end up playing Spurs ?

So the new era (domestically) is upon us. Intrigued to see how we set up, if it’s closer to the first game against the Swedes or something completely different. I suspect not; but hopefully JET is ok? Was mightily impressed with his play in the first leg and definitely struggled in the second. Any news on how he’s holding up? Plenty of weaknesses for good teams to exploit at the mo, but hopefully as the season progresses we can iron them out / mitigate them. tickets for the game were snapped up very quickly, so hopefully the few thousand that are able to attend make a decent racket. out bed bed Bed 2-1 dons, Ramirez and hedges

Only caught the second half but thought the red card was a life line. They were very much in the ascendancy and looked like they had more goals in them. As others have said though, we’re through to face the Icelandic's. Anyone know anything about them? Believe they’re fourth in their respective league and I know some teams from there give others a good game.

I will most definitely paying the exorbitant shipping fee for this one. al, don’t let your reputation beat you down ?

As suspected, it wasn’t just plain blue. I think it looks great

Olympic football has been really entertaining so far

Queensland gets good press here, probably Vic slightly less so but I think they along with the SA premiers seem to have done a good job. People first and economies will follow strategy has paid off, certainly has for NZ with ours being stronger than pre covid levels now. Of course no one can afford to buy now but hey Ho ?

Certainly most folk here think the UK are on a suicide run. Whilst our vaccination progress has been slow (due to unavailability and sticking with Pfeizer) most people think that our govt have taken the right approach. No one I know envies the UK right now. It's also worth noting that whilst Ozzie have lockdowns at the mo, Sydney's premier is the least sensible of the lot so it's hardly surprising they're fucked.

Bring him back and play him at LB?

Looks like there is some definition on the shirt so hopefully not just a plain blue. It looks sharp imo.

Definitely started this season brighter than we did the last! Strikers: Ramirez - 13 JET - 1 Watkins - 3 Midfielders: Besuijen - 2 Brown - 2 Hayes - 2 Ferguson - 16 Hedges - 5 McLennan - 1 McCrorie - 1 Ojo - 1 Jenks - 2 Defenders: Bates - 1 ConsiGOL - 1 MacKenzie - 1 Ramsay - 1 Goalkeeper: O.G: Edwards - 1

From what I saw (mainly around the Fergie ping) we looked very good and they looked very poor. But promising signs indeed! Be great if this is a sign of things to come.

4-2 in the end, some good goals! olywhites with their first win in Olympic history, beating South Korea 1-0 courtesy of a chris Wood goal. Deserved it from their second half performance

According to another mate he’s going to be a very good signing and was disappointed we didn’t get him.

Well, that's what you get for not playing Hernandez...

Definitely, he was a terrible on field captain. I'm really hoping that it helps regain his focus and performance levels.

Noticed they said he was team captain and Lewis is club captain? Is this just a PR thing?
