A Horse Named Stranger

Yeah, but Kelleher is also sorta on the hook for Atalanta's first.

I would never make a joke about the death of an innocent man...

More like a lesson in how to put your chances away. This could/should've been a 2-2 or 2-3 game from Liverpool's perspective. Elliott was a bit unfortunate in the first half, when he double checked the goal frame with one shot. Salah should have scored and so should have Darwin.

I kinda enjoy it, when other people have DMC posting with his mullet-on-fire.

I assume this is the thread were we mourn the untimely passing of OJ. RIP Juice

Funnily enough, former ref. Lutz Wagner looked at all three scenes over at the kicker. Wagner himself is one of the guys responsible for training/coaching referees in Germany nowadays. The penalties. The handball. The ref. didn't look good there. There apparently was a second whistle by im as Raya was taking the goalkick, which might very well have caused some irritation with the players (they could've reasonably assumed, that he revoked his decission to restart the game). So by strict application of the rules, he could've given a penalty there. Which would've been an absurd call. Best thing he could've done. Explained to the players that he messed up, redo the goalkick and end of story. The Saka/Neuer dive/foul. Referee had followed a rather lenient approach the entire game. Neuer (tried to) move his leg back, and it was rather Saka, who initiated contact. Esp. with the overall lenient approach that the ref followed to not award a penalty was most certainly a justifiable decission. Kane forearm Yes, he looked where Gabriel was. He then tried to back into him, and did hit him with his arm/elbow. However, Kane used his arm as a mere tool (apparently ref slang) to get an unfair adavantage, and not as a weapon (a gain apparently ref slang) to actively attack Gabriel. Thus it's a yellow.

If Arsenal can survive the stench of that huge pile of shit named Piers Morgan, they can live with the small fart that is Keir Starmer.

7. Have some conspiracy nutjobs with no idea what they're talking about threaten him 8. Get some random wacko to drunk post the conspiracy on a fantasy board 9. Winning. JFC.

Well, they do what they did for a good part of the season, hope for some Sane brilliancy and that he can create some tap ins for Kane.

Ironically those very owners might give a toss. The entire point of sport washing is to create a positive image, so bread and cicrcus at affordable rates for plebs sounds like a pretty good way, outpricing them not so much.

Personally, I think Liverpool will go shopping for a DM and CB (or a player who can cover both). The CB will probably be higher on the list (at least that'd be my priority if I were their head of recruitment). Not a dig against Quansah, who has been a fairly reliable performer for them this year. The problem is that they have an injury prone Konate and an aging van Dijk there as their primary pairing - Matip's contract won't be renewed (injury prone player above the age of 30). If van Dijk gets taken out for the season by Pickford (or somebody else) again, they are in real trouble. I don't think a Thiago replacement is really a priority as Jones has finally managed to take another step up.

Yes, everybody loves Ted Nugent, the real treasure of Detroit.

Didn't watch the video, because I find her delivery (going by some other videos of her) to be so off putting, that it puts it on the brink of unwatchable. I will say a few words abouot academia in Germany. It is brutal for junior researcher. Essentially, jobs at University can be divided into Chairholders (Professors w. tenured positions) and the folks beneath. As you can imagine, there's only a fairly limited number of those nice tenured positions. Pretty much anybody else is on time contracts, and there you are sorta depedent on your superior's (chairholder) ability to acquire third party (research) funding (this is tied to their reputation, which increases with publications). If a project runs out, you hope your boss gets a follow up or another project (and it creates a certain dependency). Junior Professors are sorta in a weird position. They get the benefit of being tenured, but with very limited abilities to get research funding from the usual places. They have smaller staff (usually doctorates, not post docs). The post docs really hope, that they get appointed to a professorship (first junior and then a "real one elsewhere"). Oh, there's also the no-inhouse appointment rule to avoid academic inbreeding. So you graduate at a University, you continue to your PhD there, and work some more to get your name on research papers, and you have to apply at other Universities for a Professorship. In the 80s and 90s well into the 2000s this was probably a particularly bigger problem, since there's an entire cohort of professors that got appointed during the expansion of higher education (~1960-1971) a lot of them were appointed at rather younger age and it would take literally decades for them to approach retirement age and vacate their chairs. There are a handful of positions for PhDs, who are permanent, but they are super rare. There was one biologist, who was attached to Chair of Bio-Psychology/Clinical Psychology. He himself was super happy to have that position, as he liked doing his job (teaching and working on research), but was not that keen on writing papers (I think he put it that way, that he had as many publications as children, three. Among them his Diploma and his PhD thesis). He very much liked the distinction in the English system between researchers and readers. But in Germany you are committed to research and teaching. Needless to say, good teaching does not get you anywhere, research (publication does). Needless to say, being a good researcher does not prevent you from being a good teacher/educator. Most of the Profs I had infact were. But in other disciplines, Profs. apparently treat the teaching assignments more as a drag, that takes away time from their precious research. As for the tenured positions. There are also Profs. that really take life very easy, once they have attained their spot on the mountain (I know stories from the economics department of my alma mater about one particular example), which frustrates their colleagues and students alike. And those freeriding deadbeat Profs are pretty close to impossible to get rid off. Also from my alma mater (law department this time) they appointed a prof. well known expert in labour law, who happens to hold, let's say quite unsavourable democratic views. No idea, if they somehow managed to eliminate him. I assume as a legal scholar he probably knows what he can and can'T get away with. Edit: Nope, they were not able to eliminate the Law Professor. Also fixed a spelling errors.

Liverpool only have them self to blame for dropping points today. They should have put that game out of reach in the first half. Salah was arguably the main culprit. But old football trueisms if you don't take your chances, your opponent will. I understand the anger, but I think the Quansah rage is a bit displaced. He has played a really solid season overall. Dumb brainfart, could've happened to Arnold, or Konate or even van Dijk. Then Quansah's brainfart gifted United a goal out of pretty much thin air and that has breathed life into them. Mainoo's goal was really well taken, but defensively it felt like Liverpool lacked aggression/intensity whatever. . As for the penalty. I don't think that was particularly soft tbh. Liverpool fans would've had a more legit grievance if it had not been given. As for the drama, sheesh. Going by some of the doom and gloom posts you'd assume that Liverpool has been mathematically eliminated from the title race. They are merely behind on GD for now.

As fun as that is, Hankey probably has the dough, if he truely wants to. He just picked the one company of his that was not liquid enough. Whether he did this by accident or on purpose is another question.

Yeah, but then again, winning in the lottery is also not particularly likely, but it happens regularly, because a whole lot of people (or morons) play. To go back to our extra terrestrial progenitors shooting amino acid satelites/asteroids. If they sold enough lottery tickets (fired enough satelites, which were ofc called Saddlelites) there's a chance someone else won another jackpot, the Universe is full of planets (suckers who bought the tickets). If you consider us a jackpot.

As for the Wilky Way, just walk on it.

And they are really getting their moneys worth out of Havertz in '24. What I said about Mudryk. When you have functional team with a clear tactical idea and what a player's supposed to do, that helps a lot.

To add another factoid on that. Bob Bradley's assistant is his son, Michael Bradley. Who has played in quite a few countries across Europe. Netherlands, Germany, Italy. I'll leave out his short and forgettable stint at Villa. Pretty decent/okay player in his days.

To keep Florida on his mind. You can take a man out of Florida...

Why only Earth has succeeded? Habital Zone is a problem. You need a sun that has just enough mass and energy to keep water fluid without the gravitational pull of the bigger stars. At least to get our version of life. In addition this rock has had the fortune to have been hit by an asteroid early enough to have a relatively large moon (compared to planet size), which steadies things quite a bit. So this rock was a lucky hit, other satelites hit duds.

Surprisingly, City are right now struggling to take down Palace. City will eventually break them down, no doubt about it, but it's fun while it lasts.

Wasn't quoting the article, merely parroting what the folks over at MT said (namely Popok and Meiselas) said. Youtube has to be good for something afterall.

Candidates is back. Round One was all drawn (at least on the mens' side, the ladies are also playing had at least one decissive game with an upset on top). There was some action however. With Caruana missing a promising position by playing and exchanging rooks on f1. Vidit and Gukesh really had a go at it. Round two looks much more bloody. Naka is basically completely bust against Vidit. Caruana has a small pull against Abasov, and Nepo is also better against Firouzja. Losing with the white pieces would be really bad news for Nakamura. Gukesh also betterish against Pragg.

The Bonding company Hankey/Trump picked has another problem. They are apparently not liquid enough to cover the bond (they have assets worth around 120-130m or something, which is apparently less than 175m (math the chatterbox of sciences)). And they also didn't deliver GAAP to prove that they are not liquid enough to cover the loan. They will have to show up before Engoron for a hearing on 22nd of April. I bet he'll be super impressed by that.
