  1. Osint seem to be a reliable set.
  2. https://news.sky.com/story/man-charged-over-graffiti-on-sir-winston-churchill-statue-in-parliament-square-13513201 Dome confusion here. Just who did it?
  3. They already have them according to one report this morning. 2000km range.
  4. I've been hearing them over the last week too. Wasn't sure if they were fighter types, or lone range refuelling jobs. Said to the wife it didn't sound like a normal commercial aircraft.
  5. You're assuming he told his mum the truth, and all of it. He hasn't told anyone else all of it, and it's taken revelations, accusations and investigations to get this far. Years after her passing. Without knowing exactly what he told her, or didn't, it is somewhat remiss to make too big a judgement about her.
  6. Seems that pretty much every team we face at the moment is in reasonable form. Blackpool less so, but it is a derby.
  7. Indeed. Was just checking that your "more than 4m", was for everyone, not just Ukraine. Would imagine there are umpteen millions being made per month at the moment- understandable of course- but how many will become outdated and ineffective through technology improvements, before nations get chance to use them? Really getting into sci-fi type stuff now. "I drone"
  8. Seen a bit of the ginger fisherman. Quite a few decent fishing ones.
  9. Just over there? Figures for last year show around 200,000 plus per month. So some more scaling up required to hit almost 400,000 per month. All whilst Russia is trying to hit there factories. Some going that, especially if they have now exceeded that.
  10. Absolutely. Important to understand why they're not, and not live in denial.
  11. Woah Hoss! Hope you just nipped the tops off.
  12. This one isn't of their bollocks claims unfortunately. Does seem that scientific observations are warning of it. Whether it happens here though, is unknown. Won't be firing up the barbecue just yet!
  13. Last figure I heard was around 9000 drones per day being used. Iirc, the want to produce around 4,000,000 units per year. Add to that any imported ones. Only question is can they produce/buy enough explosives to go with them! 😀 Their target of 50,000 dead Russians per month may well be achievable. Saw one short film where they estimated that drones are only effective in around 10-25% of cases, as many are lost to gunshot fire etc. As around 80% all deaths are due to drones, taking the worst case, that's 40,000 killed by drones, at 10% efficiency. In other words 400,000 drones per month! Last figures I saw were around 35000 killed in December (May have been January), which would tie in approximately with around 9000 per day, at a bit over 10% efficiency. Horrific really, when industrial killing boils down to upgraded "boys' toys", and their production rates. Do you own shares in your own employer?
  14. Sheehan was injured some time after. Others came in, just as I said above, earned their place, and deserved to keep it. It is therefore essential to generalise- I have said above no one player is so key- as the players are indeed inconsistent. That generalisation, over a long enough period, shows that reoeated changes don't help. It a team is repeatedly failing to convert chances, then surely play the ones that have nevertheless scored the most. Especially when it is decided to cross the ball more.
  15. Question though- would we have been further behind beforehand if he'd started? We will never know, but we managed to stay in it. I don't see any one midfielder having such an effect as to change the overall pattern in that game. We've seen plenty of other aways too, where we just haven't been quite good enough over all, irrespective of who played. Perhaps it suited him as we were going to go on the front foot for the equaliser. Similarly, they were perhaps looking at keeping it tight and taking to one nil. Can spin it whichever way we choose, but we'll never know either way, which makes changes like Saturday all the more baffling. At home, needing the win, plenty of crosses in, but only one man there. Out of our 4 leading goalscorers this season, only one was on the pitch.
  16. All change, for now. Fuckin mozzy had a go at me last night as I was going to sleep. Bumble bees today, a shrub in leaf, down to a long sleeved shirt- no jumper, fleece nor coat required. A couple of days ago, it was cold and wet. Remarkable really. Yet, we may be fucked over shortly. Second such article that has appeared. https://beaconwales.org/24-167536-magnitude-is-almost-unheard-february/
  17. Sheehan would have been lost at Lincoln. They were simply a better team, and still are, as the table shows. Barnsley and Blackpool show a bit of frailty in the team's mentality. Barnsley's first was a freakish deflection too. Sheehan wasn't present in one, and was in the other. The one he wasn't, we still won, and saw the game out relatively comfortably. The one he was, we didn't. We don't have any one player that is good enough to have such a massive impact in his availability or not. We do have a decent squad, and by design or necessity, got a formation that was working. Now SS has got the bingo machine out.
  18. Don't disagree with that- he didn't cover himself with glory.
  19. In one. Irrespective of what folk feel about Sheehan or anyone else, why change a successful formula? Didn't improve us. Reward players who are doing well, and make others work hard and take their opportunity when injuries etc allow them back in.
  20. No idea. They do seem to like to keep injuries under wraps though.
  21. Dempsey should have played alongside EE, as he had been doing previously. 2 up top. Results were good.
  22. I'm not sure the exact wording of statements years apart means much. There was simply a big fall out, with repercussions. Even bigger shame that their friendship was broken, and they couldn't "separate" professionally, whilst remaining buddies.
  23. Weighing up his style, and imagining how things would work in the Whitehouse, I'd say there is virtually no chance it was Trump.
  24. Aye. SS commented that we put loads of crosses in, which is good, but begs the question; why not play two strikers then?
  25. Perhaps so, though I wouldn't feel comfortable taking his word as gospel. Either way, as before, it was still Megson's responsibility to ensure that that prioritisation happens effectively. In other words, think how he would personally feel, had his manager removed his chance of playing in such a European game. Assess the damage to morale and subsequent league form. Etc, etc. It caused no end of angst amongst the squad and fanbase. Shocking management.
