    [Other Sport] Official NFL Thread 2023/2024

    I'll be watching the Leafs tonight and having a look at the draft every now and then. The Bills are expected to trade with Arizona and take DeAndre Hopkins off their hands at some point tonight, I'll keep an eye out for that and am curious what the Bills give up to make the trade (second...

    [Other Sport] Official NFL Thread 2022/23

    I think they leapfrog the Dolphins and Pats this season... not quite enough to take over the Bills but they could/should make the playoffs. AFC east will be a great division to watch this year.

    [Misc] How did you react to the emergency alert?

    Wonder if they're setting you up for what we call "Amber Alerts" over here (do you get those already?) Emergency texts that go out to alert people to snatched children/child in danger scenarios "be on the lookout for a silver car leaving Brighton license plate _______" etc...

    [Football] Wrexham v Boreham Wood 6.30 today

    He's often mentioned over here as part of the group trying to buy the Ottawa Senators (NHL) I suspect he is using this as a learning tool for being an owner of a sports team. He's not a billionaire but he is worth a few hundred million... so not too shabby.

    [Albion] POTS

    Solly's been an absolute joy to watch this season, so many strong candidates but think Solly has elevated above them all.

    [Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

    Found this today on Reddit - a map of where the various units of both armies were last known to be https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=180u1IkUjtjpdJWnIC0AxTKSiqK4G6Pez&hl=en_US&ll=45.39449967480994%2C36.08446322072879&z=6

    [Albion] What should the club do about yesterday's game?

    Retired NFL player Marshawn Lynch would go to his media sessions and just say "I'm just here so I won't get fined" he refused to talk about the game or anything of interest. Brighton from top to bottom should do the same thing for the rest of the season.

    [Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

    Don't think it will start for a few weeks, probably not until May. Think you will see an increase in long range strikes behind russian lines to soften them up before the real counter attack. Still need time for the ground to firm up and there have been videos this week from Ukrainian soldiers...

    [Misc] Only in America - 26/10/23 another mass shooting

    They're really not, but the ignorant ones are the ones that make the news. They do have VERY strong opinions on things though.

    [Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

    I'm having a real hard time believing this tank will make it to Ukraine and then successfully drive how ever many miles it has to drive to the front without immediately breaking down. Russian soldiers are going to die of embarrassment.

    [Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

    A lot of Ukrainians are going to die from that tank...... die laughing anyway. When I was about 5 I made a tank from an empty shoebox and the centre of a toilet roll and it looked just like that.

    [Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

    I did say images were inevitably released by news agencies, but I should add that a lot of images/videos I saw early on were cellphone shots on Reddit taken by Ukrainians & Russians as the tank trains etc.. rolled through their villages. Tanks don't move stealthily through town, people get...

    [Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

    Weststander - one thing that my mind keeps coming back to is this... the Russians were not well prepared for the initial attacks, but they were able to get away with a fair bit. They didn't have enough food or clothing but that was okay, they took territory and ransacked houses and businesses...

    [Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

    I keep hearing this but I'm not sure I'm ready to believe it. I've yet to see satellite photos of masses of equipment near the border, or of masses of troops. These types of photos typically find there way into the various news sites at some time. We heard about and saw images of the...

    [Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

    I think so too. The fighter jet pilots will already be fighter jet pilots, they'll be upgrading and needing training but they'll be highly motivated and not starting from zero. Same thing for the tank commanders.

    [Other Sport] Anyone been to a basketball game in USA

    Just the Raptors in Toronto but I suspect it's similar. Beer prices that will make you give up drinking for the night, forced atmosphere from the venue (lots of music, t-shirt giveaway... etc). Generally enjoyed the evening even though I don't understand basketball and never will.

    [Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

    I think this was more about policy than the US sending actual tanks. The Germans didn't want to go it alone on the Leopard 2 tank decision as they know it is viewed as an escalation by Putler. They needed the US to pledge tanks first so that could join a movement rather than start one. The...

    [Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

    It's not getting them there, they have 56 planes that can transport 2 at a time each (apparently they're beasts to move). So they could be there quickly, it's the maintaining and training that takes time.

    Long old day in Buffalo today. We were beaten in every facet of the game, simply not good enough.
