I'm in Edinburgh, this week, trying to purchase 1 of thousands of unsold tickets to today's Hibs' Scottish Cup QF tie vs Rangers, but suspected, without the slightest benefit of the doubt, and despite substantial proof of my neutrality, of being a "dirty Hun". Personal intro & thread on Hibs...

3-0 defeat. :cry: I've watched Roma their last 3-4 matches... in better form than us at the moment. But I will be at the Amex for the home leg and fully expect JP to score 4 goals, including 2 pens. 😀 (And 🤞 Bart is our GK.) .

But... but... When in Rome....! :p So long as you don't root for the Leafs or Toronto FC, you're still okay with me! ;) .

Here's Why Milk Comes in Bags in Parts of Canada -- CBC Well, I've spent practically my whole life using milk bags in specially-made pitchers, so for the years I spent living in Western and Eastern Europe, and East Asia, I had to adapt to the absolute weirdness of bottles and jugs being slipped...

In the Senators' case, it's the Dairy Farmers of Ontario! But there is a quasi-cartel here in Québec. The Dairy Farmers' Union in this province is like the Teachers' Union in Ontario, lol .

US sports are practically owned by Gatorade and beer brands. In Canada, there is some effort to "healthify" our sponsorships. Here in Ottawa-Gatineau, our NHL Senators dropped the Coca-Cola Zone in favour of... Milk! But our other main sponsor is still McDonald's, and the lesser sponsors...

That's just it -- if you don't have the players to play possession-based football that results in actual goals, I suppose you turn back the clock and play more conservatively. Concentrate on defence, pound a long ball or counterattack on a good tackle or bad pass from the other team. It's not...

I've never coached soccer/football, I'm just a slightly more than casual fan. And I don't recall any NSCer suggesting how RDZ and the players could break down other teams' bus parking. The Senators have been bouncing between last (32nd) and 20th place because a) they haven't had a reliable...

He's using the same tactic no matter who he has available and whoever the opponent is. When your best players are out, you find a way to optimize the smaller and/or different tool kit of each replacement. If the only way to break a low block with your system is to have speedy wingers outrun the...

His reputation will regress if he can't show that he can adapt his tactics to the vagaries of injuries, and opposition strategies and line-ups. That's been obvious since December, when the benefit of the doubt he'd enjoyed during the previous 2 fruitless months gradually began to evaporate. I...

4 Québécois on the pitch last night for our 2-1 win in Dallas. Montréal-born and bred Jules-Anthony Vilsaint scored the first goal. Our Canadian-Québécois spine of Sirois (GK), Waterman (CB) and Choinière / Piette (CM) was steady at both ends. Local products always make dishes taste better...

It's as though we've sold him to Chelsea, already. .

RDZ seems more interested in leaving town with a cup to his name than another top 10 EPL finish --- Short-termism. RDZ seems to reallllllly wants to win a Europa match in his homeland --- Can't blame him, there. RDZ seems to want to stake his reputation on his system rather than an ability to...

Are you sure you want to watch? 🫣 .

We've said that about every bottom feeder since October, and Sheffield U have thus far been the only team to oblige. Time to start a 20-game defeatless streak! 🤞🍀🤞 .

About £900. That includes flight change fee, purchase difference for pricier flight, round-trip LHR-FCO airfare, hotel room, transport and meals. Basically for March 6 and 7, because I'm to be in Edinburgh March 9. . .

Short bio right here on NCS !! Home vs Marseille and March 14 vs AS Roma. Yes. However, I'm dropping $5,000 on my March 7-21 UK vacation for an approximate total of $20,000 on solo and family trips since January 2023 -- but this was a binge that I will never reproduce. And, you know... 4 kids...

D) I bought a ticket on the AS Roma website, but can't decide whether I want to spend $1,500 on a 3-day detour to Italy. New World problem, I know. .

Welp, it doesn't look like I can change my plans without incurring significant expenses, anyhow... I'd rather take a loss on the AS Roma home ticket I bought yesterday than spend an additional $2,000 for a 2- or 3-day jaunt to Italy. Maybe it'll mean 1 less bottle thrown into the away stands...

I've landed a ticket in Section 4AD, right next to 52A of the away stands. IF I go (there's an extensive series of boxes that need to be ticked, first), does anyone know whether an usher would be willing to let me slip in with the Albion tribe? .
