  1. Who is this ref? He's fucking dogshit.
  2. Exactly, but unfortunately those are in short supply if the last few weeks are any indication. I'll be more than happy with another season where we legitimately try our best on all fronts, hopefully finish top 7/8, and see some of the young talent we've assembled start to bed into the side. We're building something here, and that doesn't happen overnight.
  3. I appreciate the gesture, but I'm Irish and have dual nationality so I'm already well versed. Like I said, I'm pretty sure it doesn't apply to u-18. The athletic article summed it up quite well.
  4. Pretty sure that doesn't apply to under 18s, but I could be wrong. Found this... https://theathletic.com/3093862/2022/01/27/brexit-may-deny-irish-youngsters-a-clear-path-to-english-football-but-they-have-new-options/
  5. Brexit is probably more of a factor. English clubs can't hoover up Irish youth like they used to, so they go somewhere else.
  6. Next. He's a quality player and I'd have loved to see him here, but if he didn't want to join, move on. So much of our success recently is built on team chemistry, desire, and work ethic. Getting someone in who buys into that 100% is the priority. There are no shortage of options, and I trust Howe and Ashworth to make the right call. They've earned that trust.
  7. Interested in everything. Just me. No dates are a problem.
  8. I'm living vicariously through Mike's adventures.
  9. Yeah, I'm definitely out. My sister crashed her car, drink driving, and her life is in shambles. Nobody hurt, thank fuck. Gonna be staying out with her for a while to settle her down and help her out. Puts any slim hope of me wrangling away to bed. I'll be watching the game from her sofa.
  10. Had it been last week I could have tried, but shit happened last night and life is kinda up in the air right now (my sister had a bit of a breakdown and got arrested for drink driving, now my folks are in full on panic mode). I'll have a clearer picture as the week progresses, but it's honestly looking unlikely.
  11. I was "busy" last week and completely missed this. Very tempted, but I don't think I can swing it. Likely going be sat at home, wishing I was over for all the craic.
  12. Grew up in a family of Liverpool fans. So, I hate Liverpool. Early 90s (maybe 91/92), my oldest brother went to Uni at Teeside and my folks went over to visit him. Somehow they brought back football shirts for me and my other brother. A home and an away shirt. Being the Liverpool fan, he was a spoiled shit about it and I now had two Newcastle shirts. Started from there. I've kinda grown into the misery that came after the initial highs, and I genuinely feel a deep bond with the club and by extension, the region. Shit's weird like that.
  13. Worried that the stamina drops off a cliff after too much longer. Hard to think two weeks of training can fix that.
  14. It was completely fucked, but it's only partially fucked now. It does seem to load, but it takes about a minute to open any of football/chat/games. Once it does, the individual threads all work as normal. If you back out and try again it takes another minute to load it up. It's random as fuck. I was always using tapatalk before, but I've got used to not having it now. If it's too much of a ball ache to get it working, cut it loose.
