Just witnessed one. Rory McIlroy completing the slam. Incredible drama.

It’s a beautiful day here, but with April’s showers in the post for next week. I’ve already spent over an hour tidying and watering the garden and getting pots ready for planting. Going to head out in a minute and do a bit more, but thought I’d have a quick look on THL and see what’s cooking. FFS! Surely some of you have better things to do on a Friday night or a glorious spring Saturday morning than come on here for this sh!te?

Had more sparrowhawks in the garden the last few weeks than I’ve had all winter. Don’t know where they go. Been a nest on a golf course 2 minutes from me for a few years now. Last Autumn there were 6 young birds kicking about together, I assume all fledged from the same nest. Quite a sight.

I don’t understand any of the intricacy or motivation of what’s going on. What I do know is where there’s chaos there’s cash to be made. I’d expect the ones making the waves, rather than the ones trying to react, will be the ones making the most. In all likelihood poor people across all continents will suffer as a result of the instability and uncertainty of what’s going on.., and by the time it all settles down, the rich will be richer still.

Best not to look if you’re not looking to take anything out any time soon. It’ll all right itself eventually.

Shame that. My favourite bird is the peregrine…, and I usually keep an eye on a couple of nest cams this time of year. Fortunately they’re nearly as common as crows these days.

Agree to an extent about best drivers and best cars but there remains a lot of variables. In my opinion Alonso is a better driver than Vettel, but has half the world titles simply because of the tools they had. I actually think that if you were to put Max and the likes of a prime Hamilton, Schumacher, Senna, Fangio maybe Prost, Stewart, Lauda, Piquet in exactly the same car, there would be very little to split them.

F1 is a motorsport rather than a sport…, so much of the success is down to the car. Granted it needs a great driver to get the best out of it, but for me it makes it nigh on impossible to determine who the best is, or was. No doubt Verstappen is a great in the making though, but the extent of his legacy will always be dictated by the car his team can put on the track.

Another memorable and iconic sporting moment that. Watched that game in digs abroad with a Geordie lad.,, who was absolutely frantic during the game and couldn’t sit down. I remember when the ref blew for the foul saying ‘Beckham scores this’.., and the rest is history. For me though (as a Scotsman) as good as the free kick was, Beckham’s performance that day was absolutely unbelievable…, covered every blade of grass, and was the very epitome of a captain who leads by example.

I’m in favour of extremely draconian punishments for all sex offenders, especially where kids are involved…, but the ‘level’ of deviance should come in to play also. Don’t know all the facts but read he was a trained ‘child protection officer’? Fcuking death sentence for me.

Was going to post this too. Amazing moment, Man U been my ‘English’ team since the ‘80’s. Remember watching this in a pub and the goal go in and my mates all jumping about and I just sat there almost stunned. Mate still ribs me about it till this day.

Know nowt about weight lifting but that’s what I’m talking about.., something that makes you feel like you’ve witnessed greatness…, and will live with you forever. Sport at its best.
-
Watched that live too, unbelievable grit to carry on.

Pretty sure the game wasn’t a classic but the moment was enormous. I was on holiday in the highlands with the missus and two very young kids, in a sweet shop where they had the game on the radio. I knew Murray was close to the finish line and so I apologised to my missus and set off at a sprint to a packed hotel bar at the other end of the village. I had to see it live. Incredible scenes in the bar.
-
I’m too young to have watched them live. There have been loads obviously but top of my head some of the best fights I’ve watched live might be Benn v McClelland, Morales v Barrera.., and a domestic fight between Jamie Moore and Matt Macklin.

The absolute genius of this registered with me immediately and before I seen all the angles.

Like a lot on here I love a bit of sport, and what I probably enjoy most are those precious moments which have the hair stand up on the back of your neck or get you up on your feet…, and where you realise that you’re witnessing greatness in real time. By greatness I mean not only an individual’s talent, but maybe a team that achieved immortality by doing something great. What are yours?

The Imitation Game about Alan Turing and breaking the Enigma code. Thought it was excellent.

A fair point but maybe the key word is ‘understandable’. Like I said, I don’t understand why someone who’d been raped wouldn’t go straight to the law and demand justice.., yet it happens. Al Fayed might have dozens of victims, there was a Chinese student recently may also have dozens. They can’t all be gold digging surely, so why don’t they come forward sooner? I also think it’s difficult for men to comprehend the effect rape has on a woman. They are wired different to us, and much more sensitive and delicate in their make up. My sister in law worked in a rape centre and some of the stuff

I’ve been sceptical in the past of women coming out with allegations of historic abuse, thinking why now, and not at the time? More recently, especially with cases like Savile, Barry Bennell etc. where maybe only a handful of victims came forward at the time, but the numbers of girls and boys assaulted ran into hundreds, even thousands, I realise that I really have no clue about the impact that kind of assault must have, or what courage it must take to call it out. I only hope it’s easier now. Regards Brand, he’s always been a dick, full of his own importance…, and never more so than with

Going to peak at 9’C here over the weekend with a strong Easterly, so it’ll feel bitter. Can safely say the BBQ won’t be needing cleaned.

Usually mid-April up here but the weather’s been fair if not still a bit chilly, so might be a few kicking about by now.

I agree that even engaging and giving oxygen to some of this lunacy should be avoided wherever possible. I pity those at the sharp end though, whether it be sportsmen/ women or the sports governing bodies having to deal with trans athletes, BLM etc. Careers, businesses, reputations all in jeopardy if you dare question the narrative of those forcing this sh!t upon us, and even if you wanted to keep quiet, then by not speaking out you’re accused of ‘unconscious bias’ and of being a trans-phobe, racist etc. The w4nkers and thought police peddling this sailed in under a banner for equa
