Dortmund needs to bring it home for Marco Reus’ sake. Plus I love seeing fans of that white team suffer.
I read MLS are introducing new rules next season and I think these are some good changes worth implementing:
Off-field treatment rule • If a player is suspected of injury and remains on the ground for more than 15 seconds, the referee will stop play and call for medical staff. The player will be removed from the field and remain off for at least two minutes for evaluation and treatment.
Timed substitution rule •Substituted players must leave the field within 10 seconds. If a player doesn’t leave within 10 seconds, the incoming player must wait 60 seconds before entering.
In-stadium VAR announcements •Referees will announce and explain VAR decisions.
I actually like the timed sub rule…some of these guys move too damn slow
100% agree. I know it’s a time wasting tactic and you kinda expect your team to do it to wind down the clock, but it can be so infuriating when it’s the other way around.
I’m all for having a set time and then it’s all square across the park. That being said, the crack down on time wasting in the PL is as effective as a clown at a funeral. If you’re going to crack down on timewasting during subs, do it across the park. Especially for some goalkicks…
Just finished “The Next Doctor” only to realise that there’s 4 more episodes afterwards. I kept waiting for him to need to regenerate but no lol. That next Doctor is brilliant though.
Which episode is that one? They all blur into one for me now xD
Get your tissues ready. Tennants last episode hit hard the first time I watched. I think it got me the last time I watched too
Yes but in comes the hurricane called Matt Smith
But, the new episodes with Tennant made me miss him even more
It took me a little bit to warm up to Smith. But what a guy. Tennant was my doctor, but it’s neck and neck between him and Smith
I feel like I’m the only one in the world, but my favourite is a tie between Eccleston and Capaldi! There isn’t a new who doctor I don’t like though. I would love to watch the old stuff, eventually.
I know a couple, but I think the energy and charisma of Tennent sold me. I think the production value and stories picked up, which helped too. Who knows what may have been if things went differently with Eccleston. He was treated quite poorly, which is a shame.
I was so looking forward to Capaldi, but I think the quality of the show dipped for me and some of the writing and story lines were meh. I admit that coming off the back of Smith and my expectations is probably why I didn’t take to him as much. Then Whittaker happened, and that killed all enthusiasm I had for the show. But, I’ve been slowly going back and rewatching them with my gf and some friends. With some time I’m hoping Capaldi will grow on me.
I definitely recommend watching some of the older stuff, although I think it’s quite dated xD. I used to watch the older episodes, maybe 15 years or so ago. Saw a little bit of Pertwee, watched all of Tom Baker and loved him (he pretty much set the tone for future Doctor"s being quirky oddballs), saw some Sylvester McCoy who I liked as well. Maybe little bits of Peter Davidson?
Its kinda cool to see how some of it connects to the reboot. Whether through characters, enemies or references.
Took me a long time to prefer Tennant to Eccleston, tbh, basically only when series 4 came along; Iwouldn’t be surprised if other people do prefer Eccleston. I think if Eccleston was Doctor for longer he’d easily be the best.
And then you see what the MCU did with him and weep.
It’s the Christmas special with Cybermen and a hot air balloon.
Leverkusen can’t keep doing this 😂😂😂 I dunno who sold their what to whoever, how are they doing this 😂😂😂😂
What an astonishing run… who knew Xhaka would play part in an invincibles like team, lol
4 more games to go, I think? Man… I hope they go on and do it.
I’m just a tad sad that it wasn’t with us
Rumours that we might sign Szczesny from Juventus. I’m not sure how practical that would be for anyone, but my heart says “hell yes!!!”
Mmm… I always had a soft spot for him and was sad he left. But yeah… I’m not sure on that one. Maybe depending on price, he could be preferred as rotation.
He’d probably be a good leader to have in that position in training and in the dressing room. Could even maybe look to join/be part of the coaching staff, if he’s that way inclined?
