@Snowy said in Rugby or NFL:

A lot of the TMO interference would be solved if guys like Murphy stuck to “clear and obvious”. To me that means watching a replay at normal speed, can you see something worthy of reversing on field call? If you have to slow it down and watch it 5 times, it is neither clear nor obvious! Therefore the decision on field stands.

And if you need more than 20-30 seconds to make up your mind it should be ref's call

Edit, I just repeated TRs point 🙄

Watching the first one.
Matthew Ridge seems a little on the edge.

As they say Ridge is a bit Marmite.

I used to think he was a cock but I actually quite like him now, absolutely unafraid to say exactly what he means which obviously pissed lots of people off over time. He was a really good foil to Marc Ellis when they did that show together

Who is this @Stumped character?

Member since 2016 and no posts?

Show yourself!

(What were we saying about the lurkers first XV?)

Just keep the politics to the US politics containment thread. We don’t need that shit taking over the forum. Domestic terrorism comments, political opinions etc

interesting (and i found fun) video reviewing the US$3k cybertruck tent attachment

they reevaluate slightly negative opinions as user error....but having a hand pump to inflate the tent when the values is so close too a power outlet does seem like a real miss and surprisingly analog

im kind of coming around....if they ever do a 2nd Gen im sure it will be sick

the main ability i think he brings that we're lacking is timing, i know we talk about his ability to get a favourable bounce etc but he is very good as spotting where he will be needed and being on a players shoulder at full pace at the perfect time, i dont mean standing in the line waiting for someone to receive it, i mean coming from a long way back and seeing who will be receiving it in 2-3 passes time, thats an ability we could use to turn slow ball into front foot ball

@taniwharugby Yes lots of people will be harrowed by this for life.

I cannot understand why these poor decisions were made. My only guess is over-familiarity meant that the risk was undervalued. Like people driving worse in their own neighbourhood or from a personal perspective doing dumb shit in my home DIY that I would never accept at work. But I don't short-cut when I have responsibility for others.

I have a soupcon of sympathy for those being deemed culpable, as they will have to live with this for the rest of their lives, but at least they have a rest of their lives.

Some great advice in here

All of the above

Seems I'm the only person that feels Smith is worthy of a top 3 spot, and other than Clarke, he was the only guy left to not get a vote.

Youse are crazy!

he suffers from sustained excellence. His normal is massive for us - but he also isn't quite what he was.

How you'd vote for Taylor over Smith I do not know

Yeah, I get that - but I also thought his 1st half in particular was noticably commanding, and such a step up from his recent outings.

The other thing I always notice about Smith is how fast he exits the field after being subbed - he motors and looks fresh as a daisy like he hasn't just played 66mins of rugby!, Bloody show off

So after watching the video I can conclude we need to come down hard on all involved.

Footage is a but grainy but to me it looks like marshall arguing with foster and his assistants.

Fire them all.

And neither of them is as good or as functional as Spark Sport

I watched Spark Sport for the first time since the RWC when I registered again for the CL final. I can't comment on the UI as I didn't spend any time browsing but the PQ for the football wasn't as good as I was expecting.

I actually think it's dropped off - feels like they dropped back on the servers/bandwidth or something compared to RWC19

For iOS users here's a good summary of the new alert;

Barbara Krasnoff  /  Apr 26, 2021  /  tech How to use the iOS app tracking blocker How to use the iOS app tracking blocker

iOS forces new apps to ask permission to track you.

TL;DR; Always choose "Ask App Not to Track"

So far, 94% of users are choosing it.

If it's close to test match intensity, would a structure of fewer teams but more weeks off work better? Sounds like more recovery time might be in order for the NZ derby games, so if teams played fortnightly but spread out so every week had games, the player welfare would be better, and Sky would get a nice long season to sell to punters.

Tucker Carlson jumps the shark?

Listened in and heard 18-and-half minutes of Dunning Kruger ...

As much as I want there to be aliens ...

@kirwan The Batman once again raised a interesting point

I struggle to see how THAT Batman would work in a DCEU, how the more "real" detective type Batman would sit next to actual gods, really highlights that there really are two Batman's

@machpants he's got a PS5 for that.

And the MacBook can handle Minecraft so he's sisterly happy.

PS5?

🤮

That might actually be me avoiding work.
