Alas, for the purity of the turf no Queensberry Rules lads left except good old Pep

Starting to wonder if we did do a hideous psychological number on him before he went tbh

Only when they lose, though. Wasn't so much an issue when they were sitting with 15 points after five games mourn when they're losing they only mourn when they're losing

Pottsy scored for Town as well, I see. Still a ways to go and still tight for now but Spartans starting to feel pretty much done. Not sure how many teams at the top end of Northern League Division 1 have the ground to play in the NPL - certainly Shildon were struggling when I was there last year, with a derelict and condemned stand and restricted access to pitchside

Barnes again 2

Have there been no "Isak has been a fucking dismal signing" hatchet job articles in the press yet? I don't think I've seen one, must be due by now

Bang on Ben

Bru-noooohhhh That DJ is honestly middle school disco standard at this point. Keep expecting him to play a bit Black Lace. "Sound your horn! Ring the bell!"

Mackems beayten. I can even get behind xG when it's them and it says 0.17

get fucked you absolute fraud of a manager

He forced Liverpool to buy him?

Hasn't improved matters so far tbh

This is what we need too many there for paydays at the minute imo We really needed it last season when we could have taken advantage of this season's chances of course, but whatever

Aye and it perpetuates the comical mackem hate campaign against Jimmy Hill that by now most of them aren't even nearly old enough to remember

Aye wrong Wickham ours has an extra H

Was all that lass who took the fall's fault obviously, she just didn't keep the board updated or they would no doubt have acted very differently

Aye it's phenomenal

I suspect the west coast of Ireland will probably be more of a different experience for you - as someone who looks onto a sea at home like you do, oceans have always fascinated me and seeing the actual Atlantic and actual Pacific were big moments for me even though they looked just like my own north sea But yeah the Scottish mountains are wonderful - huge by the standards of the rest of the UK but pretty small by continental standards, but they start at sea level on the west coast rather than from a high plateau like I guess you'll be more used to. There'll still be a bit of snow on them in May/June but most will have gone so you'd see them at their best - steep rock and scree with snow on the tops. The three archetypal Scottish mountains for me are Buachaille Etive Mor at Glen Coe, Liathach in Torridon and An Teallach near Dundonnel, all big stand-alone rock and scree hills around 1,000 metres and all requiring a bit of nerve and a head for heights to reach their best bits (and full winter gear if the snow is still frozen). If they take your fancy then the rest of the west coast will probably be to your taste as well. The Dolomites and the Alps are exactly the reason I feel like you might be a bit underwhelmed by the Scottish hills that are so dramatic to us in the UK and why I feel like the Atlantic coast in Ireland might be more of an experience for you, it's more likely to be something very different to what you're used to.

It's not that I don't like Edinburgh, I do It's just not that big and it has more of a big town feel than a capital city feel to me. I felt similar about Dublin. I don't mind cities like that - Newcastle is one too but I personally couldn't spend days in Edinburgh like I could in London and Beijing. The good bits of Skye - Storr, Quiraing, Elgol - are among the finest parts of the UK but they're a long way apart and the roads (and midges) can be purgatorial. Torridon in the north west Highlands is my favourite place on planet earth and I've spent years all over the Highlands climbing the mountains. The west coast of Ireland is less dramatically mountainous but it has better sea cliffs than Scotland and just a different feel altogether really. In the same way as I prefer the gentler countryside of Northumberland to the Lake District, I can easily imagine people preferring the west of Ireland to the west of Scotland. And ultimately you're from Italy, near the Alps and Switzerland the Scottish mountains hold their own in any company and are miles better than the rest of the UK, but they're not better than ones you'll know from home Like I say, though, you won't be disappointed either way imo

The train doesn't go through Glen Coe, it approaches Fort William over Rannoch Moor to the east. Glen Coe is barely wide enough for the road. IMO if you prefer the look of the scenery in Ireland, you should do that. Dublin and Edinburgh are both great but neither are (in my humble opinion, I got a lot of grief when I dissed Edinburgh in unpopular opinions) good enough to be the deciding factor in a holiday that also includes a tour of the wilder places.
