Let's all stay positive as best as we can whatever is said. We've got so far and many things we're all doing right now is essentially next to being out doing things we once did previously. The only thing that makes me want this announcement to be unresticted as soon as possible is the thought of being able to do multiple FG meet ups with the rest of you lot. I know this boils down to second jabs and the success rate of those so hopefully my second jab will be brought forward as my first jab was on Saturday and then my next is 3rd September.

Lockdown easing delayed by 4 weeks in the UK. Annoying but it had to be done and it was scary to think we could've been back on course for 100,000 cases a day by mid-July. Hopefully this nips it in the bud once and for all and we can finally get it under control. I want everything to be back to normal as best as possible before the football season starts. India should have been red listed weeks before it was but as usual a week or two late has cost us severely going forward.

Personally it was a near perfect game given the 28 degrees heat and the first game of the Euros is always, not to mention it was against the World Cup finalists. They looked composed and it was more a case of England containing Croatia and making them look poor rather than Croatia being poor themselves. We took control when we wanted to and let off the pedal to get the right breathers in. If all that bothered us was a 30 yard shot from Modric at 20mph then I think you can say that was a huge job well done. He might've not been in the game much but he still did the things we needed him for in the game. He put Sterling through early doors for a great chance, he held the ball up and drew in fouls a few times yet again (one of the best at doing that) and he had that great chance, albeit he had to stretch for it late on in the second half. They'll definitely be other games where he'll be more pivotal but today was more about that midfield breaking the game up and the defence looking very assured. I wasn't much of a fan in the early days for Kalvin Phillips but even I can admit that was Leeds hate fuelling it - he has a very humble side to him and he is very composed on the ball, as was Rice when we needed someone to tuck in the hole to nab the ball back. Great start, was ace to watch and let's hope we can keep the momentum building.

Described as Skyirm in space. They dropped a teaser trailer yesteday and the release is a very long way off. Feels like this game has been in development for an eternity now I'll keep my eyes on it but I still can't believe we haven't had any gameplay footage yet.

I thought this was gonna be a free event - I didn't realise it was a full price standalone title. I think this may struggle despite Ubisoft attaching the Rainbow Six name to it. They've had a terrible E3 really

Bit late but at least this good news for Overwatch 2

Fuck Spain. That is all.

Football, what football?

What always suprises me with Overwatch is that with it being backed by Blizzard, and the ridiculously huge Overwatch eSports league that is across the world, why they can't do cross progressional at the same time? Don't get mne wrong, great to have some crossplay options but i've always believed that crossplay isn't actually the huge issue people have, mainly because as soon as its mentioned people immediately turn it off as they want stable games over playing with other platform players. However, cross progression? Hell yeah, cos then there is incentive to try out PC with your PC mates without the need to grind the levels, and vice versa when you wanna chill with a controller and your mates on a console. Just some random 2p thoughts.

Yes! 😂😂😂

Scotland were a bit unlucky, we created a few good attempts in the second half. Had good spells of possession, but sadly couldn't do much with it. Czechs looked comfortable and I don't deny them the win. It's just disappointing after a 23 year wait to a major tournament. Their goalie made a couple of good saves and we hit the bar at one point. I liked that we tried and gave an effort to get back into it. We really needed something tho, a point would of been nice. Sadly in my opinion, Czech were our best hope of points. I believe Croatia and England are stronger teams. At least we made it to the tournament, it's great to be a part of it for a change. 🙃

Scotland 0-2 Czech Republic This was a tough game to call prior and I think a lot of people fancied the Scots under the circumstances but despite creating a few good chances, they were soundly beaten. The second goal from the halfway line was remarkable but I don't know what the keeper was doing. Scotland could've got back into the game but their finishing was incredibly weak and the Czechs held on comfortably in the end. What a goal

While this announcement doesn't really affect me I feel for those it does. Buisness that had to plan to open next week now have the rug pulled from under them at the 11th hour. Also people seem to think, wrongly, it will be 4 weeks then yay were good to go, at this point I don't believe a word of it. At some point they have to give a definitive cut off point, plant the bloody goalposts in concrete. Also what's the point of briefing dates if this shit is constantly leaked through the media. One thing moving forward I feel is imperative is no more lockdowns.

6/13/2021 Workout MMA Thoughts: Apparently, the stress of getting through my work's board meeting last Friday took such a mental toll on me that I couldn't muster the motivation to go to the gym. Which was fine. But, I questioned on how much damage I did to my little amount of stamina I had gained by not really being active for 2 weeks. So, here we are at session 8 with Jonesly. I think it's 8. My calendar says eight. But, I'm not entirely sure lol. He tells me, "For today's session, not only are we keeping up with the intensity, but I'm going to start teaching you clinches." My response, "Oh joy! The part of martials arts that I actively try to avoid!" I don't intentionally mean to make him laugh throughout our sessions... I just do. But, before we got to clinches, we had to do 10 rounds of combos with only 30 seconds of rest in-between each 3 minute round. Oh, and fun story. He didn't actually tell me we were going to start getting into sparring. Which, again, fine, but then I want to be able to throw things when I want lol. I did enjoy the session yesterday. Punches, elbows, kicks, knees, blocks, and checks. I don't necessarily do well with slips to begin with. Unfortunately, my initial training has always been about countering. So, it's always a block or a check to move to a disarm or elbow or take down. Need to work on my slips. As for the sparring, I feel most... alive when I spar. Reacting to each situation, picking up the tempo, feeling each move connect, some odd satisfaction when I block or check and move to throw a kick or elbow. Then it was onto the clinches. I am highly uncomfortable with close quarters combat. It gets nasty. It can trigger my PTSD. But, for the most part, I just hate when we get to bending joints in ways they aren't supposed to bend lol. We started with a common self-defense move involving grabbing the head, how to counter and position yourself to break the hold, create space, then create an opportunity to hit back. This is probably where the work is going to be in sessions 21- 30 for me. The MMA session is what I needed to get re-motivated to work out for the week instead of giving into skipping again. So, here we go for another week!

Mini fridge coming

Todd Howard be like ''Starfield is 16 times the detail of Skyrim'' then we find out the game runs on the New Vegas engine🤣

I watched the Xbox/Bethesda show live and was hoping for some proper info on this game. Didnt really get much at all. As it stands, there's not really anything to say other than at least they're trying a new IP and hopefully on a decent game engine.

Holland vs Ukraine was a belter last night! Not sure how the Dutch salvaged 3 points from it, the Ukraine keeper was immense in the first half. Such a shame they couldn't get a point. Ukraine looked very dangerous on counter attacks.

Froggie, send me a PM and I’ll try and do it tomorrow mate....it’s “datfroggieguy”?

Agree with you all but I don’t like the passing back to the keeper who has to clear under pressure. Jordan is a reasonably good keeper but I prefer Henderson

Not only did my poor dogs get told they couldnt take part, but I also drew Finland and North Macedonia. Thanks Tom!
