Cork in Brisbane🇮🇪 🇦🇺. Will mostly comment more than post - Always about #MUFC #GGMU #FPL, Brisbane Broncos #NRL, Munster, Irish Rugby, F1, Playstation, running and nothing serious. Im not here to argue - just enjoy discussing different points of view

Anyone who says that was knocked out by Kennedy and should be a try to Penrith doesnt know what they want in the game. Keep the onus on the ball carrier to keep control otherwise we'll be arguing about whether the defender knocking the ball out or getting his hand under the ball #NRL #RugbyLeague
The Jillaroos dominate a historic clash with England, while Will Kennedy gets lucky in Las Vegas and Peter V'Landys makes a very confusing comment. Here are five quick hits from the rugby league carnival in Sin City.

So my guess is the ref called a pen for only what Maguire did and they missed of what de Ligt did. They never wouldve called a foul for de Ligt so not clear and obvious error. They can only look at Maguire and theres no way hes fouled him. Right decision made in a roundabout way

Manchester United survive a late penalty shout after referee Andrew Madley changed his mind after being sent to the monitor by the VAR.
Goals from Bruno Fernandes & Manuel Ugarte's first for the club saw Ruben Amorim's side fight back from 2-0 down at Goodison Park to earn a point against Everton.

Oof Im beginning to think #SurvivorAU might be a cast of characters more than players. There was a lot of amateur stuff going on on that Brains tribe tonight

Each season of #SurvivorAU I make a bet to win a croissant after ep 1 to pick someone to go furtherest vs my wife. This year, I landed on Rich. No idea why but I think the guy gets it. Wife picked Kaelan (poor guy got no air time - solid reasoning from the missus)

Hunt and Gosiewski never looked good enough last year but now look like theyre genuine options based on their showing so far for the Broncos #nrl

People saying Salah TC > Moyes AM feels short sighted. I get to bring in Slot or Emery this week and will probably play TC in another dgw for Isak later on. Think Ill be net positive when reviewing the AM/TC plays this season #fpl

The idea that story-driven games aren’t replayable is so strange to me. I eventually bounce off every multiplayer game because I get bored, but I go back to story games again and again just like rewatching a favorite movie, or to experience something new

Speaking of Insta is absolutely how I see it as well. It feels like everything he does is about building his brand. His decision making is often whats best for him and not whats best for the team. I see a very talented individual but not a team player.
Against Rangers, Alejandro Garnacho produced his liveliest display under Ruben Amorim — but was it his final outing at Old Trafford?

Here's a reminder of the calendar up to GW38.
EVE vs LIV is expected to move to GW24.
my chip plan is:
- TC Salah in GW24
then probably
- Wildcard in GW30
- Assistant Manager in GWs 31-33 (inc. DGW33)
- Free Hit in BGW34
- Bench Boost in DGW36

I'll be honest - Im so unsure on the structure and who has what say anymore. My understanding was that Ratcliffe brought in Berrada to run things and technically Ratcliffe only has the say of a board member. My point stands though that whatever the actual issue was, it was foreseeable 5 months ago

Im seeing things like Ratcliffe and Berrada were underwhelmed by his list of potential head coach targets including Southgate, Potter, Marco Silva etc. Um..did this sort of question not come up in the interview?? Did they not know the exact suggestions he would come up with?

Look, all power to him but there is a fair list of ex union and league players who havent made a roster and I dont think hes more naturally talented than any of them. It can be a cruisey life on a practice squad though
