It is great to have goals like that.

Enjoy the forthcoming rehearsals. You will be a maestro by April at this rate.

My daughter played cello for 10 years from when she was 8. It was a fair few years before we heard anything resembling a tune. She did come good in the end 😀

Wow that's amazing progress for 6 months.

I find that as I'm older and slower I enjoy running more now that I'm not chasing a PR.
I am running further distances though.
When younger I didn't do much more than 5k but lately I've upped the distances I run which is a great buzz.

That's what Hearts does to you. I once had a full head of hair too 😁

Good news for me is that I will still get to see him play

Will be interesting to see how he does here.
The Derry pitch is particularly bad, on par with Kilmarnock, so not ideal for injury prone players.

Wise move to stop. 55 day running streak still very impressive. A wee break and you'll be raring to go again.

I should add that they are still very much a big part of my life now that I am 61.
Happy New Year.

Thank you for being part of helping Rush being discovered. In my teens Rush were the greatest band in my life and you were part of making sure that was the case

Yeah I saw an interview with him online recently and ordered the book after that.
Looking forward to reading it.

I've lost patience with him but realistically I feel we have to give him a chance.
However we were told on his arrival about his ability to improve players and get the best out of them. I don't think he has delivered on that so far.
I'm just hoping he surprises me and comes good.

We are so easy to play against. Opposition managers must tell their players to just let us have the ball as we do nothing much with all our possession. Allowing them to conserve their energy.
We are badly in need of pace.

When he got the job we were told he had a reputation for improving players. I haven't seen much evidence of this.
We cannot say we weren't warned though. What I read on the Blackpool fans forum has unfortunately turned out to be true so far.

Solo. No pressure to run faster or slower. Just run at the pace I feel comfortable with.

Mornings for me. Sets me up nicely for the day.

The problem with our style of play this past while is that it is so pedestrian. It is very hard to get enthused about, so I understand how easily negativity is generated in the crowd.
December 21, 2024 at 12:24 PM
Very reasonable. You're more positive than me.
I'd have Forrest, Boyce, Grant and Dhanda joining McKay on 0.
Beni down to 6. I feel he is by far our best player but doesn't play enough.
Also Devlin too high for me. Would rate him a 6 also. To me his lack of creativity is an issue.
