Another Drive4show 'Anything goes' thread

[oldshanker]

First topic message reminder :

I agree Digs - what I was commenting on was not their lack of invention, but their lack of cohesion. They did not get the basics right, the least a back has to do is commit his opposite number, which becomes more important against the 'drift' defence, and then follow up and support. This was not happening yesterday, apart from Chris ashton on occasions.

I have not seen Goode play in his club matches, but on a number of occasions, he caught the ball deep, began to run, hesitated and then was caught without any support. I can't remember ever seeing Ben Foden caught like that. It is yet another sign of a lack of cohesion in the backs.

Of course, this probably is all due to the fact they are a relatively new squad and should come together the more they play together. But on the face of it, I think yesterday was a fair showing against a team that in my opinion is still there to be taken and will possibly only get one win in this series.

I reckon John Bobbitt's had more luck with the ladies than Super.

nb. When I googled him to check the spelling I came across an article with him claiming to have had over 70 sexual partners since his "op"!!

[Hibbz]

.............and I live in Aberdeen

.......and you're terrified of women. Heck they might try and seduce you. Not much you could do if Big Laura decided she fancied a nibble on your haggis.

I think Laura's more likely to munch on a rug than nibble on a haggis....

Ha ha. I once spent nearly an hour surfing the internet trying to find out for definite about her sexuality. Read various interviews etc and I might be wrong but I'm sure I remember reading an interview where she was being coy about having a fella.

I have to confess I've always a fondness for Laura, used to see her at Wimbledon dog track quite regularly and was fascinated by her shape. Never seemed actually fat just a square body with quite/relatively slim legs. She always seems like a great laugh too.

Sharon off Eastenders is like that, I call her SpongeBob Squarepants.

Ha ha yeah I can see that but he's yellow rather than orange isn't he?

Now, S_R must be seriously unlucky to have it worse than poor Mr. Bobbitt. Didn't he have a (presumably laughable) porn career for a while on the back of the 'fame'? Probably what he means when he says he's had some luck with then ladies since his op. Wasn't there another case similar recently? Sure I read something and the women got a pretty 'stiff' sentence I think...

[JAS]

Even a bed sit living, bus pass holding,  Nine Chins worshipping, Socialist Worker reading, turf accountant like Mac does better than me if we are to believe his claims

Hell i'm none of those things yet I've struggled recently. Might have a night on the razz in either Dundee or Edinburgh when I'm up next month. Edinburgh can be a happy hunting ground

[super_realist]

I'd avoid Dundee Jas unless you like them fat with 9 kids by 10 different fathers.

[mystiroakey]

9 kids by 10 fathers- Is there something else you are implying about dundee dude!!

[navyblueshorts]

9 kids by 10 different fathers would definitely be something...

It would be like opening the window and shagging the night.

[super_realist]

Watching the womens open and it looks like they are playing something similar to the medal tees. Surprised how short they are hitting it though, barely getting over the road on 18 with driver.

[MustPuttBetter]

I noticed that yesterday, playing from the yellow blobs

[Roller_Coaster]

Have to admit to not caring about the womens open so for people like me, what does that mean yardage wise and how short/long are they hitting it on 18 then?

Probably about the same as Poultry and Donald on a good day.

[super_realist]

I'd rather have a moderate driving length and the career of a Poulter or Donald than be a long hitter and be a nobody like Jason Kokrak, Tag Ridings or Ryan Palmer,


Roller, many women struggling to hit 230 up 18.

[MustPuttBetter]

I quite like watching the women's golf, partly for Aza Munoz and partly because the game they play resembles mine more than the game Dustbin Johnson and Alvaro Quiroz play does

who wouldnt !

[shclaff]

According to the LPGA website the biggest hitter on the tour averages 274 yards.

Would be mighty impressive if Inbee Park won 4 straight majors.

Still 3 yards short of Donalds PGA average in 2013 and 8 behind Poulter.


Park has done a Westwood/Nine Chins and gassed it.

[shclaff]

If she makes a couple of birdies in her last 5 holes she's still in it. She'll need to shoot the lights out over the weekend though.

Bet Lee wishes he'd chalked up 14 majors before he started gassing eh.

[SmithersJones]

What I don't get is why the women's short games don't make up for their lack of distance? They don't even match the men in short game stats, when I'd expect them to be at least as good if not better.

[Diggers]

Presumably its just about numbers. The talent pool to produce women's pro golfers must be massively smaller than the men's.
Therefore less exceptional players are going to be produced which will reflect in all aspects of their game compared to the men.

[lorus59]

Do any women ever comment on this golf section of 606? I have never noticed any.

[super_realist]

I would be quite interested to know at what level of amateur male a female tour pro is comparable with. I reckon perhaps no better than scratch.

No disrespect to them but what I see doesn't impress me much.

[McLaren]

plunky and gael are women. Ladyputt who used to post on here was of course a lady as well.


Super

pro female golfer is much better than a scratch golfer, pretty obviously really given you get scratch women who are nowhere near pro level.

[super_realist]

Mac, I was comparing a female tour pro to a male scratch player.

[navyblueshorts]

Not a big baseball follower but it seems that sport has some big problems to address:

[mystiroakey]

Does baseball use a hawkeye type system. I have allways wondered about this imaginary plate .. Hawk eye would make things alot easier!

[kwinigolfer]

mysti:
No!

nbs:
A-fraud is a diva with associations with the same doctor a certain golfing diva has had blood-curdling dealings with.
This guy is so out of any connection with reality that I fully expect him to apologize fulsomely and take comfort in his Buddhist faith.
Probably during a Yankee game.

[super_realist]

Watched a baseball game, or what I could be bothered to watch from a hotel roof in America, and what a boring game it is.

[beninho]

I quite like Baseball, but the players have been doped up for ages haven't they? Every now and then they catch a few and then it happens again a few years later.

I did enjoy ESPN America, shame that has been cancelled. Go Mets or Red Sox, i am undecided. Same as with the Giants/Vikings or Patriots in NFL. I have items for all of them!

[mystiroakey]

Thanks for the informative answer Kwini . -[

I like Baseball myself. However Hawkeye would smash it as a system in this game. I am sure there is a lot of banter about what may be a strike or not!!

The great thing about baseball is that if you swing it doesnt matter if the pitch hits the virtual plate or not. So hawkeye would only have to track.. And could be set up to instantly green or red light a pitch..

In regards to the doping. Yeah just another doping scandel- I suppose Baseball being a sport heavily reliant on arm power over a sport like cricket that has so many equal variables its going to have problems..

[Diggers]

I think the huge disparity in money between the games makes a difference as well Mysti. All the top baseball players are on multi million pound contracts and anyone in the majors is making very good money.
Guess the players will be tempted to do anything to get the money and the glory. A Rod does seem like a prize dick.

[mystiroakey]

Very true.. Money makes us do crazy things!

[McLaren]

who would you rather have, wilfred zaha or gareth bale?

[super_realist]

[mystiroakey]

Thatsd a bit of an unfair question Mac..

Substitute Zaha with another 1000 names and the answer is Bale!!!


Zaha is high quality - you have a great signing! I just hope he isnt benched all year- The lad needs to play

[super_realist]

who would you rather have, wilfred zaha or gareth bale?

That's like asking, would you like to have AIDS or £10bn

[mystiroakey]

SR allthough Mac is miles of base. You are even more of base.

Its like being stuck in the middle of a couple of crazy fan boys!!

Both of you get some football knowedge and then come back..

[super_realist]

I hate football Oakey. It's boring from a spectators point of view.

[mystiroakey]

I know that- You have said it so many times. Trust me as a Palace supporter. I know how good he is. He doesnt deserve your comparison. He also doesnt deserve to be pitted up against bale either

[Diggers]

I remember what 2-3 years ago United fans laughing at suggestions Bale was better than Evra, its really not that long ago people didn't know his position or rate him. Remember his run of games played in the Premiership without a win ?
Clearly Bales had 2 great years but lets give Zaha a chance to see what he can do in a good side. He definitely has a touch of class but be interesting to see how he fares in the Premiership.

[super_realist]

I imagine Zaha will be just like every other English player and be completely over-rated.

[mystiroakey]

Well Sr that is based on ignorance over an honest appraisal.

[mystiroakey]

However i have this feeling that if Zaha had picked to represent his birth country instead then Sr would be touting him as the next ronaldo!

[navyblueshorts]

Is there anything dafter than the people walking round with increasingly large headphones on while listening to their iPod/iPhone/whatever? Muppets!

[super_realist]

That is daft.

Single speed road bikes are also very pointless and silly. Why not just get one with gears.

[navyblueshorts]

...Single speed road bikes are also very pointless and silly. Why not just get one with gears.

Ah. But gears are for pussies. If you have a single-speed, you're much tougher. Have to wear lycra etc if you go single-speed as well.

[super_realist]

They are always a poofy pastel blue and ridden by scenesters.
