At least the jersey alterations would be cheap, provided Lukas gets no.9!

Also, wasn't it mentioned that Adams wanted to go through the process of interviews to give himself experience of interviewing headcoaches? Maybe I misremember that from one of the youtube/radio clips though.

We could even sneak a qualifying spot as one of the best third place teams!

A good point. Can't wait for Tuesday.

Very organised, limited England and we've had a few chances too. I like the midfield today, very nippy about the English. Adams and Dykes look to have a good partnership.

The big one on shortly. Good to see those that travelled down south are taking it easy on the drink. 🙈

Congrats to team GB forward Liam Kirk. Draft by the yotes in 2018 in the 7th round he has signed his ELC! Being joint top goal scorer in the worlds probably helped. https://www.fiveforhowling.com/2021/6/17/22539730/report-arizona-coyotes-agree-to-terms-with-liam-kirk

I don't think you're in the minority. I think that if we are hitting the rest button and going for picks and prospects for Jack/Sam/Risto then you are spot on. He was quick to bench vets that didn't pull their weight and seems to hold people accountable, unlike RK who said he holds people accountable then clearly didn't. (Except Skinner - who seemed to bear the brunt of the blame for everything from him).

We got our meatball

See my edit. Mixed him up with scouch.

Pretty sure pronman was not high on Power about a week ago. Edit: Was thinking if a different person.

Hope so. And pick wise could KA possible be looking for scratchers for next year.

Couldn't it be a mixture? Those coaches and/or GMs and/or players at that point in history were not good enough? I think the reasons for underperformance are more nuanced than are discussed. Counterpoint though, the direction of the franchise must, surely, be guided by the owners who are the common denominator in all this. And, perhaps, we have seen in remarks from KA that the whole culture must change and this season we could see evidence when he has "his" guys in place.

We have a saying over here that seems apt... he has deep pockets and short arms.

That would be some serious dark ***** if KA convinced Skinner to waive the NMC then got seattle to take him. Wouldn't be against it to be honest.

How do we feel about giraffopusses?

Gawd, the forward crop makes for depressing reading, eh?

If we do pick Power, and if he plays well enough for a call up at seasons end. How many games does he (or any other similarly positioned prospect) get before a year of ELC is burned?

Reading more about it, it seems to have happened a few days ago.

No. It was suggested by Michel Platini to celebrate 60 years of the Euro Championships but got postponed from last summer due to COVID.

Tierney got injured in warm ups. We didn't play well. Oh well onto England on Friday! Should be fun (My in-laws are English so I fully expect text abuse if we are horrible).

Disappointing to go in 1 down. Relying too much on Andy Robertson on the left. We need a bit more creativity on the opposite side.

Lunchtime spent getting the class sorted: Mon eh Scotlaaaaaaaand!

Reinhart to Ottawa for Brady?

My boss emailed all staff in our school to let us know we can down tools and watch the Scotland game tomorrow. That was nice of him.
