One nice feature this season for American Jacks is Paramount Plus’ coverage of the whole FL, but particularly the Championship. Past championship seasons, we’ve had to watch 90+% of the league matches on Swans TV. While PP mostly ignored us at the start of the season outside of the home Cardiff fixture and a couple others, lately they’ve picked up a lot of them. This means we hear honest opinions about the state of the club.
Last 3 or 4 Swansea.com fixtures, it’s come up every time that our pitch is torn up to hell, each time insisting that it hurts us given our playing style.
My apologies if this has been discussed around here and I’m ferdy. But since there is nothing about it on page 1 of the board, please entertain my novice questions.
1) Is a choppy pitch really a competitive disadvantage? Yes, I get that we are possession-based, and our crap pitch gives us more chances for a bad bounce to lead to disaster. But if none of the other pitches in the division are in this kind of shape, isn’t that disadvantage offset by the fact our players should have the benefit of familiarity, of knowing where the bad spots are?
2) How many other clubs in EFL share their pitch with a rugby club? Are all of those pitches crap, or do those clubs manage it better?
In any case, here’s hoping ownership takes into account the pitch we share with Ospreys, and don’t go after another gaffer with LW’s philosophy, when he goes away.
Do you know how big a f***ng swan is? Or how mean those bastards are?
Oh, and guess who swans don’t get along with? Geese, turtle doves, French hens, calling birds, and partridges. Glad you did your homework there. There’s more bird-on-bird violence going on right now than I care to mention.
Charlie Hustle was kind of an a-hole and clearly a delusional liar among other bad things, but he was without a doubt one of baseball's all-time greatest. Maybe now they let him in the Hall of Fame.
If there are any fans of America's version of cricket on this site, this is a really interesting documentary.
I forget who delivered the cross, but it came from the right side and I think it was Eom who whiffed on a header from a great position. I don't care to look right now, too pissed off to rewatch until maybe tomorrow.
Anyhow, the replay showed a very obvious handball by the man marking Eom. Yet it looks like everyone (including our fans) seemed to miss it, and no appeal from our players.
2-0 would have changed everything at that point, but I suppose it nobody saw it...whatever.
And these kudos will be a first for me, after all the crappy and low-rate service I've endured since the season after we were relegated, when SwansTV suddenly became vital to me as a non UK supporter. I've probably sent them more angry emails than I've sent to the rest of Planet Earth in aggregate. Not that I'm a big complainer.
But this is great: so far this season, they are putting full replays on YouTube. And very quickly, so far. I just noticed that PNE has been up 2 days, and the match only ended 2 days and 8 hours ago.
Here's hoping they bring back a 2nd commentator to join Anthony O'Connell, who is decent if not spectacular as the main guy. Leon and Trundle in particular each add a lot and Wyndham's crazy ass is good for laugh.
Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Seymour Hersh confirms the rumors that Obama blackmailed Biden to drop out of the race.
“On Sunday morning,” the official told me, with the approval of Pelosi and Schumer, “Obama called Biden after breakfast and said, ‘Here’s the deal. We have Kamala’s approval to invoke the 25th Amendment.” The amendment provides that when the president is determined by the vice president and others to be unfit to carry out the powers and duties of his office, the vice president shall assume those duties.
Democrats have turned America into an all out oligarchy at this point.
