McDonald was '86 sadly. There was Ilias at the WC of course, but that involved looking for him on the bench.
I'm going to try to look at the whole Dykes situation differently now, can't see much other option: He seems to have a good relationship with his fellow players and will need their support in the recovery. We may as well hope now that he can come through it, recover fully and then maybe get back to doing some of that slightly dropped in, linking work that had been going well for a handful of games.
Ideally he'll be coming back into a team with a bit more quality and form about it. I was eager for him to move on but it's not happening now surely so (even though I hate this phrase) it is what it is.
If the QPR cash carried over they'd have to come up with increasingly extravagant rewards which would take up far too much office brain-time and wreck the environment.
Poor buggers at Parcelforce delivering 100 kgs of flat packed QPR greenhouse, people squeezing on the 237 bus with their QPR paddling pools, it would be mayhem.
I think he's saying this niggle has given him the chance to get his Halloween decorations up nice and early, and he's finally convinced the wife to move the champagne bucket.
I had the same experience, and have wondered quite a while later if I should have been. Sorry for your loss, WWC.
But the OP seems to have had quite a nicely peppered set of experiences if I may say so. Great question though. I suppose what's life changing is by definition a subjective thing - some amazing examples so far.
I was supposed to get up and go to the gym on 9/11, and failed, but that wouldn't have led to any more than quite a lot of running and dust. Was involved in a handful of controlled explosion situations like anyone from NI in the 80s, but again never felt really at risk. I do think sometimes these things affect you later on - I'd have a hard time finding you a properly sane friend from my childhood, but that could be any number of factors.
Hopefully this opinion isn't a spackman, but we also have to remember it's only Netflix.
I'd class their various documentaries as infotainment mainly, and as long I manage that expectation I do generally enjoy them. I watched a Spanish one about The King of Cachopo at the weekend which was a good laugh - what a nutter. And I've started to watch that Ashley Madison guff after multiple requests from the wife (no idea why...).
Stating the obvious, but even the more respected documentaries need to be looked at as the director's view on it. Capturing the Friedman's is one example where you definitely need a good read around afterwards to get a bit more of the picture.
I'll probably give in and watch the Wembley one, and probably regret it. As I get older I find it increasingly difficult to keep those very real wider contextual factors in mind when confronted by arsehole behaviour.
During the thrashing we delivered upon them I actually thought Gnonto was the only Leeds player who kept trying. Admittedly 40% of that did involve feigning various injuries, including some kind of complex jaw ailment that he went on about for at least 10 mins.
Their movement in the final third yesterday was a joke though - so clearly out of form and ideas. Like a lot of people, I didn't really care who went up, but am quite looking forward to witnessing their soap opera over the coming months.
Good shout there with Waxahatchee - I love that song Lilacs and the way they drag out the 'oooooh' after 'you' at the midway point - simple but beautiful.
So much good alt country cross over stuff. Jason Isbell seems to be doing well these days - saw him at the Cadogan Hall recently, all cleaned up and slim and on top of his game - was a really good night.
I've always liked Gregory Alan Isakov in a similar, slightly less country vein. You can start to get into a question of definitions of what's country if you're not careful but good is good.
This song and album came out when I was in my late teens - I was all over it but haven't listened for years for some reason. Still pretty raw and great I think.
