While scrolling through comments under an international news article, I noticed people discussing ukraine war real footage recorded by soldiers and journalists. One of the commenters added ukraine war real footage https://thechronicles.online/e in the middle of the discussion. Curiosity got the better of me, so I opened the page and read a few of the pieces. The interesting part was how the articles try to describe what is happening around the footage rather than leaving viewers guessing. Living in the UK, most updates I see are short news clips, so reading longer descriptions helped me understand the context behind those recordings. |

Comment | QPR thrashed, Boro run riot, night follows day, bear seen heading for wood – Report
by nesteroid at 20:55:19
Hello everyone. I was talking with a friend from Manchester about how soldiers sometimes document operations with cameras, and he mentioned seeing real GoPro war footage discussed in an online thread. During our chat he dropped a link to real GoPro war footage thechronicles.online. Out of curiosity I opened it later that evening. I noticed that the articles usually describe the events around the footage instead of leaving viewers guessing. Some posts focus on how the recordings were captured and what unit or situation they relate to. For someone in the UK following international conflicts through news and discussions, it felt like a more complete explanation than what I usually see on social media. |

Thanks for your preview.
I was quite concerned by Dunne's comments about the players not knowing what they are doing. Is our methodology that complicated? The one thing that people never understand is that it's easy to create something complicated, hard to create something simple. As mentioned previously, despite all the talk of methodology I feel we are a patchwork side, with an odd mix of players and lacking an overall style and ethos.
Yes, the all power to Nourry model doesn't make sense. Perhaps he believes himself to be a Silicon Valley-style 'disruptor', or perhaps he believes you get stupider as you get older. Getting rid of anyone with a connection to the previous regime is a bad sign.
The strange thing is that Nourry & co do seem to be able to identify the problems, just as Fernandes identified the problem of needing a new ground. There was a business book written in the 1990s called 'The Knowing-Doing Gap'. The authors found that many organisations knew what their problems were as they had commissioned numerous reports from management consultants on the problems, but had difficulty implementing the necessary actions to fix those problems: they knew what they needed to do but just couldn't do it.
Given that we are on another of these bad runs we have to dig ourselves out one way or another. A goal would be a good place to start. |

It must be increasingly difficult to find something positive to write. Than heaven for the bon mots like the Plymouth vs Portsmouth "derby" because they both have boats. LOL |

I was in the “for” Nourry camp at the beginning of the season, but it has slowly eroded over the last few months to a point where it’s a case of “what the f#ck is going on” camp.
That first half against Birmingham was as diabolical as anything under Ainsworth and a complete embarrassment for the club and players. The complete lack of effort, organisation and quality was astounding. The players and club need far more than a look in the mirror. There is a massive potential issue here with accountability, culture and standards.
Nourry is absolutely responsible for getting a grip of this quickly. If we lose at Leicester and then Portsmouth, the fan apathy really must turn to protest. |

My ‘mate’ down the pub, gleefully informed me last night that he’d put a fiver on QPR to get relegated at 100/1. The vultures are circling… |

Clean sheet? From 3 away in a row, we couldn’t keep a clean sheet if we were sponsored by Wash.Me . Cheers Clive. Forward it to Ruben. |

What on earth does that John D'Sousa quote mean? I can't get my head round it. As my old man use to say "BS baffles brains". |

Comment | Blues pile on the misery as Stéphan brands shot-shy R’s “embarrassing” – Report

Agree with every word.
"C***s and then the player ratings" the only humour to come out of the evening.
Yes, I agree about Morgan, he will play forward, but will anyone run behind?
Yes, the Madsen gap is getting worse by the week.
I have never warmed to Stefan, but once the suspicion starts that the team is not being picked on merit, then it becomes a very difficult dressing room.
If we could have some honesty from the club, about the true state of the injury crisis, it might help, as its then a straight relegation battle, (think Preston last year), we can then get behind whoever is available, and dig out four points, (familiar territory for us lot.
Cheers Clive! (Don't get injured). |

Comment | Rowett charged with rescuing Foxes from self-inflicted disaster - Oppo Profile
by TacticalR at 22:11:53
Thanks to Ian.
Quite incredible where Leicester are now, even compared to a few years ago. It sounds like Cifuentes couldn't stem the tide, which is a shame, as I think his inclination is towards attacking football. Maybe Rowett's pragmatism is more suited to the situation - he seems to do well with teams in the lower half of the Championship. |

Thanks for your report. QPR have been flogging you for three-quarters of the season so it's not surprising it's catching up with you.
A terrible first half where we failed at every level. The only saving grace was that we only let in one goal and were a bit better in the second half.
Varane. Yes, the flaw in the development model is if anyone actually sees him play. In fact it looks like we are employing the regression model where we buy players and they get worse every week. |

When you can’t tackle, pass, close down the opposition or at least bust a gut trying, you’ve got no hope. Every team we play are completely outclassing us, playing with more purpose and with a game plan. We’re offering nothing, Varane is just a total liability, Saito and Smyth ineffective, Mbengue just brain dead at times, it’s hard to take any positives. It’s as bad as it’s ever been and whilst not completely the managers fault, do we allow things to continue in the hope 3 teams manage to finish below us. It needs something radical in the short team, even a Warnock to shake things up. Stéphan has run out of time, and has lost the dressing room. Or a sacrificial lamb such as Ben Williams, the so called Performance Director. On results and performances this dire, there has to be accountability, if any of us where as bad as this at our job we would have long ago been fired! |

‘Sometimes when you are not clear on a few things it looks like a lack of effort’
Well, as professional sportsmen earning a huge wage I suggest you approach your coach and make yourself clear about your role in the team. Now, if you re unable to adapt in a game (e.g handsome Ronnie shovednup the pitch) then maybe you're not that good!
Surely like anything you have to be well-prepared before the game both physically and mentally. Don’t try and blame someone else. If you don’t know what you’re doing when you’re about to cross the white I suggest you step back, not flop around the pitch like a sulky child on million pound contracts - while hard working fans fork out hard earned money to watch you. |

Dunne's comment about 'rediscovering ourselves' is interesting. My inference is that we have to play Madsen-free (and we don't have the quality to consistently link play) and it's taking time for the coach/players to work it out. Still, as clear as Clive's frustration, that's no excuse for every single player that starts a game to avoid rising to full 100% of effort and potential to try and rectify the situation they have put themselves into. |
