@BigGreegsy1 @Chris_Jack89 @RangersReview55 It’s not a dead rubber to Rohl. He’s fighting for his future with the board and needs to put out the team with the best possible chance of winning. He owes the current playing squad nothing as they’ve let him, the fans and the club down. Tav could have came on later.

@Chris_Jack89 @RangersReview55 Fuck sake Whatever the disagreement, Tav has had a good long career at Ibrox and deserves to go out in front of the fans. Cant imagine any disagreement is bigger than that in a dead rubber

@ibroxrocks 100% backing Rohl on this. If Tavernier spat the dummy because he wasn’t starting and decided he didn’t want to come off the bench, that’s on him. I’m sure he would have been brought on later to a good ovation, but seemingly that’s not enough. Rangers FC not Tavernier FC.

Word is James Tavernier withdrew from the squad following a disagreement with Danny Röhl. A sad way for it to end.

@IainWATP I’ll generally aim to go to every game but if the season has petered out I’ll miss a game like tonight if it’s inconvenient to change plans. Tonight I could have made it if I moved some family stuff around and definitely would have done so if we were still in the race.

Question for ST holders that ain’t going tonight, what’s your intention when paying for ST? Do you plan to go to every game no matter what happens? Do you sometimes have to miss games for work/personal reasons? Or do you only go when things are going well?

@SkytelWrestling Toni Storm Swerve Strickland Kyle Fletcher You could make a case for Mariah May but more and more it seems like she was “right time, right place” and simply benefited from Toni’s star power.

Throwing this out there because seems like people are in a chatty mood.... Non-#Wrestlemania question: Who are the top three Moneyball AEW signings since 2020? I'm throwing out 2019, and people who started there in that time. Biggest returns on investments since 2020?

Bill Simmons crazy idea for the Heat vs Hornets play in matchup 😳 “For Charlotte vs Miami, winner advances to the 8-9, loser has to take Terry Rozier back. He’s actually at the game hanging from the arena like how WWE does the Money in the Bank belt. Terry Rozier is just in a strap hanging from the arena and after the game gets lowered down and joins one of the two teams” (Via open.spotify.com/episode/6IsqhE…)

The NBA needs to fine the Grizzlies for this disgraceful display of basketball tonight. They have only six players, really only five since Dariq Whitehead has barely played, going up against a Jazz team who was already fined for “tanking.” Utah is up 40… This is awful.

@BladeCunningham 3 of the last 5 champs have been Milwaukee, Denver and OKC. Each team’s main star was drafted 15th, 41st and 11th. This proposal doesn’t punish small teams or teams that are bad. It punishes teams that are run badly. Good. There should be consequences for ineptitude.

The NBA has committed to their Venture Capital Era. They're going to strip teams in less valuable markets of their ability to create championship rosters in order to extract every cent of monetary value they can from the league. And the only people who will suffer are the fans.
Evan Sidery@esidery

There is momentum behind reforming the NBA Draft Lottery to 18 teams, including the bottom 10 all having the same 8% odds at No. 1 overall, per @ShamsCharania. The main goal from owners is to completely eliminate the aggressive tanking efforts from losing teams once and for all.

@KevinOConnor @YahooSports Great article and I agree this would be an excellent fix, which nicely balances punishing ineptitude with still giving bad teams hope.

@Kankagroup Only goals I can remember coming close in terms of noise was Kamara vs Leipzig and Edu in the last minute vs Celtic. Still, this beat them out. The sheer “what the fuck did I just see?!” was unmatched. Can’t believe we conspired to make it meaningless.

Will annoy me forever that we never won that game with goals like that. But in the 30 odd years as a season ticket holder ive never seen a reaction to a goal like that from our support. Best goal in real life ive ever seen

@__YC9__ It’s a really frustrating one as he clearly has technical quality (his deliveries in the last few games for Chermiti’s goals) and he rarely loses the ball (in contrast to Gassama when he came on). But he just doesn’t ever take risks. He seems capable of so much more.

Dust settled & I hate singling out players when majority of the team wasn’t at it. I’ve seen enough now of Skov Olsen. Was brought in to produce moments in the big games like this & for me hasn’t.

@WesterosCentral If you're wanting a deep run in a tourney he can't be one of your seven guys. He just can't. I think you have to trade him. Daeron and two marriage proposals for Raymun Fossoway. Who hangs up first?

@FilmUpdates Totally deserved. Legitimately the best acting performance I’ve seen since DDL in There Will Be Blood. It’s a crime he’s not been nominated for an Oscar.

@WesterosCentral Team Aerion will be getting fined for tanking. Between Daeron sitting out the fighting for load management and the three Kingsguard who wouldn’t even try and hurt Baelor, it’s clear they weren’t trying to win.

Is Raymun Fossoway quietly putting together a AKOTSK Season 1 ROTY campaign? - Started his own family tree - Big showing on his knighting day - Potential Dunk-saving play in the Trial of Seven Worth monitoring what might come of this young man.

@jowrotethis Such an underrated gem of a show. All the more bizarre that it's filmed in Scotland, they attended a Scottish uni, live in Scotland but basically no one is Scottish. Still, a great show.

For you #AKnightOfTheSevenKingdoms sickos freshly in love with the Laughing Storm himself Daniel Ings, I cannot more strongly recommend LOVESICK (formerly known as Scrotal Recall). He’s perfect as is everyone else in this absolute gem of a show.
