They've said that a goalminder typically loses 10 - 12kg during a game and change position hundreds of times.

🇨🇦 have been applying the pressure for quite a while and finally equalise towards the end of the 2nd period.

Why's is deemed to be such an advantage to have a really tall goalminder in ice hockey when the goal is so small?

No idea why the 🇪🇺 should be on display at the curling arena at the Winter Olympics, makes no sense when members are competing as individual countries.

🥉 for Zoe Atkin in the half pipe for Team 🇬🇧.

Strange that the judges don't score a complete run in the half pipe if the competitor hasn't improved on their previous score.

Knew that the 🥌 would be very tense and that's the way it's going in the 8th end.

Drive home tonight could be adversely affected by the Mooners game and the even busier than usual Curry Mile as people break their fast with family get togethers - and it's usually rammed at 10.20 on a normal Saturday evening.

🇳🇴 have smashed the Winter Olympics, blowing away competition in the medals table. Delighted that 🇺🇲 aren't at the top. I've found myself cheering on any rival competitor in events more than I usually would - and you can guess why.

Really unlucky that 🇫🇮 concede with 35 seconds remaining in the semi despite being under considerable pressure and a man down to 🇨🇦. 🏒

I don't like the new introduction to Newscast's weekly TV programme of the last few weeks, pushing what's happened in the week's events rather than focusing on the day's news.

It appears to have become quite a thing for people to wear dry robes or their equivalents as normal everyday coats around town.

Trump sorry for Andrew and the Royal Family is bullshit. He's sorry because he knows that the whole Epstein affair won't die down anytime soon and he'll be placed under further pressure. It's all about protecting himself at any cost.

Ok, going back on what I said earlier because this one made me smile.

Come on BBC, I don't like figure skating but it appears to be on both BBC2 and the red button/iPlayer. Surely you could show an alternative?

4 stones left in the 10th end and it could go either way. Very tense. 🥌

The Men's curling semi has been a pretty tight affair so far. 🥌

Here's hoping @manutdwomen.bsky.social take care of the business at LSV tonight and qualify for the next stage of the CL.

And a third one, again straight after the match. Wonder how many more, not that I'll post them because it'll become tedious?

Another unhappy Gooner, but he hadn't had the cooling off period of the previous poster. Squeaky bum time amongst the fanbase? 😆

Love the positivity from this Gooner ... 😁

Well, well.

The Geordies might struggle in the 2nd leg. 😆

Bodo/Glimt continue to give it their all in the CL despite it being their close season (again) ... they must have been continuously playing for 3 years now!

Arteta's not going to be in the best of moods tonight after the Gooners succumbed to a very late equaliser at Molineux.

There are people out there who aren't wearing sufficient clothing for the weather. Those icy blasts are enough to stop you in your tracks. 🥶

There's no way that the IOC should be allowing Rusiia to compete at the Winter Paralympics under their own flag. Disgraceful decision, tone deaf, immoral! Who's been applying the squeeze behind the scenes?

Lots of fireworks 🎇 going off between midnight and 1am. Assume it might be connected to Chinese New Year, not sure whether from Chinatown or more locally. Kung Hei Fat Choi

I remember Birmingham wearing that kit in the Trevor Francis era. Tbh, I haven't a clue what their current kit is.

Leon Osman calling Fulham Wolves 3 times on MOTD 2 before someone had a word in his ear.

The Blundell Park pitch was a throwback to days of old.

Mansfield is the story of this round of the Cup so far. Over to Macclesfield.

Having not used the platform that Musk ruined for 7 - 8 months, I finally got around to deleting the app from my mobile ... not that I've been tempted to dip into it. Feck off X.

Wow! A 3rd 🥇for Team 🇬🇧 and 2nd of the day. A 2nd 🥇for Matt Weston in the skeleton. Skeleton Mixed Team Relay 🥇

My other half and I exchanged Valentine's cards that virtually identical wording.

This weekend's Cup games so far have illustrated that officials make errors far too frequently whether or not VAR is active. Question is has VAR affected them adversely by making them more hesitant or reluctant to make crucial decisions? That's not what it was intended to do.

I hope that whoever first agreed to allow Shearer co-commentate has given their head a wobble every time he's done so. Verbal diarrhoea, inanities galore, never shuts up. He's by no means the only one.

Heard extra time when I was driving. Sounded like Burton spurned some decent chances to equalise and take the game to penalties in the 2nd period.

Doesn't feel right that Guehi is able to play for 2 different clubs in the same season in the Cup.

Wonder if the Burnley chairman is as relaxed as Scott Parker on going out of the Cup. I guess that might depend on whether they manage to beat the odds against relegation.

Salah shouldn't have had the opportunity to take a penalty, having pushed an opponent in the throat on his way into the box. However, the 4th "goal" was a very marginal decision, difficult to be certain whether it was on or offside in actual time or on one replay.

Even without VAR, the officials had a nightmare at Villa Park. Villa should have been down to 9, conceding a penalty and have their goal disallowed. I'm no fan of the Geordies but the big decisions went against them. Fortunately justice was done with the result.

Strange how lady luck consistently smiles on some clubs in the early round draws of the Cup but not on others. Brown envelopes?

Only half? Jeez, we really are a divisive society.

8 years ago I had the 1st of 15 sessions of radiotherapy following on from a brachytherapy 3 weeks previous. If any of you guys are around 50 or have a family history even without exhibiting any symptoms, please get checked. prostatecanceruk.org has a risk checker, very quick

Whoo-hoo ... 🥇 for Team 🇬🇧 in the Men's Skeleton. Matt Weston Team 🇬🇧 first medal of the Games.

Watching the sliding over the last few days, I'm wondering which of the luge or skeleton I'd least fancy ... feet or head first at up to 90mph? TBH, I don't fancy either but if forced I'd probably opt to go feet first, feels a little safer somehow.

Glory be! An email from The 1958 has just dropped a couple of hours after one from MUST. Having not received anything from the former relating to the protest at the Fulham match, I thought they'd forgotten about me!

Pereira to Forest ... but for how long? The odds of him getting to the end of his contract in Summer 2027 must be pretty low given the owner's predilection for sacking managers after relatively short tenures.
