Random Irritations

[srixon 1]

Top dressed and hollow tined greens. Absolutely bone hard and bouncy. An absolute waste of time trying to play on them and .2 back. Putts from 2 feet spent more time in the air and were bouncing sideways. God knows why the comp was a qualifier.

Have a big hit of sciatica 1 hour before a club match as the lovely weather hits the country 😢😡

Do you or any other forummers have any suggestions as to long term cures for this? I know I should probably see a doctor to get proper advice but would be happy to pay privately for a sports massage, chiropractor or other professional if I thought they would cure the problem.

Pilates and Yoga mate plus lots of stretches , i also go to a chiropractor and have painkillers, i normally do a good job of keeping it away but hit bad today picking up wet washing

Cures will normally be surgery if it’s bad but mainly just exercise and time.

This is a good article

I think most refs will allow that phase of play to complete, so yes I do agree that an attacking team is generally allowed to finish their attack but I also think most refs have a limit and will say enough is enough if an attack drags out too long. Also seen so many really good potential counter attacks ended immediately.

Referees always allowing play to continue when a team has a chance despite time having expired.
It happens every game and it's a disgrace.

It's about time the F A took a leaf out of the Rugby League book of timekeeping. There is a separate timekeeper who takes instruction from the ref when to stop time and when to resume. So, e.g, if a substitution is made then the ref signals time off as the player leaves the field, and signals time on when the player enters the field.
Same with injuries etc.
When the end of the game approaches, the spectators and tv audience see the time counting down It's. clear to everyone when the game is going to finish and that it is the full playing time and is not overtime either, and so all " added time" controversy can stop.
You'd think refs would like that, but maybe pride won't allow the decision to be taken away?
Certainly would take away any suspicion of biased decision making.

Cheers Phil, will have a read of the article and then decide the best option for me.

I have always thought its a good idea but as the laws state the referee is the sole arbiter of time then it would need a massive positional shift from FIFA and I can't see it happening especially as it seems a logical move. It would stop a lot of the feigning of injury if the ref simply stops the clock. Same when the ball goes out and a player holds onto it etc. Like rugby as soon as the ball goes dead the clock stops until the throw, free kick, or goal kick restart the game

I have a similar problem but in my case it's the odours being produced by my 7 year old son.

Having dug up half my lawn and relaid with fresh turf, I now find myself looking at it constantly wondering the following:

Will the joints disappear?
Am I watering it enough?
Am I watering it too much?

Not sure how I’m going to last the next couple of weeks whilst the roots “hopefully” dig in.

3 years on from having my fake grass installed I’m glad I did lol no mowing.. just occasional jet wash (more so because the dog goes loo on it) other than that looks brilliant all year round

Our neighbours have just had their lawn done with fake grass, looks good and I understand why they did it, but it’s not something I could ever do.

Early memories of sitting on my grandads lap whilst mowing his lawn will always mean I have real grass, just a bit of a PITA to get it going!

Soccer AM - used to love watching it but it's just become like a lad's night out.

What I imagine a lad's night out to be - before that gets called into question

It’s been pants for years.

It'd be very difficult to over water it right now!
Give it plenty of water each evening.
If the joints are narrow they'll disappear okay. If they're large, a bit of topsoil and seed should sort you out.
Don't fret, grass is very hardy stuff.

I used to suffer quite badly in my early 50's.
Went to chiropractor recommended by local farmers [against my inner beliefs].
One visit and I have not suffered in the 21 years since

This is the nearest we have to a 'ruin your day' thread so here goes. 34 points yesterday on rubbish greens. I've just had an email stating I've gone up 0.1 🤬🤬🤬. Okay, I know that means others managed better on them than I did but that was not a round that deserved an increase. Very, very grumpy right now 😡.

The initial ground work is very important also remember always keep the green side up,

The club publishing the results for yesterdays 4BBB results and they are all wrong.

And mix a little whiskey in the water, that way the grass grows up half cut

Having to jetwash the driveway and patio because Mrs Shark said so. A fun job for the first five minutes then boring as hell. The only consolation was thinking how wound up it would make the eco-warriors using the water and power for that purpose. That actually made it something that gladdened my heart.
