Thread | Ollie Cooper a big season ahead
at 09:46 16 May 2025
Ollie Cooper is a useful squad player and presumably not the highest of paid. Contract to 2027.
He had a very good 2023-2024 season but regressed 2024-2025. At around 24 you want to see a sharp progression ideally.
He did not score enough goal given the position he plays. Only one last season although he was often sub
Weidel Congreve and Cotterill will all be given their chance. He is under pressure. Get in the gym stay on his feet more and sharpen up the finishing including heading the ball and he can feature.
Three academy lads battling for one place should keep everyone focussed. One will go on loan after preseason or in January I suspect. [Post edited 16 May 9:49]

Thread | Gas storage UK Centrica.
at 12:32 8 May 2025
As I understand it gas prices in UK are so high because it depends on global prices.
In order to mitigate price hikes some nations have huge gas storage facilities. They buy gas when it is cheapest and sells it when it is higher but still below the global price.
You no longer see the old gas tanks in towns ..
Centrica which evolved from British Gas want to develop the Rough gas storage scheme in the North sea but it is very expensive work. They have asked the Government for a contribution. This is exactly what they should be doing. Infrastructure to lower bills. (Buy cheap sell cheaper)
I am a shareholder from the Thatcher era. My share took a hit today dues to the high cost of storage development.

Thread | Sami going to the dark side.?
at 18:18 7 May 2025
WoL extract.
"In the final game of the campaign, Cardiff fielded a trialist, Swansea striker Sammy Henia-Kamau. The 19-year-old becomes a free agent when his contract expires next month."
Glory Nzingo has also left on loan. Will he return.? Both looked promising. There's recently has been a welcome slew of promising local lads. Woodward, Bates, Harvey Gray Callum Jones (u17)
Even Cullen is scoring great goals with his head. I salute him for grafting and improving. He is a slow burner. [Post edited 7 May 18:20]

Thread | The Paul Watson legacy. Was it so bad.?
at 11:43 25 Apr 2025
With 5 wins under the belt this is as good as it has been for some time.
So what is the Watson legacy. Ronald is back in form and looking a good p rospect again. Franco is a diamond and loved by the fans.
And who brought in Sheehan who is much loved ATM. Yes it was Watson. They worked together at Luton.
Vipotnik Vigoroux have been decent.
Watson was not the disaster some continue to promote. |

Thread | New Ospreys plan shows a bit more imagination.

Some new schematic plans for the new stadium. The first scheme was bloody awful with a stadium within a stadium.
This new effort is much better incorporating the existing dilapidated stadium. They need room to expand if the glory days return. This is most likely with a UK and RoI league down the line
Quote
"The council has conditionally agreed investment in St Helen’s, with the Ospreys planning to play there from the 2025-26 season.'.
It seems to me Swansea city could go back to the council to reduce their lease on the Swansea.com if the Council is funding the Osprey move out of the Swansea .com. SCFC agreed a deal that included the Ospreys..

Thread | Eni Aluko

She, some might argue, virtually ended the football career of Mark Samson. He was no angel for sure. He said some inappropriate things ( I regarded as mild) and actually apologised. Aluko, a trained lawyer is very serious and would not doubt have little time for dressing room team building banter.
Samson was subjected to a kangaroo court in the HoC with no right to self defence. Lianne Sandersons gripe was no cake for her 50 th cap. The England team did not back her and mobbed Samson after a win in the following game. Only Dan Ashworth stood up for Samson which was decent of him. It struck me as blatantly unfair.
I have sympathy for her obviously with the on line abuse but presumably it goes with the territory. She certainly is feisty.

Thread | Betty Campbell was great but is the disproportionate?

Being first in any thing is creditable but being Wales s first Black head mistress possibly deserves a plaque.
However the massive structure outside Cardiff Railways station is enormous. Bigger than anything for Nelson Mandela or Martin Luther King.
I was not familiar with the word "woke" but visitors must be baffled when asking what she he achieved. She became a head mistress and did good stuff in general.
There is another statue in Cardiff for Sir Gareth Edwards who player "white skinned only" rugby in Apartheid South Africa.
