Return to the Planet of the "Hey Euro's its that time again" Thread.

Ah well just out of reach. I thought I'd be much more disappointed than I am. Had a great night with my dad and brother and have loved being in the stadium for all but one of our home games in the run.

Incredible to think we made it that far, forget the financial disparity between the league's, this time 10-11 years ago we were muddling through the bottom tiers of Scottish Football, literally playing plumbers and butchers every week.

A mate of mine who's a teacher even scored against us at Hampden not a million years ago. :bigg:

Thought you guys gave it a real good go. Entertaining game to watch imo.

I think for both teams getting to the final is already a feat. Let's be real, who'd a thunk at the start of the season Eintracht Frankfurt vs Rangers would be the final :messedup: Not to say they're bad teams at all, but there's quite some big stuff in there as well.

Also, gotta give my hometown boy Gio some credits, he somehow flies completely under the radar when it comes to Dutch coaches, but his work at Feijenoord was absolutely stellar, 2 league cups (I think) and a championship with the constantly financially strained mess that is Feijenoord is simply amazing. And now this. He really has a knack for getting the most out of underrated players.
 
Just in case there's any interest, I posted this over in the Video Game section but that makes this thread look busy:

My son's finished his degree in Computer Games Design and handed in the paperwork, so he's done bar waiting for his results but his final year project is now out in the wild. It's come a long way since the prototype which I mentioned here: https://markweinguitarlessons.com/forums/threads/current-game-my-son-is-building.104048/

Game and details are available from: https://gorgon90.itch.io/murder-of-the-magi

Yeah, he uses the same ID there, I have here. Started by him nicking my Xbox Live ID when he was playing it more than me and has carried on.

Couple of pics and trailer video below:

That’s so cool! Did he use Unreal Engine to build the game?


Anyhoo, working half day today and then pick up my daughter from school. No time to skate unfortunately

Thanks, he is justifiably proud of this (and us of him). It was indeed built in Unreal Engine version 4.25 as that was what was in use at his Uni when they started this year. He'll need a new PC to use Unreal 5 though which he'll have to learn now.

My big boss has just emailed asking if I can lead a seminar to some super high faluting national quango later in the year.

This is going to look very good on my CV. :thu:
 
Evening Euros.

Interesting times this evening.

My feet were feeling a bit old n scabby so a colleague recommended a pedicure place she uses in a part of town called Bridgeton.

Trains are fucked and it's half an hour for the next bus so I've nipped into a pub that I'd highly recommend @pmc100 never darkens it's doorstep, and they've got Thursday karaoke on.

I like a rough pub but everyone is absolutely shitfaced and the host has just did a monologue about how he got off an attempted murder charge in the 80s :)

As an outsider I'm just waiting for the "where are you from, who do you know and what are you doing in here?" chat as tends to happen in these parts. I'm sure telling them I was just round the corner paying some dude £40 to do my feet will be acceptable:embarrassed:

when the music stops and everybody stares at you, run and don’t look back :lol:
 
Bus cancelled so I've popped in to another pub, the vibe is much more belligerent in here and they've got fucking Celine Dion on the jukey. I think this'll be a very quick pint.

I know enough people who know people out this way so I'll survive.

Can we all agree that the bus is 100% the shittiest way to travel?
