Sheep - Season 11 - Sports - Round 5 - End Game- Answers

After an eternity and me getting off my lazy arse finally, this season of Sheep comes to a conclusion. I will say that going back and looking at answers after such a long period makes me question why I asked some of the questions in this round. It was hard, so hard that the final round scores had a very interesting finale but it didn't really change the overall outcome.

Has the missus given you permission to resume Sheep @Mel81x or is she still waiting on you to get through your list of household chores? 

Shes still on my back haha. I'll get it done before Good Friday I promise.

Damage has been done for me. The engineers was an interesting concept that he just completely ignored. 

I don't know if he completely ignored it but he turned it into something unnecessarily weird with the way David goes over and just black plagues them completely. Surely there were others roaming the universe so its not out of the total realm of possibilities that they somehow get reintroduced based on news that 20th CF want to do another Alien movie continuing that storyline. 

I'll also say this, im a bit of sick of seeing Ripley in these movies and I'd like something fresh with a bit of a reboot.

I caved and ended up getting the deluxe edition of DD2. 

Will probably spend 2 hours creating my character given how detailed the character customization is. 

I've only seen good things about it with reviews. Will get into it once the backlog clears a bit.

Another Alien movie. Yay......

 

 

I honestly cant wait to see it considering the director behind it. Felt like Ridley went off the path with all the stuff he tried to do with David and Prometheus.

Their ties to DoD sums it all up really. They used to be the gold standard for safety not just in the aviation industry but across manufacturing as well. Then they merged with McDonnell and it all went south from there. They can still fix this but the I am surprised the FAA hasn't grounded more of their aircrafts to make the message more clear. The worst part of it all is that they also have a history of some of the worst aviation disasters we've ever seen as well. 

This makes me wonder who the bond girl and the villain are this time around.

Chocolate and chicken can work if done right.

Pineapple on pizza can NEVER work!

 

There is no comparison  

I wouldn't say never haha. I've had some that works with a salty ham but its not for everyone, discourse on the topic has taught me as much.

I see we have the new Pineapple on Pizza thread.

Conflicted. May end up getting this over DD2 as it apparently only has 30fps

I've never much jumped on the bandwagon of 30/60. What truly makes a difference is 120+ and we're nowhere close to that on consoles at this point in time. Having said that, both games are going to be very good.

RCB Women have won the WPL and getting a title before the men. Ellyse Perry is some player.

P.S. Some partying going on in the city tonight haha. Fireworks as well, I guess 16yrs of not winning it with the mens team has had people stock up on them.

Just now, Stan said:

Had the chance to kill the game with that 5 on 2 counter. Should have done much better. 

They hesitated and the pass just came too late but oh well it was going to end this way considering they gave the ball away way too much today.

We lost this game way before those goals went in during ET with the subs and the way the players just lazily moved the ball around and didn't run to cover. Rashford missed a chance, McTominay missed a chance and all we had to show for that entire ET was a goal from Harvey and nothing else remotely threatening.

I'm sorry but are we seriously doing this again? I can't for the life of me understand how people see how many decisions, many of them obviously wrong, go for and against every team in the league every weekend and think that referees are in the pay of one team or another.

Referees can't control the outcomes of matches lads. Why would somebody waste their time and money and risk paying off a set of officials to favour them in marginal calls when, if Luis Diaz puts one or two of his chances away for example, Liverpool win the match anyway?

They definitely have their unconscious biases. Like I said originally, I'm sure the VAR and referee were reluctant to give Liverpool two penalties in one potentially title-deciding match, no matter how clear and obvious, because they know that that's all that people will talk about afterwards. 

The officiating in the league is consistently terrible and the way accountability works between the on-pitch referee and the VAR doesn't lend itself to correct outcomes being achieved. It's also not right that teams of officials are flying across to the Middle East or wherever to officiate a midweek game to make extra money when they've got a league depending on them to do their main job properly at the weekend. They're not getting paid off to favour one team or the other, though, I'm afraid. They're just not.

When you consider your last point about them flying to other countries to referee matches and the fact that they are being paid by those associations for their work coupled with the fact that they have zero accountability other than "sorry" it's not really a far stretch to assume that some if not many matches are subject to being paid off for outcomes. Our match certainly gets most of the highlights considering the fact that there is a country who has a history of infractions in football and will do anything to generate revenue by any means possible. Am I saying it is an absolute fact? No, and my post may come off that way and if it does it's not my intention but to think that there isn't a financial operating factor in referee decision making now that you really have zero visibility into what the man in the box is doing or how those decisions are being made you certainly can't rule out that they have bias - external influenced or just plain incompetence, I lean towards influence because no one can be that stupid/incompetent. Wherever there is large scores of money you can 100% assume there is a level of cheating going on that isn't blatantly obvious and will never present itself unless you see a pattern whether its teams cheating, or the managing system being corrupted. 

To fix this the league and the FA have to really just find a way to introduce penalties post review to ANY game that is deemed to have the ambiguity associated with decisions. But we both know that is never going to happen because the last thing they'll do is call one of their own incompetent and it opens a can of worms no one wants to deal with so you get refs getting away with whatever decision they make because no one can challenge them. If I was a corrupt business wanting to gain leverage that looks rather ripe an opportunity. 

P.S. Apologies for the late reply but the last two days have been busy.

I find myself more and more disappointed about not having PC releases having taken the plunge on an ultra wide now. I dont want to play it on PS5 but I dont know If i can wait for this one 

Speaking of which I saw Ghosts of Tsushima has a PC release coming finally  

I think most of KT's releases eventually find their way onto PC. I don't know if all the NiOhs made their way there but if this is anything like that (which I think it is) then its going to be lots of fun. Trying not to do too much reading on it and just get into the game. 

Comes out on the 22nd and I can't wait. Koei Tecmo are back at it again.

What's everyone think about the VAR call? Can't lie I'm at a loss as to how studs down someone's chest/belly isn't a foul. Probably a yellow card anywhere else on the pitch

Mac could have shown the marks made by the studs and they'd still say no foul. They panicked when they realized their bank accounts would start seeing a lack of incoming funds if they had made the right call. There's no other reason why they shouldn't be calling that a foul and awarding a subsequent penalty. We had Curtis get a red for something else which was incidental post contact with the ball first so they can't even use the excuse that Doku gets to the ball first.
