@mrewanmurray Expect more of the same shit next season then, maybe every other teams managers can decide when a game finishes…why should McInnes be the only one with the privilege?
@twelve_football Ba-Sy vs Cláudio Braga 2024 Aalesund
Extremely similar profiles even in how they performed across the metrics comprising 'Run Quality'
These are, imo, the key traits Bloom's model looks for in strikers right now across multiple clubs. Indicators of effort & supporting the TEAM
Here's Ba-Sy's run quality & pressing per @twelve_football
Something this doesn't capture are his off-ball runs in general, but those are proxied by his crazy high carry xT, box entries, & penalty area receptions... very intense defender as well
Bloom's Hearts ST DNA
National/Ligue 3 is one of the most overlooked European markets imo, great to see Hearts trust the level & quality of the league. Has been slowly but surely creeping into my "Ben's favorite leagues" rankings over the past 2 years 😂
Tony Bloom's Hearts with another pressing, depth-threatening ST from a lower division outside their region
Don't have to have the best scoring numbers overall, but they have to be workhorses and show underlying skills that shine so bright with better teammates overall
FYI another one right up the top of the model at time was Mateo Biondic (22). Joined Union SG (also Jamestown) from 4th tier German side Eintracht Trier for £175k in January and has smashed it since & probably a big sale down the line. Talent everywhere just have to be brave
Came up VERY high on my model for <£500k listed out of contract CF’s few months back and looked into (obviously wasn’t actually OOC in the end)
Of course Hearts picked him up! Interesting player and profile
This hasn’t gone viral the way it should.
Jamie Corry, an Irish lad from east Belfast, has lost his home of 13 years after masked rioters set fire to cars outside and it engulfed his house in last night’s violent chaos.
He stood right there and begged one of them:
“This is my house. This is my house.”
They didn’t care.
They burned it anyway.
“They’ve done it to one of their own.”
These racist, uneducated thugs and street urchins destroy everything in their path. They don’t care who gets hurt: locals, families, their own community. Just mindless arsonists ruining innocent lives with no excuse.
I am old enough to remember the Ian Huntley riots when people went out in fury at a White man who raped and murdered two schoolgirls.
Except of course nobody did, and if it happened now nobody would.
The outrage is selective to their racism, and everybody sees it.
44-year-old Daniel Frost from Southampton has been jailed for two years and four months for violent disorder and possession of an offensive weapon, a dog lead with a metal carabiner that he had turned into a makeshift knuckleduster.
He has 25 previous convictions for 55 offences, including a six-year prison sentence for GBH and robbing an 80-year-old woman, as well as public order and burglary offences.
🇬🇧The youth of Ulster are calling for round two in Belfast today... Most Schools and shops were closed at noon and things are looking very serious
The UK government needs to understand that these guys are not to be taken lightly.
Stop the Boats Mr Starmer ...In Gods name take heed!
🔴 Impensable il y a vingt ans.
Hier soir à Belfast, des protestants du quartier de Shankill et des catholiques d'Ardoyne, deux quartiers séparés par Crumlin Road et qu'il était impossible de traverser durant la guerre civile côte à côte. Ceux qui se sont entre-tués pendant les Troubles. Unis contre l'immigration de masse. L'histoire s'accélère. @DamienRieu
