Pens is an abbreviation for penalties, mate 😃

In the knockout stages of a tournament, if the scoreline is tied after 90 minutes there is an extra-time period of 30 minutes to see if one team can triumph. If the scores are still level, penalties are then used to decide the winner.

Each team gets 5 penalties each - whoever scores the most penalties, wins. Each penalty has to be taken by a different player.

However, on occasion, the ties are still level after the 5 penalties are taken… this then results in a further round of 1 penalty each (sometimes referred to as ‘sudden death penalties’) - to be taken by players who have not yet taken a penalty - and it continues until there is a winner.

Sometimes this results in both goalkeepers taking penalties, occasionally against each other - which is quite a rare event, and usually fun/entertaining to watch.

If the scores are still level after everyone has taken a penalty - it just resets back to the players who originally took the set of 5 penalties - and continues until there is a winner…

This video may show / explain it better (a 15-14 win on penalties for Liverpool a couple of years back)…

Hopefully something like a 4-4 scoreline, followed by a high-scoring penalty shootout - with goalkeepers taking the deciding pens, will do for me 😃 Good luck to you too, mate.

Mate, this is an appreciation thread (especially re the 2015 film - as per the thread title - yes?)

If you’re going to state you didn’t enjoy or rate it, then at lest say which aspects you found wanting etc, or parts you did enjoy / thought were ok. Just calling something ‘shit’ in a thread like this isn’t on, mate.

This isn’t The Cantina (where lighter moderation is in place). And you’re better than that.

No worries mate. I forgot to say I love the artwork for the poster too; a great choice, and also your ‘The Anti_Cringe Cut’ text that makes it clear and concise - without impinging on the art too.

A snippet… ‘All roads led to Moscow, with almost all air, rail and road travel between the cities easiest through the capital. This meant Moscow became a fan hub, packed not only with fans awaiting games in the city but those stopping over for a day or two between the football. It was the World Cup of Google Translate and of Tinder, with thousands of friendships and relationships springing up between locals and fans.’

I’m curious if they’ll make a Solo sequel

It’ll be intriguing to see if they continue an arc into the next standalone film - maybe a character or two from Solo popping up, a continuation of The Crimson Dawn or Nefys Nest stories etc - in let’s say… a Fett or Kenobi ‘A Star Wars Story’ film… a mini-trilogy of sorts?

A direct Solo sequel? I hope so - though seemingly not. Books and comics may be the way for any continuance of the characters & events from Solo.

Started re-watching some episodes from DS9 lately, thought this was rather apt…

Really was a quality series - discussing some topics ahead of it’s time (or what was to come - terrorism, freedom, religion, politics and the more negative aspects - and results - of war). Some superb guest and recurring actors really helped the show too - and some great layered and detailed writing too, of course.

We’re somewhat getting away from the thread topic - and now going over ground repeatedly covered in great depth in at least two other threads.

Same here - a shame as there are some intriguing things you have listed in your Change List - though that mocking of Rian Johnson didn’t help in your trailer, either. Feel free to disagree with him, state why, and make as much of an Edit you’d have preferred it to be with whatever footage there is etc - yet this repeated ‘no… no… no…’ mimic thing… it’s a ‘no…’ for me.

That said, there’ll no doubt be people who will like it. An you’ve obviously put some time and energy into it, whilst making some bold decisions - good luck.

After the timing issue of it missing the deadline for last season’s awards I’d have thought he would have received a nomination (and the show more nominations).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/70th_Primetime_Emmy_Awards

What about Twin Peaks? The 2018 Emmys’ bizarre snubs - The Guardian

There does look to be some quality on in there (and some I’ve haven’t seen or heard of).

I hope Elizabeth Moss wins for her performance in The Handmaid’s Tale - absorbing, layered and worth watching for that alone (it’s quality show overall too).

Quality idea for a thread, DC 😃
