My reply was a bit tongue in cheek but I think everything is legal until you access subscription channels without a subscription, then as you say that’s too good to be true. From what I can gather it’s only those supplying that have been prosecuted. I’m sure others will be more informed than me.

Oh ffs! Poor lad.

Just make sure you’ve blocked everyone on this forum that work for the police when you come back to tell us you’ve bought one

I hadn’t realised both Flintoff’s sons played.

Over the years there have been games that I’ve been surprised at when they’ve shaken hands. Nowadays especially since T20 things can turn so quickly with someone hitting 20 off an over or 3 wickets falling in an over.

Only the 3rd time every county has played and every game has ended in a draw.

Yes we had one in Carcassonne that was ran by a couple from India. When we got to know them we explained that we liked our curries with a bit more spice than the a French and they would prepare meals especially for our taste. They soon realised that most Brits liked it that way and would then offer any Brits eating there the spicier menu. Our French friends could barely handle a Korma. Also had a very good one in Marseille once but besides that very hard to find decent ones.

Kasey Aldridge is my new favourite Somerset player. I loved the look of his batting last year with his ever improving bowling he COULD make a genuine very good all rounder. Of course we’ve seen many promise so much only to falter, Banton the latest, but atm I love the look of him

Everyone was fine on Saturday, though we weren’t long in there as I had a train to catch. These things can happen though. Enjoy Rassay, if you come back with a glowing review I might have to make a summer trip up at some point.

Phew!

Come on Somerset, 5 to go for a famous victory.……….maybe? No! Ill take the draw

It feels like it’s rained every day this winter/spring where the hell is it when you need it!

Holy shit, I had kind of forgotten about the T20 effect. Overton and Gregory were making it look so easy I thought they and the other 2 would bat until time to shake hands.

Had a post match curry in Raj - Kings St on Saturday. Haven’t been for years and although it’s one of the old school Indian restaurants I really enjoyed it, some lovely flavours. I’m looking forward to trying Rassay but might have to wait until next season. I’m off to Little French next month for my birthday, so looking forward to that.

Decent effort from Somerset today, could have easily folded early doors and lost that. Be good to get Abell and Umeed back and hopefully the bowlers get into more of a rhythm. Looking forward to the first day at Taunton on Friday. Sad to see the passing of Deadly Derek Underwood. He was a huge presence in cricket when I started watching, very deadly on the uncovered wickets we had in those days

The Mods versus Rockers seaside battles were a bank holiday thing across the country at most big seaside resorts. Some huge battles went on but it was always just old fashioned fighting, no knives or stuff like that

Some great footage there, I first started visiting Bristol 2 or 3 years after that aged 12/13 just as we got to the top flight. As an outsider, from West Somerset, I soon fell in love with the city and that love for the place remains as strong today as it had throughout, including all the years I lived there. I’m definitely an honorary Bristolian. My memories of Weston back then were almost entirely from visits to Clarence Park to watch Somerset CCC. Very happy memories. I absolutely loved watching cricket there, you were really rubbing shoulders with some of the worlds best players on a small park that wasn’t even a cricket ground. Really sad when it stopped.

They were filming near us in the lower Lansdown for a while in the first half. No idea if it was a club thing or outsiders.

I moved second half to that side of the Dolman so had a great view. It was definitely one of those that sometimes get given (today) sometimes don’t (us for about 3 years) Overall I thought the ref was pretty good today, seemed to have just the right amount of chat with the players and a sense of humour. Oh and she seems to have upset Joey Barton who’s making judgement on a persons whole career on one decision on one camera angle, so that’s good.

With a couple overs to go a very Somerset type of day at the Oval. I really like the look of this years batting line up, even better when Abell returns. But even with all those capable batters in the team I’m still always waiting for a collapse followed by a bit of a tail wag. Plus whenever we get the opposition in late in the day we never seem to profit from that awkward pre close session. Hoping Bash takes a hat trick now to prove me wrong.

Not recently but I’ve done exactly the same before and was surprised when I couldn’t pick it up on the Saturday having ordered in the previous week. Not wanting to derail the thread but I thought the ‘74 anniversary shirts would be ready for collection now, anyone know?

My wife is a Stoke fan, I’m scared too.

Maybe penalties don’t count as shots?

That was good! I’m enjoying these clean sheets and now goals galore. Also enjoying see a city team not putting their flip flops on just because we’re safe.

Missing tonight’s game as I didn’t feel up to it after having to get our 21 year old cat put to sleep this afternoon but that has cheered me up. Blackburn have looked so poor at the back and we should be 4 up but still very enjoyable.
