Ritson? Absolutely, haven't seen many worse judges in my 50 years of watching boxing

As a person who has had 2 strokes, I see nothing wrong with this, just humour. In fact this is how my wife knows that I've been drinking too much because my right eyelid and cheek droop, I don't notice it though :laugh:, no hiding the fact I'm getting bladdered from her now :laugh:

Rochdale are doing their level best to beat them to the bottom of the table but Garnerball is winning out atm thankfully

Same for me, my Dad used to do the same in the 50s and 60s, but luckily for me my Mums Dad steered me towards City :laugh:

And socially distanced, it's just like the real thing!

Yes Bromley Heath have improved, they're coming for the Gas

Garnerball, like Moneyball except they remove the talent and the winning of games. Long may it live.

I'm hoping it will be somewhere my IPTV, lunchtime kick off over here in Canada, got my sandwiches and beer at the ready!

Looks more like the set of a new Hostel movie

I just want them to fail without the chance for them to blame whatever circumstances, just to fail on their own merits so to speak

I know I'm in the minority, but I would like to see the Gas get their new training facilities, new ground so that their "fan base" cannot give any more excuses for not turning up for their games, not getting promotion to the Championship and then their inevitable slide into the bottom league again despite having everything in place for them to do so.

Bump, want Gerrard off of the front page!

Way better performance, but when your attacks on goal are just crosses into the box it makes it so easy for the opposition to deal with, where is the guile to pass the ball to feet and open up the opposing team? Ah well, another season wasted

But LJ said that he can see us going on a run...........!!

Rice paper

Lee to Burnley, Dyche to Bournemouth, Howe to us, right that's sorted, I'm off for a beer

Tom Cribb as you say born in Wick, John Gully as I mentioned before, and a few more notables are Henry "Hen/ the game chicken" Pearce, friend of Gully, James/ Jem Belcher, grandson of Jack Slack who defeated Jack Broughton, a man who moved to Bristol from Cirencester aged 12 to work in the docks and learned to box there. Tom Belcher, Jems brother, who won a fair few of his fights but was a great trainer of boxers . All except Tom became English champions, Bristol had quite a good standing in Georgian pugilist history

Wondering if anyone can recommend some books to buy or tv shows to watch. I have become slightly obsessed in trying to find out more about the old Georgian era bare knuckle pugilists from Bristol, it all started because of a chilhood memory flashback of a friend of my Dad's claiming to be descended from John Gully ( that was his name also, have been looking up his family tree on Ancestry and turned out he wasn't bulling), there were a few all time greats from Bristol and would love to know if anyone has information on other characters connected to Bristol too. Sorry for the long post

Better than whats there already!

Mike Ashley is looking for an EFL club to buy apparently. If he bought them and then they were relegated perhaps the newspaper headline would be "Ashley Down"........I'll get me coat

My wife has done the same to me, now I'm getting suggestions for 80s hair metal bands and country music ffs!

And 2 stroke apparently

The 70s version, I was still at school so had to bicycle down there from Winterbourne :laugh:

I used to love going to Eastville Stadium every week.............to watch the speedway! :laugh:

I bought some beautiful ocelot trimmed winklepickers from there!
