Yes the only chance of us not losing is to go for it 100% Neither team have anything to lose so could be interesting. This week has made me realise how much i miss not being in the mix in the last round. I know we get stick for being runners up all the time but having that chance of glory from the start of the season to its very end is brilliant and I feel sorry for those counties that haven't experienced it much.

No, definitely not intentional. Disappointing that even Jack Leach can’t hold up an end.

Somerset seem to be offering up declaration bowling. I thought a draw was favourite an hour ago now Warks are clear favourites

Good to hear it’s still going? I think I’d have to choose my drink wisely if I was starting a stag do in there

Sounds like Nogbad is the man to write a book about Bristol pubs, great knowledge and I’m sure a lot of research done over the years. I used to live near Cotham Porter Stores, a pub I could easily get very Merry in even if I just popped in for a quick one. I don’t suppose it’s there anymore.

I think it was really important we didn’t finish the season with yet another 100 all out, that could have spelt disaster going into next season. Even if we lose, if we put up a fight and a few people get runs it’ll be something to work with in the winter

I must admit I had to Google Longlevens FC, not one of football’s better known derby games……unless you’re from Gloucester. Great crowd

When I saw it on Twitter last night I could only watch a few seconds it was so cringy. I still can’t watch anymore today but can someone tell me, does he go and get his guitar?

I e been at QPR today so haven’t been on here but that was fun reading through the semi final posts . i did manage to watch or listen to nearly all of our matches, incredible semi, to be honest I never expected us to get out of our group, to win our quarter final or semi final, so yet another bridesmaid moment doesn’t feel too bad this time. How many runners up’s have we had this century so far!

Yes, I’m loathe to criticising Kalas because he’s immense at putting his head and body on the line. I just remember other debuts, in defence especially and there’s always a Carey, Taylor figure next to them making life easier.

Having said that I thought he did ok and looks a good prospect

One thing about watching football at the subbuteo type stadium that is Loftus rd is you get a birds eye view of the defence at that end. The one thing I kept thinking was the lack of communication Tanner seemed to be getting from his fellow defenders. For me Kalas should have been in his ear with encouragement and advice all game but I only saw it once or twice. A lot of the times he looked a bit lost and looking for instructions. It doesn’t seem to be Kalas’ way, perhaps that’s why he isn’t captain anymore

That’s exactly why we didn’t want to win it this year, it’ll always be a season with an * next to it. Meaning there’ll always be someone like Glos fans saying you only won it because of Covid. Oh, that and the fact we’re in the worse form of the last decade.

I don’t think so, the Luton player just got his foot on the ball and flicked it against Bentley, it bounced clear for the other guy to cross. Should have been launched I to row z by one of them

I bet I wasn’t the only one to back the draw in the last 10 minutes? Horrible bet to win but it’s kind of inevitable at the moment at home

Look on the bright side, 3 of the next 4 games are away!

On holiday and I know I'm going to miss Han-Noah's first goal. COYR

Most seasons we have one bad day at the office that ultimately costs us the title but these 2 games are beyond farcical. What the hell is going on?

We don’t know how to lose a close game, we often win and look like champions but when we don’t we get hammered

Wow, I can’t remember a weaker looking bowling attack. Hopefully they’ll surprise us. Ive been meaning to ask because I wasn’t around for the Notts game, why didn’t RVDM bowl? I thought with him and Leach and a spin friendly wicket we’d have a chance but none of it happened

I think it’ll be worth bumping this thread on a regular basis, for those that haven’t caught up with it yet, those entering their final years of work and those who’ve done it and can offer advice and share experiences. If anyone’s considering taking up Norn Iron’s offer of a pensions advisor recommendation, do it. One thing I have found out is a good advisor is well worth the money.

We beat them at Taunton but got stuffed at Southampton, 100 all out. All be it with a very different side that will play in the semi final. I booked my train early to QPR away, thinking we had no chance of finals day

I think it’s all still to be decided this winter. I have a feeling there will be a 100 franchise team in the south west after all the stick they’ve had for ignoring us this season, which will be annoying. But besides that probably similar to this season, though could be some tweaking with the championship, we’ve still to see how this season plays out yet.

So would I. However, I wouldn’t deny someone that talented the opportunity to play for his country.

And what an absolute cracking night in front of a full house. To think we’ve not had any cricket for weeks at Taunton this summer holiday is just criminal
