NZ lost inside three days to SA this morning. India v Aus appears to be heading for a draw. Aus 451, India 360/6 at the end of day three. The Afghans beat the Irish by 34 runs in a one day international. In a few years time, will we possibly see Afghanistan invited to replace Zimbabwe as a Test nation?

Whatever else, only Tomlin and not LJ can be blamed for that

Pardon my ignorance, but what does the acronym FTG mean please? In Loyalist parts of Ulster "FTP" is a crude insult aimed at the Pope. Are the Rovers fans insulting their own beloved Gas? In both cases I assume the T stands for The.

For City as well as the rugby?

And they showed City how to take a lead, admittedly concede some, but then hold out for that important win!

As Newcastle play Brighton on Tuesday, did they rest any 1st team regulars today or did we get a point against their strongest team?

OK, so many expected not just a defeat, but a thrashing and we've drawn. Well done players!

But didn't that end in a favourable result?

gas hit an OG now!

That was said about the WBA 0 - City 1 game in the 75-76 promo run and we won that in un n all!

So it's only City players who are scoring and an OG does not count as a shot on target for the oppos. COYR!

Has City's half time score been announced at the Mem?

Just for interest sake; Colin Daniel has scored at Exeter for Blackpool.

You've been following City long enough to know they lose when we expect a win and win when we expect to lose.

India 99/6 at tea on day three.

Day 3 of the 1st test India v Australia. The Indian batting collapsed in their 1stinnings and now they need 441 to win. Currently India are 45/3. Are the Aussies brilliant or have India imploded since playing England only a few months ago?

India had scored nearly 700/6 in their innings. End of day 3 and the Bengalis have lost six wickets, but still have less than half India's runs.

Branching out from county cricket, South Africa completely outplayed Sri Lanka to win a series 5-0 and India had to work hard to beat England. India are now playing a test series against Bangladesh. The two teams may be geographic neighbours, but their standard of play is miles apart. India declared at over 600/6 on day 2 whilst the Bengalis finished on 41/1. Are the established Test playing nations drifting into two tiers?

Nothing new. When Rovers sold the Eastville Stadium to the Greyhound people, the Rovers squad was not strengthened, but (allegedly on another forum) quite a few Rolls Royces were then seen in the Rovers Directors carpark.

Start off as tenants at Neville Road County Ground. Glos CCC have a cash shortfall one year and need a cash injection. You can work it out for yourself.

"A fabulous overhead kick from magnificent Brett Pitman".

"Sears had an empty net, but Bristol City had a player on the line". Minutes later "Sears has fluffed his shot whe he should have just swept it into the net".

Magnusson off due to hamstring injury and "Bristol City do not have any more defenders on the bench. It will be interesting to see what Lee Johnson does now".
