Maesknoll Red

Not for long……

I’m sure Dr’s are being discouraged from dishing out antibiotics like smarties on request, due to the concern they are losing their effectiveness.

Not much ecstasy in Ashton Gate the last few years……

Another one gone with a positive test, Chisnell this time.

That was like watching two different Wrights in one match……

Traffic is shit, the council seem to be hellbent on making it worse. Some lovely areas on the outskirts, public transport is a bit crap as well. Some good restaurants and bars, great countryside and country pubs within easy reach. I like it ( mostly ) sometimes I have the misfortune to work in Doncaster, now that is a depressing place……

Another great game, Cross needed that 170 check to ensure he had it then.

Maybe the European Superleague wasn’t such a bad idea, let the real moneybags clubs disappear and use it to get football in this country back in a more level footing.

Apparently MvG was helping VvDV to practise and get him ready for the next round, such a shame, friends inadvertently thwarting each other’s chances.

MvG out with a positive test.

That is difficult reading and if there are other clubs in the same position, something is very wrong with football as a commercial entity, if it’s just us, there is a huge incompetence and mismanagement at play here. I do wonder, given some of the games I see, how £16K PW can be seen as a realistic and viable wage for the return we get.

Not doubting you’re right, but there is a dilemma, white ball cricket is very popular, I enjoyed the 100 and whilst I don’t watch womens football, I did enjoy the womens games (I think women cricketers are more accomplished at the sport, or maybe they just appear to play the same style as men? than women footballers, but that’s going off on a tangent). If the 100 was stopped, I’m sure it would pop up elsewhere, with players lured by the financial gain and fun of it. I’ve watched test matches (mainly on TV, but have done some at the ground) for as long as I can remember and usually enjoy them, I do find that I have less time nowadays to watch long spells of the game and I guess that’s the same for many who work. Someone needs to work out a system that allows for both types of cricket, maybe it needs a bizarre idea like the short form of the game awarding extra runs for longevity of innings, the team that loses the least wickets getting a bonus? Probably not practicable nor desirable by those who run the white ball game.

Not a milk chocolate fan really, so bespoke tempered dark chocolate tempered and crafted into delightful treats by a Master Chocolatier for me…..

I see our sensitive ears were protected by the crowd mics being turned right down as well…… he’s such a popular champion ?

Bollocks……

How will they manage if it’s a finalist?

Oh my, another collapse….

Sky Sports reporting it’s still on….. even COVID can’t save England!

R-JR holding his nerve well, but he does have plenty of youth titles, so maybe he’s not phased by it all.

Such a shame, what a different Barney from the last round. Oh well, for me now I am supporting the rest of the field to win, with the exception of Price.

I was just wondering why he was being referred to as. Bristolian and the book cover says African-American. I tried to read the Bristol live article, but for some reason anytime I try to go to any of the Reach group papers sites, my iPad locks and won’t let me scroll down.

Was he American?

Said to my Mrs what must Fallon Sherrock be thinking watching this, then the commentators said the self same thing. Not sure if my telly is bugged…… ?

Oh dear Dimitri, No5 seed bites the dust.

Different Barney from a couple of years ago in that post match interview, seems much happier and into it.
