I think it's more likely they are booing Everton off don't you?

Whoosh 

Liverpool fans booing their team off. Disgrace

Assuming those in uproar when Dyche got sacked are now very quiet!

Nothing better for me than seeing youngsters in a team.  The more the merrier and I’d happily be in league one if it meant watching a team full of kids playing good football with desire.  Hopefully Idehen is another one to add to a growing list.   Well done Nige for playing them.  I would love to see the next two games line up like this

                     O’Leary

           Cundy. Klose. Atkinson 

Tanner.   Williams.  James    Idehen

                    Weimann 

             Conway     Semenyo

Firstly, let me start off by saying that I’ve absolutely no idea who the above named band are. 

Secondly, I can deduce that they appear to be quite popular and are appearing in Bristol on Thursday evening. 

Lastly, my next door neighbour has 5 tickets and can no longer attend. She’s had it that they can be reprinted and picked up at the box office by a named person  

Given that most of you are local to there, and are probably more trendy than me, does anyone want to buy them at face value?

Drop me a message if you do. 

Cheers. 

An Out of touch Fordy

They are currently number one in the album charts mate. Keep up! 

3-0 Liverpool. Lots of happy OTIBers tonight!

Is that the only reason you’d want MacAllister in charge, or do you genuinely feel he’d be an upgrade on Pearson?

Thought it was Johnson and Mac.  You saying it’s just McAllister?

Ordering popcorn now for the OTIB meltdown 

Praying this is true 

Less than 13k there apparently

Reading and Derby beat these recently. We rarely even give top 8 sides anything to think about let alone beat them

And Rob Key’s qualifications amount to….?

Harrison gives the reason as:

Following a thorough recruitment process, Rob stood out in a very competitive field," said ECB chief executive officer Tom Harrison.

"His passion and knowledge of the game at domestic and international level is outstanding. He is a proven leader and combines an approachable nature with fresh original thinking and resilience which will stand him in good stead. 

"He will bring a lot to the role and I am sure players and staff alike will enjoy working with Rob."

It seems an odd one to me as well.  Very interested to see what plans he puts in place to chance the short term and the long term.  Agree with you on Broad as captain. Seems by far the most sensible short term solution

@And Its Smith did you have Sheff Utd to get promoted or top 3?

It was to get promoted but I cashed out.  £5 bet to win £980 and cashed out for about £240. Rotherham isn’t a definite now either so was a good decision I think

If ederson is playing I reckon it’s only 1-0. 

0-0 I reckon 

Poor keeping again. 3-0

Weren’t we linked with Zak Steffen at one time?

Yep. Bit pie in the sky though I think like Jesse Lingard!

Another signing from Bristol Inner City Academy I believe

Just don't get why pundits see Stokes as the obvious choice. Leaving aside injury concerns England's record of promoting their 'superstars' to captain has not met much favour in recent times, Botham, Pietersen, Flintoff immediately spring to mind. If Morgan isn't playing red ball cricket then personally I'd look at Bairstow, another gritty yorkshireman. 

Stokes is the only other player who is an automatic pick so I think it’s only natural that he is the favourite

From all accounts I’ve read and heard, Bairstow isn’t captain material 

Picking a player who can’t get in the team seems mental to me. It’s got to be someone who is an auto pick 

Stokes has always said he doesn’t want it but now I guess we will find out if he was just saying that at the time. If not him then Broad. There’s nobody else. Seen some people talking about Abell, who is in incredibly bad form for Somerset so an appointment like that would be truly baffling

Right now we need to stop the rot.  Should have created a road and at least got some bonus points/draw.  This looks pathetic again. 

The best looking wicket isn’t even being used. Green top was not the way to go, I agree

Good toss to win on this pitch. Seaming all over the place

Bit stronger side this time around. Time to end the run of defeats and beat these *****

 

If cricket was played on paper that team would be right near the top of the league come the end of the summer!

Sorry, as I've said before, got nothing against women playing cricket or football...good on them. But I'm very much against the "batters" crap. Just call them as they are , batsmen and batswomen.. Batters play baseball and rounders. It shouldn't be beyond the ingenuity of the people who work scoreboards (as they're mostly all digital ) to change the names to suit each sex .BTW, what do they now call 12th man ?

I think you will barely notice it
