Part of the decleration deal was Yorks were to keep going for it even when it was impossible. Middlesex coach admitted it. 

Oh well. Roll on April..

Makes it even more farcical.

Yorkshire- what do they have to gain from not going for it. Unless light or rain intervenes I don't see how it could or would finish a draw. And Yorkshire keep going for it, they will probably lose wickets if tney don't win and may lose.

Bookies have Yorkshire as 3rd faves

There is no way Somerset will win. If Yorkshire draw they finish 3rd, if they lose they'll be third. They will fight until death.

And yet they are favourites!

They could all easily be around the same price it's that close.

Somerset now slight faves

Somerset nearly favourites again!

If Somerset acted like this i would Be disgusted

If it clouds over like it has the last couple of days will the umpires dare take them off for light?

Yes 

Muggings and rapes have gone on this God was a boy. Doesn't make it right.  

Might be a bit strong but I'm pissed off.

Come on Somerset!  Bookies favourite now.

Just reacting to the goal 

Don't think so

Johnson has basically admitted to a selection error with a half time substitution which will result in change of formation

Don't see a problem with taking Batty at all.  They are taking a 19 year old and 21 year old who will both debut so looking at youth and future too.

Thanks!! Your PM has just compounded the whole thing by making allegations against 2 City fans that BCFC, SWFC etc should/would take very seriously indeed................if true!

How old are you?  Seriously?  Grow up man. I explained myself to you so just let it go.

That literally makes no sense whatsoever. You've been pulled on an outrageous statement and now trying to justify by talking in riddles

I will PM you if you like and the other doubter.

What?

I just can't fathom what goes through someone's head to make the leap between the comment you quoted and the Hillsborough disaster. 

Don't really want to go into it but don't assume the worst.

Really? I mean how does that even enter your head, reading his post? He didn't even mention the ground. 

Busy body.

If you were at the game you might know.

Noted it wasn't meant as I read it. Chill man.

This is true but I don't think this will happen.  I think we're a bit more resilient than we were and I think we'll be able to see it as a bad day at the office rather than a disaster...

I see what you did there.  Disaster...at Hillsborough.  A brave joke indeed.

That game was the epitome of a game of two halves.  Superb in the first half with a great game plan to stifle their midfield, Bannan in particular.  Pack played a bit further forward than most would have expected and it worked.  Wednesday had zero chances in the first time.  We had three and scored two goals - the opposite to Saturday.  

Pretty much every player was on their game in the first half.  I just don't know what happened in the second.  We were still 2-0 up when I told my mate next to me that we would lose this.  The players seemed to forget the plan.  Perhaps they thought, being 2-0 up, that they didn't need to play to it anymore.  

Obviously the penalty and O'Neill red card changed the game and proved once again that it is the fine margins that are important.  It looked to all that GON got the ball so I don't blame him.  

We had lost our heads before the red card but the wheels truly fell off afterwards. The ref looked at his watch five times before they scored.  It looked like we were slow to close down.

Ratings: first half/ second half

O'Donnell - 6/4 - nothing to do first half.  What is he doing for the second goal?!  

Little -7/3 - solid first half and got forward. One of the worst displays in recent times by a city player in the second.  His head went and he was all over the place

Flint - 7/6 - headed everything and marshalled back line well.

Magnusson - 8/6 - read the game well first half.  Missed a few headers and got bullied second half

Bryan - 8/8 - did nothing wrong and was everywhere

O'Neill - 9/7 - incredible first half.  Obviously red card ruined his second but think he got the ball

Brownhill - 8/5 - hassled everyone first half and good run for the second goal.  Disappeared second half big time

Pack - 9/5 - pressed very well first half and was immense.  Run ragged second half when we needed a calming influence 

O'Dowda - 5/5 - defended pretty well but offered nothing going forward all game

Tomlin - 5/3 - a passenger for pretty much whole time he was on the pitch.  Left Bryan exposed time and time again.  If he scores penalty then we win

Abraham - 10/9 - MOM.  Incredible game from the loanee.  Completely isolated second half.  Offered zero support from his teammates but kept going and had the two centre backs panicked. Won plenty of vital free kicks.  Looked shattered when the winner went in.

Truly gutted with tonight especially when they showed what they are capable of first half.  The makings of a very good team but that second half was truly awful.

It's ******* it down here.
