Just a heads up England V Sri Lanka in the T20 tonight is on BBC2 from 6pm

Glad it wasn't just me that the coverage froze for

So far so good against Surrey

Just my personal opinion but I would say EJ has a much bigger and wider appeal than Rod Fully expect it to sell out

It was originally, but as the thread was about podcasts and nothing specifically political I moved it to here

Obviously we already know about The Killers, bur there's been mention of possibly up to five more too. The reveal starts on Wednesday....

Looking at the size of the station planned I can't ever see it open anytime near a matchday

Do people "really" need one? I've never been convinced either way

Looking at how many covers are currently on, it's going to take some serious time to get the pitch ready. Cut off just after 9pm, sadly I'll be surprised if we get a game this evening

Everyone mentioning about finishing top etc, I'm sure if we were in Harlequins position we wouldn't be complaining The rules have been in place for a while, it is what it is. Everyone knows the set up from day 1 Let's face it if you can't see a game through after being 28-0 up you don't deserve to progress. I'm also not convinced we'd have been good enough to beat Exeter or Sale. As disappointing as the result is this evening the club should be proud how much they have progressed in a short space of time

THE ROBINS FOUNDATION TACKLE LONELINESS FRIDAY, JUNE 18TH 2021 This week people and organisations have come together to raise awareness for loneliness. It's no surprise that this past year has left a lot of people feeling lonely and isolated. As socialising was put on hold, those who had previously relied on attending weekly sessions for their social interactions really struggled. This was very much the case for some of the players of the Bristol City Walking Football team. When Covid-19 first hit back in March 2020 and sessions had to stop Lee Gillett - the Health and Well-being Lead at the Robins Foundation was conscious that some of the elderly players in the walking football team would find it difficult. To tackle this Lee would call to check in on players who lived alone for a chat and to make sure they had everything they needed. Lee would also knock on the player's doors that lived locally to him, for a chat and to drop off sport's equipment so players were able to stay active at home. For many of the players walking football means a lot more than just meeting up with friends and playing football, as for some it is the only social interaction they have. Pre-covid the players would stay after sessions had finished, for a cup of tea and coffee to catch up and check-in with one another. As a team, they would also have quiz nights and organise social events throughout the year. These formed friendships and solid support group has kept many of the players going when they were struggling with their own mental health issues or going through difficult periods of their lives. Lee Gillett said, "Our walking football sessions are much more than just a kick about, we have created a team spirit where we support each other on and off the pitch." To get involved and join the walking football team, feel free to come to the sessions below. Tuesday’s at Imperial Sports Ground South Bristol, BS14 9EA. 10:30am - 11:30am. Cost: £4 (Outdoors) Thursday’s at Imperial Sports Ground South Bristol, BS14 9EA. 10:30am - 11:30am.

Essentially yes Since I got a smart TV I just use the same apps on there now

What is it about that part of Bristol being so tin pot when related to sport The England and Wales Cricket Board says it is "disappointed and sorry" a used pitch will be played on for the one-off Test between England and India. The pitch that will be used at the County Ground in Bristol has already had 39 overs of men's Twenty20 cricket played on it on Friday night. England captain Heather Knight said the situation was "unfortunate". "It is not ideal and we would much rather be on a fresh one," Knight told BBC Sport. The four-day red-ball match begins on Wednesday. England found out about the situation last week and tried to get the pitch changed, but it was too late to prepare a fresh one. "We know that England Women deserve a fresh wicket and we are sorry that we were unable to provide that in this instance," an ECB spokesperson said. "With the Test only being added to the calendar in mid-April, coupled with the lack of available first class grounds, we knew a fresh TV pitch was going to be a challenge. "We accept that this issue shouldn't have arisen and we will make sure it doesn't happen in the future." While a used pitch may encourage more turn as the game goes on, it could also have the opposite effect. The pitch could flatten out and slow down, thereby making it difficult to force a result. It is unlikely that a men's Test would be played on a used pitch and women's Tests have often been criticised for being dull in the past, with pitches cited as part of the issue. "We're confident we've got the team to be able to take 20 wickets and score the runs to win a Test match," Knight said. "We can moan about it later - we've just got to play what's in front of us, we can't use it as a negative or an excuse or frustration." TAKEN FROM: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/57488424

Absolutely dig shit again Miles off the pace again. One bonus if Boris cancels freedom day I'll be spared paying £32 to watch that rubbish in two weeks
