Lanterne Rouge

One bit of good news - James Hildreth became the third highest Somerset run scorer of all time today. He`s only behind Harold Gimblett and Tres. Well done Hildy.

Missed out on a money spinning trip to Sherborne then.

But, but they took three times as many as the stadium actually holds to Wembly.............................................................

And it takes about six posts to descend into an `I`m a bigger fan than you` bitchfest. Hilarious. A new poster has also started a Barton out thread and within about five posts our old friend Henbury S*g has accused him of being a gurt sheed. It has now been pointed out to him by others that this is unlikely as the last thing City fans want is Barton sacked!

Nas reckoned Lancs were just about over par. No doubt Somerset will allow the tail to put on another 100 as usual though so no need to worry unduly.

My first game in person since pre-covid Fulham and I have to admit I enjoyed it. There was far more intent from us than the last couple of seasons and I`m not unduly worried that we`re going to struggle if we carry that on. As others have said, it was two very similar sides who I suspect will finish within three places of each other somewhere between 9th and 16th. For a 0-0 draw it was an entertaining game - I`ve seen far worse over the years.

Pete Trego said earlier he has a slight back problem.

Masked man reported spying on Claverham couple at night - BBC News Surely someone in the village must have some idea who this is?

I do believe that is the blessed and much missed Terry Cooper playing for them in those clips.

Hartlepool away. Probably just the two or three thousand will make the trip up there which is disappointing really.

Weston (if they get through) v Taunton could be a bit tasty.

That`s that then.

308 all out. A lead of 174. Another innings defeat I fear.

Thanks all. I`ll give them a go I think if I can get tickets.

I don`t fancy us trying to bat the day for a draw so should we go for it?

We`re fighting back at least. Got them five down and still 8 behind. I expect Jack enjoyed getting Dom`s wicket!

They might. I believe the council have said they have to stop using candles. Not anything to do with the fire risk, they`re worried some of the dribblers might eat them.

They would and take it home with them to worship it. All hail the bringer of magic light!

They`ve tried but building control said no. They were worried about the impact of the extra weight on the structure.

Exactly what Nas and Athers have been saying since tea.

Oh dear, not a good start at Scarborough. 14/2

No. They are a Smiths tribute band but are called The Smyths.

I`m surprised they don`t do a Dean Windass one.

Signed by the man himself with, wait for it, a silver pen! Put me down for twenty!
