Lanterne Rouge

Well it can`t be for his white ball bowling that`s for sure.

Can`t see it myself - the rest of cricket will just see it as the ECB favouring their pet sides and giving in to Strauss`s whining. Every other county (bar the tossers from Surrey) will detest them for it. Just suck it up Middlesex - you weren`t good enough when it mattered. You really are the Bristol R*vers of County Cricket, always the victims.

Jack Leach was being touted today on the 5extra commentary on the Middlesex game. TBF he was unplayable.

Ah, the sign of quality. Just proves what a philistine I am.

I`m struggling to work out which is which. Can you give me a clue?

It looks like the cover is just a couple of superlap fencing panels laid flat FFS. The g*shead was right when he said it was worse than Santa`s Grotto. What I want to know is, why wasn`t this featured in the EP list of major improvements they were crowing about last week? Surely it`s the jewel in the crown.

It all makes sense now. If they were purchased for a disabled area then they would be exempt from VAT - every penny saved and all that.

Surely not. Even they aren`t that cheapskate.......................are they?

It would be - fans too perhaps as you could make a decent break out of it - but I`m sure there are a lot of clubs in the league that would like to do the same and you can`t please everyone I guess.

Just posted the same on the Test Cricket thread in non-football! Good to see the City flag hanging off one of the flat balconies too.

Terrific shot of a City flag hanging from one of the balconies of the flats!

WI won the toss and put us in. They`ve just been showing some aerial shots of the surrounding area including the blot on the landscape down the road. Sir Ian said it`s where Bristol Rovers play but it used to be the rugby ground. He then said that it was about to be rebuilt - I do wish he would do his research properly, it will be redeveloped when hell freezes over would have been the correct thing to say.

Absolutely. Is there a more depressing intro than `Well, I listened on the radio Geoff and I think Johnson.........`?

He`d be a good fit up in Horfield. They just talk Farking bollocks all the time too.

You`d have thought a lot more would have gone what with all the new facilities and everything.

Still 8th, 1pt off the playoffs, 8 above the bottom three. I`ll take that after nine games.

0 - 0. Sounds like we were out of sorts today but I`d take a point at Norwich all day long.

It`s more likely to be Bobby with the unusual middle name of `get the **** in`

Off to a bloody Christening in Exeter in half an hour so gonna be relying on you lot for updates. Should be back for the second half though.

They`ve got a few out looking at their forum, Martin & Naismith definitely, Maddison possibly and it appears touch and go if Hoolahan will be fit. They say some nice things about Korey on there too.

Lets just hope we don`t go into meltdown on here if we do get beaten badly. Norwich as far as I can see are the sort of side that we`ll either beat narrowly or lose by a few to.

Oh it is. it will be just up his street, a medium sized arts centre with a fairly small audience.

The Plough in Torrington.

I`m going to see the legend that is JCC tonight!

And I`m guessing it would be the Donna Summer version?
