Thanks Tom. Dunno why it's not on the BBC Cricket site tho.

Liam Plunkett injured too now - surely we can put a total together now?

I can't find Somerset on the BBC cricket section. Where can I find it?

Good news for those who don't have Sky.

I can't imagine the BBC will be able to equal let alone overtake  the top quality Sky coverage.

As I can't find the jokes I'll post one here and the mods can merge it.

"daddy, why do people hang horses?"

"no-one hangs horses darling. Where did you hear that?"

"mummy was on the phone and she said that her new boss is hung like a horse"

If I knew how to start a poll, I would.

With only two local County Cricket clubs it looks as if otib is split between the mighty Somerset and the average Gloucestershire........

Betting?

The nature of that result will be thoroughly investigated for sure......

4 down Klingon gone.

I spent many years in Somerset and both my children were born in Musgrove Park Hospital, Taunton so I'm delighted that it looks like Gloucester are going to lose.............

I'm not a boxing fan at all but having seen AJ in various interviews since his win I have been impressed with his demeanour and the way he presents himself.

Bright and articulate and very humble. Not what you see from many boxers, I was pleasantly surprised.

Wolves have been on a decent run of form and they'll be very aware of City's precarious plight and try to take full advantage of an unhappy and volatile crowd.

If they score early...........

Henson was indeed the catalyst. Even at 35 he's still very classy.

Bristol 12 Bath reserves 11

A win is a win......

The same reason anyone else has Robbo? They just have less of palette to work with for obvious reasons.

The point of the question was why to black guys with a darker pigmentation have tattoos when they can't be seen clearly?

i thought the idea of tattoos was look artistic but if you can't see them very clearly..........

Have SSN on in the background and boxing came on promoting the Khan/Pac fight followed by a black guy called the "bronze bomber".

I looked at this guy and saw that his body was  badly bruised already but then I realised that the "bruises" were in fact tattoos.

My question is - why do black guys have tattoos?

That's a "whoosh" for me Griff.

I'd be pleased if he was in form but he hasn't been great which is my main concern. I agree that his experience will definitely help, especially against an experienced (although currently not very good) Forest team.

Why the zzz zzz zzz then?

I'd start Brownhill over O'Neil, not only has he earned it but I think Hegler will provide us with enough experience/quality in that area.

GoN and Hegeler complimented each other at Fleetwood protecting the back three. No surprise that LJ has selected them together again today. 

Difficult match to call this one.

I like both of them so don't really mind who wins.

Those bowls away fixtures sound a bit naughty 

I'd stick to football from now on

 

I've seen blokes rip their hats off and stamp on them....but usually their anger is verbal and channeled at their team mates .

You get called a "jammy bastard" when you play a clever shot.....

This thread has turned into a trip down memory lane for some of us.

Now if there ever trouble between football fans I tend to take a dim view of it before I remember that I was exactly the same back in the old days.

As Clint Eastwood said in The Unforgiven " I ain't like that no more" - thankfully.

My memory is slightly different to yours. We first went to Swindon in '69, As far as I am aware from then until the segregation came in, when we "took" the Town end, it STAYED "took" !

It was around 45 years ago Slarti. Age can play tricks with yer memory. I don't remember ever holding the Town End but that doesn't mean City didn't it do.

Swindon is such an irrelevant club and Town that I feel it's impossible to have any hatred for them, maybe it's just because I can remember the fun days we had on the Town End back in the 70's

If you were there back in the 70s then youll know just how much trouble there was between fans, made worse by the violence dished out by the Wiltshire Police. What a bunch of thugs they were.

I and a load of lads went to the County Ground  every time we played there and "took" the Town End many times but never able to hold it for long. That's where I got such a kicking I ended up in hospital with badly bruised ribs and a fracture.

I hasten to add that I was a teenager back then and getting into punch ups was part of the "fun". 

Thankfully I grew out of that pretty quickly.

 Sorry, what I found strange about your comment was that you had a bigger dislike for Swindon and Cardiff than Rovers, personally I feel totally indifferent towards the two of them whereas Rovers, apart from being totally Reprehensible are also   pathological liars

As I posted earlier in this thread, each to their own.

I have solid, historical reasons for greatly disliking Swindon and Cardiff but no historical or current reasons for feeling the same towards the Gas.

41 minutes ago, harrys said:

What a very strange comment, you are surely on your own there

So no other City fans have mates who follow the Gas?

If that is what you're saying then that's a very strange and one eyed comment.

So ,you wouldn't mind there being threads on here about how crap Swindle and Cardiff are, then? 

Not in slightest. In fact I'd welcome them and join in.

Really?

Yeah, really.

Swindon because it's a shit hole of a place full of inbreds who think that Swindon Town FC are the greatest team in the West......  There's a great amount of history between the fans going back to the 70s and the only place I ever got a real kicking and then arrested before being taken to PMH to get treated for a busted rib. 

Cardiff because it's Cardiff! It's actually a nice City despite being full of taffies. The amount of grief they've caused us on and off the pitch over decades is immense. They're as close as I've ever got to hating a football club and now that Colin is there it's even closer.
