Ska Junkie

A very attacking side, if not a little lightweight.

I'm in the Pack / GON partnership away from home supporting group as it's a lot more solid but LJ is certainly playing a very positive side tonight.

My condolences Rich, to you and to your family. Although your dad had a great and long life, it's still your dad and the pain is the same for all of us.

Take care and remember the happy times. R.I.P.

COYR, let's do it for Richs' dad and for Gerry!

Just had a read of their thread about Gerry Gow which had some nice comments, fair play.

Then, I stumbled on to a 'Getting r*vers Championship ready' thread. Boy, do they underestimate how big the gulf in class is between L1 and the Championship / Prem 2! A few seem to think they could survive with their plucky little team as it is because they beat Cardiff reserves and lost to Chelsea. They're mid table in L1 aren't they?

Un-bloody- believable. They don't seem to remember that we absolutely destroyed L1 yet really found it hard going at this level. Yes, Burton have done well but they will probably slide due to a very small squad. 

The Mem as a Championship ground? They really don't learn do they?

Persistent foul and abusive language can also mean a season-long ban. This includes any abuse aimed towards players, staff and home or visiting fans.

Christ, if they ever played us there wouldn't be any of them left! 

Gone quiet on here..

LITTLE JOHNNY IS BACK:

The teacher asked the class to use the word “fascinate” in a sentence.

Molly put up her hand and said, “My family went to my granddad's farm, and we all saw his pet sheep. It was fascinating."

I'm a City fan, what have I got to be envious about?

I didn't even post that anyway 

Shouldn't nave been you fella, I quoted the methane snorter St Andrews sag so have no idea why your name came up.

No offence meant.

some of your fans, and again I say some...like to say that fans of clubs like Swindon, Cardiff, Plymouth say they hate us more than you lot- complete utter joke talking to fans of those clubs over many years in my experience

You've never been in a position for those clubs to be jealous of you have you? 

Envy, a terrible thing!

Catholic School boy maybe... 

Really?

Any need for this? I'm a catholic, a male and went to school.

Ignorant ****!

3 bloody nil!! 

Go City! 

I can't call this, great drama though.

No. The umpires set the level for the match the first time they have to go off which was on Tuesday. If it drops below that level at any time in the match after that they`re supposed to go off.

What if they haven't had bad light so wouldn't have a pre-determined figure?

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

Wouldn't they 'offer' light to the batting side? No way would Yorkshire take it.

.... and if was Somerset doing it you'd all be delighted.

(Not unlike teams wasting time at football when they're winning - great if it's City, cheating it it's not).

True enough Calculus, still feels wrong though although I can see the logic.

240 at 6 an over. Hmmmm.

As Athers said in commentary, it's been going on since God was a boy....

Of course, plus if it wasn't affecting Somerset, we wouldn't give a monkeys. 

Doing the rain dance but it doesn't appear to be working.

The trouble is, Yorkshire got the bonus point at 350, 

 

Exciting if your one of those counties....

 

Nothing changes though does it? If it's a draw, we win it?

Atherton just said he heard '37 overs', lose 2 for the change of innings, that means 5 or 6 more 'free runs' overs leaving Yorkshire to chase 240ish off 37?

I don't see how Middlesex can win.

Once it gets to 40 overs left and Middlesex over 200 in front, I can see the declaration. 40 overs at 5ish an over I reckon.

This is so contrived that it's a joke.

The only losers here are Somerset.

I took a day off to go down to Taunton for the last day, typical that the Cidermen won in 3 days.

Now glued to the Middlesex v Yorkshire match on tele praying it's a draw.

'Mon the Cidermen.

Anyway

Nearly 6,000 days, that's a very long time!

3-1 City through nothing other than rose tinted blind faith.

Just a bit lucky then!! If I were a Walsall supporter, I would not be a happy bunny!

Come on Tommo!

That's just incredibly ****** up. I would like to think that a large majority of his own compatriots would think the same surely?

In case you were wondering, my post was dripping with sarcasm. It's what I expect from the most rose tinted of the tunnel dwellers TBH.
