Northern Red

1-0, Conway pen after Benarous was fouled.

Broken the record for the most balls faced by a West Indian in a Test match. More even than Lara when he got 400 or 375.

If we could just get Brathwaite...

Bristol City St George's Cross flag on prominent display on the fine leg boundary today.

Sean O'Driscoll

Excellent news, fully deserved. And we all know he loves a goal against the Welsh.

A "has been" who's a full 11 months older than the man you think should be managing us?

Yep, this one included.

Ominous start. Not so much what France are doing, but the **** with the whistle.

Barnsley and Peterborough still have to play each other as well, plus Barnsley play Reading.

Some would call it bonkers....

Ah, the questions that none of the people screaming for Pearson to go can ever answer.

Easily.

We could lose every game 5-0 and the reality would still never be as bad as the meltdowns on here.

I know he's one of us, but Kevin Friend is a consistently hopeless referee.

Darren Gough said much the same on the radio earlier. Kemar Roach was interviewed after play had finished yesterday and was having a proper moan about the pitches in the Caribbean, how they do nothing for fast bowlers and aren't enjoyable to bowl on. All the hallmarks of a man thinking "why am I still doing this?"

Can't fault the effort today but they're getting no help from the pitch. Just have to hang in there and hope it breaks up over the next couple of days.

There's plenty of legitimate criticism that can be levelled at Lansdown without having to resort to inventing things to have a go at him over. Otherwise it just reeks of an agenda. Same goes for Pearson, Johnson, Holden and whoever else.

In your wet dreams.

Do you like anything about the club? If not, why are you still here?

Yep. I wonder if they ever considered that 2 spinners might be the way to go?

Leach will be liking the amount of turn that Permaul was starting to get in the last few overs.

Simpson is currently on BT doing punditry on the Leicester game.

Yep. Must have been a nice change for him to come in at 250-3 instead of 25-3. I think I heard them say they were expecting 10k out there on the radio yesterday.

Genuinely think that the only way that a significant chunk of our fanbase might wake up to the reality of the financial situation is if we get hit with a points deduction and/or transfer embargo. And even then, there'd be some who still wouldn't get it.
