Nothing to suggest it is an ACL other than a random pair above.

Funny that despite everything we saw last summer in respect of the reveal videos and the video weave it got a few folk still just don’t get it.

This isn’t the best of them but it’s achieved what it set out to.

If they do have 3 to go at I’d not be surprised to see them speed over 3 days.

They’ll do whatever social media experts suggest will give the biggest level of exposure. That could be all 3 in quick succession. I don’t know.

Some of the discussions on trials on this forum make me more determined to never be in a position where I am unfortunate enough to have to face a jury…..the thought of some of the folk on here or folk like them sitting in Judgement terrifies me!!

Is it perhaps possible that his accusers have finally got what they initially set out for in making the accusations, that being a bag full of cash? I’m not close enough to the story to have an opinion either way but I do find it distasteful when, just because someone has a few quid, if they aren’t c...

No play in the Littleborough and Clitheroe game.

Lowerhouse posted 216 all out from their 50 overs, pro 95 and Henri Cottam 60.

Norden were 67-4 from 27 when play was suspended for the day. Back tomorrow evening to finish the game off.

Who was the last player to score 19 or more goals for us in a season?...George Beal perhaps!!

What an odd post.

Just seen the photo of Ekdal, I think it’s fair to say that he looks quite warm for someone who’s been FROZEN out.

Having see the up close shots, with the detailing I think it will look better in the flesh than it does on the promo shots.

I thought last years kit looked awful until I saw it up close and it looked great.

arise_sir_charge

The only reason it looks like a Villa kit anymore than any of our previous kits is because of the sponsor.

I don’t mind it.

Well, it didn't happen. Decided to not start and called it a day.
Had a pint and a pizza and returned home. Not aware of new

Hoping for better luck today in the league.

The game will now be played next Sunday

I didn’t see the game, did he catch the penalty? If not, he’s no good for us.

You’ve made me want to test now, my dads side of the family are really dark and we know very little about any of his ancestors.
Unfortunately I got my mothers genes and I’m pasty

I tested because of how dark I am. Would you think I was part Swedish?

I did mine and it came back 78% English, 13% Scottish and the rest Swedish.

We get circa 9m from our new gambling sponsor deal, right? Would people prefer, hypothetically, if we were to engage several sponsors who would each pay a fraction of that, resulting in something like this: https://www.footballkitnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/New-Persib-Bandung-Jersey-2019.jp...

Wonder when the panic button will make an appearance… looks like some are already reaching for it.

So far looks like we have done some smart business…

It’s already been pressed, season is only 5 weeks away you know.

5 weeks tomo until the big KO. VK said it had helped us massively in terms of signings knowing our fate so early.I wonder if this is more in terms of knowing who we wouldn’t want for the PL that we would have wanted for the Championship. Doesn’t look like we’ve stolen a march on other clubs yet. We...

If Add ons are realised Trafford will be the tenth most expensive keeper in football history.

If the add one are realised it’s highly likely that not long after he will be much higher than tenth in that list.

I've just watched the full highlights on Trafford for last season and in all of his games he caught the ball x3 in total, he punched away or parried away every single time and that will be punished in the Premier league

A goalkeeper that only caught the ball 3 times? Turn it in.

The high initial fee likely means there is no buy back amount included.

arise_sir_charge

Doesn't that rather depend on whether you have invested in saleable assets? I can see us making huge profits on (e.g.) Benson, Zaroury, Al Dakhil and others. (We even made money on Collins this week!) Whether there would be the same profit on someone like Trafford is more doubtful, but I think he's...

Now its hard not to get excited by this sort of signing (do wonder what price Man City have on a buy back though)

I think it will be one or the other.

Low initial fee = low buy back clause.

Big initial fee = either big buy back clause or no buy back clause.

Bairstow tried the same thing to Labuschagne in the same match. Not sure England players can come out and moan about it. Bairstow was a bit wreckless and when the margins are that tight in a high pressure game should have known better. He didn’t though did he. Labuschagne was batting outside of his...

Absolutely serious. Should my scenario be claimed as out, or not? And if yes, what really is the difference?

In that case, maybe you could ask for another do if you miss a straight one.

There is a massive difference between what happened yesterday and that you describe.

arise_sir_charge

If gaining an advantage is the test, is it legitimate to stump a player who thinks he's retreated into his ground and acts accordingly, but has in fact grounded his bat or foot on the line rather then behind it? That's a scenario I've seen many times, given out and without controversy, without the ...

arise_sir_charge

Clearly that ball wasn't going for 4, but I thought you were making a general point about a wk attempting a stumping or run out. IMO if the ball is immediately thrown by the wk with sufficient force that it reaches the boundary then I don't see how it could be considered dead. No, I was replying to...

arise_sir_charge

If he's thrown the ball with sufficient force that it actually went for 4, then I'm pretty sure we would, since you couldn't possibly argue that the ball was dead. Surely? I don’t think so because nobody is watching. It’s a moot point anyway as the ball was never going to go for 4 was it. Also abov...

arise_sir_charge

Stumpings always go to the third umpire unless they're impossibly obvious. And even if the umpire wasn't expecting anything to happen and let his attention wander, it still doesn't mean the ball was dead. If the stumper had tossed it to the slip who had thrown the wicket down, then the ball would h...

“The ball is deemed to be dead when it is finally settled in the hands of the wicket keeper or bowler.” Play back the replay and the ball is never settled in the hands of the wicket keeper Carey, who underarms the ball back towards the stumps in one movement whilst Bairstow is still in his ground. ...

arise_sir_charge

Watch them. In both incidents the ball goes through to the keeper and they both lob it back straight away. They're both trying to do the same thing, in fact Carey's is even less of a proper attempt at getting him out, but Bairstow wanders and does it for him. In the fabled spirit of the game, they ...

arise_sir_charge

Bairstow marks his ground *after* Carey had rolled it back. Which is exactly why the ball was not dead. And no, those dismissals do not just occur in club cricket when someone is batting out of their ground, they occur when a batter goes for an unexplained walk about immediately the ball has gone p...

arise_sir_charge

I don't think that is right re De Grandhomme. He wasnt looking for a single, he wasn't sure where the ball had gone and was distracted by the appeal and so didn't know he was out of his ground. It's the fact he didn't know he was out of his ground and that the ball was live that is the point of com...

I thought the Sky commentary team completely misread the room in respect of the Bairstow incident. They seemed to be at pains to try and make it a none event when it was claret that the England team and the crowd were appalled by it, I had TMS on when it happened and they were pretty unanimous in th...

We had gambling sponsors prior to the new owners but lo and behold CP uses it as another stick to beat the new owners with. Anyone would think he had some kind of axe to grind. The fact he’s reported the new owners to an MP is a little odd also.

Duckworth-Lewis is the fairest method I have seen as it factors in the overall state of play at the point rain intervenes. Much fairer than anything that’s gone before it.

D-L is strange though Lowerhouse target of 118 in 27 overs was only 7 runs short of the 42 over score for Burnley. Burnley also got 5 bowling points for ?????

Yes they do. If you read the thread we’re discussing the merits of DL and my post was asking about the Ribb League.

They still are really. If everyone knows it will be a rain affected game then it really helps to bat second and so the toss becomes important. We won it today and put Burnley in. Last week for some reason we batted despite the forecast. Clitheroe captain Peter Dibb was fielding near us and was aske...
