Cracking game at Sedbergh, Lancs after a great recovery get home with an over to spare. Excellent cricket commentary! ..... radio people. Now on to the men's TH after giving the ladies a miss. Nice way to spend a Friday.

Are you being serious? Think history and tradition.

I will give The Hundred a chance and will watch most games. The format is a money grab by the ECB that may succeed ... or may not, certainly the broadcasters are trying their best to convince me that grounds are full to the brim. IF the format is to secure a new audience well, going off last night's men's game, it will introduce them to very poor batting and bowlers trying to bowl as wide as possible, sometimes in a hilarious fashion. The kids meanwhile will get to see grown-ups getting drunk in daylight. It's baseball where you run up and down and not around. Pop music, bands and fireworks do not a cricket match make. I was expecting circus animals and clowns but may have missed them. Meanwhile, via YouTube I'm enjoying Lancs v Sussex at the lovely Sedbergh ground on a fantastic English summers day. That is more to my taste.

I was never in favour of his recruitment from the scrapheap but that was a watershed moment. It was quite amazing how much support his inane comments received on here. Simply a conman and not too bright upstairs..... but he doesn't have to be ....

Waggott and discounts ...... give me a second to think about that ...... Meanwhile OANDA.com is getting a lot of hits from somewhere in BB2 checking out CLP to GBP .....

In last nights game I was not unhappy to see the back of Malan, 31 from 33, who struggles with good spin. I did though think Liam would hit a second 6. Good to see a useful knock by Morgan including a great 6. Now on to 'The Hundred' to see what all the fuss is about

What App are you all using that can translate ''and no more what then someone like'' into meaningful English?

I do not know but I very much doubt that we ever had a chance of getting him back. His loan to Anderlecht was done on 1st July, quite early in the window and there would have been some negotiations between City/Anderlecht/player prior to that date.

A young talent CB to be coached by Vincent Kompany or Mowbray ..... tough call ......

Definitely not. The opposite, a fan of both.

A pundit passes a glib comment on air and it becomes law? Talking law the Jury system has been around a while, providing a balanced view of evidence provided. Long reign the Ewood Jury and who's next up in the Dock.

He got injured while on loan at Boro, still only 26 so the above contract terms do seem a goer for BoroBoy TM to ease any lasting Boro guilt...... And he lets players judge their own fitness so no trouble with medicals.

Those were my thoughts too. They need 2 fantastic years at least out of him to justify the contract term. No wonder they want the Super League.

Spot on. I re-read that old LT article today. I recall reading it first time around and thinking ''well we know what happens here'' ...... and so it came to pass. I actually wish Park well and hope he succeeds as it helps us .. or should .... Meanwhile the Ewood CONwheel keeps turning...

Dougals at Lech Poznan

I'm very very close to just giving up on Rovers, maybe check in occasionally to see if Vs have gone when all the other crap will to. Problem I've got is I really do not expect that to happen in whatever years I've got left. Bit pissed off after 60++ years a Rover.

I took the info from Transfrmkt - he's been in Poland for 6 months this year with Legia Warsaw

At least now we are in the market for Celtic hasbeens, neverweres,aged and infirm and not so reliant on the Boro OAPs

What reports? That's a joke - right?

Out of work for 4 years after a career spent solely in Scotland. Ex Hibs and Celtic .... during Mowbrays quite amazing disaster there. What exactly are his qualifications for being a Director of Football?* apart from obviously now being in the Coventrio run Ewood Mafia. The Club is shit rotten from top to bottom. * don't bother me with Scotland kids

A 34 year old Lionel Messi has agreed to stay at Barcelona on a new 5 year deal at just 50%* of his previous wage. * which was £123 million a season https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/57836300 I know why I dislike football more with each passing day.

NO you do not! I fell for it too but its not our fault. The malignant Boro fruitcake on the other hand needs the men in white coats, straight jacket and padded cell. He is a fucking nutter.

No sound on my YouTube Yorkshire v Lancs via Yorkshire Cricket. Poor do. There is commentary as the subtitles are working.

I spotted that awful schedule. Mind you they can play with themselves down Brockhall Holiday Camp for the next 2 weeks.

Comparing the UK to 'other places' imho most of the rest of the world would be an interesting discussion to have but probably best not on a football thread. As a Brit who has spent years working and living abroad there is nowhere like it, in my experience. I'll leave it at that.
