I've been taking a lot of shit off them mate and I've pretty much kept my gob shut (unlike me!) apart from wearing my England shirt in every work zoom meeting since the draw was made. If we get an early goal we could embarrass them, but these 'auld enemy' games very rarely work out like that sadly.

He might surprise a few people. I hope so.

Yeah I was just about to post similar. He will be able to speak enough Spanish to get by one would imagine.

The extra finger gives him a slight advantage but yeah, he's been brilliant. England win the toss and bat - I'd have been tempted to have a bowl and get Jimmy swinging it.

Celtic appoint their new manager - Ange Postecoglou. He has a pretty good record in footballing backwaters so should do okay in Scotland 🙂 https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/live/football/57129534

I would love it..........

Living in Scotland, I'm the opposite Mattyblue, thanks to the 'Anyone But England' attitude of the jocks. I hope we absolutely crush them next Friday, it won't matter to me what else we do in the tournament after that.

I think you maybe didn't see the Rolling Stones post after the Buzzcock's one? Sometimes happens with me if I'm using my phone. Anyhow it doesn't matter: Gene Loves Jezebel - Sweetest Thing

Ha ha, superb!

I bet they wouldn't have declared at that point if Stokes and Buttler had been in the side.

Exactly Matt

Yeah exactly mate so anyone but Glamorgan really. As you said, Lancs are still in a really strong position.

Maybe I’ve misunderstood but I thought the only points the teams carry forward into the play off group are the ones earned against the other qualifying team (who you don’t play again so there wouldn’t be another roses match) not the total from the ten group games? Edit: I’ve checked now and I was almost right. You carry forward half of the points earned against the other qualifying side, so as things stand it would be in Lancashire’s interests to beat the Yorkies again but them still to qualify alongside us. Or indeed have a good record against the other qualifying team. Basically we don’t want Glamorgan to qualify alongside us. So, disappointing though it was, yesterday’s defeat might not really matter.

I suppose Lancs were due to lose one. Unless I’m mistaken the way the system works in terms of the championship title play-off group we don’t yet know who we want to qualify alongside us (assuming we do) but as things stand the Yorkies would be the best outcome for us?

I didn't think he was mate. Sharing a pitch (albeit he didn't get on) with some of those players must have been an amazing experience for the lad.
