  1. 'You cannot be a true competitor either - a competitor wants to win every time and then grind his opponent into the dirt.'Just messing Jim, sportsmanship is a virtue but that was too obvious to resist a cheap one
  2. One thing about having cricket on in the background is the commentary is so much more enjoyable than football punditry Because of the slower nature of the play Bumble tends to ramble on which is great and I like listening to Michael Holding
  3. I should care more about cricket by all accounts, my dad was involved with Rishton CC for some time and used to spend Sundays there often, my sister got to go in Viv Richards Helicopter when he famously landed on the field Anyway back to the topic at hand I take it tickets would be refundable if you had booked for the Saturday and it didnt get that far?
  4. Thanks for a reasoned response without resorting to personal comments Bryan I totally understand that and can relate because when it comes to football I am the same its just when it extends to other sports I am more a casual observer (shame really as this summer has had plenty of sport and so far plenty of success for Britain - long may that continue)
  5. Don't tell me what I can and can't be just because I don't particularly care for a sport to the extent of being invested in itI'm still allowed to watch and comment on it
  6. I stand by my original viewpoint I don't have any passion for the game for which I don't apologise in the slightest but it goes without saying I want us to win (By the way we know the script is written now and we will win by 1 or 2 runs just to prove a point!)
  7. I don't care enough about cricket to care either way (i'm the kind of fan abbey hates) if he was to get 98 then 2 more wouldn't have broke the camels back I obviously want England to win but enjoy the spectacle of it as much as anything else and have no real emotional investment as I do with football
  8. Inevitable stuff there wish the lad got his century
  9. Went with the family to watch Despicable Me 2 on Friday, loved it, the minions have to be the funniest sidekick characters in a long time. It's hardly surprising they are getting a spin off It looks like most summer blockbusters are bombing this year, after earth, White House down and the Lone Ranger all pulling in low numbers in America. Planes is out next month and may be bad but will draw in millions upon millions for Disney, the stores are already stocking toy planes and all sorts and the cars franchise is a behemoth
  10. Just ordered tomb raider for £15 from amazon thanks to a tip off from Kamy - can't wait I don't suppose anyone else is sad enough to play animal crossing on the 3ds?
  11. At least the logo doesn't look terrible but I will be leaving mine and the boys blank I think
  12. So we have a new shirt sponsor in RFS So we have a new shirt sponsor in RFS Seems odd that its announced the day after shirts went on sale, they sponsored the riverside last season Anyone who has already bought a shirt can get the logo printed on next week View full article
  13. 3-0 game over? Brazil are just infinitely more likeable than Spain, if someone has to dominate world football and its not us I'd rather it be them. There's somehow something always romantic about the Brazil team I still can't believe they didnt win it in 98
  14. Scrappy and petty game but its a good watch I love the atmosphere in the stadiums
  15. The confed cup is great so far This Italy Japan game has been amazing
  16. Finally got around to watching the raid last week, its on Netflix now, fantastic film
  17. Heard reference to the red wedding but watched the last 10 minutes of that episode with my mouth open, from the foreboding music starting to the end credits was just incredible stuff My main problem is the main 'protagonists' left in Arya and Denyris (?) I find really dull, bring back the dance teacher
  18. Kane used to have a political blog, he called himself Citizen X http://www.adventuresofcitizenx.com/ Smart bloke
  19. Had a quick meal at a place called the Hidden Gem on Church Street in Preston last night Very good and they take taste card apart from on a Saturday which is good
  20. All the best Warren, I removed a link to the telegraph article as I wasn't sure if you wanted people to link your real world self to your username if that makes sense Needless to say if there's anything I can do or anyone at BRFCS to help sort next years event just say the word
  21. Had an awesome meal at TGI Fridays yesterday after a day at Chester zoo Some people will assume its terrible without going but the jack Daniels chicken tenders are brilliant Plus they made a fuss over our boy for his second birthday as well
  22. I wrote this on this night so ill just paste it here: Holy @#/? balls PCW was amazing first of all we had just about the best seats in the house front and centre which made the whole thing an experience as we were close to being landed on a few times When we entered there was Dibiase, Steen, Golddust, Gargano and Steen selling merch and photos and it almost made me a little sad, Virgil is mocked online but in reality the million dollar man didnt seem much better he seemed almost desperate really The first match up was Noam Dar Vs Gargano, brilliant back and forth match, Gargano took out my seat with a suicide dive after a few minutes, Dar won with a submission Then Dave Rayne came out and called out Golddust, he told him he has never been as over as his brothers moustache (cue codys moustache chants) nice promo from both of them which ended with Golddust hitting his finisher Next up was Tommy Dreamer Vs T-bone, it started off mainly in ring and pretty basic but soon devolved into dreamer territory, beer shots, chair shots and fighting in the crowd, Tommy hit his usual spots but ended up being put through a table in the corner for the win for T-Bone Then was a 'million dollar dream' match between Dave Mastiff with his manager Gillian something or other and Mad Man Manson with Ted Dibiase. Manson was hilarious throughout and the match had some great comedy spots, the end came when he locked on the million dollar dream and Mastiffs manager interfered, obviously then Ted locked on a MDD of his own. Great fun but again Ted was kind of a sad sight, he was wearing a WWE12 tracksuit and didn't look too comfy getting about The first main event was Steen vs Kris Travis. This is by far the best match I have ever seen live, it was insane and the crowd was lapping it up, at one point Steen caught Travis flying to the outside then hit an absolutely brutal powerbomb onto the apron, Travis hit a perfect reverse hurricanrana at one point which the crowd popped huge for, the end came when steen clotheslined Travis off the apron who sold it like a champ turning inside out then steen rolled him into the ring and hit a package piledriver (my favourite move of all time) After the match Steen got on the mic and put Travis over big and said he's going to make sure his name gets out there and then got emotional as he said its the first time he's travelled abroad since his kid was born and dedicated the match to his mate who helped him out a lot when getting started and who died last week. After the interval was the 30 man rumble, it was good but didnt quite live up the the first half, Dave Rayne looked legitimately Shook after a nasty landing on a German early on, there was a comedy spot that started out awkward when some professor came and put helmets on people and then controlled them, queue Harlem shake music to groans from the crowd but it then cut out and Fandangos theme played, corny as hell but the crowd and all the wrestlers joined in. We got a ref fight in the middle of it and a returning Lionheart won after fending off a late return from Dave Rayne Really really fun night overall with the crowd into it throughout, quite a few instances of Fandangoing as you would expect http://imgur.com/3EsuBcq http://imgur.com/YiHUydx http://imgur.com/7sYkVLf http://imgur.com/GQxFMsI
