So the wicket wasn't that big a deal, the players dealt with it fine, it was the 16,300 capacity?

aye, england go 1:0 up in an ashes series against expectations, scored over 700 and got australia all out twice in under 4 days play it's nice to have something to whinge about though

always have an anonymous account for shit flinging

oh I know the ones, where you think you're going to catch it but your hand was just in totally the wrong place yeah and the next 5 minutes you're dabbing everything dry in your auntie's knicker drawer we've all been there

I haven't been in the ground today, I've basically been looking after people's coats, organising the parking and keeping hold of tickets for the stragglers. If you know Cardiff at all, just outside the ground is a river taxi platform, so we've been ferrying people down the bay to the food festival for a change of scene. I don't think I'm going to get any use out of my tickets for tomorrow - and they included full restaurant foodage and free bar! Surely one or two bloody ozzies can stick it out and stretch the game in to tomorrow. Clearly cricket isn't their first game, but how hard can it be not to stick your leg in the way?

Sunday morning should be a wipe out but ok from late morning / lunchtime. I don't think it'll get to Sunday - that's what I was telling everyone today anyway - and it bagged me a couple tickets. So now I'm hoping it does get to Sunday, even if it's just an hour, because I've got a decent ticket for my nipper so I'd be superdad for a day.

nothing but hepatitis anyway

two and a half dys in I'm a lightweight and have come home for a nap back sunday if its still going - don't think it will be knackered and hot and nobody in the bmw corporatge liked my hat night night

If he does leave I think he's a useless selfish bastard and we can pick up players better than him down the labour exchange. Didn't expect any loyalty, didn't get any. If he stays, it will be the best news of the summer and prove critical to our pushing on and shows just what an excellent vibe is being built at this club that world class talent wants to stay and play for the badge. I shall pop back to the thread in a few weeks and quote one of those two lines.

looks like another quiet night in for Ruge

Who and where did you read this? Complete BS. I bet it came from the Sun. so its not true because the sun published it? probably not 100% but an awful lot of it is either lies or bizarrely poor journalism I say that from first hand experience of 3 stories, each of which was absolutely wrong in absolutely every detail they printed - and they'd been given the truth first hand, in my presence.

apparently the missus was released and they are taking some time to work through some issues in a grown up mature way

back to basics I may have rigged this one by eating the other banananana and removing my plums from the shot.

absolutely agreed equally, if he was punched in the face, I'd have real problems describing the attacker to the police and as for the swastika giving you problems with the police....nah even when clearly not a hindu or jainist symbol it was somehow easily distinguishable even by a London copper as just dickheads trying to cause offence a state we are yet to reach with IS

What I find fascinating with all these cults, be it IS or nazism or the Khmer Rouge and a host of others, is that they have such power over the mind. You have a line of what, 20 to 25 men there on their knees. So I guess they are about to be executed on a stage. But there are no guards in close attendance. There is also a crowd of what appear to be 'civilians' and if we are to believe what we are told these will have been forced to attend and forced to watch. I would like think that if I was to be in either situation then I would resist. But the reality appears to be, people, the majority of people, simply don't. The threat of having your throat cut appears to make a person utterly compliant right up to the point of the throat cut. It is odd. As for various flags and their meanings, I am aware what an IS flag sort of looks like. But truly, if that other similar (but apparently fundamentally different) flag had been flying above those people about to be slaughtered i wouldn't have had sufficient knowledge of arabic script and nuance to know the difference. I certainly wouldn't run towards either flag if seeking refuge. Perhaps I'm just not paying enough attention.
