Surely you just turn up in your whites, bring your own grub and pad up from the boot of your car? As for the ball only 10 people will touch it. The umpire doesn’t need to touch it or could easily officiate whilst wearing gloves. The wicketkeeper wears two pairs of gloves and the other team uses a d...

Not entirely John as the hand sanitizer could be transferred onto the ball thus altering the condition of it , plus players would have to remember to sanitize every time they've touched the ball and to avoid touching their faces (the same issues the England and West Indies teams will face but seems ...

Think the problem with cricket is not so much the social distancing aspect but the handling of the ball as potentially every player could be touching it. I know with tennis the guidelines were that only one player should bring a set of balls to play with, balls picked up by foot and racquet and serv...

Dithering a bit tbh.

On the other hand, the virus risk hasn't completely gone away and I'm sure it...

Enjoyable feel good film all the better for it being based on a true story.

Hope Lou Macari was/is a nice a guy as portrayed in the film.

I wondered what the rocking arms gesture from Ben was about after he'd scored.

All best wishes go to little Olive Grace, her parents and family.

We're lucky to have Ben at our club, and not just because he's a brilliant defender.

While they take a drinks break and on a slightly related topic..... I think Troy is a cracking name

You must be expected to achieve with a name like that.

Well it worked for the guy in 'Stingray' and he pulled that tidy Aqua Marina bird as well

Well this fan took to him.

Tidy player and chipped in with some cracking goals (the one at home v Bournemouth being my favourite).

Sorry to see him go but wish him well.

Watched the episode 'Private Lives' from series 1 last night.

There was a scene when Oz was digressing about being in a hotel in Sheffield and he talked about the Newcastle v Burnley semi final and 2 goals from 'Supermac'

My least favourite scene of the whole series..

Coincidentally just started re watching the 1st series dvd box set I bought years ago this week. Ok, it seems slightly dated now but still a good watch because it's well written and you care about the characters.

Before the game, I'm going to erect a a gazebo in my back garden, then queue for 10 minutes for a pint of beer in a flimsy plastic glass while constantly dodging backwards and forwards by about a foot to avoid all the imaginary fans trying to squeeze past.

As you say it is very hard to know CC, might well have been normal flu my wife had and she contracted Covid at some point but was asymptomatic.

Agree with the OP.

It does seem like likely from recent reports that the virus may well have been lurking in the UK earlier than we thought. As an aside, my wife works for the NHS and had an antibody test last week which came back positive for CV-19 antibodies yesterday. Thinking back, in early January she did have a ...

According to Huffington Post, Trumps campaign team have asked members of the public to submit short videos wishing the President a happy birthday next week (14th June, if anyone wants to send him a card)

Add a slice of orange to your gin and tonic instead of lemon or lime, never thought that would go until I tried a large Sipsmith at a Spoons.

Thought they'd chucked orange in by mistake but actually it works, never have anything else in a gin now

No worries mate. How did it go?

From the 70's, a film called 'Phantasm', and also one called 'Night of the Demon'.

The TV version of 'Salem's Lot' with David Soul was also quite scary

I am drinking considerably more. Me and Mrs VC are. I think the boredom, sustained good weather and bank holidays have also contributed to a few more bevvies in the back garden than normal.

Was due to go Tunisia in June which will obviously be cancelled (although Tui haven't officially done so yet)

If we can't get to Vilnius, Lithuania this December then probably Tunisia or Rhodes next year if possible.
