I haven’t seen a cricket match in possibly 4 decades, I was a huge fan back in the day. I was following the last few overs and Super Over via text on Sky website………………..I bet that was fun to watch! I’m hoping highlights can be found online somewhere…………….possibly YouTube?

This thread is gaining legs :) Believe me, I’m not ‘bigging up’ baseball, nor putting down cricket. I was a huge cricket fan back in the day. I have wonderful memories of Lancs League cricket when Lance Gibbs, Charlie Griffiths, Wes Hall, Conrad Hunte, et al ruled the roost. I find the similarities ...

I went to a match whist in America. It was very dull. A bit like test cricket but with even less excitement. I couldn’t believe how rarely they actually hit the ball. Even most of the crowd didn’t show up until half way through. Now we’re cooking :lol: That’s exactly what I wanted to get to about b...

I used to be a hockey fan until the ‘punch ups’ became intolerable. Some NHL rules have changed in order to accentuate more skill than brute force. Maple Leafs still suck though

Raptors are the big game in town.

When you see some of the catches taken at the cricket world cup it somewhat shows up the frailties of baseball if they need to wear a big bucket on their hand! Thank you, I was expecting the baseball/cricket reference. Both games aren’t too dissimilar, for instance the distance from wicket to wicke...

I don’t know if any of you guys saw the Yankees/Red Sox baseball games in London this weekend. I’m sure many may have seen games while on their travels in the U.S. I’m curious as to what you guys think of the game in general. Personally I enjoy the game, I’ll add my comments if this thread shows any...

Kudos to USGA for not messing with this course, as they have for the previous 3 US Opens. Greens are drying out, guys can’t leave approach shots above the hole, getting quicker down the small, sloping greens and the rough is penal. This US Open has a British Open feel about it, no question, ‘surviva...

Ya, Thailand are crap at footy, no need to run up the score like that!! Makes a mockery of the game!

13-0 now! That's disgraceful, Yanks should be ashamed of themselves for running up the score!!!

Wow guys, such a selection of brilliant music from years past.

My abiding memory of Mac was making his way to the by-line at the Cricket Field end receiving the ball from Adamson and dancing his way along the line taking several defenders out of the game before sliding a pin point pass to a Pointer or a Robson for a simple finish.

Brilliant, that’s # 6 for Liverpool.

Sure, It was a poor game to watch ………………………but I bet the Citeh executives are wondering how they can spend even more ‘nodding donkey’ $$ to get their hands on just one CL Championship.

They have all the potential to be a massive club on the high stakes footy stage. Well supported, decent facility, strong history...

Kudos to PGA of America. Bethpage Black is a perfect venue for a major championship, the organizers haven’t tried to trick it up, the course is out there in front of the players. Sure, the rough is penal due to abnormal amounts of spring rain, let nature decide the scores. As in all levels of golf, ...

A total embarrassment to the game. When are the hierarchy going to realize money has ruined the game for the average fan, limit the number foreign players and come up with some sort of spending cap. Oh ya, I’m dreaming, it won’t happen as long as pockets are being lined. Football League forefathers ...

Oh no, no, no. 3 rounds to go, a couple of bad swings and trouble abounds. I can see -2 or -3 winning this one. Steady as you go over 4 rounds wins

Bethpage Black should be a good test for these guys, long and penal if they stray off the fairways. Abnormal amount of spring rain only made the rough more lush and thick. Greens aren’t as fast as they’d normally be and they’re more receptive again due to the rain. Who are you guys rooting for? As u...

Hard to believe that it is 10 years ago on the 25th of May 2009 that we were at Wembley for the play off final.

Bardsley’s inspired performance vs Liverpool was a key element in salvaging this season. For that performance alone, he earned his contract extension. He may be on the downside of his career, and a tackle away from a red card, however he’s proved to be an important part of Dyche’s squad.

exilecanada

Players surrounding the referee attempting to influence a decision should be banned. Only the team captain or his designate (assistant captain) should be allowed to speak to the ref.

Oh, and ‘simulation’, but that goes without saying.

exilecanada

Liverpool all the way for me.

Why? I like the way they play. I like Klopps’ enthusiasm. I like watching Mo Salah play, his ball control in close quarters is amazing to watch. I like James Milner, the epitome of an English footy player, not fancy, solid, shows up for work every game.

True enough. But how many time have 'Pool won the CL since PL inception and CL changed format? Big games for big clubs!

If Liverpool win the CL & Man City win the Premier league I bet both clubs would swap positions in a heartbeat!

I'm not too sure about that! Surely winning CL is the most revered prize in club footy. The oil fields may have dried up by the time City have got close to 6 CL titles.

I’m more interested in the team Dyche puts out than the score-line. Now that safety is assured, I can see Vydra getting a start, with the possibility of Pope in net……in the ‘shop window’, so to speak. The lads are playing for their bonus money, so I assume they’ll give an effort.

The Pope/Heaton/Hart could be a real dilemma for the club. Heaton’s obviously #1, club captain, well respected, is at the top of his game and at his prime as far as a goalies age go.

Proud is the correct word, brilliant performance today, let’s not forget City needed the win today more than we needed a point.
