Been thinking or at least trying to. Imagine you're a Megellan mid manager in the hospitality tent during the just gone Ashes series. During "prawn cocktails" you get the customers spouting "Can't you shut that ***** (Matthew Wade) up?". Later on when it's become champagne cocktails it's turned to "...

OK CT, give us a list of those done for ball tampering in say the past 20 years, and tell us what their punishment was.
There will be a long list containing some rather eminent names, including English gentlemen, with punishments in the order of half their match fee.

Come on boys. Lighten up. Ball tampering is about as severe as running on the pitch. Umpires reported it, ICC dealt with it. Surely that's got to be the end of it. Give the sinners a fair go!

You lot can stick your potatoes. Here in Australia all the potatoes I can get are a big failure on taste and are usually on the nose in terms of lifecycle. Now and again I visit that backward country The Philippines. My favourite meal there is steamed spuds, just add salt, that long lost beautiful f...

I can't appreciate that a single one of them was onside.
I thought the rule stipulates 2 opposition players must be behind attacker.
There's only 1 defender in all those movies.

Søren Kierkegaard, Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Jean-Paul Sartre, Friedrich Nietzsche to name but a couple.

None of them could play football, so why concern yourself.

You youngsters have it all wrong. Time to get back to what it used to be.
Get women out of the workforce and back in the kitchen where they belong.
Immediate benefits - no women dole bludgers, no childcare requirement, giving rise to plenty of jobs for blokes so no need for dole at all.

I've always thought that the "Big Bad Bob" campaign was down to Bob speaking out against United being permitted to having their late February/March fixtures postponed. Bob's comments were along the lines of "life goes on". Whether or not this was in his capacity as a BFC spokesman or purely personal...

Personally, if I'd have been in charge of the job, I'd have built the new bridge before taking out the old. But then again, I'm an idiot. What would I know?

After watching the the recent Liverpool away game on SBS (Aus tv), she commented "Burnley are really good". She was referring to those in the red shirts!

I used to deliver them. 6 o'clock sharp start. Always somebody trying to cadge one when doing my round.

If Cook carries his bat:
he'll be the first to do it at the MCG;
he'll be the highest individual innings score to do it anywhere;
it will be the highest team innings score to do it anywhere.

Two things to do: 1. Go back to the former rule for offside. Any rule that permits "an interpretation at the given time" is a disaster waiting to happen to the minnows and a bonus to the big boys. Alternatively, get rid of it altogether. 2. Drop the substitutes nonsense. Football is 11 v 11. If you'...

On the other hand, he did get some of them right such as Fletcher, Cole, Alexander,... Just a little note to say that Alexander arrived before Coyle.
