It's really bumpy too. We can all agree it's certainly not a smooth sphere. The various imperfections, wobble from our axis and gravitational pull of other planets causing inconsistencies in how we orbit the sun causes a whole manner of cool stuff - it even influences how we've evolved. I'm fascinat...

I assume he was the best player in that league if he played for England? I think it was likely he'll have played for England seniors by that stage. Would have certainly still been among the best in the league but us kids were fearless and already close to his level due to playing snooker every day.

I’m no good at pool myself. I once got roped into playing for one of the pubs in Padiham when they were short and was defeated by a guy who apparently played for England (Bob Everiss I think his name was). I think I broke then came back to the table once for a couple of shots before he cleared up. ...

I'm not qualified to answer the last question but there's more worthy causes this platform can support.

As for being one of the sandygate lot, no. Is there a pool contingency there? Been out the scene in Burnley for some time but have played for teams allover the town at various stages.

The likely detour will take you up the hill just after the reservoir then through Ilkley and another village or two. Probably no great impact on distance but does slow progress around along that stretch as average speed will drop off a cliff (scuse the pun).

Hell of a head scratcher that VK opted to use two players last night who he knew would be leaving today

More appearances on their record grows their confidence, enhances their perceived status and inflates their future value.

No it won’t. Supporting them will improve nothing, least of all our prospects. I agree he was the wrong sub, but it isn’t the first time this season that subs have cost us. Two scenarios. 1.

Do fans not have the right to voice frustration when it looks like a player isn’t interested and backs out of putting a foot in

You/they can do what you like but if that's spew negativity and abuse towards them then you're not supporting them, which is what I said.

VAR doesn't recommend a review though. It effectively changes the decision. The fact that's how VAR is being implemented is why it didn't intervene tonight.

I suspect this hate stems from the one obvious challenge he should have made but pulled out of whilst on a yellow card and being cautious.

Booked Trent then watched Trent immediately kick the ball away and failed to book him for the second offence. I also thought helping Trent to waste time by telling him not to waste time (instead of booking him) then not adding much time on for the time wasting he acknowleged was more than a bit odd....
