Glad we had @nudge the sensible one (before the whiskey gets knocked back) to drive them to the hospital. Although who knew you could discharge yourself so quickly...

Don't know about you but I did not think that was @DeadLinesman's thing...

I must have been fucking off my head as I do not remember this happening. Can't have been as bad as 2017 when @SirBalon (RIP) fell through the ceiling with @DeadLinesman on his back. Fuck knows what they were getting up to...

That doesn't qualify as a serious question . But no .

well this is definitely off-topic, for sure.

more for associating with Luton.

A million years.

@Tommy

There she goes again stealing photos of a professional food website...

Understatement.

Yeah very happy for Krunal and Hardik after they lost their father in January. You could see the emotion in Krunal throughout his batting and also in the interview how much it meant to him to play well today.

He was a sub. Iyer got injured so he may play in the next 2.

Yes.

Yes. You're next.

Roy and Bairstow are phenomenal when they're in full-flow. The thing I love about this 'era' of Indian cricket is the attitude to never give up. A lot of other sides would be totally blown away by England's batting, possibly even before they've even started batting as is their sheer quality and that they can bat deep. I don't think the India side has ever been stronger in terms of depth - there are so many players who could still play in this side. Today's squad is without Bumrah, Jadeja, Pant, Agarwal, Saini, Shami, Chahal, Gill.

Click here mate

Yep, safe to say we definitely profited from that!

a spoof of Paranormal Activity, if you will!

are you as high as @Danny was when he made that Alonso/Gerrard topic mate?

Frank Worthington has died aged 72 after suffering Alzheimers. A Leicester legend and a player my dad loves to reminisce about watching back in the 70s. RIP

Steve Bruce has gone to scout them immediately.

And there was me thinking Peru needed to be taken seriously as a country after all your hard work representing, @Mpache!

I don't recall seeing Blue&Wine, ChelseaTotty or TheRealFatFrank on this forum?

That was Lee Mason but the criticism still applies. The standard, given the league's standing in the world, should be so much better. There's probably only a handful at best of top class referees who you could envisage could be at international tournaments/elite level. For me, they are Anthony Taylor, Michael Oliver and Andre Marriner. Controversy doesn't seem to follow them as much as anyone else. While that's still not a barometer of how good they could be/are, it does still speak for their ability. The rest are all average at best. Craig Pawson, Lee Mason, Jon Moss, Mike Jones, Kevin Friend, Paul Tierney, Stuart Attwell, Chris Kavanagh, Mike Dean, Graham Scott all fall in that category. They outweigh the good refs far too much, which is bad.
