Vranny Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 That was such a huge mistake that I never even spotted it - especially after reading "Stramford Bridge." I stopped reading after Stramford Bridge too! Shouldn't have doubted Gareth's ability to make a further cock of himself really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree but can see how the earlier broadcast slot would appeal. Hopefully five get some decent people to do it. Ads don't really bother me, I just start watching twenty minutes late and zap through them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I can see why they'd go with Five for it, but I have no confidence in them getting decent people to do it like you mention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's more hope than expectation. Didn't Pat Nevin work for them when they had UEFA? Like him, not just because he's ex Everton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romey 1878 Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 Cook is set to lose the ODI captaincy. About time. Hopefully he's out of the WC squad altogether. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 Cook is set to lose the ODI captaincy. About time. Hopefully he's out of the WC squad altogether. They can't possibly take the captaincy off him but keep him in the squad surely? Would be absurd. Having said that they've given the job to Morgan, who's averaged even less than Cook in the last twenty-odd matches (25.45 against 27.52). Potential match winner for sure, but hasn't done it that often recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddock Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 He got the vote of confidence before the last odi against Sri Lanka. Always a sure sign he's getting volleyed out. He's a good test player but never a one day player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potential match winner for sure, but hasn't done it that often recently. The thinking with giving the captaincy to Morgan according to people in the game is that he tends to perform better when he's leading, his average shoots up to 70 or something. But he's someone I'd have dropped as well tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeO Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 Ched Evans affair continues to annoy me. Hartlepool are apparently possibly offering him a chance to play again, but the local MP has other ideas..Hartlepool's Labour MP Iain Wright said Evans was a "pariah" and signing him would send the wrong message to young fans."I really hope we don't," said Wright. "I love my club, I love Hartlepool United. There's a reason why no other team in the Football League wants to sign him - he is a pariah."I was at the match today. There were lots of young lads there supporting Hartlepool United. I just think it sends out such a wrong message to young men in terms of it being OK for a rapist to play football. It's entirely wrong."I can't get beyond the fact that he's served his time and should be allowed to resume his profession; what's the point in giving a sentence if you're going to continue to persecute beyond that? Just as well give everyone life. Bailey and Romey 1878 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad really. They aren't doing any worse than last year and are clear of the bottom three. I wonder if he will come back or go coach in Scotland or something.
