Paddock Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 To you. Like anything, different sports appeal to different people. Course they do. I was just aying that's how I see them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnh Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 Really sad news. When I played, about half a dozen times a season, I used to get mega heart palpitations in the middle of a game. Never went to the doc's in case they stopped me playing. Played till I was 40. I am now on medication for irregular heart beat but at 79 I reckon I have been very lucky. Recently had a thorough medical check on my heart and the consultant said it was good for another 30 years! Good news for me but you poor sods will have to put up with my posts for a while yet. (I hope). markjazzbassist and Matt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hafnia Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 I'd end up wanting to take the heaviest bat and go on a rampage in that cricket set up. Sounds like a load of arrogant political bullying twats who need a good smack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddock Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 Where have you heard that? I read it was ecstasy. There was an article on Saturday evening on talk sport about it. They were insistent it was for ametabolic performance enhancing substance not an illicit one. Maybe they were wrong but that's what they said.
