Gloucester Saint

Exactly this. Other option is Old Firm offer him 2 years with extra year option. Less intense league than the Champ, European football. We need another forward with Larin who can play 46 games potentially plus the cups. Ross is a good player but his body won’t enable that and probably joined on a decent wage. Might be best for all concerned. We can probably get better as Hull did if were quick off the mark like the club were today.

Evening Major! Watched the Roses T20 in the pub and Yorkshire hammered Lancashire by over 100 runs which in this format is a massacre. Fair to say the Headingley crowd enjoyed themselves!

So the family ask politicians and press not to use Henry’s murder to stir up hatred. And the US VP does exactly that. These white supremacists really will jump on any bandwagon which spreads hate.

Such a pitiful state of affairs.

Rupert doing Farage in so far in Makersfield. So he’s not all bad https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cg7p7nmj52jo

It’s probably the chillier, heatwave then damp again weather which has caused it. 175 ahead with 4 wickets left. Ideally need 250+ to feel confident. Gay showed you can score if you stay in, Duckett’s wicket hurt us just before lunch as he was flying. Just very difficult to bed in on that surface hence wickets falling in clusters. Some echoes of Perth situation in the winter.

Joined up writing is probably a challenge to be fair. There’s always grunting I suppose when words are too much.

We have to pay for Musk’s utter stupidity with the wrongly identified two officers needing expensive safe houses and guarding to stop a far right lynch mob from killing more innocent people https://news.sky.com/story/ex-police-officer-falsely-identified-by-grok-in-henry-nowak-arrest-is-forced-to-flee-13550667

Blur made a song for him.

Not long ago he was being referred to as ‘Brownmore’ because it was perceived he wasn’t challenging the club sufficiently. Talk about walking a tightrope….

Tom Prest is an interesting case. He’s a bit loose outside 5th stump at times, as Vince and Zak Crawley were at test level. But his technique overall is quite compact and he has the shots as he showed when he first broke into the One Day Cup side a few years ago with aplomb. I can only comment on what I see, someone at the club must know why he’s plateaued then gone backwards. Early season in red ball the start 30s and 40s were there, then he’d find a really daft way to get out. Few of the dismissals were genuinely good balls unlike some of the ones Gubbins and Dawson got. Now he’s not even getting those in T20 and it’s a cruel format if he gets stuck in a rut. Sports psychologist may be another option 1-1. Rod said in pre-season that the club felt he was on the ‘Bethell fast track’ a couple of years ago and they were hoping Domingo might understand better how to get him out of a stagnation and signs of what indeed have proved to be a decline. I wouldn’t release him but offer a contract with a few levels/markers within it to help get the momentum back.

On justice, the Manchester airport jury case I’ll give you, that made me angry. Two tier overall? Nah. People got banged up for encouraging the 2011 rioters and not a peep about that. I’ve no time for Palestinian Action but they’re banned and proscribed so they could make the same argument the far right did yesterday and this morning. If someone incites a violent angry mob to burn a hotel down, they deserve every single day of a custodial sentence and should have had longer. Inspector Frost nailed it last night - the police have become too politicised and it’s probably gone slightly too much the other way in the courts as well since the Stephen Lawrence murder and corrupt investigation (Daniel Morgan and white victims suffered from it as well). But we are talking debate and adjustments to policy, not mindlessly smashing up towns like Pompey fans did in 2004 after their home win v Saints.

They could actually show the parents some fucking respect though. But that was too much to ask for the mobs last night and at Southport (a lot of the same faces involved yet again). But when the organisers are of this calibre, what else is to be expected? https://metro.co.uk/2026/05/28/raise-colours-founder-billy-allison-charged-murder-bar-owner-28555599/

When they started chucking statues into the harbour at Bristol, yes, I did.
