Gloucester Saint

Not FC standard, as are quite a few. They’d enjoy local cricket more, be PT with a FT job and be one of the best players in their local league. I can’t see many of them being any better in D2 where the likes of Anderson might still be plying their trade next year. Retained list should be Abbott, Baker, Currie, Lehmann, Mayes, Jack for red ball and add Vince, Weatherall and Albert for white ball only. No argument for keeping anyone else, unless I’ve missed someone, so either release or settle up 50% so they can try and find another county.

From the likes of the Guardian who have their agenda. Whereas the Telegraph have theirs on the weekend’s disorder. I call it as I see it/experience it and I wouldn’t want to be near any of it. There isn’t a side for me, destroying property is exactly that whether it’s BLM throwing statues into water, an anarchist defacing Churchill’s statue, someone pissing on the Cenotaph or a balaclava wanker kicking a Southsea resident’s wing mirror off. Or Pompey fans smashing up Goldsmith Ave after they beat us in 2004. Whatever the ideology, or claimed ideology, thuggery is thuggery.

Just get in behind the ball and when Lehmann is on, give him most of the strike and defend the odd ball where you need to face. Help the one player you have who can actually bat. No white ball rubbish. Yes, that goes for Brown, Organ and pretty much all bar the openers who need to blunt the new ball if they can and try to use 1s and 2s to keep the scoreboard ticking. I’d put the cover drive away unless it’s a really filthy delivery to be punished. Without Dawson, the tail starts from Ben Brown downwards. Just support your top order.

Halliburton had plenty of tentacles within the Bush Jr administration as well.

The Portsmouth version

Not by most people it isn’t re: Notting Hill. There might be a sigh of relief that there aren’t multiple murders there in a given year but I wouldn’t want to attend it any more than being amongst Thommo, Ossie and his balaclava mates in Portsmouth. I didn’t consider hurling Colston’s statue into Bristol’s harbour to be peaceful either.

There haven’t been arrests yet. Plenty were arrested after the Nowak riot, several were returned to their natural habitat, the prison. Sending threats of violence and intimidation to RNLI volunteers is a criminal offence and the cops won’t take kindly to it. Plenty of dawn door knocks to come.

Burnham is gaining more ground on the Greens as Polanski gets found out. Most Reform switchers, 8-9/10 statistically, are ex-Tories if you look at Curtis’s videos, so it’s how many/enough will make the move back given how tribal it’s become between Reform and the Tories. Can’t ever see Jenrick being forgiven - that was Harry/Saints - and Braverman is off her rocker. Plenty of councillors are switching back or going independent. I’m Lib Dem, so any gains we get are from are Badenoch shifting right wards (I know a few One Nation Tories she’s banned from standing who are switching yellow) and where Labour voters see us as the only option tactically to beat Reform where the Tory vote hasn’t recovered yet. Ditto many ex-Tory seats with former One Nation MPs.

Kemi needs to ask George Osborne and Vince Cable what happened about the Bedroom Tax during the Coalition (Osborne still regrets it today). Our politicians never learn from history https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cj9xznl0yvzo

Tbf, they are making an effort this game and got Notts 44-4 with the ball. If it’s doing a bit though, anything north of 150 will mainly rest on Lehmann’s shoulders, with 10 tailenders at D1 level in red ball.

And Ossie’s mates are anything but peaceful - and I don’t want the migrant small boats any more than he or you do. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026/jul/24/most-people-arrested-during-henry-nowak-protests-had-been-reported-for-domestic-abuse https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c70y84066gko https://www.dailyecho.co.uk/news/26523531.henry-nowak-protestor-jailed-smuggling-500k-cannabis/

Portsmouth itself has prior form, including a dyslexic skate torching a paediatrician’s car http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/865633.stm

In @whelk’s absence, I’ll do the honours. Fucking thick cunts.

Reform are essentially just a slightly more articulate version of Danny Thommo, Tommy Robinson. Farage tries to make them distinct to keep a distance from his own turds. Wonder if Osv was there?

Ditto Murderers/Gardeners’ Compleat Angler is close, although is a Greene King. I still used it but some won’t like GK.
