Gloucester Saint

Saints won and have a home second leg, Torquay beat Dorking 4-2 and talk of the final v Hornchurch being at Brisbane Road as Hornchurch’s stadium will be grossly inadequate. Torquay would probably fill that stadium. Will be swapping places with Exeter City within a couple of seasons, Exeter in huge trouble and heading into non league again over the next year or two. Gulls getting 6k plus gates in the sixth tier.

A Utilita shirtfront. Important thing is beat the follow on when we bat and take our time. No T20 crap. On this surface, we should be expecting a couple of hundreds and at least two 50s from the top six, in additions to contributions further down. That needs to be set as a minimum standard in the dressing room as their attack isn’t especially potent. I’d seriously question if any of the top 6 have a future at the club if that can’t be done. Lehmann has had to go home so he can’t prop them up this time. Ben Brown is a shit captain though. Needs another ton to stay in the team and I hope Russell Domingo tells him that.

Add in another ingredient with the newspapers each with non-doms with different and very partisan axes to grind plus the sheer toxicity on social media and we are getting the culture we deserve. I haven’t been pro-Royal until very recently but that speech by Charles in Congress was ace. Reminded me of what being British is really about. Not the populist hate-mongering scum on the far left and far right. I know people want to give Labour and the Tories a kicking this month but giving these wankers more encouragement is poor judgement.

It’s exactly where the Corbynites have gone. There’s the populist left being anti-Semitic - not liberals @whelk - and there’s been plenty of it in local election materials from both Greens and Reform. And then plain old anti-black from Reform at al https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cn8p70xpyzeo

Quelle surprise, he’s an arsehole.

I certainly wouldn’t criticise the officers, and after prosecuting the terrorist I’d deport him the same day of eventual release. I was just reflecting on how I’d present it if I was their union rep in the Met.

Glamorgan will be delighted with that news. Hope all well for Jake. Can’t see where the runs are coming from otherwise.

He is one.

If he’s tried to stab the officers as well, then I’d go with the defence of making sure he wasn’t in a position to have another go.

I was going to reply to St Louis directly but this post saved me a job.

Comes down to reasonable force. Probably fails on that aspect but it’s the human emotions of reacting to an extremist scumbag who just stabbed people with no connection to the conflicts or causes of the Israel conflicts and Netanyahu/Ben Givr’s dreadful behaviour.

Islamic and Zionist extremism are two halves of a vile coin which does the planet great harm and not least the Middle East. They can be condemned separately and together without sides being taken.

Did they try you make you go to rehab? Or watch a game sitting next to MLG?

Probably not as bad as Covent Garden 1991 v the skates. It was very unfriendly for the blue few.

Just like 1984 when through with only Shilts to beat.
