OK - it's not the players then. So who is the problem - answers on a postcard please.

Why in earth didn't Hampshire enforce the follow-on? The bowlers had a full night's rest to recover. Strange decision could come back to bite them.

England continue to play T20 cricket in a Test match. 'Basball' apparently. Absolute stupidity, it's a 5-day match FFS, there's no hurry. Limited overs stuff has destroyed proper cricket. Geoffrey Boycott must be spinning in his grave. Well he would be if he was dead lol.

I hope he doesn't play in his wellies.

It's all going horribly wrong for our friends down the road 😂

Yay! 4 minutes gone and still goalless!

The black box turned into the brown box.

I want to test myself on every level, and that’s nothing against Welsh women 😭 Seriously, I'd missed that one. Plus the PE teacher settling down with a nice Welsh girl thing, what must his wife think of these quotes? I'd not be surprised if she's fucked off by now.

They both walked when a better offer came along. Hopefully that at least won't be the problem with Marsch.

Weirdly, if we win against Wolves I think the club should sack him because that 3 points would give someone else a fighting chance of keeping us up. Lose, and we're as good as down anyway so it doesn't really matter if he stays or goes.

She must have liked a bit of rough.

Absolute tossers.

Hampshire currently in the process of throwing second place away against Warwickshire at 73-5. I suppose that the positive view from this result is that this will relegate Yorkshire (God's own country - yeah right!) from the top division.

I notice the GBR's sprint teams at the World Athletics are exclusively black. Where's the diversity FFS?

I certainly wouldn't throw it away on anything to do with football.

Every single one of them need their roots done. It's about standards FFS. Break out the peroxide.

Grow up.

Two actually. I was just trying to point out the idiocy of goalkeepers coaching outfield players. They basically have no idea.

I think they should appoint an ex-goalkeeper to the first team coaching role.

Resign

Ipswich draw West Ham in the next round. Be interesting to see how they fare against a mid-table WSL side, should give Saints some idea of where they stand in the scheme of things.

Some views from a Brit at the sharp end

It wasn’t Dave, it was Smudger Smith.

Well, the next couple of hours will reveal whether Ralph is a tactical genius of not. BTW, my money is on not.
