Walker was superb first half - he took Williams out of the game to such an extent that he switched to the right. I don't know what Southgate said to him at half-time, but must've been something like "defend narrower, Kyle". Williams was just given free rein the whole of the second half. I...

I have a friend whose son is in the US military - says it was definitely an inside job. There is no way the Secret Service would have let an unsub get into that position, especially when people in the crowd were telling local law enforcement that they could see him crawling onto the roof 5...

Problem is that girls might be doing so not of their own free will but to conform to what they are being told are societal norms. You hear of under-age kids having anal sex - this can only be because of the prevalence of what used to be called hardcore pornography (not Page 3) normalising it.

He's been tried and sentenced to life, with a minimum tariff of 16 years.

Over before lunch on day 3 - pretty poor. More evidence that the short game is impacting on the ability to play Tests.

Everybody needs good ones

True - but i can't get used to "batter" (other than for making Yorkshire puddings, or what we are going to do to Sunderland this season)

It's alright, i've read the Met Office and UKHSA health warnings for when it goes over 22C! 33C in Verona, they are saying, small chance of thunderstorms. Cushty!

I miss the references to "Third Man" in cricket - now just plain "Third" even in the men's game!

I was focussing on the general issues of behaviour towards girls raised by others in this thread, not the killing aspect. Apologies for not making that clear.

I am so glad i don't have any children having to face these issues in this day and age. It all seemed so much simpler in the 70s when i was growing up. Is it that boys watch too much porn or shit peddled by Tate and his like, so they assume girls are there for the taking? Or is it pressure to...

Women's tennis can very much hold its own, but the demands for equal pay and prize money, when they only have to play a maximum of three sets, gets on my nerves. That said, I think tennis could be the sole example where the audiences and advertising revenue could be close to parity with the...

I may be easily confused due to my advancing years, but it annoys me on the BBC sport website when they have a headline about a T20 match against the Kiwis, and it has the subtitle "Cricket". "Hold on a mo", says i, "I thought we were playing the Windies". Turns out it's "Women's Cricket".

https://clares-law.com/ NB It is illegal to be in possession of a crossbow in a public place ... as it is to murder someone ... but as mentioned earlier, it isn't illegal to buy or own one.

Fisting and Tiger Tim in the same breath makes me feel quite unwell!

The BBC Sport live cricket website is a piece of crap! You used to be able to see the text commentary in the centre pane, with the summary scorecard down the right. This has now gone, and instead you have to toggle to another tab, and the layout of that is rubbish (e.g. doesn't say "Still to...

Actually, this probably belongs in the "Things that annoy you" thread, but the fact that the "fist pump" (maybe related to what Daz is on about) is the sole (and incessant) means of expressing any form of emotion by any tennis player these days. Bloody automatons, the lot of 'em!

First pump??

Found alive, but with some injuries. A bit soon to have "fallen down the stairs" at the nick! Bastard!

Hope it lasts - we're heading in your general direction next week!
