    Sheaf

    If you'd actually checked I've stated I'm uncertain about Sheaf at this moment in time (but may well be a decent addition over time as he learns how to play league rather than U23) and felt James was a decent experienced addition to cover for Kelly while he was injured. Point was you were...

    Sheaf

    What the manager THINKS. Doesn't mean that's how it'll work out. James could have an absolutely mare for all we know right now.

    Unfortunately only those scored with the ball count.

    Sheaf

    Trouble with saying that is you're therefore saying MR doesn't make mistakes. But he clearly does at times. All you can say at this stage is MR has chosen a line-up that agrees with what you would do. That doesn't necessarily mean it's the right one. We won't know that for another three hours...

    Didn't think both Hamer and O'hare would drop to the bench at the same time. Even more surprised that Shipley is the player brought in for O'Hare. I guess he must impress in training. Hopefully he can have a good game and use that link up play and shooting he can be capable of. I imagine both...

    Barnsley on a madness

    In that case it's even riskier as not only are you relying on getting player recruitment right but also coach recruitment.

    Barnsley on a madness

    But all it takes it a season or two of doing that and getting it wrong and you can suffer. It'd be a double whammy because if they don't work out not only can you not sell them for big profits but poor performance on the pitch could result in relegation and loss of income there as well. It's...

    Barnsley on a madness

    Nowhere am I saying they're lying. I'm saying you can report them differently and come up with very different outcomes. All would be transparent and above board but the reported values would be massively different. Had a quick look through last set of accounts on Companies House (2019). Main...

    Jodi Jones - Finished?

    Is that or is that not how a raffle is supposed to work? The person raffling it off gets a decent profit but all those people that enter stand a chance of getting something markedly below its true value. Most won't get anything but you enter knowing that's the likely case. Just like buying a...

    Barnsley on a madness

    Not read them. Fact is you can produce a massive variance in accounts just by adopting different accounting policies or classifying things differently in terms of expenditure. You can turn a healthy profit into a loss just by not capitalising certain expenditures on the balance sheet and...

    All purpose cricket thread

    I also don't understand this. of course a team can bowl slowly, but just as often a batter will get replacement gloves, wander around, remark his crease etc while the bowler is stood waiting to bowl. Yet it's a bowling team that will get penalised The rule is that if the bowler is ready the...

    Barnsley on a madness

    Accounts can be deliberately misleading and affected by all sorts of accounting policies and conventions to give the impression the owners want, all well within the law. Profit has no relation to anything 'real' and is literally just a number on a piece of paper. Assets are often...

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    It's what I'm hoping for too, but Starmer seems to be so anti-confrontation at all levels I'm starting to lose faith in that. Weirdly for a prosecution lawyer he's no attack dog. Plus as has been said somehow it'll be spun into being labour's problem, probably along the lines of "this was a few...

    Derby v Forest

    A massive brawl resulting in multiple injuries, suspensions and points deduction for both.

    Barnsley on a madness

    I wouldn't mind seeing Jame playing alongside Kelly to see how that goes and as a comparison of Sheaf next to Kelly. Hamer has been a bit off form recently so maybe have a game with him being brought on as the sub for Kelly an hour in as seems to be the norm at the moment would be fine. Only...

    EMBARRASSED

    Maybe it was me but watched the replay a few times and it looked like he got a shove in the back, tried to carry on but the shove upset his balance and he ended up tripping himself trying to do so.

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    I think it's the Miliband situation - advisors making him look indecisive. you don't spend that long as a QC without knowing how to fight your corner. Miliband as leader looked like a rabbit in the headlights. Since going back to being an ordinary MP on the whole he's been pretty impressive...

    Jodi Jones - Finished?

    It's a raffle - he's not selling it for over retail price. The winner gets a PS5 for £20*. Everyone else has taken a punt at getting one for £20 and been unsuccessful. Like buying a lottery ticket. No idea the reason why he's doing it, either for personal gain or altruistically, but whatever it...

    I'd take the draw right now. Given their form is a winnable game and I hope we go into in that frame of mind. Think we can score against them but got to be mindful of a ball to Armstrong if we press high - our defence isn't the quickest.

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    And what proportion of the time are the Tories in power in this country? You can safely assume that Tories will spend a lot of time in power. You can also safely assume they'll not do a great deal to improve the north, or even stop it stagnating. What has increased the amount the region has...
