    All purpose cricket thread

    This has been a very poor opening session. Talk before the game was easily making 500 plus and the batsmen being able to score for fun. Play like this and we'll be blown away by the Aussies.

    Dave Tarpey turned us down

    Have to factor in his age as well. If you had that sort of option at 21 you'd probably go for it. At 28 you're a lot nearer to the end of your career. Are you going to make enough in the next 5 years to make it worthwhile. Personally I would go for it at any age unless it was totally unviable...

    The Bears

    That's in corporate isn't it? The regular membership is £550 for 3 years.

    League of Gentlemen return

    Last series of Red Dwarf was great, looking forward to the next one in a couple of months.

    Dads Net anyone?

    They could have come up with a better name.

    Dave Tarpey turned us down

    Belief if your own ability must come in to it as well. Lets face it nobody is signing with a L2 club hoping it will be the peak of their career. If you believe you can get to Championship or PL level then you'd happily take a pay cut for a year or two.

    Coventry city centre

    Am I right in thinking you can't park at Cathedral Lanes? Bit of a drawback if they're trying to get people in for restaurants.

    Transfer Rumour #CARLBAKERDAY

    Seems like their manager being a dick. Said he was part of his plans at Portsmouth and didn't want him to leave when other clubs were sniffing around in the summer then bombed him out last week. From what I've been told he was told so late in the day that he'd been taken out of the squad he'd...

    Telegraph

    I dug into this a bit the last time they announced big gains as it seemed a bit suspect. Turns out the methodology they use to arrive at these figures is seriously flawed and has been binned by pretty much everyone. Read that the Australian equivalent press body dumped it when the figures were...

    Steve Taylor Illness

    Sounds nasty, hopefully he recovers. Sounds like it could take a while though, maybe we need to get someone temporary in to assist MR. You're basically asking if its Doyle's fault aren't you :smuggrin:

    Rooney Retires from International Football

    Wasn't having a dig at you, just a general observation. We like to build people up to knock them down in this country.

    Rooney Retires from International Football

    This is such an English attitude. Anyone decent and we rip in to them. Remember a number of top forgiven players speaking in disbelief about the treatment Beckham got and how poorly regarded he was compared to what it would be like if he was from another country.

    Rooney Retires from International Football

    Was listening on 5 Live earlier and they were reporting that Southgate sounded him out about a recall and that was what prompted him to make a decision one way or the other.

    League Cup draw

    The trick is you've got to have every team in the competition taking it seriously and wanting to win. Best bet is probably CL place for FA Cup winners. Then I'd either take CL or maybe even all PL teams out of the league cup.

    League of Gentlemen return

    Apparently he's going to be covering brexit, could be decent.

    League of Gentlemen return

    They're brining it back with everyone involved which is a good sign and the work they've all done since LoG has been good so I'm not too concerned. Interesting that its 3 episodes. If it was a one off for the anniversary you'd expect a 'greatest hits' kind of show but that won't sustain 3 episodes.

    Coventry city centre

    Looks like a rapid expansion over the past two years which makes sense for something that is in fashion at the moment. Will it be sustainable when the hipsters move on to the next fad? At least it seems the chain has been sold to become part of a larger group so if it does lose popularity its...

    The Bears

    They have definitely had first team matches at C&NW, I remember going. That was probably early 90s at a guess. Tried looking it up and couldn't find anything other than the fact a 4 day Warwick v Worcester 2nd XI game started today at Binley Road.

    Coventry city centre

    Agreed. It seems the whole business is based on a gimmick that is currently fashionable with the hipster crowd when it goes out of fashion the business has had it.
