He’s gone for the Rest.

Clifton Fish Bar in Adamsdown, Cardiff. Someone was stabbed in there the other week. I still prefer it to The Mighty Cod a few hundred yards further down. Partly because they messed up on the name - surely Cod Almighty, right? - but mostly because they have the same tiles on the floor that I’ve...

I did wonder if he just bottled it. Yeah, one and a disqualification seems especially harsh. I need to make a concerted effort to watch this years Olympics. My interest in other sports seems to have drifted somewhat over the years.

Yeah, I hadn’t realised how close he came in ‘88 either. Seems like he’d have walked it if he hadn’t had the injury. I remembered Hingsen getting disqualified but forgot it was 3 false starts! You wouldn’t think that’s possible.

Was that a debacle? I agree with you more or less. I have a nagging doubt about LB but it seems that’s a non-starter. My doubt is essentially that Bidwell is getting on a bit and Dasilva hasn’t grown enough in the last year. As an aside, I noted that the West Indian wicket keeper is also...

We are apparently. Yes.

The right is sorted. It’s those pesky lefties that continue to be bothersome…art imitating life imitating art. Or something.

Shout out to BBC Wales… This week I watched an excellent doc about the role of women in the valleys during the miners strike. Powerful stuff. Also Included a bit about how the LGSM came to the valleys and the impact this had. The story that was dramatised in the film ‘Pride’.

I really enjoyed it. Took me back to those ‘84 Olympics and that rivalry with Jurgen Hinkson. Maybe that’s the sort of character you have to have be a champion but…

Another attribute Palmer has (I’m a fan) is that he isn’t afraid to get ‘involved’. Lati and Jeccles also aren’t too shy to kick people when it’s needed/not needed either. And then There are more obvious ‘brutes’ like kitching, Thomas, simms, Bidwell. I think I’m trying to say we’re a bit tasty...

Excellent!

Nice location. Looked warm. Pitch looked a bit shite. Great to see Tats!

I’m not sure if the league is weaker than last year or not. However, it does feel like we will be stronger. I’m really excited. I’m a First time season ticket with my lad and my mate and his boys. Not sure what I’m most excited about tbh!

I’d like us to unveil 2 or 3 signings at the same time. I’m sure this has happened before, right?

I like the sound of this festival! Can we call it ‘The Running of the Bullshit’?

Hmmm… Well, I hope if we do Dasilva has improved on last year/grown a bit. I’ve actually always thought JDS is a decent footballer. He was shocking at times though.

I’m a big fan of Bidwell but he’s the wrong side of 30 and will need replacing at some point. A few times last year looked caught out for pace by the opposition.

Well, unless we have a load of injuries (which could happen), would he already be 3rd striker behind simms? ie if Simms gets injured, Wright would go up top and EMC out wide? I’d like the youngsters to get a chance but obviously they’ve gotta be good enough.

You might well be right. Although I expect us to change things up at times.
