  1. I know Ed Joyce Scored a lot of runs for both Ireland and England , but I'm not sure if he got a century for both countries. He was quite a star in the One dayers. It was thought at one time that Andy Goram ( fast bowler) would maybe play for both Scotland and England at cricket. However the Rangers management stopped him playing cricket for Scotland. It was thought he would get injured. That may be a quiz question ( Name the Rangers player who played football and cricket for Scotland ) ?
  2. Alex - Pardon granted – It was because if you must know that I suggested that Alistair Cook the England cricket captain, who recently passed the number of centuries scored by any other England cricketer throughout history, would in my view be a strong competitor, for the award next year. My suggestion sparked off a tirade by people who don't like cricket, having a go at me, and at the sport. Quite unfounded I thought. It appears that if a suggestion on this forum that is outside the main stream of thought, it attracts a sort of lynch mentality of abuse. Not unexpected I feel , maybe I’ll learn one day to keep my ideas to myself, the amount of time and effort I use to explain my reasons is beginning to take it’s toll. Prejudice at this level is difficult to endure
  3. Mind you how is the air in Dewsbury these days ? Used to be full of smoke from the mills when I played RL there.
  4. Thank you - I agree or my 44 year old son and my 36 years old daughter would get quite cross with me Regular refrain is " shut up Dad", I don't know why? lol Anyway I can still beat my daughter at Badmingtion, but don't tell her I said so Happy Christmas to all
  5. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Get%20thee%20to%20a%20nunnery http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/philistine If the cap fits ! You come on to a public web site you are particulary rude. You show no respect to the people who set up this forum, they provided a platform for discussion If you do not wish to discuss it is particulary rude to yawn and make fun of the poster I come from a different generation to you ( I think) where we had to work long hours, we had poor schooling, we did not have the oportunies that people have today, but most of all we were taught to respect older people
  6. Get thee to a nunnery - Philistine
  7. Can't be played in Scotland Did I give my donation to the Elgin Cricket Club, at the ICT car boot sale by mistake? Or was the game I watched over Elgin way an aparation?
  8. I'd like to say I ended up marrying her, but alas I never saw her again, and she never even came back for her knickers. Did they fit ?
  9. Captain Morgan from Ireland - England cricket 20/20 captain Hammers India in a thrilling finish It was the biggest run chase in England's 20/20 history
  10. Hi Just a point to book lovers These are the search engines the trade use www.bookfinder.com www.addall.com www.ukbookworld.com If you see any of my books I can get them to you post free at the game , most of them are on UKbookworld
  11. If its waffle, Face a cricket ball at your head doing 90 miles an hour Stand in the slips for six hours watching every ball doing a similar speed, then having to catch it like a flying brick, not parry it away like a golie. Play nearly every day of the week with no rest like a soccer player Bowl twenty overs at full pelt running thousands of yards in a day If there is any other sport more demanding I would like to know about it This is not to mention the upire who has to concentrate on the flight and bounce of every delivery. I don't know when you lot will respect I know what I am talking about.
  12. Sometimes think this web site gets very childish
  13. Alister Cook is coming up fast on the outside , more test centuries than any one in an England shirt He will get it next year if as Captain Cook he keeps winning Being a cricketer is more demanding than any other sport. It takes more skill than anyother sport
  14. I dont know what feck means, but lets phuck the lot of them - roger and out
  15. I thought County played well. There is no way that team will be relegated Ross staying up will be good for us and our gate money
  16. That's a point I quite like womens Tennis and cricket, not too keen on women's footie or golf though though.
  17. Basically our bench is a bit weak, only two outfield players of any use. Sutherland and Morrison , otherwise I would get a game If we could sign any useful guys for the bench it would be a start
  18. I am sure Butcher will find somebody With Coventry likely to go bust, Maybe some rich pickings there.
  19. Just make sure he supports ICT. :P He Lives in Istanbul I think his team is Besikas ( If spelt right) I am working on it, I bought him his Inverness scarf for Xmas My Daughter is expecting in February, she says she is coming here to be near her mother for the confinement. Looks like I will be the Grandad of a Scot. If male will be qualified for Scotland, England , or Turkey . That's a thought
  20. Not quite but I sure feel it or don't feel it , but that's a different matter I am actually only 21 lol It's true though Rangers are being whitewashed, ready for a return.
  21. weather forcast for Tuesday is pretty grim I suppose if I get a ticket I can call it a donation to club funds if I cant get over the tops on the A9 I am very happy today as my son in law has got his spouce visa and will be allowed in the Uk to live with his wife.
  22. Yes Rangers are Lily White now absolved of all sin like a Catholic after confession It reminds me of the old marching song of the first world war. "Wash me in the water that you wash your dirty daughter in,, and I will be whiter than the whitewash on the wall." One season in Div 3 Then a member of the new league set up,and In 2014/15 like it never happenned .
  23. If you aare worried about inheritance tax All you have to do is loan your goods to your kids, and when your clogs are popped they dont pay any tax because it is a loan/ ? from a trust And if you fall out out with them whilst you are still around , you can demand they pay it back Then loan it to the RSPCA And claim tax rebate
  24. Maybe he should become a flat jockey and get a real ban
  25. The penalty seemed fair enough to me. Better than the one Hearts got at our Gaff
