CWC1983

Crawley finally out after as elegant an innings as I've ever seen from an Englishman. The long, long wait for a natural #3 is over it would seem. When you look at how he plays you'd think there's nothing in his technique that you could offer up as a potential point of failure. 
Hats off to Jos too. I'd written him off long ago as a test cricketer and while I still think there are better keepers out there, in his batting he's shown a immense discipline in the last two tests. Also to the Pakistani team who showed real class with nearly all of them jogging over to congratulate Zak as he left the crease. That was really nice to see. 

I  caught the last 2 bouts on last nights card. 
Barrett v Donovan was a really good fight. 
Felix Cash performed well against Welborn, he looks a talent, although I couldnt understand a word of his interview. I guess he's from the travelling community. 
I like the boxing without the fans. 
You hear so much more from the ring and ringside than normal, its fascinating. 

I fell asleep and missed it. I was only really interested in Gill and Eggington anyway. 
By the time Eggington hangs up the gloves he will have a face like melted wax. Entertaining, likeable fighter but takes far too much punishment. Knew he'd lose ?

I watched Fight camp on Sky last night. 
Thought it was pretty good, all things considered.
Most of the bouts were decent fights and the Jonny Nelson 10 min talk about boxing and BLM was excellent. 
  

Fulham deserve that. Theyve been time wasting from the 2nd minute.  
And theyve equalised........

Horrible game - no real quality from either side, niggly fouls and lots of mistakes - complete opposite of last nights.....

Reduced to £1.50 per bottle at Waitrose. I think the original price was £2.20. 

These 2 are beautiful.  

My first pub pint following lockdown was...

followed by one from Derbyshire's finest..

 
...and then a few more.
A quiet, rainy Wednesday afternoon was a good time to head out, only 5 people in the entire pub.

These 2 are beautiful.  

duck me, Bournemouth v Spurs is bad

A sturdy Polish version of ravioli.

Echo everyone else's sentiments. 
Well done for taking the decision, and keep an open mind for the future. 
Stick on bbc this weekend, have a few beers and watch Glastonbury. It works for me. 
All the best mate. ?
 

He just thanked Daniel Kinahan, part of a notorious organized crime gang.  Slightly controversial company Fury is keeping...

Deutsche Bier for me too.

A diverting half hour documentary, worth a watch.

The Gentleman  - Colin Todd out of 10
I thought it was just brilliant. Great acting and a fantastic script. 
Classic Guy Ritchie.
Hew Grant was absolutely outstanding as was Colin Farrell and Matthew Mcconaughey.
If you liked Lock, Stock and Snatch then you'll love this.
Spenser Confidential - Mick Coop out of 10.
Apparently this is the second highest watched Netflix film week of release.
Just a vehicle for Wahlberg to go back to his beloved Boston and earn a load of money.
Lame script, hardly any humor worth the name and a script more predictable than Roos coming out and punching a ball he could have caught. 

An oldy but started watching Still Game on Netflix over lockdown, just to watch something less intense and it’s perfect. Just a daft and funny sitcom with a wee bit of heart. Lovely stuff and easy going. Final series is only on iplayer though at the moment.

Just finished Normal people tonight. 
Superb.  The ending makes you want more, and hopefully the author has a 2nd book up her sleeve. 

As previously mentioned, Normal People is a good watch. Also recommend Derek if you've not seen it all.

Cheers?
I dont have redtv, instead watched England v Switzerland from Euro 96 on ITV4.    
That was a decent England side. 

going to look out for the first Croatia match . Remember watching Asanovic play and thinking have we actually just signed this bloke for 500,000. Certainly got a steal there.  Wenger tried to sign him for Arsenal after his first match to find he'd joined us .  Got his own back with Petit who was on the road to sign for us the following summer then turned round when Arsenal came in last second.

Happy Gothenburg Day @CWC1983 from the Aberdeenshire Rams.
 

Can also recommend 89 on Sky Sports about Arsenal’s championship win in, you guessed it, 1989. Although Paul Merson shows his dhead side by claiming they thought they’d blown when losing to a Derby side who were in the bottom 3 at the time. We were 5th ?
