Not forgetting the Franny Lee Norman Hunter match where we won 3-2.

My first game on the Popside, a fantastic and unforgettable match.

Good luck, rynny. 👍🏻

Yorks one down (38/1), the collapse is imminent! 😁

Du Plooy involved again, (took the catch), but Masood clips his first ball for a boundary, when he really could have been out caught!!! 😡

On the off-chance that our bowlers won't pull-off a miracle, I'll be doing a rain dance.

Is Conor Sammon available?

Depressing that Notts just have to attend to beat us. 😡

Hopefully the TT goes without casualties this year.

Yes, they are only doing because they want to, and are all aware of the risk...but it is a huge risk to put your life that much danger. If there's no risk, there's no thrill. Is it worth it? You have to let the individual decide. It's one of the reasons I'm glad the TT essentially remains an amateur form of racing (despite its high profile).

 

 

Winner of the 'blue ribbon' Senior race at the TT will pocket approx. £20,000 prize money if they are leading at the end of every lap, (last year it was £18,000). Thats 6 laps, (226 miles), at an average speed of about 135mph!

A qualifier at Wimbledon this summer who could possibly never return one single serve and get beat 6-0, 6-0, will 'win' £50,000!

Whilst waiting for qualifying at monaco, there's GB4 from Donnington park, seeing as donny was mentioned this week

 

Point of order RAW, its Donington (its even shown on your photo)! 😉

After optimism at the start of the season, this is just becoming a ‘same old Derbyshire’ season?

FTFY

Yeah we need more oomph in that batting line up, of course, seeing some of those Haider Ali fireworks we’ve heard about would be nice.

Northants at home on Monday, who have also lost both games, getting hammered by Worcestershire and Durham.

So I guess its DCCC to their rescue? 😳

Moooo

I've got a very brief cameo in 'Closer to the Edge'.

😎

Isle of Man TT starts this weekend.

If you've never been, but are a fan of bike racing, its a must.

Will be my 26th consecutive year excluding foot & mouth and Covid.

Narrow it down...."an amazing opportunity elsewhere" could be anywhere away from Stoke.

Skeg 2nd eleven?

What is it with DCFC/DCCC and crap officials? 😡

Coastfields is a caravan park in Ingoldmells. A mate of mine worked there and got us a free van for a weekend a couple of years before covid.

It was that bad it was brilliant, there was a group of us and it turned out a raite laugh even though the camp would have looked dated in the 70's !!!!!

The karaoke pubs in Ingoldmells, sticky carpets, sticky women, bingo, happy hours, pished families from Halifax with feral kids, the camp swimming pool got shut down cos some fecker shat in it............one bloke with a Leeds shirt on fell off an open top double decker bus, got up and ran alongside banging on the door to be let back on as it rolled slowly down past Fantasy Island market..........

Class, you don't get that sort of entertainment at Centre Parcs.

 

The only thing missing was Stephen Mulhearn.

Home from home then, Utch. 😉

You must have had a good silencer on your chainsaw.

Noa Kirel 😍

I need a lie down, where's my Sanatogen?

Whatever they come up with for next season, I find it hard to believe they can make such a crap job of it as they did of the current offering.

The black kit with (green socks 🤮) was just NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO and the burgundy was nearly as bad.

Nowt wrong with a decent pint of mild.

Drink a river full then wake-up next day with a clear head. 😎

Wood and Jagielka would make a great CB pair. Imagine the savings on the pre-season overseas trip when they get OAP fares.

Missing out on the play offs could be a really big blessing in disguise.
