  1. was just coming here to see if Mag7/Butcher had noticed the Rangers issues, an overseas friend of mine gleefully tipped me off to the level of meltdown, so I hit one of the forums, ye gods, there's a lot of unhappy folks, at everyone.
  2. Unfotunately, we continue to have a bit of the (Cricket) Ump Show, as the umpires decided unilaterally the level of light was too low, and ordered the teams off, costing Australia a half hour or so of scoring before rain came. Australia finish the day 172 for 7 (they spent their wickets in trying to get more runs.), lead of 331, but with Day five apparently going to be a rain fest, it may not happen for Australia
  3. and.... I spoke too soon. England all out for 368, and Australia basically sprint to the lockerroom to get ready for batting. Expect some fireworks that wouldn't look out of place in an one day game or even a twenty20 game.
  4. England survive, currently at 366 for 9. Now, every over they bat out will be a growing problem for the Aussies, the lead is 161 (and shrinking slowly), the Aussies will have to race out and bat up a lead as quickly as possible and gamble that they will have enough time to bowl England out again.
  5. Pretty good start for Peavy, 7 IP, 2 R, 4H, 2BB, 7K
  6. They finally got Pietersen, England finish the day 294 for 7, 233 behind Australia. Tomorrow morning, the Aussies will need to break the Prior/Broad partnership, and then pick up Swann and Anderson cheaply (england need 34 to avoid being asked to bat again immediately). With rain in the forecast both Sunday and Monday,m it's starting to be now or never for Australia.
  7. Bairstow out for 22, with England 50 runs short of the follow on target, I think they'll still get there (prior averages about 40, Broad about 25), but it's getting close to squeaky bum time for England.
  8. Big partnership for england right now, Pietersen and Bairstow are just about 80 runs short of the follow on target.. they do still have Prior and Broad left to bat, but these are England's best two batsmen left. Pietersen's already reached his century, but will he resist the urge to play one shot too many? Another 100-150 runs here could make it hard for Australia to build a big enough lead to declare and bowl England out, especially if the weather does not cooperate.
  9. Be a shame if England won the Ashes not on the field, but due to the weather.
  10. Coventry City go into liquidation as the owners of the Ricoh Arena object based on the fact that they won't be playing there (andpaying them rent) any more. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/23548760 Means at least a 15 point penalty.
  11. Sox are addicted to drama, two walk off wins in a day, tonight they did it the HARD way, scoring six in the bottom of the ninth to win 8-7.
  12. Other wise known as "The season begins, thank god!" English Championship and the Scottish Premier League kick off on Saturday... EPL and most other leagues 2 weeks or so later.
  13. Woo! My first ever monthly thread start. Big hit by Stephen Drew (how many times am I going to write that? Probably, this is the last time) to give the Sox first place as August wins. Going to be some interesting division races this month...
  14. So, the sox have the bases loaded in the bottom of the 15th. If they don't score, how soon do they throw the position players in... Edit: Sox win! First place!
  15. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-india-23505588 38 charged in IPL Spot Fixing scandal
  16. Looks like the Sox won the race for Peavy, but it may have cost us Iglesias plus others.
  17. The English Conference (formerly known as the Blue Square) has got a new sponsor, and will be known as the Skrill Premier (and below it, the Skrill North and South) Insert joke about "dubstep" and letting the beat drop here.
  18. yeah, someone on SA pulled off a REALLY cruel prank, a fake message from HBS saying that the site had been hacked, and it was going to take till Thursday for all Steam orders to unlock. Reviews are very positive: http://www.polygon.com/game/shadowrun-returns/8036 7/10 http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-07-25-shadowrun-returns-review 8/10
  19. 43 minute review/WTF is.. from Total Biscuit on Shadowrun Returns.
  20. Panama done dood it again! Beats Mexico 2-1, and it's USA-Panama in the Gold Cup FInal. The sad thing is that it means El Chepo will be fired and Gus Hiddink will probably be brought in, which will boost El Tri..
  21. The press officer now says the Concacaf disciplinary committee will decide on Klinsmann in 24-48 hours. Panama's doing it again..
  22. USA wins, despite basically playing 11 on 15, 3-1. The ref was putrid, missed numerous calls against Honduras, including a uncalled blatant elbow on Holden (UniMas showed Holden getting hit about 60 times from all angles) and to make things worse, sends off Klinsmann in the final minutes, so unless that gets rescinded, he's going to be off the sideline for the final. Come on Panama! edit: Nope, Klinsmann suspended for the final. Grant Wahl ‏@GrantWahl8m Confirmed: Jurgen Klinsmann suspended for Gold Cup final after being sent off.
  23. This Chivas thing is getting more and more ridiculous, with an ex-Chivas USA coach accusing Grant Wahl of being a member of the KKK.
  24. Not a good week for EA Football games. First the NCAA announces they were withdrawing their license (forcing a re-brand and making it harder for next year's college football game), and now on the pro side, they're on the hook for AT LEAST $11 million from losing in a lawsuit from the original creator of John Madden Football. http://kotaku.com/jury-rules-for-original-madden-developer-in-lawsuit-aga-889185198
