Excuses excuses excuses

Whens this been a thing that so many people want to do around sports teams.

Listening to the Tuffers and Vaughan show it was something that was mentioned people are doing. So I went and had a look at it's everywhere. People defending this team. It's time people got real with these guys. It's not flipping good enough. It needs to be said.

These are PROFESSIONAL sports people. That's what they are. Why can't they defend the ball when it turns? Basics basics basics. You very rarely see them complain at each other.

People want to treat them like babies. They aren't and it doesn't happen in the youth system so why do people start doing it at professional level. I really hope the likes of Root Stokes really go into some of them. Those two shouldn't be away from it either. The way that Stokes espcially batted this winter needs to be looked at and he should be made to face everything that should come at him and more.

I'm a fan of A Cook but that's all this nonsense about I might have to give up been captain before the Test's had finished. You either give it up or don't quite simple.

This is more than just cricket and that's why at the top I said Sports teams. If ANY professional sport players can't have fans pick apart there play and it upsets them and makes them want to move clubs like was said on here the other day they shouldn't be playing Professional Sport. They need to realise people spend a lot of time and money watching them and if they happen to beleive something it's not a bad thing.

The ECB should have got a flipped off fan out in India and asked him to go into the dressing room and tell them a few truths. It seems today one of the players only seems to care about playing in the Big Bash.

Reading something that former Barnsley goalkeeper Luke Steele said. In Greece the fans don't treat them like children. If he or any other team mates messes up then they get told and that's it. Don't like it and they move clubs.

 

What's your favourite kind of jam to have on toast?

 

A eat toast dry.

Not sure why you've put this here though

 

These are the kind of discussions we're having on here today - important discussions.

 

Have you visited Greece? Beautiful country. Would love to go back one day.

 

4 days before Christmas and you are posting stuff like this . Where do you get your Xmas pork Pie from , what do you leave Santa to eat and drink , not forgetting a carrot for Rudolph

 

How would you know what was said on here the other day. You dont read other people's posts.

By the way your wind ups are ****

 

Have you ever batted against a top quality spinner on a turner? It's not easy. I couldn't even manage it in the Ponty league against a 70 year old leggie. Don't be too harsh on the batters.

And have a happy Christmas!

 

Do prefer brown or black brogues Phil?

 

Just had a xmas pork pie for tea , pork , ham , turkey and stuffing . Beauuuutifullll

 

He didn't play with a piece of straw in his teeth did he, I played against an old guy years ago who turned the bloody thing in all directions, your'e right its not easy god knows what its like against world class spinners

 

My chestnuts are roasting on an open fire.

 

I don't think he had any teeth left. He could make the ball do anything, can't remember his name but he was a bamboozling wizard with a cricket ball.

 

Geoffrey Boycott eats popcorn on Christmas Day.

 

Hmmmmm, even though its xmas I'm not sure that something as sacred as a pork pie should be messed about with.

 

If the seven dwarves were suddenly to become eight dwarves, what would you name the eighth dwarf, and why?

 

I once had a pet newt called Tiny. I called it Tiny because it was my newt.

 

He would need to be a ball playing dwarf from a premier dwarf academy

 

Easy. It's Steve.

While we're on dwarves, which LOTR movie is the best?

 

And Spanish
