I wouldn't like to be the one to clean out that bucket after it's been passed around. It may become full, but I don't think you'll find much money in it.

I know, just when Sussex get bowled out, hence confirming that Yorks are safe. Amazing coincidence, eh?

Maybe Hants and Yorks had a little "gentlemen's agreement" before the match started. ;-) Currently 131/0 off 37 overs, and already 23 extras and 18 4's! Sussex collapsing against Notts. They know it's all over.

This surely is the number 1 GK mistake of all time ..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQ7xTUpIqpg

Well that's true, but he's not going to succeed by turning away a billionaire in favour of some smooth-talking chancers who don't have a pot to pîss in. Oi! We were not privy to the huge gulf in finances of both parties, something that Fry should have been well aware of. We didn't even know who the Swiss "consortium" were! And if Lynham did have some huge backer (who didn't live with his Mum) and who mysteriously disappeared, I'm sure NC wouldn't be as pîssed off as he is.

You mean they didn't have a pot to pîss in, but promised the world. Well, it's quite understandable for Fry to have have fallen for that. Not. :mad:

You mean well done the bastards who threw in the towel a couple of years ago in their match against Notts, thereby denying Hants the Championship?

Actually they could get 22 maximum points, so at most 3 needed by Hants (assuming Hants win the tie-breaker if level on points). But still not much to lose sleep about. :cool:

All moot now... Sussex lose, 83 all out in their 2nd innings. Only a few bonus points now needed for both Hants and Yorks. Friendly draw here we come!

Assuming Yorks v. Sussex ends in a draw, a Hants draw against Yorks ensures safety. But Yorks will be hungry for a win to ensure their safety. So if Hants lose to Yorks and Sussex beat Notts (will they possibly roll over as revenge for last year??), then it's squeaky bum time. If Sussex do win their last match and Hants lose, they could both finish joint second bottom with the same number of points, wins and losses, and their head-to-head record point-wise is identical: if so, anyone know who wins the tie-breaker?

Not possible. The world ends on 21/12/12

Actually a draw would be nice. Are points deducted for preparing a featherbed wicket?

Or maybe never?

Not sure about that. You two are cracking me up. :smt046

Another pizza?

That may well have been true. But you know you've just jinxed it, don't you.

With them scoring a 90th minute equaliser? :cool:

I bet he had his fingers crossed behind his back when he made that promise. :cool:

But don't forget that any fool with a bit of money can walk League 1. Well, that's what the Lowe luvvies were telling us when NP's team walked the league last year.

I'm surprised there aren't Charlton fans logging on here saying "I told you so."

Not so fast Crab Lungs. According to "Dr" Al Fialka's spokesman the deal is still on, and he says: "That is why he was there and I think the white coat was a statement of intent." So there you have it, the "Dr"'s white coat is proof that the deal is on! :smt081 http://www.sportinglife.com/football/news/story_get.cgi?STORY_NAME=soccer/09/08/17/manual_090608.html&TEAMHD=soccer But a bit worryingly for our fishy friends: Manager Paul Hart, who saw his side lose 1-0 to Fulham, is trying to keep his players in the picture but knows little more than most. "But I can only give answers to the questions I know the answers to...it's all getting a bit like Fawlty Towers."

SOGs may remember Gary Birtles who was signed by the soon-to-be-Euro-Champions Forest from non-league Long Eaton United.
