Donnarumma lost his sh*t there. 😂

We’re going to get five wickets and let them off again, aren’t we.

Yes, if you stick your arm and leg in front of a person who is running, you’re going to get a something in the back of your something. That doesn’t mean you’ve been fouled. Stu knew exactly what he was doing, it was clever play but didn’t fool the ref. Just because it’s clever doesn’t mean it’s a foul. He’s clearly sticking his arm and leg out, trying to get bundled over. The ref got it right, so did VAR.

On Stu? Never, he checked his run and threw his left arm out to instigate contact because he knew he was never getting a decent shot away. Good reffing, not falling for that.

A draw wouldn't have been enough anyway. 2 points with Scotland's GD wouldn't get them through.

It's still not helpful. Medical professionals can decide for themselves what equipment they need and when. Loud booing and cheering when they're trying to communicate with each other and the patient is beyond idiotic.

It looked like the 'keeper clattered his own defender with the brunt of the force. If anything it looks like Gunn caught Varga with his knee or elbow on the way past.

But that's the fault of those parties and the centre-left of politics in general. If the Tories get wiped out in July and a fair chunk of the disillusioned right vote reform, you wont be saying that it's not fair that the right aren't represented by a proportionate number of MPs. Let's be honest, if a safe Tory seat ends up being 14,000 Lab, 12,000 Tory and 7,000 Reform, you will probably find it hilarious. If the 'left leaning' parties can't establish a clear and concise direction, with an obvious favourite among the electorate, then you can't really umbrella them under that term.

I don’t know, I’m just advocating for the principle of what I believe is best. Overall I think our current system strikes a reasonable balance between representing the population and giving one party enough authority to rule the country. As for Sheaf’s mention of Finland, they’re a much smaller population, spread over a very large area; a completely different prospect to try and manage.

Almost as nuts as when Bolton tried to sign Rivaldo. Would be a weird one but probably sell a few shirts and unlike us Ipswich genuinely need a bit of PL experience in the door.

Edging towards 300 now after a little bit of a mid-innings wobble. I think I largely agree with the team, Turner is off form and I don't think piling more County games into him is necessarily the best idea. As Weston says, we've got BAA so we might as well use them this season.

Yes but think what that actually implies in the grans scheme of things. Regardless of your political preference, if you evened out the authority so that it was proportional to the vote, nobody would have had a mandate to affect any real policies since the days of Queen Vic. We'd be stuck in the same quagmire of bureaucracy, lobbyists and conflicts of interest indefinitely.

I don’t want a government which reflects the voting wishes of the public, in a PR sense, you need to give somebody a mandate to rule the country. If you dilute the authority of whoever’s in charge, you just end up with every party blocking policies they don’t like and nothing gets done. Give one party a decent level of authority and if they’re sh*t boot them out at the next GE.

Those things always tend to come out a bit like that though because the liberal parties tend to promise more of what we want. I’d love to live in a world of clean, renewable energy, with no nuclear weapons, new hospitals, lots of doctors and nurses who earn a fair wage, so I’d probably get a very similar outcome. Unfortunately the questionnaires rarely factor in what you believe the parties can reasonably deliver.

What do you mean ‘if’? He did.

It’s very rarely that simple, unless someone is in a particular hurry to sell.

Get him in next year's Eurovision.

I wouldn't worry about it too much.

That was Neser’s final game for us. Overall… mmmmmmm, I’d rather have Ellis back next year if I’m honest. We’ve got enough all-rounders in Howell, Dawson and Fuller. I don’t mind having a good old fashioned #11 batter, as long as he can actually friggin’ bowl. Wheal’s contribution to the last 48 hours has been 1-60 from 5 overs. Who chose him to bowl the 20th I’ve no idea. Vince was clutching his chest area at times yesterday. I assumed he has some sort of stomach upset and had possibly caught the same thing Daws had the night before. I guess a good whack to the throat would explain it. A better performance from his though, unlucky with his wicket.

Halfway through their innings we had them 73-5 and we let them get to 184.

Daws in for Turner tonight. Hopefully we do a bit better than last night’s pie chucking.

They could do this with three overs to spare TBH. Odd that we went with no spinners. It turns out Dawson was ill but you'd have thought Organ might be a better option than Wheal, who's only bowled one over and been hit for 12.

They winning this at a canter so far, well above RRR.

Very useful 39 off 16, or something like that to give us a total to defend. Still our openers haven't fired up, have either of them got past low twenties yet in this season's Blast?

We’re not getting to finals day this year. Even the weather is against us, raining off Glamorgan and Midds but leaving Surrey, Somerset and Essex alone.
