JCambs - if you do, just don't wear a red jacket!

LD - but I suspect they'd still be happy to play against Palestine - October 7th Breakdown of Deaths Civilians: At least 828 civilians died, including children and foreign nationals. Security Forces: At least 367 members of the military, police, and security teams were killed. Music Festival: 364 civilians died while attending the Nova music festival. Hostages and Casualties Attackers abducted 251 people, taking them as hostages into the Gaza Strip, most of whom were subsequently killed. Thousands more people suffered injuries during the assault.

JCambs-presumably you live near Cambridge, could you get one in the home end?

If anyone happens to have a spare ticket for Cambridge that they're looking to offload, please let me know!

Sad news for the Strank family if it’s true about Paul

The OTD caption is wrong. It relates to the OTD picture used last year. Incidentally, the answer to the question asked was Craig Richards

Jersey Mike's Trophy sounds so tin pot and very fitting for that shit tournament

Wimbledon fan Mark Wood retires from International cricket

The OTD looks like an Isthmian league match against Woking

*All very depressing and not very surprising. Let’s hope the new ESG chair proves themself to be the driver of much needed change.

Never mind TF, I've found he was. So my presumption is that he isn't particularly in need of anyone with ESG experience and at the least did not feel unduly upset by the events of the 2025 election. I think I'll stay in the position of being able to comment favourably or unfavourably on candidates rather than offering my services.

Sorry OI it’s not a name I recognise.

Can anyone (Laurence? TF?) tell me whether Gary Davis was part of the ESG last year?

I'm guessing the Irish athletes have an issue with this: [Link]

Haven’t seen that, DO - what is their reason?

I’m gonna let someone else point out the problem with that link.

Way to out people Laurence.

When Reading were last in the Premier League we were in the Ryman Prem. some water has gone under some bridges since. I think them shaking off the “we’re a big club” attitude will serve them well.

6MDM - I imagine Sophia, and occasionally Karen.

I like Reading's approach but I notice they did say "on this occasion". Also having been a Premier League club relatively recently they probably have a far deeper squad than Stevenage who were a non-league club quite recently.

I'll probably get shot down for asking this but exactly who writes the women's match reports for the OS? Grammatically, they are terrible. They've never been the greatest but this season they are even worse.

Yeah that’s a good way to approach it Surbiton credit to them.

I see 160 Irish sportsmen/women have signed a letter calling on IFA to boycott their forthcoming matches v Israel. Looking down the list, I'd never heard of any of them - one of them is a frisbee thrower!
