The funniest thing is everyone keeps coming up with 'similar' examples of England or McCullum doing something similar to suggest it's ok. When all of the 'similar' examples are very different. Bairstow should have looked, but the point is it's clear he's marked his ground and is heading for the midwicket chat. It's tricking someone out on a technicality. Carey's entitled to have a go at the stumps, but they should retract the appeal if they had any sense of doing the right thing. As you say - cheap.
There's talk going round that the takeover will be announced sometime this week then Farke will be announced same time. I'm not holding my breath.
I pinched this from ja606 quite funny. E There is rot in our timbers, the decay of old men who will plod happily in these waters, because they did not like the cut of our gib in the Premier League. Old men weak in limb and spirit, unable to match the skills and vision of other crews, tossing out cliches like chum to the sharks. We’ll be back, says Captain Cooper. Old men already living off the glory of yesteryear, quietly dreading the distant possibility that promotion back to the Premier League would end their happy reminiscing in their deckchairs, as we look for an iceberg to flounder on. Vice-Admiral Bamford hugging a handy four million a year without ever paying a penalty, although he missed a few. Luke through gritted teeth remembering how easily Eze skinned him, First-Lieutenant Forshaw aye-aye sirs the officers with the honest enthusiasm of Forrest Gump in calipers and wait, First-Seaman Dallas feels a North Sea freeze in his femur, it’s too cold for football today. Many are leaving or have already gone, chameleons pretending to be footballers, oh how we laughed at their antics. Koch impotent and Roca flapping as Lanzini takes a farewell stroll through our beleaguered rearguard. Plumply McKinnie and Fumbling Firpo sneak into a life raft, others too spineless to name wait their turn. We are a ship without an anchor, rudder or mainsail, becalmed in the mire of the Championship while those around us have long since vanished over the horizon. If and when our new Captain takes charge, he will find us well and truly
One week they'll probably be right, with every passing week it becomes more likely. I'm hearing we might be announcing some additional friendlies soon!
Reports of Roca training by himself at TA as his deal was announced in Spain last week, but probably waiting rubber stamp by a Leeds director?
Just to wind Leeds fans up even further, it’s reported that Pirlo wants to sign Hjelde, Joseph and Montiero. 3 players bought by Radz for Leeds and now wanted by Radz for Sampdoria…..
