    Now then Cyc, I'm not happy about this if it's true... Diamond League: IAAF cuts 200m and three other events from 'core' list

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/athletics/50324540

    Surely, not having certain events being put on has nothing to do with its popularity, it's just the tv planners not getting the most out of the sport...!!

    I suppose it's all about tv as usual Red. From what the article says, they'll still have the events, but they won't play a part in the finals at the end of the season. It may also mean that when that when the rounds of the Diamond League are broadcast, the events listed above may not be put to air.

    But as next season will be in the Olympic year, I think the Diamond League folk probably should have opened up extra events instead of cutting them.

    Wow 3-0 to Jimmy White!

    I have got 11/1 for a White win (didn't expect to win) and apparently it was 175/1 for a 4-0 White win.

    It is my lot (thanks to geography and parentage) to be a supporter of Sheffield Wednesday Kenny.

    Last 5 matches:

    Cardiff (a) leading 1-0, dominating the match, sucker punch 1-1 (87th minute)
    Stoke (h) won 1-0 - fair enough
    Leeds (h) drew 0-0 - fair enough
    Blackburn (a) - went 1-0 up in the 83rd minute, conceded in 88 and 90+1 to lose 2-1
    Today Swansea (h) - losing 0-1 at half time, scored 81 and 90+1 then conceded 90+4 - drew 2-2

    If we could defend a lead for the last 10 minutes we'd be top of the league.

    Cannot be great with 'The Blades' looking like they could finish in the top half of the Premier League!:emoticon-0132-envy::emoticon-0132-envy:

    If we get a second before half-time it could be the usual Allianz Arena pumpin' for Dortmund!

    Day 1 of the Kyushu Basho. The Grand Master Hakuho, as usual, does it all with style.
