Cracovia wins the Cup final...in hockey. :hockeygoon: :cosmo: :hockeygoon:

That would have been a better event to follow, with the Ashes not delivering all I had hoped for :facepalm: And I wouldn`t have been as horrified as I don`t know how Ice Hockey is supposed to be played.

England should go home now. Australia's bowling is dynamite.

I don`t know why we don`t leave, just fake a few more Covid cases and we could be home by Thursday :cool: You think five days without a result is a weird thing? Well how about having two more Tests to play when you have already been humiliated :tsk:

The way things are going, you don't even have to fake it. :unsure:

What's this, Bednarek does a job on Kane? :o Maybe he should've taken the place of the goalkeeper as well...

The game coincided with nap-time, so I watched the highlights only, but I have to say that I thought Kane was onside with his disallowed effort and I`m not sure why their `keeper was given a foul for ball dropping. But as I always say, even when it`s transparently incorrect, any away point in the Prem is a good one :fuckinputer:

Liverpool would have liked one :P

Kane looked onside for me too, but I'm not smart enough to be on VAR duty. :blush:

Or two -- maybe the one Salah missed by telegraphing his intent, and the one Mane missed by . . . I dunno -- the hostility of the fates? Oof.

Very different to what my list would be. I wouldn`t have included anyone I`ve never heard of, for one thing :no:

I also would not have included anyone purely on reputation :tsk:

I don`t think I`d have wanted to have been Sir in my late 30s. It must feel like you`ve already got all your best achievement behind you. I`m happy to wait for another decade or so for the official acknowledgement of my deeds :D

I just hope Price doesn't qualify. He looks like somebody Bruce Willis killed in "Last Man Standing", only shorter. Btw, that Smith-Clayton game tonight was something else. :notworthy:

The PDC is in danger of losing my support if players keep dropping out for non-dart reasons. Imagine it was this time next year, Poland are in the WC final in Qatar, and your boy Lewy was in contact with someone who had a positive test :facepalm:

Poland is left without a manager as Paulo Sousa runs off to Brazil to coach Flamengo...

I`m not sure he was doing a great job - a decent one maybe, based upon the moderate performance in the Euros balanced by a good but incomplete WC qualification campaign. What do you think?

The biggest knock on him was he's only been able to defeat San Marino, Andorra, and Albania with this team. That, and his constant line-up changes, playing two or even three "9s" at one sitting. Now it seems a given that the next manager should be a Pole, because this isn't a foreigner taking over a European giant, where everyone even knows the color of underwear all the players have on going to bed. But all that is nothing compared to Smith beating Price! :)

So many 9-dart finishes :zzz: I remember when they were like 147s. Now you can barely walk past a dartboard without someone throwing one.

I`ll start watching more of it at this stage, although I think MvG should sneak back in as though nothing had happened. Just put a peacock on his head :chickendance: Edited January 2, 2022 by IbanezJem

Not a Wright fan? When my wife saw him for the first time, she asked "Who's this freak?" I told her the "hair" is a kind of toupee. I've seen him once play in a wavy, grey piece, reminiscent of Jon Pertwee.
