Decent headstart at the half way point though - well in our hands at this stage, very unlikely 2 other teams will both go on unbelievable runs so if we perform solidly we're in good shape.

Width of a wire from 5-2 feels a long way ago now - hope he's got another go left in him

That 7th set starting to look crucial

Nope - now it's every leg in the set against the throw.

His checkout percentage would be obscene if he stopped leaving D8

Is that 4 sets against the darts on the spin. Both nervous.

Steadied that quicker than I thought, looked nervous as fuck walking on and played like it till about 90 seconds ago

Not sure Aston Villa's 37th best player, even if better than our best player, offers a true comparison - the incentives for the selling clubs are very different.

Good.

2nd favourite and can't argue with it.

straight through with 2 feet is allowed now then

Lucky their strikers are scared of shooting.

"Both sides showing their intent" Producer clearly thinks they're twats so flashes up the shots tally 4-0 Bolton

Commentators talking about Pompey starting to control the game must be on crack. 61% possession so far and surprised it's not more - they're aggressive but we look the better football team.

This is absolutely verifiably the opposite of reality, but we all know theory trumps reality once people gte bought in to a position.

Great job against 15 South Africans but when the Kiwi made it 16 the game was over.

Yep that's definitely what the discussion is about, thanks for keeping up on topic.

Yes. Many others don't have the same reputation as the BBC, or even follow the BBC in these matters. Pretty straightforwardly concerning the state broadcaster published terrorist claims as facts last night, and published the Israeli evidence based rebuttal today as 'unverified'.

A misfiring Hamas rocket happened to fall there apparently - the unused fuel caused a very large fireball which was immediately picked up on, but as can be seen from the photos there's plenty of fire damage and very little rocket damage (no crater, buildings largely untouched). As plenty of other places in Gaza can attest, Israeli rockets cause an awful lot more damage. Never ones to waste a cock up, Hamas immediately announced it was an Israeli rocket which had killed 500 people, and the BBC immediately published this as fact.

I find it surprising now most reasonable people have accepted the initial narrative of cause was wrong, that questioning the magnitude hasn't caught up either. The photos shared are of a burnt out car park with more or less un-disturbed buildings surrounded. Hard to see how 500 people die from that and I certainly hope that figure was as made up as the initial blame attribution.

Sky commentators (ok Nick Knight but dim) raving about ability of Sam Hain to make the step up to international cricket with immediate success. Feels like it might be relevant to point out the Ireland attack is sub county standard overall.

Subs are pre-programmed week before the game by the looks of it.

Worried about this one given our record in derby matches

They must be amazed at how many overseas viewers use UK banks

He's a 21 year old with 8 caps for Wales and 60 games at a league above under his belt. He wouldn't sign for our A* team sadly.
