"Journalists are meant to be neutral, for God's sake." - Stephen 'Wiggy' Jones

"Perhaps it would be better that future criticism of sports be made on the narrow basis of what is being discussed, without reference to other sports, unless those sports offer a solution to the problem in hand." - Brian 'Pigface' Moore

"What happens in rugby union? A player takes the ball, moves forward a little and gets tackled. A whole load of players then roll about on the ground. Pheep! The referee gives a penalty." - Simon Barnes

Just got my copy last night, and that's where I spotted the review. I was hoping for more opinions, possibly suggestions that it would have been a better book under P&R or something.

If anyone is thinking of buying it on Amazon, please click through one of the Amazon banners on the forum to get there (there's one under the first post of this very thread) and we get a small kickback from the sale which will help keep TRL up and running. Ta. :)

Followed your instructions to the letter. However, it doesn't look like it is available on Amazon.
