My main disappointment with sporting obituaries is that they rarely mention what players like Chris Davidson did for a living whilst they played and after they had retired from playing.

Denis Law, 83. Julie Andrews, 88. I'd have expected Denis law to be older than Julie Andrews.

Regan Grace has signed a short-term deal with Bath Rugby Union Club.

The referee (Cameron Worsley, I think) for today's game between Keighley and the Bulls was given a game that had potential to boil over. Quietly confident, he was excellent and controlled it well. I don't think either team will have any complaints.

Citrus Beer!!!! We managed perfectly well in this country. We brewed proper beer for a thousand years before the first citrus fruit turned up. I can't stand it. How can you have a sweet bitter?

The Barrow fans probably park in the Tesco carpark

The Daily Mail has gone behind an online paywall.

Malcolm Price, possibly the best player produced by Pontypool, aged 86. Played for Wales, the Lions and Great Britain RL. I met him when he ran Todmorden ARLC. He was a very nice bloke. https://www.lionsrugby.com/2024/01/08/malcolm-price-star-of-1959-tour-dies-aged-86/

Yorkshire stalwart Doug Padgett ... 89.

I'm old enough to remember before the concrete touchline terrace was built at Odsal. The changing rooms were at the top of the slope, Players had to enter and leave the field by walking through the the crowd on the ash banking. After one "typically robust" Widnes performance, we witnessed an enraged old dear marching into the line and attacking Jim Mills with her brolly.

Cardiff Castle has a lage flat grassed area with a raised Keep. If the stage is on the Keep, you will get a great view, The Castle is next to Sophia Gardens Park. Maybe there will be camping facilities there?

Dave Redfearn.

Rod Studd is back for Sky, commentating on the Darts.

You can't blame any town council for having ambitions.

Kearball was as bad as it ever got. At least we are playing decent rugby these days.

From The Upshot: 'NFL star Tyreek Hill has fathered three children with different women in four months.'

I've not seen where he's gone, but good luck to him. Once again, we'll lose an Academy player who'll go on to better things.

No squad number for really promising prop Marcus Green. What on earth is going on at the club?

Search me. Coming from a council estate, I've never been sure how many "f"s there are in Mafs.

Nobody should allow us to play in Superleague on the current pitch. It's a disgrace to the game.

Bradford roads are currently being besiged by British Gas workers. Temporary traffic lights and single-vehicle road widths arethe norm. Yesterday, I pulled in to the pavement to let a bus go through in the opposite direction. The bus driver waved to me in acknowledgement of the courtesy. So far, so normal. Except that he was wearing a Santa Claus outfit.

Popbitch is publishing it's annual online Pop Quiz. In these cashstrapped times, it has capped the fee at the price of a pint ... £7 !!! Some people choose to live down South

Johnny Mathis, 88.

You can't mess with perfection.

Cheek! That shop was Saville Row for us council house kids.
