Can't hear the commentary at the pub but for what it's worth... The saints player got the ball, then the Wire player, then the saints player played the ball back out of the wire hands: play on. Wire picked up the ball and scored. No, I haven't got my spex and No, I'm not drunk and No, I'm not convinced but that's what I thought happened.

And then... the 50/50s are only going one way. Be 10% down and it's a bloodbath.

How many TV cameras do the BBC own do we think? Perhaps we could have a whip round for them.

Shame, I was enjoying the 0-0.

I've just Googled- Barge Unloader Ferrybridge. A feast of Tom Puddings and big machinery!!!

I used to work at Ferrybridge C power station on the Barge Unloader which would lift a 160 tonne barge out of the river and tip the coal into a hopper. The said barges were called Tom Puddings.

In the 'Waiting Room' just now.

Any feeble signs of life in this game have been killed off by the Moral Highground. Disappointing.

Ok, I get that a well crafted and skilled 'laying on' that lasts an age wins games and need not be penalised and a very much quicker ptb may well be penalised but slow ptb's do suck the life out of the game as a spectacle for me. Messy ptb's don't help either. Further Moaning available on request.

Very Good!

Are Cas that good then?

I've noticed that people Love their Air Fryer in a way the never do their Microwave. Interesting.

Yes, I'm thinking it should be another fad, another appliance gathering dust somewhere but if anyone opens their gob on the subject it's clear I'm just plain wrong. I'll check out the names.

I'm someone who will happily microwave spuds, veg and sausages but Spouse is not overly impressed tbh. Any advice/comments etc on one of those new air fryer thingies?

I could half remember something was required but HD+ was beyond me. There are three possible pubs I need to check out for HD+, then hope football/darts etc isn't on and then hope the landlord isn't a Rah Rah. Sorted.

Remind me (again) about the Sky Red Button option- can all Sky receivers 'do' the Red Button or are there other technicalities to spoil my Thursday night.

Being a Cas fan this is like missing SOO!

Yes, just dropped on. Thought that was a different thing somehow. Hadn't realised that SL was so far down the food chain. Cheers.

Disaster! The local Rugby pub is closed tonight so went to another pub and asked politely if he could show SL. SS+ is tennis or something but no SL listed anywhere on the Guide. What are we missing?

Glad the Ref penalised that epic laying on by cynical Cas.

No, that's a bit extreme but yeah, take the hype/people away and we're stood with two men and a dog.

OK, here's a thing. About 3/4 ish years ago Italy(I think) beat England in some soccer final widely shown on TV which my neighbour showed it at his place to many people. Can't imagine another sport where this might be replicated. After the match I suggested that if the very same match was to be magically reanacted on a local pitch the next day then no one would be bothered. Non of us present then would be present the following Sunday. OK, no one actually argued the toss but I was clearly a ###### for even saying such a thing. Hype over content doesn't even touch the sides. I see many correspondences in the above posts. Interesting.

Tbh I've not read any of the previous posts but I remember Stevo saying that teams not paying up to the Salary Cap should be Fined. Not convinced of the logic here. I remember that teams going bust should be Fined. Not sure of the logic here. Salford lose 82-0 due to....? On BBC nation wide terrestrial TV. Not sure.....

Unless the ball is clearly played with the foot in which case it is obviously a penalty. Obviously........... but I don't know why....

I'm glad Cas have got all the decisions or else imagine the embarrassment caused by the clearly superior opposition. Ish.
