Gallows humour alert - the Sussex CCC 2024 thread is open.
Last season’s county championship campaign was bizarre. We only won a handful of games but still nearly got promoted. Nothing peculiar about the short form stuff though - we were simply a mess.
A few have flown the nest, including...
A film that was maybe panned, or went under the radar, that you loved.
For me , The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (2014 remake). It’s like a gentle Bond movie. Beautifully shot, amazing locations, great acting.
We have arguably the best and most successful league.
We are a football-mad country.
We are well-located for it.
We are ideally set up for it.
Some countries are on their second go since our only hosting eons ago. Eg America FFS.
There must be a grudge somewhere…..but even so.
Will it ever...
Usually when PL players score they wheel off and celebrate, even if they know it’s dodgy. Presumably not to draw attention to the dodginess.
But Mitoma almost seemed to concede it was handball, eventhough it was a debatable call.
There were other occasions today when, on the pitch at least, we...
No…thread title is not a typo . Look elsewhere for news on Makail-Smith’s latest move.
I’ve worked for the same company for 20+ plus years.
However due to company’s plan to ‘realign financial resources‘ (🙄) , I’m out.
Whilst I am on Linkedin it has been a while since I’ve done a CV.

Perhaps it’s a 40s thing but I’m becoming more aware of my max my family’s health, and in turn insurance cover.
I wondered what, if any, health cover you NSC sages had, and recommendations, what you’d do in hindsight. Dental plan or dental insurance? (Can’t get NHS treatment anytime soon)...
A few of my family members are looking at getting together to buy a holiday home, possibly in Spain.
It makes sense with lots of young kids, so storing stuff out there and not having the uncertainty of going to different places on holiday.
Also thought it might work out being cheaper in the...
As clear a handball as you will ever see, but not enough conclusive evidence apparently.
This **** up may go a long way towards deciding the title.

Is Travis Head (in the county championship).
His form did pick up during the last Summer.
He also has captaincy experience in Australia.
We will need to recruit, but not a bad appointment imo.
I remember him destroying us at the Goldstone in around 1990.
Took it round Perry Digweed and slotted it home. 3-2 to Swindon, if I recall correctly.
Good player.
Sad loss.
Looking back at the goals v Newcastle
Trossard - Bob would have got a touch on that
Welbeck - same
Maupay - not impossible he would have got that one too
Nothing against the finishes, more a comment on Bob
I’m being hassled to have a clear out, and my old Albion shirts from the 90s are in Mrs Nobo’s crosshairs, so to speak.
Does anyone know if there’s much of a market for them ?
According to Aspinall, of the eight wins we have had since the start of last year, in seven of them we had the minority of the possession.
I’m not sure what that means we should do, but it appears keeping the ball simply isn’t working.
Thoughts?
Walton 6 Fine
Veltman 5. Bit careless today
Dunk and Webster 6
Burn 6
Propper 6 some nice passes
Bissouma 7 lovely goal
Tau 3. Piss poor today
Macallister 5 I like that he shoots but he needs to work on his accuracy
Alzate 5 meh
Zequiri 4 I’m perplexed at how this guy is in the first...
