How close to death does a fouled player have to be before a yellow card is issued ?

In the last ten years, 24 horses have died as a result of the Aintree meet (not including this year). I no longer support or bet on it. Just can't do it anymore.

Well that would be a criminal offence on many levels. I think even the most hardened of 'free speech' advocates would say that was wrong. It's a threat. Mind you, I could be wrong when I suggest that all would object.

It does seem that way. And this is my concern. I'm pleased that issues of bullying and harassment seem to be addressed much better now than ever before. But if someone said to me 'f*** of you twat' on NSC, i wouldn't go screaming for a policeman. Sadly some do. However, if someone in outside...

This is often the problem. We never know the full context and certain newspapers will choose to eliminate key facts. The first question I find myself asking these days is 'What is the background to this story ?'

Mine's 7000, but I did see matches at Withdean and the odd away one too. It's interesting, because although I've only attended one match in the last 5 years, I'm still a Priority 1 Albion+ member when it comes to splitting the group. I think the system must know of my long suffering in the 90s...

There's been a few concerning opinions on Gaza. These are all flash memories, I don't have time to trawl. But, despite broadly supporting enforcement of legislation, I know I've looked at some and felt a little uncomfortable about it.

The King and the pawn always return to the same box.

I didn't know that. So it's more about enforcement then. Which I think is an issue. But I think it's certainly better that these issues are being addressed, although some of the arrests in recent times have been absurd.

I wonder that you may not be old enough to remember some of the Indian umpires in the early 80s 😂 To quote The Cricketer in early 1982- 'six wickets fell after tea, four to the players and two to the umpires'

I've been freeze framing it, it's a risky move to make, but I can't see how that could be given. Even when you're looking for it, it looks like it's fifth stump at best.

I've watched that delivery a few times. Lost a lot of head hair with the scratching.

It is in one person's opinion, using some very questionable analogies. 'But gammon refers to whites only – to white Christians' is a very strange thing to say. There are very few Christians, in the proper sense of the word, in this country and a lot of them aren't white. 'Gammon' isn't hate...

I got an infraction on Saturday

I'd say NSC is a good example. There are pretty strict rules. But how many people actually get banned ? Hardly any. That's because nearly all know how to conduct themselves. There was a time when folk could bully and harass as much as they'd like online. And it seems to be those who are...

On the one hand, the police are clearly going to far. On the other hand you have someone who thought it was fine to mock the deaths in Manchester crying that they are not allowed to be nasty and insensitive. The truth always lays somewhere in between. I don't really care what J.D Vance says...

Surprised Sussex haven't declared. Warwicks are well out of range now. The chances of winning are very low, but I'd want to get bowling.

Now THAT is the one that bothers folk the most.

That's a good point. Perhaps I should avoid the subject. And perhaps an infraction isn't so much a badge of shame as something more, shall we say, carnal in nature. No wonder some NSCers make a habit of them.

I think us Brits are good at it too. Take the simplistic nature of some of the place names in Australia. My favourite is 'Lake Disappointment' One can only imagine that after a two or three days hike, and bereft of water, the explorer was rather miffed to find the place had ran dry.
