@voigthill Think its crap, but at least only give teams 4 chances to do it a season, save it for important games or when really needed rather than just playing with 12 every game

This impact player guff is so stupid. What's the point in a) pretending you're not opening with Vaibhav b) carding Jofra at 7 c) having Hetmyer in the subs when you've already picked four overseas players in the XI d) any of it

@Kwsw123 @PaulGosling1 Not really interested in arguing as you seek to retrofit some point to the fact you didn't read the tweet properly

@sdtgrant @PaulGosling1 Who said there's emotion?😂 surely you're aware of logic fallacies. Perhaps not, if you are also unsure of what "recommend" and "possible" mean.

City of Derry Airport was recommended as one of two possible sites for aircraft engine maintenance, repair & overhaul, other potential site being Shannon. InvestNI is now pushing Belfast International Airport as location. We need full public disclosure on how this has happened.

@Kwsw123 @PaulGosling1 He refers to the other site which is Shannon, if you had read the tweet before emotively responding that would have helped.

@PaulGosling1 "One of two possible sites" means that there is another possible option. I know you were probably better at english than maths, but this is really quite staggering.

@andrewfrugby you might see a try, I only see a few seconds of Paddy Wallace staring into the abyss with the focus a baby has on Ms Rachel

An interesting idea! I can think of a few examples but my favourite 'Completely Skullduggery Free Try of All Time' has to be this one! #IrelandWeek

@glove931 Paterson lining up a gimme 3 pointer on the timeline making me feel safe

Watching some of the Italy - Scotland 2006 match back, cause that’s how cool my Friday nights are… And it’s funny being reminded how there’d be an entirely different ball to play with in Rome & that was just par for the course

@CookeeCharlie Can't hang Tribe out to dry in an unfamiliar position, have to learn from others brought in too early (Bracey for instance). They won't change Crawley until someone makes a convincing case of averaging above 30

Asa Tribe Duckett Bethell Root Brook Smith (Could very well be J Rew) Rehan Atkinson Archer Cook (happy for this to be any other skillful county bowler) Tongue First test of the summer

@APurcell92 @127J_H Point is that if decision makers thought he could hack it, he would be in the squad. No one is going to average 40 up top from suggested names, so Crawley will stay

@sdtgrant @127J_H Of the two Durham openers in the Lions squad, I'd rather Emilio Gay get a go first. Seems a more complete player at this stage.

Worry hard incumbents, for Ollie Pope is out of the team, and the role of “player constantly talked up for the chop” is now up for grabs.

@APurcell92 @127J_H There being no obvious replacement for him is a measure of protection. If they thought McKinney was on Bethell's level he would be in the squad. Crawley survives all this and plays next summer

@127J_H Surely it's just Crawley. Honourable mention for Carse to make a late charge though

@tickerscricket @127J_H Coaches always made those desperate changes because they were planning for after the series. If England go 4-0 down everyone will know it'll be McCullum's last game so will go out with his boys

@127J_H For both good reasons and bad, I just see no way to drop him now. Only becomes any kind of option at all at 3-0 after three Tests.

I don't think England can or should drop Crawley. For every reason, he should be forced to play all five.

@shortflyslip @tickerscricket 2013 ashes was the RPM meter for the spinners, which made Kerrigan's day even worse

@tickerscricket although in fairness every cricket season brings new, largely bullshit tech gimmicks on TV. It's a tradition for them to quietly disappear.

Early take on the TNT commentary approach is that it's the graphics and new, largely bullshit, tech gimmicks that will catch them out. Cook watching a graphic showing Doggett's speed in the run-up and release and going "It's clever, isn't it? Not sure what it's telling us."

@voigthill interesting, given the man in the picture looks like the merging of Eoin Morgan and Liam Dawson

THE MILKY WAY BOSS IS HERE

me going to the gym once a month

@londonfox2030 @SaulStaniforth @ZackPolanski They can't overcome a medium sized land neighbour in Ukraine, but will invade a naval power island? Definitely a real worry as standards of living plummet

@SaulStaniforth @ZackPolanski Do you want our country to be conquered by Russia?

Yes @ZackPolanski is right to say we should be spending money on the climate crisis and food insecurity rather than nuclear weapons, but he's weak on NATO. When asked, "do you want the UK to withdraw from NATO" the right answer is a simple and straightforward "yes".

@127J_H Matt Renshaw playing according to the scorecard, all evidence pointing towards these games actually being Cricket 19 sims

Frustrating to me that England and Australia are both in white ball action but not against each other. Could be establishing some narratives, building some hype right now. RIP multi format tours.

@Siaantoday @DanielPriestley @ozynamdius @CurtisDaly_ you see how you used the word 'social' there? as in socialist? Perhaps if you paid more attention to what the concepts mean as opposed to what propaganda tells you they are life will be simpler

@sdtgrant @DanielPriestley @ozynamdius @CurtisDaly_ Hmm i thought they were social democratic,with a constitutional monarchy?

Can't attack him on policy

@Siaantoday @DanielPriestley @ozynamdius @CurtisDaly_ Yeah desperate to leave Norway, the conflation of democratic socialism and dictatorial communism is remarkable

@DanielPriestley @sdtgrant @ozynamdius @CurtisDaly_ All i know is that people are willing to die to escape from socialist and communist countries,all they have in those countries are the workers who own nothing and the elite own everything.

@DanielPriestley @ozynamdius @CurtisDaly_ Is the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea a democracy? Or is 'thats what they label themselves as' a fairly odd argument

@sdtgrant @ozynamdius @CurtisDaly_ What is the term Nazi an abbreviation for? The National Socialist Party. What was the ideology of Stalin, the Khmer Rugue, Chavizmo, Mao? … Socialism. How many people died under those regimes? 100M+ Socialism is pure evil (notably with good intentions). Have a read pal.

@SentientSquirel @DanielPriestley @CurtisDaly_ Being economically productive by definition generates the worth these services have, sorry you've ended up in such a twist

@sdtgrant @DanielPriestley @CurtisDaly_ Being "economically productive" and "having worth" are not the same thing, and until you are willing to acknowledge that and "balance the scales" you will invariably cause economic stagnation. Wealth tax is a childish idea punted by the likes of Dave Paulden to economic ...

@SentientSquirel @DanielPriestley @CurtisDaly_ I just did, fire fighters are economically productive because they keep businesses from burning down

@sdtgrant @DanielPriestley @CurtisDaly_ Why refuse to answer simple questions?
