You cant help feeling, the media is correct, when they refer this as a 'Micky Mouse' sport . Talk about shooting yourself in the foot... Is this a cut and paste comment from one put on here last season sometime? Or one maybe from the season before? Or maybe the season before that?.. Or maybe the season before that? Or maybe the season etc etc etc etc. They never do really learn do they? All to win competitions that by their very own actions mean they become devoid of any kudos or credibility... Absolute Crackers when you think about it isn't it?... Edited September 9, 2019 by mikebv Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waytogo28 2,054 Posted September 9, 2019 Hardly anyone was going anyway. How about a nice Buster "special" Double Header. Just to round off the season in traditional style? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Shovlar 10,424 Posted September 9, 2019 Poor old Ricky was carrying that nasty shoulder injury against Wolves. No wonder he struggled. Have to use horses for courses guests now. A real shame as it looked like Ricky was about to ram in some big scores for the playoffs. Our chances are now officially wrecked. 2 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes apparently before Poole signed him,so why an earth did Poole sign an injured rider in the first place.Silly if you ask me. It has rained much of the morning here in Wisbech.Stopped for a while and has now started again.The rain has to start and stop somewhere. Never forget a meeting we went to several years ago.It was hammering down all the way to Lynn,roads under water and when we got to the pullover roundabout it was dry and the meeting went ahead. I was probably at that same meeting! Just shows how weird and localised the British weather can be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

'Even a sport like Darts'. That the one that attracts far bigger crowds, especially to Premier League events? Since when was the 'papers' the entire media? BT Sport are media.. they're broadcasting live coverage of this 'mickey mouse' sport tonight. Never heard them call it Mickey Mouse. Or Local BBC services on their live commentary.

Danny Connor 351 Posted September 9, 2019 I travelled back off a Lowestoft holiday for this rainoff it was wet but not waterlogged however it was not drying weather either. It didn't really properly stop all day. Don't know what to make of it. I understand but probably would have to think twice next time I'm a distance away Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
