    Where in the rule did it state that? In the case of a short run the batsmen do not change ends.

    I’m sure I read somewhere that even if 5 were awarded Stokes would still have been on strike for the next ball, so I think IH is right

    I read somewhere this afternoon but can’t now find it that in these circumstances it’s not treated as a short run but a single plus 4 overthrows. The writer, who used to be an umpire said the batsman should change ends because technically they only ran a single but agreed it happens so rarely the umpire wasn’t checking whether they crossed or not when the ball was picked up. He intimated that it’s the same as when the batsmen run but the hitter was caught out and if they hadn’t crossed then the new batsman takes strike even if the non striker has reached more than halfway. This is something the umpires do check.
    Anyway who cares, we won and it’s too late to do anything about it now.

    Oh, and Sir Geoffs second goal In the World Cup Final definitely crossed the line :biggrin:

    Taufel is an Aussie so he'd be unhappy with England winning anything.

    We played a game at Oxford in pre-season and me an Nobes were on the back of the bus with him saying how wonderful it was.

    "He gets off the bus after we've bigged him up and we've said 'we'll see you tomorrow in training' - and we don't see him for a week.

    "No-one can get in touch with him. You're trying to ring him and we are all trying to ring him.

    So we all thought that the whole Arnie chapter is well and truly behind us now right?

    Well not quite

    I think I’ve just stumbled across something from Ex where he says we only signed Haksabanovic because we promised an agent we would do so if he managed to get Arnie to sign for us in 2017.

    And when Sead pitched up for training, Slav had no idea who he was!

    And Sead is on our payroll until 2022 I think.

    Sounds a bit unlikely, isn't Arnie's agent his brother?

    Even if it's true, Haksabanvic was signed for the Academy (was 17? 18? I think). I don't think it's normal practice for the 1st team manager to have oversight of Academy signings?

    He signed a 5yr contract as a 17/18 yr old. Can't imagine he's on much of a wage. Was reported in the press as being a signing 'for the future' and was listed in the Development Squad part of the website, not the 1st team.

    Doesn't seem like much of a story, does it?

    Sturridge banned for six weeks and fined £75k after being found guilty of breaching FA betting rules.

    I think we now know who kidnapped his dog...

    I was searching Amazon for a cooling fan and came across this Question ask by someone.

    Does the fan need electricity to run or does it use perpetual motion?
    These are some of the answers.

    I've had a degree of success powering the device by positive thought

    No, it does not run on perpetual motion (that's silly). Star Agent Zig Tharg flies in from the Oogle Constellation the first of every month, sticks his cosmic wand into the back of it and recharges it.

    I use several hamsters on a wheel, by attaching a belt to the motor to power this.

    I don't want to be a know it all here but I'm fairly certain that you can power this with about 20 - 30 cats
    tie them in a neat bundle behind the fan and tickle their chins as quickly as you can.
    the collective purring should cause the fan to wiggle a bit.
    adjust accordingly.
    Ask a silly question.

    I have seen the following two headlines on the BBC sport website today

    1. “Paul Pogba brings everybody at Man Utd together”
    2. “Is Bale the most successful ‘failure’ ever?”

    :doh:

    You have to question what types of numpty are being paid by the licence payer to write such tripe

    The first one is a quotation from Mata.

    All the people going on today about how Bale's stats show he was better for Madrid than Zidane :doh:

    Yeah, let's ignore that his goals came as a forward while Zidane's were as a midfielder...or that his CL wins came with Zidane as manager.

    His myriad faults and failings, not least his dishonesty and disloyalty, are a matter of public record, and yet this has not affected those making this choice.

    This is a man who lied to his PM whilst serving as a minister, and then refused to resign when he was found to have been lying. That is the man who is now PM of the United (at least for a bit longer) Kingdom.
