Speaking of 'alternative sports' is anyone else obsessed by indoor bowls when it's on BBC2? Seriously, sit there with a few beers at lunch and tell me you're not howling at the screen for the guy you've chosen to support to hurl the bowl down and clear out the lot.

I'll get my coat.

Yes, yes and yes. And yes again. Generally 1 o'clock in the morning for me though, and then I end up staying up even longer to watch 'Bowls Extra'.

Haven't seen it for a while though, have they sold out to Sky??

Yeah likewise it's been a while since I've seen it on. The last time I saw it was early this year on the good ol' red button. I hope to some deity or other it's not gone to Sky.

Now that WOULD be exciting.

Having a spot of how's yer father requires a fair bit of skill, and certainly more physical effort, but it's no sport.

Archery is played outside though. Darts is played in pubs. You can't play a sport in a pub.

They're bloody miles away from the target & have to fire it in the air so the arrow follows an arc on its way to the board. Clever.

Darts is a sport of mental and physical fitness, skill and mind-games. It should have been a feature of that damned London 2012.

BBC 2, in a few minutes, 00.20 - 01.20, Bowls - highlights of the day's action from the World Indoor Championships.

I hope there's not a bowls extra to follow as I was up at six this morning (Monday) and will be again, erm, today.

scorpioeyes: I predicted a relegation struggle with a totally inexperienced manager. Hope I am wrong, but it doesn't look like it. MG is out of his depth,that's obvious. Sept 3, 2019 22:59:54 GMT

ggl: So are we now saying we have a manager who is not in favour of bringing in loan players and if the board decided to part company with him they cannot afford to do so ? Oct 23, 2019 8:21:42 GMT

historyboy: Sad to hear of the passing of Eddie Cack, I remember him well. I think that the said photograph publishsed by the club, of him sitting next to Dave Hermitage, isn't him at all; I think the picture shows Micky Goodall. Compare other pictures of both. Oct 24, 2019 17:27:34 GMT
