How often did that happen in Australia? Why would it happen here? From what I’ve seen, Nisbet isn’t going to be targeted for anything particularly. Given the higher standard of league, I’d say the above evaluation of “he’s looked alright” is about right. Bit underwhelming so far, but to fair the Australia national team did him no favours calling him up for games against Bahrain and Indonesia. To me he looks like a more confident version of Lotari.

I think I read that he was lining up a move to Hibs, but they sacked the manager and David Gray/ Malky thought he was too small, so County made their move.

Jim Davidson and Roy Chubby Brown FTW.

Right. Clearly a puff piece orchestrated by his agent to undo the damage done by, erm, the Daily Record and the Sun, which reported he didn’t want to be selected by Scotland. Honestly, I think Adams is still owed a printed apology.

Didn’t win the Oasis ballot but I did win the Edgbaston test ballot for next summer.

I don’t want to press play because that guy’s nowhere near as plastered as he looks on the still frame.

He’s a much better pitcher than those two. I think the Giants should have gone for Gausman, but will not regret Rodon at all. So I’m fine either way with Snell. If they can get him to agree to a five year deal, I’m all in, but he’s going to be looking for a 6th or 7th year. edit: if he’d only had been fit the first half of the year, he’d be a Cy Young shoo in. He’s so much better than I realised, and seems like a good clubhouse guy too. His interview with Kruk and Kuip was hilarious.

Down at the stadium on Friday.

It isn’t slander if its true.

Yeah, that’s daft. In two years, and he’s kept County in the division, I’d be amazed if he doesn’t make that move. But it’s far too early.

Sounds like he’s done for the season.

The technical has been rejigged to make it more like that international food round they had in Masterchef for a while. There’s always that to look forward to.

New series started tonight - the American guy who looked like death warmed up appears to have died and dropped out, while next week two more people appear to die. Some of the realism cakes looked absolutely sensational though.

Which was a good thing.

He needs to appoint Mickey Melon as his assistant. It’s the stuff Viz was made for.

This BBC coverage of the Tigers game is painful. They’re literally ignoring the game.

I thought it was for the same role as Ross has, but I may well be wrong.

Certainly implies Jack Ross has another gig lined up.

Yeah. That’s clearly why it wasn’t given. I think it’s a very generous take as he takes White out. It’ll be interesting to see if the wee toadfaced head of refereeing gives Don Cowie a call.

I genuinely feel all warm about it coming back.

He looked like he was going to walk in his post game demeanour. But County are very good at getting managers one more game by not showing up for crisis games. So I’d hold off.

Watching the highlights from a County point of view: it’s actually an excellent finish by Samuel for our second. Keeper’s all over the shop, but he’s done incredibly well to get it in target. And I thought that was a penalty on White.

He’s going to end up at Hearts, isn’t he?

Not a new album, per se, but the 25th (!) anniversary remaster of Tom Waits’ Mule Variations is a great example of how subtle remastering can enormously improve a listening experience of an already great record. Absolutely luscious remix.
