Until then I'll continue calling a club who hired a convicted racist, and who victim blame, and then double down on that, alleged victims of racist abuse before even clarifying the facts, a scummy racist little club, cheers.
As much I don’t want to detract from your point, MalKKKy was never convicted of anything. The FA did not have rules at the time that covered private communications on private devices. So he did not receive an FA punishment.
This would have been an ideal opportunity for MalKKKy to show he was a reformed character, but sadly he fails once again.
County have been an utter PR disaster this past six months. You would think we can’t sink any deeper, but we do.

Andy Murray’s wild card confirmed for Indian Wells. Even more exciting is the wild card for Kim Clijsters. Should be a fun tournament.
Novak has pulled out, and potentially might not play the rest of the season but he’s expected to return for Paris and the Turin Finals. Looking to clinch a record 7th year end number one. Although Medvedev could thwart him if he goes on a Murray 2016 run.

I think that any time we get scheduled to play Ziggy we should all play Polish Ziggy at the same time

League Encounter
GCarlos9 defeats Beef2711 by resignation.
I thought the resignation was a bit premature, but I’ll take the win.
Cup game still in the balance.

Andy Murray will be on court around 1.30am to face Casper Ruud. Will be on Amazon Prime.

Yeah I think k I need some practise at 960, don't get it at all
I find it difficult to switch between 960 and normal. I have a board on my desk and have it set up for my 960 match in the cup this week.
I struggle to see the game at the start, as your normal patterns of defence and attack are badly skewed.
I made a really basic error in my league game that I had to resign. Mainly as I was thinking a space was covered by a bishop, and it was the normal set up so it wasn’t. I just didn’t see the move as I thought there was no danger. My fastest ever defeat

Kei Nishikori withdrew so he played a Lucky Loser (Denis Kudla) and won it two easy sets. He now faces number two seed (Casper Ruud more a clay specialist) in the next round.
In the most unexpected Wild Card news Emma Raducanu gets a wild card for Indian Wells. She would have needed to go through qualifying, as she was out with the ranking required for main draw when the cut off for entry was made.

I resigned from my match with Craigkillie. Proper Ross County style defending.

Great another match with Beef for this week

Div A - GCarlos9 beats el_scorgio, resignation. Lost this one in the middle of the game through poor position, trapped myself in the corner, and got the pearl revolver out when all hope had gone. GG. If this was football management, I'd be expecting the sack by now.
I assume moves 31, 32 and 33 you were looking for a draw by repetition? I felt by the time I had offered the Queen sacrifice I had seized control of the middle of the board and was in a better position, so wasn't going to accept the draw. I was in such a bad position at the start as you developed your pieces chasing my horse around. Good game and good luck for the rest of the season.

Krypton is basically about Superman's da, its a couple of seasons but standalone
Superman's Granda is it not? Wallis Day happens to be Superman's potential granny and she's Batwoman.

I have watched all nine episodes of Visions and thoroughly enjoyed the series. Obviously a couple of the cartoons were utter guff, but the differing styles of animation and stories were extremely different. Episodes 1, 7 and 9 were my favourites but there was something for everyone in them.

After another match of not taking his chances, he moves to San Diego where he will face Kei Nishikori in the first round with a second round tie against Casper Ruud if he advances.

Division A, Round 9
King safety went out the window as both sides left their royal personages exposed to the elements, but GCarlos9 didn't make mistakes when it mattered and I did.
GCarlos9 beats AimHere by resignation
You should have played me last week, mistakes all over the shop. It says you had a missed win. I can’t work it out.
Extremely good game, Kevin Keegan would be proud of us.

A days rest before the QF. He will face the winner of Pouille Hurkacz. Hurkacz is the number one seed. When his first serve goes in, it’s almost unplayable.
0 -
The tweaks he has made to his serve have really helped him. He will hit the serve before and after the ball has reached its peak in the toss. The toss isn't as far forward either. This dropped off at the tail end of the third set when he tired, but with more matches that will improve.
San Diego next, then Indian Wells and then back to the scene of his last singles win.

A big anti-The Caley agenda forming on this thread and I, for one, think it's disgusting.
I for one think it’s great.

Gcarlos9 and Board_stupid, game drawn by agreement.
I was soooooo far behind in this game and the only way I got back in to it was due to uncharacteristic errors by my opponent. I could almost hear @Lokiturn the air blue from miles away.
In the end I had queen, rook and a pawn, versus queen and 5 pawns threatening promotion. A draw seemed fair enough and was more than I could've hoped for earlier in the game.
The word moron springs to mind. Our game would have had another 20-30 moves each most likely and I couldn’t be bothered doing all that for a draw anyway.
As always good game and it was quite the tactical battle as always.

I am absolutely seething with rage as I made a colossal error to go from a position of strength until needing to play superbly well to get a result.
To play as well as I can I need to play with the board for at least an hour a day going through moves (probably more against the more experienced players). I think I’m at the stage where I’m chessed out. And then I can f**k it all by not paying attention

Presumably they aren't showing much, but the trailer makes it look like a reboot with (mostly) the same actors.
Got a horrible feeling this could be a Godfather 3 situation, with Lana Wachowski making another Matrix film to fund stuff she actually wants to do. And we've already had two Matrix sequels made for cash.
The story is already there to have a total reboot. The original Matrix film, the matrix in that was the sixth or seventh generation. So a total reboot wouldn’t be out of sync with the originals.
Certainly looks good from the trailer. Neo munching all the blue pills intrigued me the most. Sick and fed up of the real world, so gorges on the blue pills?

Murray got drop shorted to death in the first set 6-2 and has pulled it back 6-4. Safiullin has now left court for a toilet break
I have never seen this Russian play before I don’t think, but his drop shots are absolutely immense. Not the spectacular Paire reverse bouncing ones, but well executed. Good high quality match.

That’s now confirmed that Murray will play the Metz Open next week. I suspect he will then travel to America and play a 250 event before Indian Wells. Will need a wild card for Indian Wells.
Emma Radacanu wasn’t in the top 108 when the cut off for entry was needed. If they give her a wild card she will be seeded

Murray wins 6-3 6-1. Will play next round on Wednesday.

Yet to face a top 10 player yet though, I think.
The rankings mean nothing currently due to the rules protecting players during COVID. Bencic and Sakarri would be top 10 without.
As sad as Andrescu’s career has been since beating Serena two years ago, she only dropped those points on Monday. She’s been top ten throughout COVID despite rarely playing due to injury. She was where Emma is now, so hopefully nothing like that happens to her.
She will be offered lots of money to play all the Chinese tournaments next year, plus she’ll be able to do post match interviews etc in mandarin.
Anyway back to the grind of challenger circuit for the second most popular British player. Currently a set and a break up against Yannik Maden. Possible QF against Gasquet and SF against Gilles Simon if he makes it that far.
