    But before that the Emirates Tri Nations series kicks off in Dubai Tomorrow when the hosts play Canada, the joint oldest international cricket team in the world.

    Scotland play Canada on Friday which will also be our first step on the road towards qualification for the 2027 World Cup

    Wed 28 Feb UAE vs CAN
    Fri 1 Mar CAN vs SCO
    Sun 3 Mar UAE vs SCO
    Tue 5 Mar UAE vs CAN
    Thu 7 Mar CAN vs SCO
    Sat 9 Mar UAE vs SCO

    On the basis of rankings we should be looking for a clean sweep here but playing in a desert against a bunch of pasty faced Scotsmen should mean that our Hosts have a significant home field advantage

    Meanwhile just up the road our Irish neighbours are also in Dubai facing Afghanistan at the "Tolerance Oval" in an actual Test Match

    Participants in this thread with strong Orange or Green sympathies will obviously be rooting for an Irish victory but the romantics amongst us will struggle not to be swept up in the Romance of the Afghan miracle

    Afghanistan should currently be banned from international cricket. Hope Ireland pump them.

    Fucking nailed it.

     

     

    The interviewing from Sandra continues to infuriate me. The question at 1:45 is a joke. 
     

    Sandra: “You are getting the blame for it”

    Marvin: *nods* “well yeah, I’m the manager”

    Sandra: “but when they’re out there, things like that, you can’t legislate for that”

     It’s not like she just asks vanilla questions, she actively tees him up to put the blame on to the players. If I was a player and my employer are actively encouraging the manager to criticise in public, I’d be furious.

    What you might want to consider is that you have been in league 1 for only two seasons and in that time your attendances have what, halved? We have been languishing in league 1 for five seasons and our attendances in all that time have held up remarkably well, even during the horrible Holt / Sheerin / Rennie seasons and this season have actually increased, for obvious reasons.

    With regards to the 2 recent games against Hamilton Accies, at the away game they had 1,813 home fans and we had 2,008 away fans. At the home game we had 5,455 home fans and they had 301 away fans.

    Sure, we like to crowdwank, that's our thang, but we are also loyal as f*ck.

    No one cares. Go away.
