Love visiting Mousehole. My missus derives from Penzance and we get down there a couple of times every year. The walk from Penzance through Newlyn to Mousehole is stunning but not really tiring. On that stroll you pass the closed lifeboat station and the tribute to the crew of the Mousehole lifeboat lost with all its crew. I always just fill up just looking at it still after years making this little trip. The football team are evident in local activities along with the Male Voice Choir and the Penzance and Newlyn rugby club - the Mennaye Ground is another great venue. Penzance is a brilliant town _ a working place unlike the holiday and exclusive atmosphere of St Ives or Padstow but it is scenic, with decent pubs and places to eat. I can recommend the Cornish coaster between Penzance and St Ives - open top in the Summer months but a fabulous way to see the coastal villages. Will be back down in late November...cunningly having plotted it to miss any of our home games. |

A jay (basically the same bird) was injured in our garden. HIs/her injuries sound very similar to your magpie. Neither my wife nor I had much of a clue but we rang local pet shop who accepted the bird. A sanctuary would be best but the pet shop staff said that there is an organization who care for injured wild birds and they would collect our jay |

Or we could decamp to the Mennaye Field with lots of space to develop a huge ground and share with the Pirates as they overtake Exeter. Penzance needs a big club (even us!). |

sorry but our Guinness kit as worn against Chelsea when we were sponsored by the black stuff was, in fact chocolate brown with ,I think, cream facings and hoops. |

Are you accusing Harris of being an incompetent mendacious opportunist? If so, then surely she would be a better running mate for Strumpet than Vance who is merely, singularly, an incompetent mendacious psychopath? Just saying! |

Utter and complete tory conspiracy b...s. Take your thrashing like a man. JRM and Boris would be ashamed of such a display of whining. Think up some other nonsense and apply for Rishi's job. He has just resigned and the party needs to reestablish its Monster Raving Loony credentials. You sound like you are just the man! |

100% St Albans City - just down the road, decent level of football as well as being surrounded by a great range of boozers. Best EVER chant - home to York -(Because the cultured and religious City fans cherish their cathedral) "You've only got a minster". There's class for you! |

No former WBA player scored for us in 1967... therefore Sam does not need to score, although it would be nice! I'd go for a pint in the Lazarus' former pub in Fulham palace Road to guarantee victory but I'm pretty sure it's gone - or at least changed character so it's The Uxbridge as usual. |

I think the issue of Dykes "sending off" which was more than a little hysterical. No complaints about a female commentator, but just as with referees, linos, managers, directors, owners , players and supporters, they must be competent and objective to validate their view,. The commentary team on Friday was neither of these. The grudging faint praise for QPR once they had seen off Preston's early enthusiasm (no more because they did nothing with their initial possession and territory), for the second quarter of the match and then clearly dominant in the second half , was phrased in a deafening non-comment and reluctant concession of defensive determination. Bias in a national broadcaster, when it achieves the heights of pro-Preston desperation as of Friday, needs to be curtailed. I am sure the team from Friday - summarisers and commentators- have better days ahead of them - just preferably not dealing with a QPR match. |

...and,from his commentaries, he is not scared of calling a spade a spade regarding performances. I am only worried that like Ainsworth - a club icon, Sinton will be faced with such a mountain to climb that his legacy as a club legend will be poisoned. I think Warburton would come back, his experience having chastened his views; I'd love Warnock back but it's a long way down to the farm in Cornwall and he'd need a razor-sharp number two. |

Comletely agree. The scheme is designed to kill off county cricket and place the media - conducive presentations squarely as the property of franchises - similar to U.S. Gridiron sides. These franchises are allocated to the major cricket grounds and tickets are nearly given away. I am a member at Kent (not a good year for us this!) and love both The St Lawrence and Beckenham grounds (and the Neville - but looks like that's a thing of the past) as well as visiting "away" venues. Taunton, Bristol, Hove, Richmond and a host of other grounds are great places to watch the full range of competitions but rarely get the TV coverage they deserve. The "Hundred" needs scrapping and the 4 -day, T20 and 50 over games given media support.
In a world where football and rugbu union may be limited to the "Super-grounds" and major financial interests are only too keen to impose their own image on the sports, it won't be long until London Excellence play Northern Superstars at The Wembley Superdrome (On Sunday Evening of course) in the Soccer Superleague and "Saraquins Irish" take on Celtic Ruckers at the "Twickenbowl" for the Rugger World Series. It's not difficult to see that you don't need a weatherman to see which way the wind blows (Sorry Bob!).
I attended the Ageas for the semi-final of the One-Day cup and was depressed to see not a single Hampshire shirt in the entire stadium because the young Hants fans all had "Southern Brave" shirts etc. Kent don't have that problem and yes, in a way of course I am jealous but the "Hundred" is a concocted Eton Mess which has much more to do with showbiz than sport. Bin it! As I look up from the laptop I am relieved to see the rain at Lords - even God weeps to see this nonsense! |

Criticism is not"denigration". FPTP ensures that a minority with funding and vested interests remains in power. Sometimes the label on that minority changes but the effect remains the same. In contrast, your description of Bazza's point as "left wing dribble(sic)" - let's all hope you intended "drivel" is a dog-whistle to other posters and readers here which condemns any questioning of the status quo as "political" and out of place on a QPR forum. This is, frankly, a laughable example of double standards - you can attack Bazza as a liar and condemn his left wing views but, to your mind, that isn't political - it is merely simplistic and corrupt Daily Fail regurgitation - how odiously unpleasant(or odorously)! |

Reply | Welsh "National Anthem"
at 16:58 22 Nov 2022
As far as I'm concerned, the Welsh are entitled to their own national anthem. Anything is better than the dirge England players and fans are obliged to mouth prior to any sporting occasion. Perhaps, also, London clubs' tendency to remind supporters of anywhere west of Slough that they are "Welsh and you know you are" legitimizes their case still more strongly. At rugby I've heard "Jerusalem", "Fields of Athenry" and a whole assortment of welsh songs belted out with enthusiasm and skill (The welsh and Irish are much better singers!). At Murrayfield "Flower of Scotland" still causes hair on back of neck to rise up but "God Save Our Gracious Queen/King/Prince of Wales" is dull, lifeless and, frankly boring. Apart from vaguely racist football chants and the dreadful "Swing Low Sweet Chariot", it seems English sports fans lack the wit and willingness to support their nation. No disrespect to the Royal Family but maybe the suggestion of the theme to "The Archers" is a better idea than appeared at first. |

If I recall correctly the "stanley knife" cup fixture saw multiple arrests which helped to justify their away fans ban but the vast majority of addresses cited for those arrested for possession of these weapons came from the Luton, Dunstable, Markyate, Stotfold, Harpenden areas - none of which locations are exactly famous for the high number of carpenters/electricians or carpet-layers residing there- nor indeed for large numbers of QPR fans! |

Would generally agree about our "niceness" but it got us nowhere vs Lootown where from early in the game their players were mobbing the ref and demanding cards for the most innocuous of challenges - and it worked greatly to their advantage. |
