Most people know I’m a big rugby fan… My father-in-law sent me this today, it surely has to be one of the best tries ever?

It's just not Cricket?

Keiron — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 11:10:29 +0000

I don’t understand Cricket, never have – but in the spirit of recent years attendance to sporting events we know nothing about – I will be attending a match soon. A Test for that matter, the Third day of the Third Test against South Africa!

But I was shocked to see that in Cricket you can change the result of a game some two years after it was played!

From what I understand, the Pakistan team were accused of ball-tampering during a game in 2006. So they all went in for tea, after which the Pakistan team refused to come out… (I hope they did eventually come out and weren’t waiting for this result!!)

I can fully understand why people are getting in a stress about this (even knowing nothing about cricket), the rules state (apparently) that if you refuse to play you lose the game (seems fair), but if the game is abandoned then it’s a draw.

So, you see the boys sat there supping cups of tea, they’re plenty of points down (don’t expect me to understand cricket scoring!):

“You know lads, we’re having a shocker, those lads back in 2006 did it. Lets refuse to go out – best of a bad job, we’ll get a draw!”

In a statement the former Chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board said:

“I do resent the comments that we refused to go out to play.

“We delayed coming out to play and informed the English Cricket Board (ECB) and referee three times that we were ready to return to the field.”

Apparently the captain of the Pakistan team was later cleared of ball-tampering, but banned for some games for bring the game into disrepute by initially refusing to play.

A formal announcement about the result of the game (two years on!) is expected later today!

I’m a bit of a snooker fan, always have been – just don’t get time to watch it so much now… But the bit I’ve watched today, all 9 minutes of it was some of the best snooker ever played… Just watch Ronnie O’Sullivan earn himself his brand new sports car clearing up a maximum break in sub 10 minutes!

Six Nations Day is Upon Us! Along with St. Patrick!

Keiron — Sat, 17 Mar 2007 11:30:37 +0000

I’ve got my Ireland shirt, on Em’s in her Wales Womens shirt (maybe they ought to field the Womens side today against England). We’re off to the pub with friends shortly and it’s guaranteed to be a day out, with St. Patricks Day as well, Cheltenham this week – can the luck of the Irish really hold through 3 games, each knowing what they have to do to beat the previous. The table is almost guaranteed to change 3 times today!!!

Italy have a fighting chance still, at least my friend tells me so, but he is Italian and delusional! Another tells me England will sneak it, whilst the Welsh contingent will be happy to have a punt at the (now) in-form England side and avoid the Wooden spoon?

Ultimately I think the whole day revolves around the French, If they trounce Scotland by enough points, there’s nothing in the offing for anyone! Maybe this is the kick up the bum Ireland need in World Cup year!

Oh, and a very happy St. Patricks Day to all our readers!

What a week!

Steven Gerrard & Liverpool

Keiron — Mon, 29 Jan 2007 23:11:49 +0000

I know, I know, I’m not a Liverpool fan as such (Leicester City born and bred I’m afraid!), but I have always been a closet Liverpool fan, don’t know what did it really, the autobiographies I read as a kid, Shankly? Dalglish? Paisley?

And I’m not an England Fan (Ireland all the way, Duff, Keane and the boys!).

But, I am a Gerrard fan – I don’t know what it is. He’s a fantastic player and I admire his grit and determination (for a boy that had a fork in his foot at an early age and was nearly amputated but for his dad’s quick thinking and Liverpool Football Club he’s come a long way). His autobiography was fantastic and I couldn’t put it down! I won’t spoil it for you – but it is a fantastic read!

“What I did on my summer holiday By Theo Walcott Esq aged 8 1/2 “

Keiron — Tue, 11 Jul 2006 10:52:32 +0000

I went to a place called Germany with my Uncle Sven and some other grown
up’s. It is a country in Europe where a bad man called Adolf used to live
with his nazties, he does not live there anymore, Uncle Owen does live
there, and the grown up’s say I cant talk about the bad man as it will make
Uncle Owen cry if I do. In Germany there are lots of castles and some
mountains. We are staying in a place called Baden Baden that’s a silly name,
Uncle Frank has the same name as his dad, that’s silly too, his mum must get
their underpants mixed up all the time. On the aeroplane Uncle Sol sat next
to me, he got me some toffee and wants to be my friend, he works at the
place where I do my YTS, so does Uncle Freddy but him and Uncle Sol are not
best friends anymore. Uncle Owen met us at the airport, he talks foreign,
Uncle Wayne, Uncle Steven and Uncle David also talk funny, my mum says Uncle
David talks like Orville, he is a duck, Uncle Sol say’s uncle David wears
dresses and knickers, and asked me if I had ever worn them. Uncle Sol got me
some pop. In Germany the grown ups are going to play football, my grandad
says we beat them in the olden days before my mum was born. That is a long
time ago.

While the grown up’s went to play football so I went shopping with Auntie
Vicky and some other girls she bought me a big ice cream and got herself a
little one but she said she was full before she had eaten any and threw it
away. She bought lots of shoes and handbags and let me play with Brooklyn.
She say’s she used to be in a pop band and sang me one of her songs, I think
she was telling fibs. I told Uncle Sol about my day out with Vicky and he
sulked, then he bought me an even bigger ice cream with lots of hundred’s
and thousands on it. All the other grown up’s have a girlfriend except Uncle
Sol so he plays with me while they go out. Uncle Sven says I must keep Uncle
Sol happy, that’s why I got taken on holiday. The grown up’s went to play
Football against somebody called Sweden, Uncle Sol was crying as Uncle
Freddy played for them and would not talk to him. Uncle Sol bought me lots
of toffee today and some crisps. Uncle Sven is from Sweden and I heard him
on the phone to their boss last night. Uncle Michael hurt his knee and had
to go home to his mum for a plaster. Uncle Peter is a giant, a proper giant
like you see in books, he is rubbish at football though. Uncle Wayne had a
sore toe at the start of out holiday but it got better so they let him play
football. Uncle Sol got me a present but I do not like it. He says all
Germans wear leather underpants and I should while we are here, they are too
tight for me. All the grown up’s started to call Uncle Wayne a potato head
who stood on somebodys spuds. He got shouted at by the referee. They are all
saying that we have to go home now. Uncle Sol was crying again and I had to
sit on his knee to make him stop. He had his mobile phone in his pocket, I
think.
