Cheltenham starts tomorrow, the showpiece of the jumps racing! Really gutted not to be going this year after 2 amazing days last year. Let’s smash the bookies this year! What’s everyone’s tips? Heard good things for Irish horses Stand up and Fight and Sir Eric. Not a tip but after watching Laurina...
Ok lads (and Lassies). Having spoken to the committee, there appears to be no problems with organising a wee game of bowls between .netters and the Northern Hibbies, there's plenty of us down there. Could you give me an idea of who would want to play and what DAY suits everyone best i.e....
......starts tomorrow at Sophia Gardens, Cardiff :thumbsup: No confirmation of teams yet. Both sides have a bit of a new look from last time round. For England I think Broad and Swann will play an important role in dictating their chances over the series. Likewise Alastair Cook though I expect...
My favourite two weeks of the year is almost here and after last year's tournament was cancelled due to the pandemic I'm looking forward to it more than ever. The draw was made today and Andy Murray, who has received a wildcard, plays 24th seed Nikoloz Basilashvili in round one. Murray is...
BBC1 Auld photos with his Hibs strip on :aok:
Just around the corner and the Grand National seems like one with real quality in it this year. I can’t see it being won by anything outside the top 10 in the betting. Hasn’t stopped me having a punt on a couple of longer shots though. Few I’m on are: Tiger Roll Minella Rocco...
The new tennis season is upon us and the first major title of 2011 is up for grabs already. It's barely two months since Roger Federer defeated Rafael Nadal in London to win the season ending championships and, in doing so, bringing the curtain down on 2010 but we're now off to Melbourne for the...
Just beaten Robin Haase in 3 sets in Rotterdam . I didn`t see first set which he lost 2 - 6 but in terms of movement and attitude he looked much better than the last time I saw him in Roland Garros . Played 5 matches in Challenger in Italy , 1 in Montpellier last week and now at least 2 this week...
The First Test begins at Trent Bridge this morning, really looking forward to it. Don't know why, but, for some reason cricket must be about the only sport I like to see England winning at! :)
The 2015 tennis season begins on Monday from Melbourne. 12 months ago Stan Wawrinka beat Rafael Nadal to win his first ever Grand Slam tournament in the men's event and in the women's event, the now retired, Li Na beat Dominika Cibulkova. I would be surprised if we see any of those players...
Signed for Manchester in Fenruary next year. Absolutely massive fight, arguably the biggest British/Irish fight in a decade or more. Unification bout for 2 legitimate world titles, definitely going to try and get to the one.
I guess since there's no thread on this, I'm not the only one wondering if this is well past its sell by date?
The t20 World Cup qualifier started in the UAE yesterday. Scotland managed to lose to Singapore by 2 runs in a bit of a shock. 6 teams go through and I think Singapore beat a full member not long ago but not an ideal start. Currently 36/1 after 5 against Kenya, Coetzer our but Munsey is the man in...
I think Wales will win it again this year.
Some match going on now between Murray & Del Potro
Normally can't wait for the Olympics but just can't get excited about it this year. No crowds and middle of the night UK times not helping.
Can't see a current thread, so if there is one point me in the right direction. :aok: How everyone's season going so far? Played yesterday for the first time in months. I had played 6 holes since September so wasn't expecting much. Last 2 days have been a mixed bag. Some really good shots...
It is nearly upon us. The usual suspects(Wright, Price and Van Gerwin) will be the favourites but it seems more open than ever. Just outside the big 3 you have Michael Smith, van den Burgh, Peterson, Aspinall, Anderson, Wade, Durrant,and de Sausa as potential winners. Also the likes of Heta and...
Andy Murray faces a tough end to the tournament this year if he's to win Wimbledon for a second time. He faces Mikhail Kukushkin in round one then probably Robin Haase in the second round, Andreas Seppi in the third round, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the last 16, Rafael Nadal in the quarter finals,...
May I be the first to say this year, I ****ing hate this game!! Until the weekend medal anyways. :)
Josh Taylor vs Teofimo Lopez is reportedly now “close” to a done deal and being targeted for May 27th or June 3rd at Hibernian FC’s Easter Road stadium in Edinburgh.
Live fron Meadowbank on Channel 5 from 10 tonight for anyone interested. For the Commonwealth title.
England up against it again after a top-order failure. (Not quite a collapse, but not what you want from your top batsmen. Cook and Root carrying the rest again. Bales doesn't convince; Vince even less so, and why bring back Ballance? I think we're going to see the difference between a...
Sorry if you like it but... It's the most boring and dull 'sport'...Ever!!! :dunno:
Right I appreciate there is a separate ongoing thread for racing but the Fez deserves it own thread as racing’s biggest week. I’ll get us started and I really fancy Native River for the Gold Cup. Might Bite is rightly favourite however I feel this whole campaign has been geared around the GC for...
Anyone any idea what time the fight is on, on Sat?
The final major of the year gets underway tomorrow. New York's obviously recovering from Hurricane Irene today but the organisers still hope that play on day one will commence at the scheduled time of 4pm (BST). Andy Murray will play Indian Somdev Devvarman in the first round, although he won't...
Cheltenham Races starts today and gives us a welcome four day distraction from the daily Lockdown drudgery I thought it would be a good idea to start the annual thread with any tips and recommendations ( reasoning and logic welcome ) over the next four days I know absolutely hee haw about...
And we are off. Anderson on tonight.
Anyone watching? He's in a bit bother here imo. Lad he's in with looks very decent. Awkward, fast and hitting hard.
The draw got made for the 2016 Wimbledon Championships. Andy Murray will play fellow Brit Liam Broady in round one, meanwhile James Ward will play Novak Djokovic. Murray's possible route to the final will be; 1st round - Liam Broady 2nd round - Lu Yen-hsun 3rd round - Benoit Paire Last...
Does Council telly have any of it this year or have Sky got exclusive rights? I don't mind that Sky could have it but they take their feeds from American TV and the frequency of Ad breaks grinds after an hour or so. I like BBCs coverage from Augusta and when the Americans go to Ads we usually get...
Ok you :hnet: mugs, I have a couple of suggested dates for your 2010 hammering by the Northern Hibbies. We have two dates available in June, 5th or the 19th. We played last years game on the 20th as that was the date that seemed to suit all your glory/pot hunters. The semi-final of our SBA...
Lost the last game, what's the matter with him? He's still winning but this performance isn't good enough. Can't continue like this. Don't understand why he doesn't give that young lad he brought in a chance with the towel either. Not Murray class? :wink: MON ANDY, GIRFUT...

World darts championship starts tonight. Anderson playing a lad called Frost. I love his nickname - Frosty the Throwman
Ok folks, I know it's only mid Feb, but I was talking to our matches secy this morning and he was asking if I had a defo date for when we hand out the hammering to the :hnet: lambs. He has pencilled in Saturday 4th June for us but never gave me any alternatives, although I would imagine there will...
Any other baseball fans on here. If so now that the post season is almost upon us what are your thoughts. The AL is all sewn with only the yankees and the red sox left to battle it out for division champs and the runner up looks likly to take the wild card. As for the NL nothing looks settled...
It started today with a TT in Denmark. Reckon Pogacar will yet again be the man to beat but Roglic and his team co leader, Vingegaard, will also fancy their chances Can’t see Ineos challenging those guys but hopefully Thomas and Yates put up a good fight
This starts tomorrow with a (definitely not just another qualifier) first round. Scotland are in a group with Bangladesh, Oman and Papua New Guinea. Top 2 go through and Scotland have been in good form so should expect to get through, with the only threat being Oman who are at home and top the...
