As Britain looks forward to "our" defence of the ashes :rolleyes: in the summer (cue 6 months of build up) anyone noticed the second tier type reporting of Andy Murray's continued rise to prominence and a further win today in the Qatar Open. This in the run up to the Aussie Open. If it was Timmy...
Fight on just now between some massive 6' 9" dude and a German (tw@t) in a kilt who has 21 wins, 20 by way of knockout. Looks like it could be pretty explosive.:agree:
Reading today about his retiral from Test cricket. An undoubted great of the game, I saw him early in his career when he was setting the record for most centuries in a season for Queensland and although he lost his way for a couple of years he regained the form that provoked such excitement early...
Sports presenter David Vine had passed away this morning. Remember him on Ski Sunday - use to love that programme! http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/front_page/7824275.stm
I have set up a Fantasy F1 mini league for anyone who wishes to take part at http://www.ff1.co.uk/default.asp You will need to read the rules, enter your team where you will be given a password to access the main sight. Once you've got your team (and confirmed it) you will need to click on...
Andy Murray's currently playing Roger Federer for the second time in a week. He has just lost the first set on a tie break, so he'll need to win the next two sets to go through to the final, although he faced a similar task last week in Abu Dhabi and came out on top, in the end. The winner faces...
Just beaten Rafa Nadal in 3 sets (after beating Federer yesterday). :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Cant believe i still watch this garbage but yet again this year i find myself tuning in. Much smaller field this year and the standard is garbage. The likes of Thornton, Stompe and King have went PDC and boy it shows. If any of the seeds managed to get knocked out then they should retire as the...
who will win?? i think barney :agree:
Dunno if there are many baseball fans on this board but the New York Yankees have snapped up first baseman Mark Teixeira on a $180 million contract - they have spent an obscene amount this winter on players (CC Sabathia for $161 million, AJ Burnett $82million) Absolutely crazy money that...
who does everyone fancy for the darts which starts tonight can john part regain his crown or will phil the power taylor get his 14th title
Andy has just beaten him for the 3rd straight time :thumbsup: but he tried hard to throw it away :agree: Had a cheeky wee tenner on Murray when he was 0-3 down in the 1st set at 9/4 :greengrin
SCOTTISH Olympic champion Chris Hoy is honoured with a knighthood in the New Year Honours List today – and his mother is made an MBE for her own achievements. :clapper::clapper::clapper::clapper:
This one's for Pat just won at 13/8. I backed it at 3/1 but then heard it was owned by Willie McCock so had mixed feelings about it as it was backed into 13/8 which meant McCock and his cronies had obviously lumped on so I would have taken just as much delight in it losing as winning.:agree: ...
Jings, 1 for 2. This is most entertaining :greengrin
This is on Sunday and is set to be one of the biggest carve ups of modern time surely. The bookies (who aint often wrong) have Rebecca Adlington as favourite at 10/11, Lewis Hamilton second favourite at 15/8 and Chris Hoy as third favourite at 3/1. Not being funny, but surely Hoy's...
Unofficially confirmed by Klitchskos manager. Could be the first really decent high profile heavyweight bout in years. Might be just a fight or 2 too early for Haye at this weight though.
Had the chance to watch some of this today. Can any Pool fans back me up when I say, is there a more detestable sports performer on the planet other than Earl Strickland? I have seen some of his antics before, he comes across as a total ****. I suppose it makes for good viewing but he is a...
ITV live from Nottingham...........if you haven't seen Carl Froch before - nothing snazzy or sugar ray leonard-ish just rugged aggression. I love watching him and reckopn he could go all the way. Can't guarantee he'll win , may look a bit static but boy can he bang...:take that
CHRIS HOY IS SPORT'S PERSONALITY OF THE YEAR :thumbsup:
Anyone watching this? Rahman's jsut standing on the roped letting Klitchso punch him! He's not laid a glove on him yet - he's clearly there for the payday and nothing more. The heavyweight division is absolutely dire (excluding Haye and the Klitchsko's).
Superb viewing http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_union/7745706.stm
Anybody watching? I'm watching Pittsburgh at Ottawa. 2-0 to the Sens so far :grr:
anyone watching this next weekend then? should be good and with amir khan fighting that night as well it should exiting stuff :agree:
Can anyone recomend a good boxing class for beginners? I'm looking to take up boxing, purely for the fitness side of things, there's lots of gyms and classes out there but not sure what one would be the best.

Who will win?
Who would you vote for?
in New zealand pool A New zealand France Tonga Americas 1 Asia 1
Could you pick an All-Star line from the Murrayfield and Edinburgh teams over the years. Some fine, fine players along the way. There are so many names but I'm guessing the likes of Chris Kelland and Tony Hand would feature in most people's choice. I'll have a think about this one, in the...
who do you think will this year? 1.) Hoy - 3 gold medals in a superb olympic games, 2.) Adlington - 2 golds in the swimming, another who had a great olympics 3.) Murray - a fantastic season, including getting to the US final. 4.) Hamilton - new F1 champion, youngest ever 5.) Calzaghe -...
local intrest here with appleby from just outside edinburgh on SS1 now
A bit of panicking in the Nottingham Panthers camp resulted in cutting goalie, Davis Parley this week after shipping a lot of rubber. There's some concern over the replacement choice of former Cap back stop, Michel Robinson in the ranks. Any views on Michel, Caps fans? A point of view from a...
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/cricket/england/latest_scorecard/default.stm Good Start! :greengrin
I see they are going to be going with gold, silver and bronze medals rather than a points system for next season :bitchy: Isn't a coincidence that under this system Massa would have won the title rather than Hamilton this year........rotten to the bloody core, why doesn't Ecclestone just wear a...
Kicks off on Saturday morning with England v Papua New Guinea at 10:00am on SKY. Anyone else going to be following it. Pretty much a stick on that Australia will win it, but Scotland have some decent NRL players in the team as well as Colin Calderwood from Wigan.
Thoughts folks? Going for Hatton to win this one. Malignaggi is a slippery customer who shouldn't be taken lightly but he has a poor knockout ratio and doesn't appear to have a knockout punch. Late stoppage or points win for Hatton I reckon.
The group stage was completed this afternoon and the placings were decided for the two semi finals tomorrow. After two withdrawals from the original line up (Rafael Nadal prior to the tournament and Andy Roddick after one match) Gilles Simon replaced Nadal and Radek Stepanek replaced Roddick and...
Was serving to win the 2nd set against Fed 5-2 up now in a tie break looks all over :boo hoo:
My mate has started using one of these betting hotlines, the information provided is unbelieveable, much detail goes into previous form on same and/or similar courses and into personal life as well such as if they have recently become a father, parents ill, it is amazing stuff. He gives 3...
