Quality banter you 2! Far to sophisticated for most.
Y are the rest of my team so quiet??? Prob all died of shock after last night LOL FBI.. I we do go up do you recken Div1 wuldnt be happy with our venue? I didint used think it was that bad but that was prob coz of when we were in the lower divisions our place wasnt 2 bad compared to some others. Although nearly all tables in this div have plenty of room. If we knocked down the pillar we'd all be ubder rubble unfortunately. Wonder if it'll ause any probs. Plus we not up yet anyway. Not sure if Grahams prediction is right, whether they can handle pressure or not. The uni are v competitive though and will be v phokusd (lol)

PAR - How many 12-0's have there been this season in any league ![???](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/huh.png) It is almost impossible surely. No 12-0's at all this season (only 4 11-1's so far to), although there has been a few of them since we started the 12 game format. I think the 1st season that we tried it in the Prem, KSR (A) had a 24-0 against Wagon & Horses over the 2 matches. They dropped out of the league after that!

while the offer of a tin of alphabetti spaghetti is very tempting (i could make that last for a week!), i'm afraid we wont be throwing the match against the portland! i don't know what the food is like at the Portland, but the Cricketers definately serve Div 1 standard grub

I think you will find that The Portland provides arguably the best food in the division.
Certainly better than the curly sandwiches and deep fried nonsense found in some establishments.
We look forward to our match.
I notice you lads sure like drink. Do I need to ask the land lady to get more beer ordered?

What a match!!!! We managed to pull a great result out of the bag there and complete the double over the rathmore. Shame your elderly player didn't put up much of a fight and if he was even half decent he probably would of beaten Rufus but we had our own weak player in Martin who i thought was poor at best to be fair. Promtion still a possibilty its a bit of a worry seeing uni boys recent results but hopefully they'll finish strongly so we can sneak back into the promotion places!!

I see the doctors post about the jenny wren has been deleted aswell. It seems its ok to be sworn at, called gay, heckled for asking for a ref to be present, accused of cheating(when playing a professional foul) and made to feel as uncomfortable as possible, but if you moan about it on the forum then that is unacceptable

Reckon you are right to air a grievance and if the forum post from the doctor was deleted then that totally negates the point of any open forum. I'm sure the Doctor was elequant and didnt bother swearing or be abusive. However when we played there (Cricketers) it was pretty rowdy but its best to not allow that to allow yourselves to be intimidated in a pub like that (no offence Jenny) . Having said that there are guidelines within the constitution regarding behaviour and maybe that should be looked at that rather than accept it as a hazard when visiting a minority few pubs. It sounds like Portland got worse than most especially with the cheat chants that must have been from the audience who didnt know about world rules. You above them Portland in more ways than 1. All the best :-)

Most kind, Sir. There is banter and rowdiness but, there is also a pervading sense of threat that prevents the rules being applied properly or, in fact, any discussion of the rules to be had at all.
In one occasion, one of our team asked if a ref could be provided standing by the table and not looking through the window whilst having a fag outside. For this, our player was called anal and then barracked for the remainder of his visit.
Not in the spirit of the game.

And it was their captain that was the instigator of the 'Cheat' chants!

Very lucky win for us on Thursday, but we'll take it at this stage of the season... we were 2-0, 3-1 and 5-3 down, but bounced back to win the last four with a lot of luck in the final frame! Portland strong favourites, but at least we've taken it to the last game of the season... Who knows, perhaps they'll promote the top 3 if we're lucky... would be good to continue this battle with them next season... ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Graham - did John win both again on Thursday? Cieran lost 1, so he's not there yet...

John was so drunk he couldn't see the table by the time his second frame came and lost woefully. Stupid attitude as he'd won his first frame and has had a great season. Silly boy.

Result of rearranged match last night,Rathmore 7-5 K.S.R. That unfortunately(for the K.S.R) means they are relegated!They made a real fight of it,coming from 3-0 down to draw 5-5 after 10.Good bunch of lads playing in the right spirit,though they did have to use a last minute stand-in.Have to admit,I won't miss having to play at their place! ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)
