They think it's all Oval... 4:46pm on 20 Aug 2009
aggers is very cross that the i/d of the 'mystery' guest on saturday has been 'revealed'. sorry adam, i guess that means he doesn't read your blog... :-(
They think it's all Oval... 3:02pm on 18 Aug 2009

TMS is a pretty broad church, i like the mix, and aggers in particular is superb, i doubt 5 per cent of listeners would agree with kafkafil that he is outdated... but the few people who just don't 'get it' should get their cricket news from elsewhere and probably shouldn't be on this blog...

yes a shame for blowers to miss this one, i know he's been at the edinburgh fest - perhaps these were the 'other commitments'... no mention from adam about what boycs is up to, i know he had a spat with hayden but thought this had blown over?

my only small aggers criticism is that his end-of-play articles don't permit comments. i know there were hundreds each day, but surely that's a sign of a successful blog? full marks adam for actually reading and occasionally responding to comments, that's what it's all about...
Lily for Leeds? 12:14pm on 06 Aug 2009
adam

if you could spell 'confectionery stall' then you might have a greater chance of finding it... ;-)

i'm 'bothered' about getting lily allen on tms, but it would take more than that for me to turn off...

T
De Villiers: Misunderstood or liability? 07:38am on 03 Jul 2009 i like the way someone writes 'end of story' at the conclusion of their first line and then prattles on for paragraph after paragraph.

i don't know pdv, never met him, never mind been coached by him. but from all the evidence available so far, he's an utter clown, and as soon as SA lose a few games he'll be through the door. end of story.
Have officials turned a blind eye to Burger? 4:16pm on 01 Jul 2009
thanks for the welsh input...

in other shock musical news:

* blue moon revealed not to have been written in the moss side area of manchester
* cornish and welsh fans quarrel over the origins of 'oggy oggy oggy', but agree it shouldn't be permitted for use by wasps' fans
* cult '80s warwickshire ccc song 'doing the gladstone small' revealed to have originally been about an area in south london
* bear heads into woods humming to himself and clutching roll of toilet paper
* bill beaumont refutes claims he wrote 'swing low' in the bath while at twickenham while celebrating the 9-8 win over wales in 1980 (who remembers 'schalk' ringer?!)
Have officials turned a blind eye to Burger? 3:00pm on 01 Jul 2009
playingadvantage : agree with you about lions' fans who see things through their national blinkers. i'm also happy to sing cwn rhondda on a lions tour - i did in oz in '01, altho i also heard plenty of jeering celts when english fans had the temerity to air 'swing low'. they hate it, i know, but i don't like 'flower of scotland' but i'll 'take one for the team' for a good cause like the lions...

one of the most outspoken british journalists, stephen jones, has picked up on the 'lack of credit' angle from SA as phil-bok has banged on about here in 47 of his 51 postings, and addressed it in his daily 'rolling maul' email...

phil-bok. at least we agree on PdV

but continually criticising lions' fans objections to some of the officiating and the way SA played the game, and calling us whingers is disrespectful. most of our comments are legitimate. we narrowly lost a big game and we have every right to discuss everything that happened for a few days afterwards, especially on a british blog.

are you saying that after the final whistle blows in a game, supporters of the losing team shouldn't be able to vent a bit of frustration, express their opinions etc? (by writing on a blog, or discussing it over a pint, rather than kicking seven bells out of each other as might happen in football) this would be a pretty lame site if all we did after the game was criticise our own team (for all their faults - see above) and offer facile congratulations to the winners...

well done on the series win. i'm not trying to take it away from you, but that doesn't mean i'm not entitled to chew over the key incidents for a few days afterwards... and this doesn't mean i don't acknowledge the part the lions played in their own downfall (failure to register points at key stages in durban, poor selection and use of bench at loftus, o'gara's rush-of-blood, o'driscoll getting injured in an over-physical challenge, to name but a few) as well as the contribution of the officials and the opposition...

"no saffer or springbok supporter is supporting him [burger] or what he did" - sadly that's not the case. the clown who coaches your team was clearly supporting him and using the tired old 'contact sport' defence, up until his belated and all-too-insincere retraction.

and playing 15 against 14 is "not fair" you say? so red cards shouldn't be issued in any circumstances, certainly in the first hour of a game, because the resulting imbalance in the numbers would be "not fair"? do you want to take a little while to think about that comment some more?
Lions left to lick wounds after epic failure 10:08am on 29 Jun 2009
england2003 - how was transformers 2? did it transform you, or are you still a prize fool?

everyone else: don't rise to the guy, clearly not worth it.

22. SuperGedwards9 : i assume you posted on here, twice, and the same piece on the other blog, because you wanted people to read your input. so KEEP IT BRIEF ALREADY!
