unapologetic pedant

Dreadful pedestrian last set after they took the lead. No way to close out a game. Just handed York field position.

So it's DIY score-lines in York? The petulant accounting still doesn't add up. Final score was 20-16. And you're also wrong about the call. Liv Gale lost it cold, after the tackle was complete. Camera angle from behind the goal showed it clearly.

This is an observation rather than a gripe - Thought the ref should have called more ruck infringements in the first half. When defences are too good, we need a quicker ruck. Can understand why refs let things go, but the consequence of leniency is defenders start feeling entitled to slow it down even when they lose the tackle and floor. Saw the difference, second half.

Not according to my abacus.

Best to take one's leave section by section. I've flounced off Politics and Australian. Both vintage displays.

That was noticeable last night. Likely be more noticeable against the big 3. Fair assessment. Unfortunately. Anna Davies gets better. Genuine strike player.

Who's the other one?

Yep, I posted something about her (wildly off-topic ) in the Hull KR Ground thread. What I meant was I don't recall seeing her play. Although I will have, in the Tarsha Gale final against the Dragons.

Full-time Wigan 18 Barrow 4, Leeds 66 Huddersfield 4

There are mismatches between top-half teams and bottom-half teams in every division in every sport. In RL, as we know, disparities are cruelly magnified on the scoreboard. Early signs are that Huddersfield haven't closed the gap on the big three. Wait and see with Wigan. Wire are the big disappointment. Over five years after they formed a women's team it's clear the club are not yet prepared to do what's necessary to take them to the next level. If this year the women's team of a club the size of York put 70/80 points on the women's team of a club the size of Warrington, certain blokes should be feeling rather embarrassed.

Leeds predictably running away with it against Huddersfield. It was 0-0 at half-time Wigan v Barrow. Home side on top second half. Rease Casey is in the Wigan starting 13. Don't know too much about her, but the pedigree indicates she should be a major addition.

Brilliant John Barry theme. Another trip on the Moog Modular after On Her Majesty's Secret Service.

Didn't know it was still going. Says on Wiki that The Now Show was regarded as a successor to The Mary Whitehouse Experience. I saw it as the replacement for Week Ending. Augmented with traditional Home Service comedy-show elements. Had plenty of good moments. Never the unchecked belch of Leftist propaganda that The News Quiz became. Although any young comedians given a slot were careful to pay their conformist dues. Lest they go on the blacklist and lose work on the circuit.

The proportions in this collage make Kenneth Cope look like a potential Hai Karate victim. Behold the trauma of puny blokes as Valerie looms large. Breach of human rights, cruel and unusual punishment. Where do I sign up?

Halfway through Maelstrom. The lead actress Tusse Silberg is Swedish. Not a trace of an accent. Looks and sounds every inch the archetypal middle-class metropolitan Englishwoman. Born in 1931. Her character Catherine was born in 1955. Quite a gap. Wondering if the reason Catherine isn't depicted as older is related to the plot. The dolls are bringing back memories of Hamble from Play School.
