Lancs are the champions of divison 2!!!

Friday, September 23

I've always said ...

that the CDO is a right cult ;-)

Great win for the "Dream Team" Whites last night; it was a tough game for the first 45 minutes, and we were indebted to both clinical finishing and some top keeping from Ashley in particular for putting us about 5 up with a quarter to go - and then one or two of the RagTags lost it a bit and we ended up cruising it.

Some very good football played by both sides and some terrific team goals!

And a quality bit where Ash got slagged off by Scoop for losing his man!

cult hero

after scoring the og he got a great response from
the fans and as he was a bit unlucky to be sent off
the media think he's going to be a cult hero with the
fans.................... does that mean cdo if you get a golden
duck and drop 3 catches first game up next season we
may offer you the same status?

Yorkshire lad

another fantastic achievement by a 'son of yorkshire' - Jonathon Woodgate's 1st appearance for RM 17 for months. He came disguised as a spaniard (greasy hair, dishevelled), scored a beautiful OG and was sent off - only for his team to then play brilliant football with 10 - should keep to what he knows best (race relations in Leeds).

and staying there!

Lunch scores ...

Northamptonshire 255 - 3
Yorkshire 177 all out

Lancashire 178 - 8
Leicestershire 165 all out

Meanwhile John Crawley is 298 not out!

top of the league

since lancs & yorks are battling it out for the 2nd
division title can anyone update me on the yorks
score?

Come on Donny!

Lancashire! You boys took another roses beating - oh to be a fly on the wall for SP's 'warm down'. 'Man' City - oh dear Cotters......

Huff and puff

Forget all this mindless banter, can we cut to a more pressing issue - can we put a limiter on the number of miles that have to be run in pursuit of Young Jedi? He doesn't tire and he runs about like a bloomin headless chicken from first minute to last. I realise the issue here is that we're not as fit as he is, but DAMMIT we are older and should be treated with some respect!! I think he needs to be issued with a tracking device and the rest of us with some artificial limbs that keep us going!

ho ho

mr cotters please don't criticise yourself especially
when i can do it for you, seriously thought you played
very well for the whites & scored some crackers -
unfortunately now you are just another rag to kick!

He he

Its only a bit of friendly banter, I know I'm rubbish and so does everyone else so if a do anything good its a bonus!

oh dear, Cotters....

Cotters - don't over promise and under deliver!

Game On!

Game on flash, game on!!

Tuesday, September 20

offence taken

cotters, will remember that on thursday night,
cdo i will be on my jollies but will speak to pearcy -
he wastes his money watching city so i'm sure he
won't mind throwing a few quid our way!

good speech

well put cotters.
Can someone have a word with Pearcy ref Oct 1st and race night - also - Ash? Chadders is coming....

Back at home!

Back with the rag tags i feel much better! No offence to the whites but once a rag tag always a rag tag.

Cotters is back!

Nope, just 1

Yorkshiremen NOT Yorkshire players - Vaughan is from the Red Rose!

er how many?

How many yorkshire players in the England team? Two surley! Hoggard and Vaughan or have I missed something?

Tykes are Backward!

Think that's what you meant, KC!

LOL. how many Yorkshiremen in the England team? ;-) ONE!

Tykes are back

Yorkshire promoted to Div one - a strong Yorkshire = (all together now) a strong England (& Wales....).

20/20

Ok you can count me in

20/20

Anyone for the 23rd? see previous blog

Monday, September 12

and I repeat ...

Smash it, kev!

oh my god!

there is just no hiding from this game - its going to the wire!!!!!

can't watch, must watch

this isn't sport its excruciating torture

Limp!?

The way Pietersen's playing, you'd think we had 5 specialist batsmen left. Is it right to take them on and put distance between us, or should he play for time? Hmm! Smash it, Kev!!!

Come on England, don't blow it now!

come on England!

don't just limp through - smash 300 and take it by the throat!

Woodbank stay up

Woodbank will also stay up as Rochdaliens 3rds have won the 4th division

YES!!!

Fantastic!!! Cant wait for next season :)

Great night out, How bad was Bobby by the end of the night?

jolly rogered

thats great news!!!! Well done the 2's!!!
Best moments of Saturday:
Hitting a couple of fours
Bobby Loomba
Nelly (butcher's dog)
Swapping chillies with Nick Hud
Scott "Egg and Chips" Parkinson
Worst moments of Sunday:
Waking up
Realising my hat had a lighting up feature
Children being cheerful
Wife asking for earrings

Sunday, September 11

safety is upon us.

just got back from woodbank where they galantly fielded for forty five overs, to keep who ever their opponents were (if it was cheetham hill as it said in the fixtures then i didn't recognise any of them) to a low total of 240. Woodbank then came out fighting and smashed 42 for 10 wickets.
Hopefully Rochdalians will win the fourth division though as woodbank is always a nice ground to visit and there team is made up of some jolly decent chaps! Which cannot be said for all teams!

Abbers

You owe me £10!!!

who could possibly forget...

The Lord Flasheart!!! (Blackadder II)
"She's got a tongue like an eel and likes the taste of a man's tonsils"

I shall, unfortunately, be unavailable for anything this weekend.
Indeed, I have texted Scott to withdraw from footy this week as my heel (where I heroically stopped a ball at Robbies t'other week - waste of time that was - should have let it go for 4 like I usually do) is bloody killing after last weeks effort and it's a job trying to keep my weight off of it.

I have got one!!!

Hi guy's, How did the 1st go on at weekend? I wish I could be there to go out with you on Saturday because I have got a Pittsburgh Pirates shirt. Have a good one My Challange is seeing you are going as Pirates someone should be on shots of Rum in every bar, My candidate would be Scunners in my absence( I guess I'll get the mandatory none attendance fine )!!!!!

you old see dog

get your pirate costumes sorted now! You band of lilly-livered, milk-swigging land-lubbers!!! I wager you will either walk the plank or get a 'cat-o-nine tails' if you turn up not dressed for high-jinks on the hign seas.......

oh that treasure!

time is ticking (in the crocodile's mouth!) on Pirate outfits - there is to be a special prize for best outfit this year - so no cop-out eye patch and cutlass combos please.
Did the rag tags really win - you make an ex RT very proud....

Thursday, September 1

no pressure...

Just to remind all rag tags - we won the first game last season (yes, whites, that means that we scored more than you did) - what treasure do you smell dicky? - have you won bonus again?

Heads and Shoulders, Knees and Toes ...

... just four of my body parts that Nick H will no doubt be smacking his elbows into tonight! Can't wait for the first installment of footy fever, coming live and unleashed from Castlebrook this very night. Bring it on!

COME ON YOU WHITES!
