A very merry x'mas and a great new year to all the BDP family and a successful year to the Bulldogs.

Exactly, run outs and stumpings are treated differently, but LBWs and snicks etc can be just as difficult to adjudicate

Either way. All it takes is to review a tv replay. Takes 5 seconds.
The last 2 errors are true howlers. Both would have been reversed with first view of a replay. 
They do it on run-outs so just do it on the field.

No captains.  The umpires are the decision makers and should use whatever is available to get the correct decision.  One failed challenge does not cleanse a subsequent howler.

Another howler in the BBL.....
They dont need the expensive DRS system.
They just need 1 captain's challenge and replay. 

I agree. Talking about soccer is like talking about your brother sleeping with your male cousin. Watching it is even worse. I need a beer

More importantly..... has Tolman made the top 30 at the Sharks? 

I want to know if I should put money on them for the spoon or not....

Any thoughts on the weekend EPL action?

Perhaps hoping Covid will shut it down? A.

Or do you want Villi and I to update you? B.

vote A. Or B. 😁

Pardon me!

Ok.....I'll ask Trump instead.

Just stop it...

Lol. They probably wore red to throw me off in the hope I dont notice and barrack for the other team!

I have no idea why they'd go red like that. I've seen the richer clubs like Liverpool & ManU change from their usual red to white or black etc before. I was thinking it's an away thing or to stop colours clashing with similar looking teams, but I don't know. When you said QP changed to red for home games it makes it a mystery.

As for why QP aren't winning games & relegated from EPL, I have my suspicions....  :)

I really think it was a poor decision in the case of the man (now convicted of manslaughter of a violent intruder on drugs with a replica pistol they did not know was not real). To even bring it to trial could be even considered an affront to many people, myself included. I hope the judge suspends the sentence but probably won't. It flies i the face of multiple police shootings in which deadly force was used when shooting to bring the perpetrator down could have been an option. 

Blue and white horizontal hoops is still their traditional strip, and the ground is a sea of blue and white, but they came up with a red one for quite afew games this year - even at home. 

Now if only they can win a game.....

I remember them as blue & white, just haven't seen them lately. No idea why they'd change to red this year. That's an awful eyesore. Surely they didn't re-paint their homeground red as well?

They've been sporting an unusual full red kit this year.....you almost think its Liverpool until you notice them conceding goals every 30mins...

Would be a handy signing for 2021. Maybe Benji is not out of the question yet either.

They wear blue & white, that's the main thing. 

Lol. If you saw the area around Loftus Rd, you couldnt imagine anything further from the Eastern Suburbs equivalent....!

Queens Palace Raiders also known as The Crown Jewel Theives .... ?

I think Marki tipped the Hammers to beat Chelsea.

A few injuries, and players out of form, and a middle rung side comes back to the field.

The top sides have top class replacements at all times.

Finishing in the middle is better than finishing at the bottom, building a top side can take time.

Are they a sister club to the Rorters?

Sorry mate, QP not CP, got it...

What.... really?

I was going to throw a lazy $100 on Villa to win by 13+

Hey!
I go for QPR not Palace....

A clue can be found in the name - The Mock, not just any Mock, the Ultimate Mock.

I'm not sure what to make of the next round. I dare not think about it. AV are up against Crystal Palace - The Mock's team. 

Anyone know if Des is still the Indian batting coach?

Personally I'm waiting for our resident soccer expert Dman to privide an update on all games wordwide.
His knowledge of Korean soccer is a highlight.

Hahaha.... I’m right here BN!!

If only they’d converted one of their 28 chances against Burnley the other day & won rather than draw, Villa would be in the top 6 with a game in hand. Shouldn’t be greedy, after last season’s nail biting finish avoiding relegation, Villa are on fire & continue to get better with each game!!!
