Teacher and avid sports fan trying to deal with being permanently disappointed with the world while juggling marking and a pathological desire to watch sport

Visit to Clifford's Tower as part of our Y10 residential in York. Somehow one of the boys convinced his more gullible mate it was built by Clifford the Big Red Dog. Questioning a lot of decisions right now.

@PaulAndo1987 I think you could make arguments that Hunt and possibly Liddell should be top 5 easily but just played too long ago.

@CricketTragic5 When Smith got out I think he was playing the way he had to.

@RootFan66 The acceptance of imperfection and the use of challenges have allowed the system to work better than in other sports. Baffled when anyone suggests changing it

[Mikey P @Busimagic]

@PeteFiutak They have tested removing it multiple times. Goals plummet and the games were dull

@humphriezz Moving from Sussex to Essex was an eye opener in this regard. Essex people will talk to anyone.

@thosethatcan Sadly we haven't come up with a better answer. It definitely isn’t coursework in its current form.

@devydeets Still a novice at C2C. Was pleased to get Wilson in the 6th. Glad to have some confirmation.

@LucyGoBag We somehow manage to send all of year 10 and 12 put at the same time for 2 weeks. Monumental effort from the staff involved

@ATruth52 @_Zeets Asia I would agree 100%
Africa would probably region dependent

[Mikey P @Busimagic]

@ATruth52 @_Zeets People watch the Olympics. Overwhelming in the UK at least they watch 1. British athletes in any sport. 2. Athletics 3. Gymnastics. I reckon archery gets similar viewing figures to non-medal basket games. No one can name the best archers in the world

[Mikey P @Busimagic]

@ATruth52 @_Zeets More likely to yes. Music infiltrates more than sport into wider pop culture.

[Mikey P @Busimagic]

@ATruth52 @_Zeets They are right. Ask a non basketball fan in Europe to name NBA players and Klay will not come up for many. Even Steph's cut through is less impressive than you would imagine

[Mikey P @Busimagic]

@theblockspot This is exactly the same in every sport. Hugely talented 18 year olds do not always develop the way that we hoped they would.

[Mikey P @Busimagic]

@NoContextCounty I think KP in his ideological stance forgets that he was in a vastly different stage of his career when he went to the IPL. An established international might well gain more from watching the best a 22 year old with less than 30 FC games might well be different

@TegoSigel The difficult conversation may be that the best two players are both keepers...

@jackfrost6272 @jimhamilton4 Earl and Dan are later post charges.
Vunipolas came through at Bristol and Wasps. Goode wasn't an England regular. Forgot about Isiekwe

[Mikey P @Busimagic]

@jackfrost6272 @jimhamilton4 I mean they brought through 3/4 England regulars at that time? Bought in a bunch over the cap.

@markgoldbridge Van der Sar also got benched and played for an extended time at Fulham. Not convinced he is truly the original ball playing GK in the modern era either.
