@hockeyreporter3 @MemEnglandhokey @EnglandHockey I've raised this with EH before. Surely it's just common sense to use byes in the early stages of a competition (only) until you get down to 16, 32, 64, 128 etc teams, then it's a straight forward knockout competition.

@MidsHockeyGoss Allowed 'as a last resort' but there are conditions. This is from the Midlands Hockey regulations:

@7Forsyth Excellent - well done!
@GBHockey - hope you saw this too.

@russellbutt @Alibleach1 @hockeyaction @CalumGiles I would respectfully disagree: Alan has played 189 international matches and has scored 86 goals. Sam Ward's goals-per-match ratio is slightly better (72 goals in 135 matches), but he is also a short corner specialist. No one else comes close to either in the current set-up.

The commentators keep saying 'the sun is a nightmare', but who would build a pitch on which top-class hockey will be played oriented east-west? #eurohockey2021

[Nick 'Fugly' Evans @Fugly22]

@CalumGiles No stats, but I always call for runners to 'stay front stick', so I have the best chance of seeing the shot. It also reduces the chances of them getting injured. If they do get in the way, it's often another corner anyway!

@CalumGiles @RitualHockey @EnglandHockey @GBHockey You were a pioneer back then - now every Tom, Dick and Harry does it!

@ShelaghFogarty Never (ever) such problems with First Direct - immediate connection every time.

@RevolutApp OK, now following...

@RevolutApp How long does it take for compliance checks to be completed on a new Revolut account? My initial top-up payments have been reverted. Thank you.

@chrisnash23 @TheBarmyArmy Saw England V Pakistan there in WC2003, when a certain James Anderson was breaking through and Shoaib Akhtar was bowling at 100 mph. Fabulous venue. PS looking forward to seeing you back at CFR.

@kjackson1984 Ah, your tax code may have changed, as it's based on your taxable benefits. Your tax band is driven by the amount you earn (higher rate kicks in at about 50K). Sounds like a result anyway!

@Votedoesntcount @piersmorgan Someone at CDC needs to fix their spreadsheet - 94.6% survival means 5.4% fatality, not 0.054%!

@trebor_guk @brianmoore666 It was on 8th March this year.

[Nick 'Fugly' Evans @Fugly22]

@kjackson1984 @GWRHelp I feel your pain - I've been there all too many times...

[Nick 'Fugly' Evans @Fugly22]

@kjackson1984 @GWRHelp Ah sorry, I misunderstood...

[Nick 'Fugly' Evans @Fugly22]

@kjackson1984 @GWRHelp "If you're travelling with a number of different train companies, you should make your claim to the company on whose train you were delayed. You should also make sure that you leave enough time to make connections in normal circumstances..."

[Nick 'Fugly' Evans @Fugly22]

@kjackson1984 @GWRHelp Are you sure? I've always claimed if actual arrival time was 15 or minutes later than scheduled arrival time, even with a change of train/supplier.
