@CFC_Independent The earliest one I've got is Autumn 1990 (issue 19), think the one you're after must be earlier as nothing in 19/20/21 - sorry!

[Mike Thomas @mikethomas365]

@CFC_Independent I've got a box full from around that time - will check tonight.

Wondering why the VAR did not step in to give South Africa a corner at the end of the first half? #MEXRSA

@Oche180 @DiamondXDraws @PDCEurope Was stood behind him in the queue for 2 1/2hrs at passports in Brussels a couple of weeks ago. No wonder he's pissed off.

@CliveCott great news Clive

@MikeEckley4 If it's Manchester, they are doing work on one of the car parks and bigger cars aren't allowed in. I only found out at the last minute and had to cancel and rebook a diff multi storey

Treasury warned by DCMS about ineffectiveness of plan to exempt racing from betting duty increases, documents reveal https://t.co/t3aInDLP58

@VaughanLewis1 Maybe, but this pimple will soon be acne.

How close is this to whats about to happen without revolution and a complete restructuring of the sport?

The budget seems to say that "online betting on non-UK horse racing" is taxed at 25% - presuming that means Irish racing cops it as well . Where do Downpatrick and Down Royal fit in?

@longlivethepast Fanzines!

[Mike Thomas @mikethomas365]

@ChrisPoole___ or....one gets an unfair 10 length advantage at the start. You then have to let the race play out to see if the disadvantaged horse still wins. If it doesn't, race subsequently gets voided. Other horse can't win but you don't know that until it's won ???

[Mike Thomas @mikethomas365]

@MikeEckley4 @Dan1clark Mick Walsh justice payouts 👍

[Mike Thomas @mikethomas365]

This new BHA NR rule - RP article says "a horse can't be a NR if it wins" which sounds daft but presumably means that horse was disadvantaged at the start. That means decision on NR or not is made after race - so punters don't know their place terms while watching the race??

[Mike Thomas @mikethomas365]

@G1nrummy be even more experience when we're expected to pay 1/4 1,2 and then a discretionary 1/5 1,2,3 on the same race!!

[Mike Thomas @mikethomas365]

@G1nrummy or actually asked the bookies, which they didn't do either.

[Mike Thomas @mikethomas365]

@stevenctilley @nickgoff79 cheering on your each way bet into 3rd in an 8 runner race and then discovering you've done your cash as a late NR isn't great for anyone though.

[Mike Thomas @mikethomas365]

@marmobet why you've got Oman cricket on when the Maltese Prem is being streamed I'll never know...

[Mike Thomas @mikethomas365]

@nickgoff79 and what sort of punter you make combined I have no idea....
