FAO alf ---State of Origin

[The Bedlington Terrier]

Apologies I thought all of this drivel could only be happening in Australia.

The Rugby Football League administer the Rugby Football League Challenge Cup.

Tier 5 is similar to the FA Cup, it has preliminary qualifying rounds prior to Championship and Super League coming into the competition.

The Super League also has the Magic Weekend which is taking place at Everton football club early in July and this all builds up to the Grand Final of the Super League in October.

And I thought the EPL/FA/EFL malarkey was contorted and convoluted.

I shall have a look Alf, I keep trying but it hasn't grabbed me yet.

Have a look at Miami Matrix in the 3.30 at Chester Alf, the price has gone, I got 14s earlier, but if you can get 10s it's still overpriced imo.

Sinky, your comment above reminded me of when we played Union at Accy Grammar and went off down the Wigan area to play another school. When we arrived, they told us that they only played League and we had to adjust and try to play League. We got absolutely walloped but I enjoyed that version of the game much more than Union and followed it closely from that day. Were you playing in that match ---I can't remember many from the team apart from those of us who also played football for the school.

Don't know if it was the same game or not Sub, but I remember going to play a school in the Wigan area and we did get walloped in every sense, they were rough lads. I don't remember playing League, I thought we played Union, but it's a very long time ago and my memory could be faulty or it could have been a different visit. The Haydock twins were in the team, Ken Dean and Peter Metcalfe are two other names I remember.

I am fairly certain that that was the game because we were totally lost off, having never played League at all. Big Sam said that we might as well play because we had travelled. I remember the Haydock twins and Roger Boydell (?), Alan Lofthouse and Bishop {?} ---it was a long time ago.

What is?? Surely you didn't want those cheating southern cnuts to win BT. If so you are sad 😔

That Alfie was a pretty awesome football match to watch. I will always want an English team to win a European Cup Final but what a couple of truly awfully bad penalties to lose such a wonderful game. UTC#

BT, that was a terrible game of football to watch. Arsenal never tried to win the match, in fact, if that had been the Clarets playing, you would all have been up in arms about their tactics.

Best team on the field were the officials who switched on to Arsenal's time wasting and the dark arts of both teams. I loved it when he blew for half time when Arsenal took too long over the corner. The booking early in the second half for the time it was taking to take a throw in was also a good decsion and the Arsenal appeal for the penalty was a first class decision because it was the Arsenal player who held the arm and dragged down the PSG player.
The team who went out to win the game did win in the end so justice done, however, it was far from an entertaining game.

One of the worst matches I've seen,Arsenal are worse than Burnley. If you thought that was a good game you need specsavers BT.🙃
