Dello, Fromage, whoever:

Is it possible to use the FB 'widget' thingy at top right to link to something useful, like the County Cricket; rather than the IPL bullsh!t, in which I (and I suspect most of us) have absolutely zero interest?

I reckon you could link to last year's IPL scores and no-one would notice for a week ...

What about a link to a running popularity poll on Hilditch and Nielsen?

Would anyone vote in their favour?

That would be the point of interest. (*points*)

I would say the weight of Pom votes on a Pom site might just swing it.

Hello lardbucket

In early discussions Dello indicated a preference for keeping this particular score box, as it fits neatly as a widget (Dello toiled for some time to set it up). V-cricket does not seem to cover County Cricket but has chosen to cover the IPL. So if a change is to be made I would like Dello's agreement. I'm not sure there is a site that has live County scores AND live international scores, and international games will always be given preference on this forum.

I shall await Dello's input. He is still the owner (as founder) of the site.

Regards

Fromage

Totally agree with Lardy. Would rather follow County Cricket than the farce that is IPL.

If we can't have CC then how about the trugo results?

Or the farnarkeling....

How's the Tassie spelunking championships going?

You'll have to tell me.

Meh, it's cricket, isn't it? It's on daily. Isn't it? How else am I supposed to find out who won today's match in the IPL? Watch it? With those godawful presenters our side? With the woeful sensationalist commentary and jingoistic graphics and stats that side? Not f*cking likely, you qunts.

Some, even many, possibly most, would say 'no, not really.'

It's leather on willow or something similar enough anyhow. It's just that one's sensibilities get raped in-between each and every ball.

You could follow the fun on Cricinfo. More excitement every time the page refreshes!

I'm lazy, why not just come on here and look in the top right-hand corner?

You have to read the ball by ball commentary to fully appreciate the subtleties of the game.

Well, admittedly I've had a few peeps at cricinfo, they ball-by-ball is even worse than the vocal commentary, I think they've been given some sort of 'artistic licence'... to you and I that probably means "Oh-my-word-what-a-total-and-utter-f*cking-twat-licence".

Okay. So you are actually asking for some links to a few quality Ultimate Surrender "bouts"?

I've got them all no doubt!

Frog "Of The Water" is immovable on this one.

Besides, he explained why.
