Alan Edgar (Eggy1948)

Are you sober yet? There is a slight possibility England might beat Croatia and then a more likely result will be getting hammered in the final - Belgium or France. England's journey in the world cup :- England ranked 12th by FIFA - Tunisia ranked 21st. - Panamar ranked 55th - Belgium, 1st team ranked 3rd - there 2nd team beat our mixed 1st & 2nd team. Columbia ranked 16th - penalties Sweden ranked 24th. Next opponents - Croatia ranked 20th (who went to penalties to beat Russia ranked 70th). If we get through the semi final then Belgium, ranked 3rd, or France ranked 7th. I know there are always games that go the underdogs way but I think England, if they stick with the same starting 11 as they did last match, will now be defending more than anything else. Unless they substitute Jordan Henderson (defensive midfield), Dele Alli (attacking [supposedly] midfield) & Raheem Stirling (attacking midfield) with a defensive midfielder that pick out a forward with a pass, and two attacking midfielders that an actually get passed the opposition, with the ball!

Now slipped back to 4th

Whitley Memorial currently 3rd :- https://terracyclewinaplayground.co.uk/

I assume @Andy Millne will 'refresh' the Bedlington Timeline held on this site but is it @johndawsonjune1955 that actually does the updates?

Double or quits? I'm feeling generous! Round that up to 5p.

Double or quits?

Well I'm with you ♀️ and I don't like the ball, or the hair cuts, either. I think the Swiss keeper's 40 denier tights are way to evocative. I hope it doesn't go to penalties

I have no idea - Ave Wgt - to me would be Average Weight but that doesn't fit. Link to the site where I got the table from is https://www.fifa.com/fifa-world-ranking/ranking-table/men/index.html

The above, found whilst 'Silver Surfing' by Billy Embleton, has been posted on the Bedlington remembered Facebook group. We don't have any info other that what is printed on the document. Just to ensure that if anyone uses the 'Search' facility looking for info that this document may hold here are some phrases from the document ; Mary Ann Short - Golden Wedding 1851 - 1901 & .... we cannot refrain from mentioning your gallan effort in trying to rescue two hundred and four brothers entombed in the Hartley pit and it ministers to our pride to feel that "John Short" is written on the scroll of heros.......................... --------------------------------- I did have a Google of the Hartley pit disaster but I can't find any reference, from that Google, of John and Mary Short.

Hearty congratulations from the management.
