She'd have your guts for garters.

To wile away the time while you're laid up, if you enjoy the Stieg Ln novels, why not try Jo Nesbo?

Aye, they're quite good.

& they're quite long so would keep him occupied & off here for some time.
Just don't mention missed tackles or midget porn.

Finished the superb Millenium trilogy so will give Nesbo a go Old Fella. Thanks for the recommendation.

Indeed they did in terms of quantity.



Sure. Honestly I've no idea bar the one I've highlighted (to date the only missed Buderus tackle anyone has specified) which I assume also accounts for one miss each for Lauitiiti and Watkins if you include the following play.




Shame I had such high hopes for this diversion (I estimated 12 pages as a minimum) what am I going to do now.



Sweet. How did you know I watch games with a pen and paper (A4 sized notepad actually)

But not to record, missed tackles, maybe that's one for the future now the government has U-turned on the forest sell off. More usually it's try assists, knock ons, forward passes, penalties conceded, failed offloads (Buderus had one of those in the 10th minute you'll recall) and monumental, game changing brain-farts.

as far as i can recall nobody has a problem with watkins missed tackles. Its the stupid, blind offloads people don't like him doing

Stick with it, you may find the 1st one "Redbreast" hard going initially, I did, but I persevered & have found them all increasingly enjoyable.
I am just finishing the most recent one on the boss's Kindle.
Have you tried Wallender (not in the strict legal sense you understand)? Are they worth reading, or the printed version of the Killing which has just been on BBC4?

Wallender: Henning Mankell
Worth a read. Found them slow and a bit dark. For a lighter read I would go for Ian Rankin or Ian Banks' The Crow Road (good read).

Agree they are worth a go but I found them quite slow going.
Michael connelly is a good author

What the beejeejus has any of this got to do with Matt Diskin, I mean Danny Buderus.

16 errors "this" week even worse than "last" week

better do better on sunday!

I'm not particularly into b British crime writers (Rankin) but have read all of Ian Banks non-sci-fi stuff.
I can't stand sci-fi or fantasy fiction.

i loved the rankin books. Sally spencer and peter robinson are favourites of mine, especially robinsons early works

Really into Simon Kendrick and Stuart McBride. Have you tried those?

Is it Robinson whose books are set locally?

live.nrlstats.com/matches/nrl/match6192.html Go to team stats and work this one out! I have never seen such a lop sided set of stats where the team on top in every department ends up losing! Just look at how many tackles Brisbane made too!! I know stats mean nothing but jeez, to only score 8 points with all that is shocking.

Yes bud, robinsons books are in a north Yorkshire fictional town, quite possibly ripon.

Just finished the second of the Stieg Larsson trilogy - only 800 pages to go to read the lot.

Could I recommend - the following authors:
Robert Crais
Richard North Patterson
David Hosp
Robert Ellis

Didn't know this was the book club forum.

Sal you're in for a treat with the final part of Millenium.

We should have our own book thread.

The book thread could be seen as relavent as we all may need a bit of a light read next week as it could be a distraction from the horror story on the pitch. Only kidding!

I'm just about to start Fatherland by Robert Harris, does that qualify as a light read?
PS any other e-book afficianados on here?
PPS It makes a change from cake.

Robert crais is a good author, I also like John Sandford novels, although they are a little darker.

Not sure if it qualifies as a light read, just borrowed the book from my dad, should be starting it in a few days

Robert Harris-Fatherland, It would definitely qualify as light. Not one I'd say I picked up and couldn't put down.
