In your excitement to insult yet another Wakey fan I suppose

is it any wonder that you are not well received on the Wakey board

no offence meant Georgie btw

If you didn't mean any offence to be taken, why did you post on here in the first place?

How can you take the p!ss out of e

I posted on here in the first place to say that according to the papers Bresnan was from Ponty and not Cas as some of them on here were wanting to jump on the bandwagon and say he was from Cas for some reason, you in your wisdom decided to intervene by putting on a post which was at best stupid, I commented on it and on reflection thought I had been a bit harsh as most of speedies posts are silly and offensive anyway, so I thought I would lighten the mood by saying that I did not mean ny offence, not really bothered either way take it how you want.

Pass on that one. With you being an authority on the subject I'm sure you will know the answer though

I thought he was from Townville??

OK. Tim Bresnan is "from" Cas (ie he has lived in the environs of Cas all his life, was schooled in Cas, played his club cricket for Cas-based teams). He was born in Pontefract General Infirmary Maternity department quite simply because there is no maternity hospital in Cas any more. If you believe that makes him "from" Pontefract, then Colin Cowdrey is from India and Derek Pringle is from Nairobi and Michael Vaughan is from Manchester. None of those people would say that they were "from" those places. They just happened to be born there.

The "Barnsley" joke was a little topical throwaway gag - as Wakefield looking at playing their games at Oakwell in Barnsley. I was trying to show how idiotic it is to try to tell someone where they're from. You certainly picked up on that bit (that it's an idiotic statement to make) but didn't make the connection. Sorry if I was being too subtle for you.

There, now. Was that patronising enough.

There you have it !

It's true !!!

congratulations to castlefords ashes hero from someone who was cricket captain of castleford high school the same has bresnan,unfortunatley my reign only lasted 1 game has we were bowled out for 11 although i led by example and top scored with 4 just edging out "wides".

well done tim always good to get one over the aussies

So really then he was born in Pontefract and now lives in Cas, that is the [usubtle[/u difference, oh and I like the way you are now passing your attempt at a geography lesson off as a joke, it might be [usubtle[/u in your head just plain stupid to me matey as I asked before about you doing stand up if thats the strength of your humour then I doubt it, I do hope I don't come across as patronising as you though

Are you saying that they are lying then and that he was not born in Pontefract?

btw in your eagerness to put up your very imformative post your excitement must have got the better of you alfred because if you havent noticed you presed the crazy button 6 times when one would have been sufficient, unless your keyboard is not up to it and you need a new one hth.
