    Transfer Rumour Haji Wright

    Am I alone in thinking that the keeper might have got his sprawling fingertips to Haji's close-range one that hit the post?

    Allen injury

    I was in the West End at Highfield Road, and during the match couldn't stop my mind wandering to the people on that ferry. They were saying at the time that they might get rescued from air pockets in the sunken ship, but I never thought it was likely and sadly I was right.

    Allen injury

    I seem to recall it was a freezing day, and as the match was being played rescuers were trying (and failing) to save a lot of poor souls from the bottom of the English Channel after the Zeebrugge ferry disaster :(

    No way could he mess around like that with the nasty injury he got.

    Transparency Peterborough transfer talk

    An insider tells me our scouts have been closely monitoring this stand-out striker in the IceFloe Divisie (Antarctic third tier). Free agent, plays anywhere across the front three, head and shoulders above anyone else in the league. Surprisingly good vision. His teammate on the far right...

    Allen injury

    Probably a bit easier, but it would depend if they were still going to draw such narrow lines. If so, you'd still have that millimetre judgement as to whether there is 'clear space' or not. I think the lines should be wider / fuzzier, and in the case of overlap, give the attacker the benefit of...

    Allen injury

    You either go with the officials' judgements by eye, or you use technology. The point I was making is that if you change the offside rule to 'clear space' between defender and attacker (as opposed to part of the attacker being ahead of the defender) you don't make it any easier to judge. You've...

    You would need lines to determine whether there was clear space though.

    The ball has long gone, and it has to be deliberate.

    I'm talking about how long it seems to take each person to be cleared through the turnstiles. It doesn't matter what time it is, or whether there are 5 or 500 people in the queue.

    How does an accident on the M69 affect how long it takes each person to get through the turnstiles? For whatever reason, the throughput is ridiculously slow 🐌 It was quicker 50 years ago when people were paying cash.

    Sorry, it was a flippant remark based on the unfortunate way you phrased it. Hope Allen is OK, but as per my previous post I fear it's a significant injury because they didn't wait for hospital results before saying it was fractured.

    If they already know he's fractured it before he's even had it scanned, it's presumably quite bad. Hope it's 'hairline', but very much doubt it :(
