Spot on although I'm not sure we'll shed as many as some expect. Championship players are very expensive or, if we rightly continue to try & find undervalued talent etc. the market for those players now will be far more competitive too.

No I didn't! That's ace, will have a look later! Cheers

Baffled as to why people are even responding. It was established he was a WUM ages ago & then reinforced with the Jodi Jones - Finished Thread 🙄

Link doesn't work. I've posted the view from behind earlier in the thread which shows it hitting his upper arm. You're literally contradicting yourself, earlier in the thread you said it hit his armpit which, by current definition, is NOT handball.

Looks pretty clear from this that it hits upper arm/shirt sleeve so, by the new rule NOT handball.

Mental. People seem to think we're in a relegation battle against Man City & Bayern rather than Rotherham & Birmingham.

Agreed. But as you say it hit his armpit which is NOT handball.

Absolutely ludicrous

Too much of that apathy around our fanbase. "I'll support the club but only when they're in the Championship" types. We (rightly) criticise the owners etc but we'll never progress without the required support.

Well no because it would be: A) Obstruction B) Physically impossible "For the purposes of determining handball offences, the upper boundary of the arm is in line with the bottom of the armpit. " Not handball

Yes but the top of his arm i.e. the shirt sleeve which is NOT handball

Yeah, pretty sure it was Rio. It's definitely happened quite a few times but I can't remember one for years & years. As I said not an issue in our scenario but interesting nevertheless.

Frivolous appeal. i.e. so blatantly deserved that you're wasting everyone's time in re-investigating etc. Would never be the case in this scenario & I'm not sure anyone has been punished for frivolous appeal in years anyway.

Deliberate Handball to prevent the ball going into the goal is always a red card. The appeal is that it hit the top of the arm so wasn't actually handball at all.

It was Godden's choice not to play for the U23s.

Yes but staying in the league = Increased TV money every year, back at the Ricoh should = Increased Ticket Revenue + associated revenues etc. so the longer we can stay at this level whilst punching above our weight financially should make it gradually easier. It's going to need to continue to...

Agree. He was really good in the Watford game, particularly liked how he let Østigård & Deeney battle without blowing for constant free-kicks etc. On the penalty, he's got himself in a great position but then when Kelly & Hyam move in front of McFadzean there's no way he can tell for sure where...

100% agree that the standard of the league is way down this season but why should we be immune to that? Lack of crowds, condensed season, lots of injuries, less time on the training pitch all affect us too. You've hit the nail on the head in that we've competed in most games yet somehow framed...

Purchased. Bit of a faff as moved seats & the interactive map isn't the easiest but all sorted.🙂💙
