It does, just other team's pitches.

The o-line is sadly as flaky as it's ever been, but Earl Thomas being out in particular makes the defence seem more vulnerable. Lockett's a big loss too. I'm still expecting to beat Detroit, but I can't see much joy in Atlanta.

People do want the club to be profitable, but as far as priorities go it pales in comparison to footballing success by any means (I can only imagine how many times 'speculate to accumulate' has been used here over the years) which is understandable as people would rather see good news on a...

When the position is that your opinion is the one shared by 'fair minded observers' whereas the other is shared by 'some elements' you're not really respecting it yourself. It's the wording of the statement that can only detract from the point, in much the same way that some guy with a whistle...

Anyone who can't see an issue with the wording of that statement shouldn't be trusted with putting out statements.

They'd have been better off saying nothing at all instead, that's incredibly snide.

That's the way I'm still leaning, but they could be asking why they've let the ball get away from them in a dangerous position in injury time. My immediate thought when it happened was first that play had stopped, and then that the players had hesitated thanks to the whistle. I still think...

One confirmed so far

Without sound it looks like a regular mixup. It's impossible to say either way as observers.

That still isn't really conclusive in fairness, it shows the ball was near him but it was still zipping along thanks to the Bolton player shanking it. You could quite easily pass it off as two players assuming the other will cover as much as you could that they stopped due to a whistle.

I hear we've been stockpiling pies in a secret bunker

I don't think anything can be conclusively proven either way, only the players themselves can know. There definitely was a whistle blown, but that's about as factual as it can ever get.

Can't ignore that whistle distraction or not, we still should have stopped what happened after that point. Comes with the desperation and tiredness that Slade mentioned.

Lameiras had a belting cameo overall didn't he? At that point two defenders raise their arms as if imploring, although whether it's because of a whistle or because a Bolton player's been allowed to collect the ball in a danger area in injury time is up for debate. Another 10 pages anyone?

My main disappointment with this whole thing is that it's almost been a full day and I've only just now thought to make a Father Damo reference

Yeah I wasn't keen on that, it had the air of one of those internet vigilante witchhunts that invariably see the wrong person getting dog's abuse.

I'd have a rule of thumb that things people say elsewhere (at least under a real name) probably shouldn't be posted here in order to criticise them unless they've got the opportunity to respond.

The two players hesitated which allowed the ball to reach the Bolton player, by which point it was evident the referee hadn't blown up.

All the NFC teams have had moments of brilliance and utter hopelessness, it does look harder to call than most years.
