He didn't have to make any statement. He hasn't used the word 'accident'. He said what he tried to do he got wrong and admits full responsibility. He admits he put a player at risk of injury. People wanted the FA to look at it. They have done, he has a three match ban in accordance with...

The Sumo contest between about eight players at every corner is another thing that is spoiling the game.

Got a gig to go to in Nottingham tomorrow. Plymouth away will be tough, they are not goal shy at home. Whittaker is second highest scorer in the Championship and has plenty of assists too. I would be surprised if we keep a clean sheet. I would not be disappointed with a draw to be honest...

As results stand so far in tonight's games we are seventh? Potentially at full time we could be 8th.

What about Milan Van Ewijk? Even if the keeper guessed the right way he would probably end up in the back of the net with the ball 😆 In fairness I think we have several players who look capable. Which isn't a bad situation to be in. It comes down to nerve as much as ability when the...

There is going to be a lot of surprise results between now and the end of the season. Team in the top ten will have to play each other and take points off each other. It is approaching silly season when teams wake up to the relegation fight and get a few surprise results. We are in a good...

In Sakamoto's case yes. With Allen it was leaning in with the shoulder as contact was made - which could makes the collision look more innocuous in real time? The fact that the more obvious reckless challenge has luckily resulted in little injury and the more subtle but equally reckless...

The thing with the Allen situation was he played on with the injury. How many of our fans reacted to the challenge before they knew the extent of the injury? I don't know the answer to that? To me it was obvious he made contact with Allen that was avoidable. However it didn't look like a...

Perhaps they will when they know the outcome?There are lots of on going things the club don't tell us, they don't have to, they are in control of what and when they choose to make public statements.

Yes it is a bit mad? But even more mad we have some FA Cup games with VAR and others not.

"As soon as we lose a key player or 2 we will struggle" is probably true of every team bar Leicester, Southampton and Leeds? Yes it would impact on some teams more than others. I think even with the bedding in of new players this season, we over achieve more last season considering the injuries...

Why do they have to say anything? They haven't made any statement either way. Perhaps they are waiting on a process

I think there might be protocols to follow.

And I would agree with both of you. But the club will have its own considerations to make. For instance we don't know what has been said between the two players and the clubs after the match? They may feel it has been addressed and we move on?

Yes, do we want to be the club that complains every week?

I agree it looked like he used his elbow to put it into the net. I have only seen it from one angle though. But handball is one of those rules which they have over complicated by introducing an element of personal interpretation. A couple of things that have to be considered. The ball is...

I think the onus would be on the aggrieved club to make a complaint and submit any evidence they have? Let's be honest if they opened it up to fans they would still be addressing stuff from games played in October.

Wasn't it a dive that resulted in a penalty being awarded and a goal scored? I know a dive is a dive, but the resulting consequences have to be taken into consideration. All players and teams dive all over the pitch. They see it as gaining an advantage rather than cheating. The same way as...

I watched it live, it happened practically right in front me. I missed it, so did lots of other fans sat around me The woman who sits next to me called it straight away. You are entitled to your opinion based on what you saw But you have no right to say what an official would of seen...

You can't say what the lino has seen or hasn't, because you can't see the angle of his eyes. You are making a big assumption on what he has seen? You are going down the road of looking to blame an official. Perhaps football managers are to blame for not taking their own disciplinary action...
