    Didn’t Dion score.....

    Both open to interpretation and with one assumes you consider it in isolation from the rest of the bullet point. Circumvent the law seems to relate specifically to backpasses. Plus this specifically is about booking players rather than the actual offence. I would argue that Dion wasn't showing...

    Didn’t Dion score.....

    But they still have to meet the criteria for offside (i.e. being ahead of the last defender when their teammate hit the ball). He didn't, and still wouldn't, meet that criteria.

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Have to say that despite so many fuck-ups the vaccination process does seem to be going well so fair play to the authorities for that. Also good to hear that it's probably helping not just sort out the virus but mental health with the stress of worry. Slight concern is some people...

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    Joe's red button is the one they give old people to put around their neck to alert people if they've had a fall.

    Fair enough. I knew Cantwell arrived after the season started so I thought there'd been a temporary inbetween as I thought Hill started his TV work at the start of that season.

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Maybe it was more virulent but shorter lived and so is 'dying off' in terms of overall infections with more lockdown restrictions (even though they're not being quite as well observed as they could be)?

    James Maddison

    I'm inbetween. I think he's decent enough but think there's better players that should be in the England team ahead of him. Maddison, Grealish and Foden to name three.

    So if the recruitment (even for U23) is not part of his remit and is decided by others you can't argue he's been given more money can you? All players signed for U23's haven't been signed by him and thus can't be included in his transfer spending. And that's assuming all first team signings were...

    Jimmy Hill's got one and much of his tenure was in the lower leagues and never managed us for a single game in the top flight. Not saying MR should get one btw. For me even if we go down he gets a decent chance next season. It was a hard enough job to start with without our current injuries...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Last bit isn't true. 2010-2015 was a coalition (albeit as the major partner) May's govt didn't have an outright majority hence the £1bn DUP deal.

    Didn’t Dion score.....

    How is he offside if it's an OPPOSITION player playing the ball?

    Didn’t Dion score.....

    How? If he was onside when the last player on the attacking team touched the ball he isn't offside regardless of whether he ends up on the pitch, the line or off the field completely. Players don't need permission to come back on if momentum has taken them off. Otherwise a player that left the...

    More injuries happen in training than during matches. Mainly because you spend a lot more time on the training field than in games, despite the lower intensity.

    Trouble is if he had with the lack of support it'd have just ended up with him being beaten to the ball by the CB's and Reading getting the ball back anyway. It's all very well just mindlessly following instructions. Worked well for the Light Brigade.

    I think we have been a bit unlucky in terms of who they've happened too. Integral first teamers. We've had a couple of years where injuries to key players haven't been that bad or we've had the ability to adapt to the ones we have (Jones/Jobello). Do you think we'd have won the league last year...

    To be honest that'd be no less than Shipley has done last couple of games. And he'd probably be more willing to stick his boot in.

    As O'Hare wasn't brought in to score goals what was he brought in for them? Oh yes, to ASSIST the forwards to score goals. Something which he hasn't done once this season. He's actually scored more than he's created despite missing a huge amount of very easy chances. But of course you say...
