I'm not saying their has, I just think that if a penalty is being retaken for any reason then the player that took it should have the confidence to take the second. If they don't they shouldn't be taking the first. It might seem a bit draconian but yellows for encroaching (either team), keeper...

I think once Walker is up to speed he'll be an adequate alternative for this level. Baka on his day can be unplayable, it's just getting it out of him. Biamou is capable of a bit of magic should we need another option though I'm not saying we should start him. It's not the strongest attack in...

Read this earlier and got me wanting some for dinner. Just had them and really enjoyed them, though I'm not claiming they're great or that they'd even be good enough to offer to others. I've got the least discerning tastebuds in the world and addicted to fast food crap. But the insides were...

I'd say bapaga is more likey to play an AM role rather than lone striker.

In such a scenario you could be given the option of 'subbing' in a taker, but the rule would be that the injured player not taking wouldn't be allowed back on the pitch for a few minutes. For me it's about making us better at penalties becuase we're shit at them in tournaments. Same reason I'd...

Not saying he is anywhere near ready. Just pointing out that they wanted us to bring in someone from lower down to develop. We have. Until McCallum came in Mason was the back up with Newton being trained in U23's.

Shipley was a CM coming through the academy who could play on the left if needed. It wasn't his preferred position.

Someone like Joe Newton maybe?

Bale actually started as a LB at Soton

It's more that many feel Mason is an adequate backup (although is better as a LB), plus he's our player. What happens if in Jan Norwich and Wolves both recall the loanees either because they're playing really well and want them back or because they're not getting the expected game time? We've...

As expected Hancock has blamed the public for not following safety measures if another lockdown occurs after spending weeks demanding people go out to the pub, restaurant and back to the office to help out the economy. How the f*** are they being allowed to get away with this s***?

But if you think the only reason he saved it was because he broke the rules then there's no issue with the same penalty taker being used.

I've always wanted a rule whereby the player fouled is the one who has to take it. If it's for something like handball it's the person who hit the shot/cross.

Agree wholeheartedly. The aim their anger at the ref when it should be aimed at the rules they're being asked to enforce. They're only doing what they're told. Of course they're not perfect and it can be frustrating with inconcsistency not just wekk to week but sometimes within games where...

The term gammon is the antithesis of the term snowflake. But rather than get upset and cry about something seemingly trivial they get upset and rage about it til they go red in the face with rage about something minor but is pink beneath that. As a general rule they tend to get upset with...

It is a different world when you think a month into the season we've got £200k just from televised games which is probably more than all our TV games in L1 and L2.

It's the problem with the handball rule - an accidental handball that's almost impossible to avoid can be significant as it stops the play and a team getting a chance to score, so having it just carry on seems unfair. But at the same time a penalty seems totally over the top. Plus the fact it's...

Of course it's more nuanced but some of those things you mention you also have to look at which parts of society have control over things which create those things. For example crime. In America a black person is more likely to be charged and gain a criminal record from a minor crime than a...

There are definitely non-pro's out there who are more than capable of providing more insight into teams etc. While analysis of tactics/positions etc is more likely to be accurate by the ex pros/coaches they're often clueless about actual teams, players, styles of play etc. Certainly outside the...

I wonder if there's a camera that shows them at the kick off to see if they took a knee? Nothing to stop them supporting the cause if they choose on the sidelines.
