Yes, they play at 1AM our time Friday morning, (4 hour time difference), 14 hour flight from Chile apparently, and they played in Peru last Friday who are still red list so I imagine he will need to complete his 10 day quarantine, although not sure about whether he will be exempt from that.

some interesting facts (or myths) about boomerangs. There are left handed and right handed boomerangs, if a left handed person throws a right handed boomerang it will never come back (and vice versa) There are returning and non returning boomerangs. Non returning ones were primarily used as...

quite a popular quote back in the old days, I remember Southampton supporters having placards with it on about Mick Channon

He must have given the ref a good whack before the kick the way he fell.

I see from the Cov Telegraph the (not so) Super Computer has been plugged in again. https://www.coventrytelegraph.net/sport/football/football-news/coventry-city-championship-season-prediction-21778977 Predicting us to finish 7th. 11 games ago it was predicting us to finish 21st. Last season it...

Don't acorns grow into oak trees?

He hasn't been found guilty yet,

What do people expect? most of his own supporters have condemned him as guilty, will be very difficult for him to put a case together.

I think he must have stepped on a piece of lego :giggle:

Ok, thanks for that info, the last I read was he was only playing 2 games,

People saying Brereton Diaz can't play against us, I don't think that is definite. The red list countries are being reviewed next week, and Chile are doing well re: Covid, with a current 7 day average of only 629 new cases and 84.6 double vaccinated. They could come off the red list next week...

Still an offence

You are probably right, but a ref can caution a player for a dive if that's the way he sees it. some players are really good at drawing a foul, even to the extent of sticking their foot out to make contact in a way that looks like they were fouled. Godden isn't one of those players who...

Does anyone remember the Robbie Fowler penalty incident? He fell over in the box and was awarded a penalty, he tried to get the ref to change his mind without success. https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/robbie-fowler-recalls-day-refused-8913864 sometimes players just slip or fall...

It might be worth reading this https://www.thefa.com/football-rules-governance/lawsandrules/laws/football-11-11/law-11---offside Offside offence A player in an offside position at the moment the ball is played or touched* by a team-mate is only penalised on becoming involved in active play...

If I'm correct a foul outside the box where the contact continues into the box is now deemed to be a penalty, so a foul outside the box where the player continues on and falls inside the box is not a penalty if the contact ended before he entered the box. Is this what you mean?

From this angle it looked a clear penalty, this is what the ref would have seen. From the front there was clearly no contact but if you are running flat out and someone sticks a leg out, what would you do? The defender was stupid for giving the ref a decision to make.

For me it was yesterday. Bad defending and mistakes or not, Fulham are on paper the team to beat, Bournemouth are my biggest worry, but I will settle for 2nd place.

Not unless he tests positive at some point, Only red countries are affected I think

It's amazing how many supporters say their team played rubbish, it's never the opposition that made it happen.
