    A45 bridge access

    FYI Speedie87; Diving underneath this morning; Barrier on slip down to Henrys Field Active traffic lights on Baginton side. Not a lot going on on Jag side. I'd say you probably wouldn't even be able to access it from that side. Obviously did not look open.

    Match Thread Sheffield Wednesday

    They are moving the ball/have moved the ball well, so much more movement than when we played them a few weeks back (Pulis-ball). Playing with energy too. (Hopefully will feel it in their legs come Wednesday!) Going to be another very tough encounter.

    A45 bridge access

    Drive under on my way to work tomorrow. I'll have a look, don't think anything but construction traffic has been near it. Unless it is officially open, I'd doubt there would be pedestrian access. I'll get back tomorrow.

    Didn’t Dion score.....

    "There is no cause to rule the goal out either then or by today's laws" -Yeah! Agree! - that - if you can be bothered to read all my previous spiel, is exactly what I was trying to discuss with Adge! "He can only be penalised offside from when the ball is played by a teammate. When the cross...

    Didn’t Dion score.....

    Technically, when he was behind Given - this "is" an "offside position" - don't know the exact wording - Adge may, but you can be stood in an offside position but not be "offside" - (this is where then the whole playing the pall forward, interfering with play, being active aspects come into it)...

    Didn’t Dion score.....

    Cheers Adge - however, this is/is this not, where things and aspects of specific laws seem down to interpretation? - Genuine question. Firstly - you stated previously that part of the law had changed to infer that a player off the pitch, was classed as being "on the pitch - goal line...

    Didn’t Dion score.....

    This one was more to do with the Keeper having the ball under control, laws changed now that you aren't allowed to obstruct or challenge/attempt to stop the keeper from releasing the ball.

    Wilson/Marosi

    Heard a stat this week that statistically, playing the ball out from the back, advances the ball, in possession, higher up the pitch than a kick from the keeper does!

    Didn’t Dion score.....

    Given played the ball.... deliberately, by rolling it in front of him to kick from the ground! Surely, according to laws, and exactly the same as last night, the goal stands! Can't see any difference, the rule change making it even more comparable to last night in terms of him being classed as...

    Didn’t Dion score.....

    I know it was offside, my comments are in relation to this "loophole " in the law and how ridiculous it is. I actually (believe this or not) was aware of this part of the law! - (although not the actual wording)

    Didn’t Dion score.....

    Surely it would be allowed, same principle in terms of the laws related to last night. If he was "on the line" he still would not be offside (although now standing in an offside position)-(wasn't off from cross), and then as soon as Given "deliberately " plays the ball, he is "onside" same as...

    Might need to be careful with the Hummel cotton t-shirts. I can just about squeeze into a L replica shirt/training shirt but prefer XL HOWEVER, in the dark blue, black, grey cotton t-shirts I'd go a size down - they come up big! EG, in those, I can comfortably fit into a M, large is possibly XL...

    Didn’t Dion score.....

    Sort of - came from behind player - Shay Given - but was not offiside when ball was played "forward" from the cross that was put in, unlike the MCFC player who was offiside at every point! (although ridiculously NOT offiside (despite being in an offside position!) from the point Mings touched...

    Wilson/Marosi

    This exactly!! Wilson has performed far better than in his previous appearances for us in cup games. Anybody who has seen Marosi should be able to see that his command of the 18 yard box and anything ariel coming into that is not great. Far inferior to that of Wilson - This will be even more...

    Mental Health

    No worries - Currently doing something similar - hence being one here so late! In terms of "ways out of the profession" I'd say that was a last resort, although difficult, and not immediate, a change of school/establishment would be the first thing I'd look at. Maternity posts will always pop up...

    Mental Health

    If it is a faculty/department issue, easier to go above to try to get things looked at, if it is coming from the top, often, sadly, the best thing is to "get out" - which, I'm sure, as you know, at present is difficult! Really sad, and I feel for both you, reading on here how you are having to...

    Mental Health

    That is shocking - whoever has sanctioned that - HT, HOF or whoever, needs to take a long hard look at themselves with mental health and wellbeing of staff being vitally important at this time! What is so urgent at the moment in schools, with exams not happening the way they usually would, that...
