No we activated a clause in the original contract. I can't be bothered to go searching for the article in case it doesn't exist the Rest of the argument stands. Yes if Moore was injured we likely would sign someone for the bench like we did Lee camp last year 👍 Your comment on David bell...

Have we given out a 4 year contract at all since Bell and Baker?

Bakayoko was never given an extension, it was an activation of his original contract. Wilson is a second choice keeper so a cheap contract for someone bang average to sit on the bench. I believe biamou was a contractual obligation to extend going by what robins said at the time about...

Even for you Grendel that is a stupid comment. Because every contract extension ends up like a David bell scenario. That fact you have had to go back a decade to make the point is telling.

Don't forget the Christmas quiz

I see the premier League managers and league officials again today.

Mixed bag. GCSEs and A levels. Skipped uni as I believe it's a big scam for most people (obvious exceptions.) You can get a degree in anything now. Project management apprenticeship, poached into HR, enjoyed that for a few years but not truly satisfied. Joined the RAF and here I am. Paid to...

Listening to what the players thing for one. It's not one extreme or the other not every game has to be canceled and not every game has go be played. The first step by authorities has been made for me by cancelling the FA cup replays. But the reality is it's been piss poor planning by the FA...

I agree with this. Although to add I think the point is about welfare as a whole. It seems that some are only looking at it one dimensionally with Covid in mind. With things such as teams have 14 players they should play. It's a very different proposition for the top teams. Maybe there is...

I agree statistics can be used in any which way. However, obviously as a caveat to that it depends which statistics you use, and how it's used to inform a decision. You are talking solely about deaths which isn't the only determining factor. The other key thing throughout is the strain on...

The vast majority of medical experts and scientists disagree with this, the benefits of the vaccine have clearly outweighed not getting it. (In Bold) And I know it's been point out numerous times but just to cover it again. Hospitalisations and deaths take weeks to follow increases in...

Villa have been doing it for years from what I know. When I volunteered with the academy set-up briefly a few years back I was speaking to the academy head of recruitment and he mentioned that a few years ago a coach left villa and came to work for the club but within a few months he suddenly...

Manager mentioned it back in November when I looked the other day. Was meant to miss the whole Xmas period. https://www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/sport/football/dundee-united/2774406/tam-courts-praise-for-goal-hero-louis-appere-as-dundee-united-boss-offers-injury-update-on-max-biamou/

I think it shows why there is so much inconsistency in application of the laws as well! It's a hard job being a ref. I also think if you start enforcing that rule you are looking at a lot of indirect free kicks. It may well have been removed and put back in tbf, it's only cause I had this...

Half correct. The six second rule does exist but you aren't necessarily meant to get a yellow card it's meant to result in an indirect free-kick. It's still in the IFAB laws of the game as: An indirect free kick is awarded if a goalkeeper, inside their penalty area, commits any of the following...

I agree with a lot of this, but question on the last point, are you talking about a far higher uptake of vaccine in the UK in general? If so I'm not sure that's ever going to be likely, given that between 85-90% of the population have had the vaccine. When you look at vaccine stats for standard...

Aren't we a week or two ahead of Germany in this covid wave? I don't disagree with the point mind you, especially if games are being called off because of social contacts due to not having both doses of the vaccine rather than actually having the virus. But even clubs with high vaccination...

Didn't say it was the end of the world but yes a large part of it is the overall experience, but it's not one or the other. They need game time as much as they need to be in a first time environment. But Kane had very good loan experiences at Orient and Millwall. He only joined those teams in...

Because they have only had it for the last week to 10 days at max? Considering it takes at least that amount of time to result in hospitalisation on average that would be why wouldn't it? Not only that but we have seen the likes of Darlow hospitalised previously. Saint-maximin got it badly...

I mean that's just nots what is happening is it? You only have to look at the games that have gone ahead to see that squads have been decimated for top teams. Even Chelsea who probably have the biggest squad in the league have had 6 players which includes 2 keepers on the bench today...
