The statement is somewhat terse which makes me wonder what’s the reasoning behind this move.

I wouldn’t recommend it

It’s a typo on his part - the protests have been every Saturday for weeks now

An anti-war demonstration on Remembrance Day seems entirely appropriate to me. An anti-Israel demonstration obviously wouldn’t be - if that’s what you think this is, I would have to disagree, and I doubt anyone could persuade you otherwise. The UK, or any other country or religion, doesn’t have...

So this literally is your position then?

I’ve never said that either chant isn’t offensive or inflammatory - I certainly wouldn’t chant either for that very reason. It’s quite a leap from there though to insist that anyone who does is a literal IRA fanatic or wants to wipe Jews off the earth.

I see that after weeks of silence on this one the algorithms have finally done their job on you

Hang on, so what’s your position on this chant then, if not this?

What a ludicrous comparison

The history of this chant shouldn’t be lost on anyone by now, but you seriously can’t see “any other interpretation”?

You can quite legitimately argue about the implications of this chant, but I don’t think anyone’s denied it’s being sung at these marches

Someone better at data than me can confirm, but I don’t see a ton of correlation there with league position. Interesting that on Saturday we’ll have already played the six teams who make subs earlier than anyone else in the division.

At the end of the day, when they're deciding on stoppage time referees should only have one thing in mind - can I still make the 10:40 train to Euston?

Yeah, stoppage time is probably my biggest frustration with referees tbh. I think refs should have some flexibility when it comes to deciding how much there should be (I think a stopwatch would be very damaging to the game) but at the moment it just doesn't bear any relationship to reality, and...

Well yeah, as unfair as that Blackburn injury time seemed, it was the very definition of consistent refereeing. It's stuff like that which makes a mockery of the idea that refs should be consistent above all else - there's just more nuance to the game than that.

It isn't really, which is why I think it's a problem!

If we send either Wright or Simms out on loan in January then it will be much, much more difficult to attract top players in the next summer window. Any player with options wants/needs to know their next manager will back them - farming out Wright or Simms sends out the message that we're not...

Enough people complain about lengthy amounts of stoppage time that I'm not surprised that refs find it easier to stick to the status quo rather than go out on a limb and risk being accused of (shock horror) inconsistency.

The obvious problem with your question is that you would always rather have one player in your first XI who can score 20 goals instead of two players who can score 10 - if it takes two players to replace one player's goal output then you have to make compromises elsewhere. Until recently we have...

Thomas is 22, I think he has plenty of time to become a decent Championship CB. He looked more than capable in his first few games with us.
