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...

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.

yes, you are right, changes take effect on Monday

I assume Sweden are home to Kosovo and Greece, and as Sweden are an amber list country he will be OK to play against Blackburn provided his Covid test is negative

Won't their first choice strikers will be Isak and Quaison?

I notice the thread ended rather abruptly

Strange how this game was almost a mirror image of Wednesday, even down to the dodgy penalty and its apparent influence on the rest of the game.

already about half way there and October has barely started

This thread is only 2 days old, I think some of aught to revisit our predictions already, me included

Technically we scored 5 today, so completely wipes out Wednesday

A lot of people said we were overdue to give someone a good hammering, I never thought it would be Fulham.

Don't get too excited, we haven't played anyone decent yet ;)

Fulham (H) Blackburn (A) Preston (A) Derby (H) Hull (A) Swansea (H) Bristol (H) Sheff (A) Bham (H) Bournemouth (A) I think there is a minimum of 12 points there, wins against Hull, Swansea, and Birmingham and draws against Preston, Derby, and Bristol. That would still leave us on 31 points...
