That one completely passed me by!
That one completely passed me by!Simeon Jackson got two in the same game!
I had to check he’d played for us...I think I must have tried to wipe it from my memory.That one completely passed me by!
That name just ouzes Italian red wine.Ponticello got on the scoresheet for Wrexham yesterday.
it is a very harsh rule
I don't think it's harsh. If the rule isn't that you have to stand on the line what is the limit to how far you can come off? A foot? A metre? Right next to the spot obscuring the shot? There has to be a rule and it makes sense that it's to stand on a line painted on the grass.
I agree but you've picked out the middle of a sentence which kinda removes my context tbf.
I was trying to say that it's harsh that we're so strict on goalkeeper movement if the taker is allowed all the histrionics in the run up.
Used to be a rule about the taker wasn't allowed to make a deliberate stop during his run up but that's since been ignored.
A yellow doesn’t punish the last piece you mentioned, e.g. Winks yesterday with cynical foul on the halfway line which prevented a 3 on 1 for Leicester in the last few minutes - should be straight red in that situation.Fair. I don't like all the faffing about in the run up either.
But what I dislike the most is the awarding of penalties... where it seems to depend on whether the player falls over as to if it is a penalty or not. Surely, if it's a foul it's a foul... even if it only unbalances the player and he stays on his feet? We play advantage elsewhere on the pitch, why is it different in the box? If we did this it would:
a) incentivise players to continue to try and score, in the knowledge that they possibly have a penalty in the bag;
b) Slightly reduce diving.
I'd also like to see more penalties for wrestling in the box... the unwritten rule seems to be that it's considered a part of the game for defenders to push/pull and hold onto shirts. And whilst I'm at it, I'd like to see harsher penalties for cynical fouls as a player breaks away but without yet a clear view on goal. Should be a yellow every time without exception.

Didn't see it... But there has to be a rule so there is consistency. The rule at the moment, as I understand it, is that the player has to have a clear chance at goal and then it's a red. If there is no clear chance on goal and it's not dangerous play you cannot award a red for that in all cases. And if you leave it up to the ref to judge how likely they were to shortly have a clear cut chance you'll get inconsistency.
I want it to be more draconian than it is - players like O'Hare get pulled down 10 times per game with players taking it in turns to deny breaks on the half-way line. I'd like that to be reduced but not at the cost of having 16 players on the pitch after 90 minutes for every fixture.
I agree completely with this and with your comments on all of the wrestling that goes on in the penalty area..Didn't see it... But there has to be a rule so there is consistency.

Get the piss testers outSteven Pressley appointed head of individual development at Brentford.
Matthew Pennington (finally) leaves Everton and joins Shrewsbury on a permanent deal. Always thought he'd end up higher than that.
Great signing by the Shrews, I'm surprised he didnt get a championship club.Matthew Pennington (finally) leaves Everton and joins Shrewsbury on a permanent deal. Always thought he'd end up higher than that.

Must be hard as a player in that position, thinking that one day you might just get your chance playing in the Premier League because the club keep wanting you to stay / extending your contract.Bizarre how many end up knocking about there until their mid to late twenties.

It’s a weird set up isn’t it
Jeez! Forgot all about him.Tony Andreu released by Ross County.
So Joe Newton has gone to conf South. Not a bad level considering his age and every chance he can kick on and make a league career. Certainly impressed the few times I saw him for our 23s.
Wonder where Williams and Bartlett will go. Thompson is still on loan and playing every min for Solihull moors. He'll bag a conf or league 2 gig.
Williams played in league 1 for us and a few conf loan spells. Imagine if he wanted he'd he a league player but his insta is full of him pro gaming so...who knows.
Yes I'm bored
Good movement there and equalised they need another thoughPonticelli lots of effort but not getting a sniff
