Not sure how relevant this is to the thread but my 12 year old grandson plays at the highest level of water polo in his age group in South Africa ! He once came out of the water with great weals and scratches on his back and said to his (very fit, very young and very tasty female coach) "this is out of order, what can I do about it" ? Her response was " grab them by the balls and squeeze very tight" ! Strangely the problem seems to have been solved ! I'm guessing that Ralph went to the same sort of school as she did 😇

And the most modest 🤠

I'm guessing that could apply to me too.... 😇

My one in the Kingsland has gone back as well cos the wife is paranoid that we will get a positive test next week before we fly to South Africa ! I tried it for the Spurs game when I had Covid but in the end they never sold it 😩

I don't want Derby to go out of existence but I'm quite happy that they get all the points deductions due to them !! Football fans get all emotional about their clubs but if they clearly break the rules, then they have to be penalised ! I've seen nothing to mitigate in their favour, therefore , so be it....

VAR 2-0 Saints

Have watched the replays a number of times now and each time Bednarek gets the ball = good tackle ! hos the fuck that’s given as a pen is beyond me 👹

Terrible decision, never a pen 😩

Let's hope that Semmens and Ralph read this thread as there are so many tips that could make a huge difference to our team selection and scouting policy... 🤣🤣🤣

Newcastle v Watford tomorrow ! Would love to see the Hornets get a result 😆

Can you maybe take the little cards you got when you were jabbed (credit card size) ? My mate used his at SMS on Tuesday and they just waved him through !!

Too true..

They said that they wouldn't overpay for anybody ! I assume then that Wood is worth £25 million 🤣

After he got sent off against Spurs a (so called!) supporter on Twitter said “he should never play for this club again” ! There really are some divs around ☺️ !

I agree with this but he did bottle the second yellow for Toney ! It was clear cut....

All this talk of Valery intentionally 'fouling' Obafemi makes me long for the days of John McGrath, Norman Hunter and Chopper Harris 😇 It's pathetic watching so many of these super fit young men throw themselves to the ground knowing that todays referees will ignore the fact that it's a contact sport and meakly enforce the rules as they perceive them 🙁 Grrr....

I agree with you here, no way was there enough to cause Obafemi to go down like that, he played for it ! If any slight contact is always to be given then why did we not get a penalty when Long was touched with two hands on his back in the box ??

I thought that it was Small who had covid , not Simeu ?

As I said in my post, you take people as you find them and I was surprised as to how pleasant he was as well as being very good with the kids !!

Tbf, it's not an exact science and the chances are that we'll get as many wrong as right.. Happens at every level of the football pyramid and probably less than 5% of prospects ever make the top grade !

Livramento and Broja are still teenagers and arguably our best players right now ! Tella, Salisu and Diallo are early 20s so I don’t think your argument holds up at all……

That was a few years ago, maybe he’s gone backwards since 😃

Terry must have a dual personality, I met him at Cobham a few times (his kids were in the same team as my grandson and he did a bit of coaching) ! He was polite, relaxed, not the slightest bit arrogant and the diametric opposite of his perceived public persona ! I guess that might apply to others but I take people as I find them and am happy to pass this on...

Without transparency there will always be doubts about the credibility of the whole system ! The cynic in me thinks that there is something to hide …
