It does the club no good to have a regular first teamer out injured for quite a while. I’m sure he’ll come back stronger. If his absence means that we play less of the nerve-wracking triangles around our own goal then it can only be a good thing. My concern now is that McCarthy is somehow seen as a better bet than Lumley. At least it’s only four games in which either has to excel. Cross our fingers and hold our hands over our eyes.

What happened with Lumley?

No Stephens

He’s clearly ahead of the ball and any defender. Certainly not an incorrect decision.

The ball has already been kicked.

Any other still shots? Believe me, to those of us who were there and in line he was comfortably offside..

It was perfectly correct. Fraser was comfortably offside.

No. Or rather, not necessarily. Even if we keep our emissions the same as they were two hundred years ago the climate would be different. We cannot control the climate. I know all the science, thanks. So what caused all the ice ages and when is the next one?

Who are ‘they’?

Not actually true. Look up Maunder Minimum and Dalton Minimum for just a start.

When we have more time I will give you a whole list of links. https://www.adividedworld.com/scientific-issues/clouds-and-global-warming/ It’s far more complicated than these ‘experts’ can begin to imagine.

Can a private individual do that?

I wouldn’t stand for it.

It might be delaying the next ice age. The sun dominates everything.

I don’t think many dispute that the climate is changing. But it always has. The question is how much, if any, of this is due to human activity.

I’m sure there must have been some but I can’t name any at the moment. From the defensive point of view that would be the ideal.

Normally from the start of the season.

Yes, not even on the bench although we had used our five substitutes when Stephens moved into midfield obscurity. I have a feeling that we are going to need Charles for the run in.

Indeed. Even before the latest rulings that would more likely than not have been given as a handball.

I’d rather the ball never went anywhere near him. That would be the mark of a good defence. And I include the ridiculous back passing in that.

I’ve watched it a few times this morning and it’s inconclusive. I think it comes off Downes’s chest but the goal is in the record books now.

Ok. That’s more likely.

“Stupid is as stupid does”

“Trip or attempt to trip” Rarely given.

We sit in block 32 and we’re saying all the time “He’s off. He’s off”. By the time that the pass came across he was at least two yards offside.

A shout out to Manning for the quality of his corners.
