You are so wrong. I recommend that you lookup the Laws relating to offside decisions.

Not true. Being in an offside position is just a part of it. There are many other factors in the final decision and they are all subjective.

"compared to pre-pandemic level" But you never were any good at reading.

Wow! This lad is really good.

A well placed shot.

And our population has grown by more than that,

Might have drawn it.

Indeed it was, but he also scored a second great one when the ball was headed back to him and he flicked it up off his knee and volleyed it in over the keeper’s head.

Branfoot was about to substitute MLT and even had the number 7 card ready. When Matty scored he turns round to ‘Moods’ and says “sit down” with a wry smile on his face.

Didn’t we beat Cambridge United 3-0?

And if you close your eyes all your problems disappear.

Your boys took a hell of a beating

We’d still lose.

The best time to plant a tree is twenty years ago. The second best time is now.

It’s taken me 30 minutes to find out how to see it on Virgin TV

Thanks. I really didn’t want to hijack this thread or put a downer on the game. Mods, if you want to split my problems into a different thread then please go ahead. Thank you everybody for your kind and comforting thoughts. Please remember that whatever the result on Tuesday we are all on the same side and that it’s only a game.

Thank you all for your kind thoughts. I didn’t want to spoil the debate about the game but it’s a comfort to know that we are all out there for each other. Take care everybody and give your loved ones that extra hug.

That’s very kind and thoughtful of you but sadly there is no hope for her. This is one occasion where the result is unimportant to me.

No shit Sherlock. You missed out “score more goals than the opposition”. We know all this, everybody knows all this, why do we always have to choose managers who want to try something different?

I shan’t be going. My beautiful wife and constant companion of over 57 years is gravely ill and I shall not be leaving her side. Our grandson has my ticket and he will give me a full and honest report.

For my sins I watched the goal again this morning. Straight from the kick off we just played it all the way back to Bazunu in three or four passes. This can only have been a deliberate much-practised plan. Almost as though every one of our moves has to start with fiddling around at the back trying to show off.

He started brightly but then disappeared. He must have vanished from sight because none of our players ever saw him or passed to him after that.

I was very impressed with Swansea when we went there for that big match a couple of years ago. Very dignified and friendly. A proper football club.

The one who was always last to be picked at school when the captains took turns to choose their sides.

And who does Sulemana have available that he can pass to? No wonder it was intercepted.
