I was working on the earlier figures of 35.4m/2.38 secs so something around 60mph would seem more likely.

Three steps forward, one step back wasn’t it?

Agreed.

Hmm. About 33mph. Not as fast as you might think.

That’s your first mistake.

Does anybody know the speed of the ball from that kick?

Is that the new update called 'gullible' ?

"no-one should lose their livelihood" That worked well, didn't it. Countless businesses have folded or are up to their ears in debt because of the restrictions.

Anything acid works. Orange juice, vinegar apparently.

Then we just need to do a few thousand tests per player

How often did you watch at home?

What's that got to do with anything? Once or twice. Away games are an irrelevance and only give money to the other teams. Home season tickets are where the support is.

Perhaps now they can concentrate on the league.

I’m not familiar with that game at the moment as I’m miles away on a weak internet link.

No, just referees that are officiating under the same conditions. This has been my problem all along with VAR. The same interpretation and application of The Laws should apply at all levels of the game.

Assistant Referees (Linesmen) in the Premier League have been trained not to put their flag up if they are in any doubt about offside because VAR will check and overrule if necessary. Such ARs might then behave the same way if officiating at a non-VAR stadium.

It’s not the Laws that are different. It’s the application of them.

Isn’t there a comma missing? ’Crack, the secrets of high performance’

You obviously don't know what plastic support is. Being there and paying for it is the cornerstone of professional football.

Don’t put words into my mouth. Of course we were all pleased with that result, but the rest of the season at home was crap and personally I would not sacrifice a season for one game. You may feel differently, especially if you haven’t forked out well over a thousand quid for a season ticket. Or did you?

Respect is due to an old lady whatever her name or occupation.

Have a look at the figures for London.

Godwin’s Law?

Their country, their tournament, their rules.

It doesn’t stop the spread completely but it reduces it a lot. What about the other 1%? Or are they disposable to you?
