No, that is nothing like a poacher. That is a very good goal scorer. A poacher is someone who pounces on rebounds from the keeper or a post. A poacher would normally be found in the six yard box. I suggest that you do us all a favour and go and look at that goal again. If that's the goal of a poacher then almost evry goal ever scored is a poacher's goal.

No. He raced half the length of the pitch in order to be in the right place and it wasn't from 'fairly close range' by any means of the words. Nothing of the poacher about it.

‘On target’ or not doesn’t bother me. A shot on target that’s not a goal is not much different from a shot that is a foot wide or hits the woodwork. They are all goal scoring opportunities.

Well there’s a pleasant surprise 🥳

Indeed it is and I understand the reasons why, but I only said that it reminds me of it in the sense that what you see is not what you pay.

No I wouldn’t. I thought I made that clear. It could be seen as misleading. It reminds me of when you buy something in America and then get the sales tax slapped on top. But what’s the point of it?

In my opinion the price that you see should be the price that you pay. The only time that there should be an additional booking fee is where that fee is fixed and independent of the number of tickets purchased.

The Butterfly Effect does not exist. It was a mistake in someone's figures. The Central Limit Theorem on the other hand...

The draw is Saturday morning on Soccer AM or something. WTF?

At least we can now concentrate on the league.

Penalties will be live on SkySports

No VAR tonight

Straight to penalties. Only the semifinals and final can have extra time.

They bring out the best in us 🤨

N’Lundulu scores for Lincoln.

A few for Vitesse Arnhem too last season. 30 appearances, 10 goals, finished as their joint top scorer in the Eredivisie.

They were supposed to be ready for the start of this season, then the date was put back to October, now it’s November. Remember that the Kingsland was closed for the preseason friendlies because scaffolding was still in place for installing them

Seeing those shots of hundreds of people leaving the ground and streaming away I never again want to hear about how wonderful their fans are supposed to be.

Like everything coming from China, delayed. November sometime was the last date I heard.

It doesn’t work like that, and I suspect that you know it. Being fit is a starter for ten, or in Latin a ‘sine qua non’

He’s just jealous.

Amazing! That's exactly what they called him.

I seem to remember reading that he wasn't fit enough when he first joined and some of the senior players pointed this out to him.

For us or for them?

I would have liked to have seen him playing for England but no, he chose Albania 😳
