  1. It might work and I would prefer it to VAR but getting the extra officials would be a problem at grass roots. There's enough trouble getting someone to run the line as it is. They experimented with officials behind the goals in some European competitions but they didn't last very long for some reason.
  2. He needs to scream in agony as he goes down. If you see the stills of Mason Mount going down on Saturday you can see his mouth wide open in true play-acting style. And they're usually looking at the referee before they hit the ground. That's because you're watching it on TV too. Slow motion distorts the reality and the more you se a replay the more convinved you get that it must have been deliberate.
  3. From henry Winter in The Times today: Southampton signed a star on rise in Salisu 5/ Mohammed Salisu. The Southampton centre back has come a long way from playing for Kumasi Barcelona Babies, leaving Ghana for Valladolid and waiting to make his mark at St Mary’s after Southampton paid his £10 million buyout clause. Salisu was outstanding on his first Premier League start against an in-form Chelsea, not committing any fouls, making three clean tackles and six clearances. And he is still only 21.
  4. Is there one for every turnstile? And what do they call the one outside turnstile F ?
  5. We’ve had a stopover there on two occasions. It’s ok and interesting for a couple of nights but I wouldn’t hang around there for more than two or three when there are other places to go and explore.
  6. Clear to you maybe but not to everybody else. The keeper got the ball first. Therefore it’s more likely to be a foul on the keeper than the other way round.
  7. But some keepers are much better at it than others.
  8. I agree about the ref Taylor. He should protect the players instead of trying to keep the game flowing. He got the balance wrong.
  9. Always sensible advice.
  10. Never gave up despite being kicked all over the park.
  11. I didn’t expect that. Shame about the penalty.
  12. What was Ings thinking off? No need to make a challenge there.
  13. McCarthy jumps out of the way again. I don’t expect him to save them but at least get close to them.
  14. Does anybody seriously think that this is a winning position?
  15. I love the way that he sat both the keeper and the defender down there.
  16. McCarthy seems to think he’s playing rugby and keeps kicking or field position in touch.
  17. I thought Redmond got in their earlier for a couple of seconds. Then he realised where he was.
  18. The difference is that they pass the ball to their own players.
  19. Minamino is giving the ball away a lot. He keeps flicking the ball instead of passing it.
  20. Yep. He saw a foul by Bertrand that nobody in the stadium did.
  21. I think with the game against Wolves Billy the Kidd has a fair point. There were two very similar penalty incidents and the universla comments were that they should bothe be given as penalties or neither. If the ref had not given the one against Bertrand but had given the one against Dendonker then we would have won that game, oe at least not lost it.
  22. Does it not specify anything for you? Are you doing it online? https://www.gov.uk/id-for-driving-licence
  23. I expect the club could find him a ticket (or equivalent)
  24. Spending too long sitting in front of a computer?
  25. You have to remember that in those days women tended to stay at home as housewives. They bought their food every day instead of doing one weekly shop at a supermarket.
