They are. It was very tight and it could have gone either way but rules is rules. He was more offside than he was on.

You’d need deep pockets to take them on in court.

Thanks for is. Only four Covid related absentees and we don’t know anything about their vaccination status. All a bit feeble really.

I do have a bit of a bulge as it happens.

Shit. I shall be away on that date but I had kept the original date clear. Can I claim my refund from Brentford?

And make them refund those of us who have paid for tickets. Sod it, they should do that anyway even if they do reschedule the game.

You sound disappointed.

True, but they don't need supporting medical information if a large number of their players are unvaccinated and are having to self-isolate as a result of reported contact with just one invected player. How can anyone prove or disprove 'contact with'? It's easy to manufacture any number of contacts.

Delay the transfer window. Or scrap it altogether.

I thought men had flu but women caught colds?

Then they definitely have to self isolate. “If you’ve tested positive or have symptoms, you can stop self-isolating after 7 daysinstead of 10 days if you get 2 negative lateral flow test results on day 6 and 7.” The difference between those vaccinated and unvaccinated is the need for self isolation. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/guidance-for-contacts-of-people-with-possible-or-confirmed-coronavirus-covid-19-infection-who-do-not-live-with-the-person/guidance-for-contacts-of-people-with-possible-or-confirmed-coronavirus-covid-19-infection-who-do-not-live-with-the-person https://www.gov.uk/coronavirus

Double vaccinated people don’t have to self-isolate after contact with a positive Covid person but unvaccinated do.

You live in Yorkshire? My commiserations I hope all goes well for your good lady. Maybe the links will be useful for somebody somewhere.

No, but it would explain the smell

Only if they’re not vaccinated. You can blame the club and players for that.

Is that one paid by the NHS or is she prepared to pay herself? Express Test has some slots available tomorrow and Friday at Eastleigh Football Club. https://www.expresstest.co.uk/book-a-test/testing-centres/southampton-eastleigh-fc-drive-through/?testType=PCR&productType=Test+Only There is also Southampton Airport https://www.southamptonairport.com/coronavirus/pcr-park-and-test/ We are having our Fit to Fly tests tomorrow so fingers crossed!

That's why there is a Goal Area. My dad used to play as a full back just before and after The War and his job was to protect the goalkeeper b standing in front of him and blocking any charging attempts.

I wasn't getting arsey, I was expressing disbelief. I thought I was being polite I get arsey when somebody posts nonsense. Always a pleasure having a discussion with you. Have a good day

What on earth are you smoking? Doherty jumped backwards into Forster. He wasn't just standing there admiring the crowd. The rest of your post just doesn't make sense.

After. And he didn't drop it, it was knocked out of his hands.

He played the ball with what? With his back after he had barged backwards into Forster. Before he got anywhere near touching the ball he had to go through Forster's hands, whcih is 'man before ball' very time. Forster had his hands on the ball first and that's what counts as being in control of the ball. Doherty jumped in blindly backwards with no idea of where the ball was. It was a foul yesterday and it's been a foul for as long as I can remember.

The booking wasn’t for that one ‘foul’. It was for persistent misconduct and if Clattenburg couldn’t see that then he’s not fit to comment.

That was his biggest fault and probably the reason for his weird decisions. The booking for KWP came when Taylor was still near the centre circle and thirty yards away. That Emerson Royal one was unbelievable. He got robbed and then realised that he wasn’t going to catch up with play and then went down clutching his leg with a scream that could be heard all round the stadium. The ref didn’t give anything at first but then stopped the game and gave Spurs a foul long after the event. I don’t know what made him change his mind. There was no flag from the linesman.

We were sitting in the Kingsland in line with our defence and at the time Kane looked offside to me. In days before VAR the flag would have gone up straight away and that would have settled the matter. Even with the technology he’s offside.

I can’t see why anyone would think it wasn’t a foul. Doherty jumped into Forster and wasn’t even looking at the ball. He made contact with Forster’s hands first which is ‘man before ball’. There is even a case to be made that the ball was knocked out of Forster’s hands by Doherty’s arm, which would have been handball.
