That’s a vague possibility. The rules changed over where the free kick Incan be taken from but it’s all very bizarre.

He must have been watching a different game. I don’t know what he’s flagged for there. It’s definitely an offside signal and not a foul and the flag position indicates that the offender is in the central portion of the pitch. Nope, no Saints player in an offside position there.

If we bring in a new player in the next 48 hours do you think they’ll be an effective team player less than 24 hours later?

The ball was blurred so must have left the foot at the time of the still frame. The frame before shows that the ball has not been kicked. This shows up the nonsense of using VAR for such tight offsides. If the assistant had not been so keen to raise his flag then it is possible that VAR would have let the goal stand but didn’t see it as an obvious mistake. As for the handball, referees are going to be reluctant to give such penalties because they know that VAR is watching over their shoulder. The ball did glance off Cash’s thigh very slightly but the essential point is that the ball would have hit his hand anyway. It was not as though the ball only hit his hand because it had taken a deflection off a part of his body. The goalkeeper would have comfortably saved it anyway but that is not the point. As clear a handball as you will ever see. There are two competing aspects here. The referee being less likely to give a penalty because of VAR and VAR not overruling the referee because of it not being a clear and obvious mistake. The benefit of doubt has effectively moved towards the defenders. And when is Che ever going to use his left foot? He’s a good player but only half a footballer.

He got a yellow for dissent even if it was a wrong decision. The referee is always right, even when he’s wrong.

Yep. If the ball is heading towards the net, go for it with your thigh but cover it by stretching your arm out just above it.

That was never offside.

Diallo’s passing has been awful.

Too many injuries.

JWP was just outside on his right.

I don’t understand that but Mason did appear to indicate an indirect free kick.

Yeah, that NHS link says “When it's your turn, you'll be contacted by letter, text or email with information on how to book your appointment.”

It varies as far as I know. I think it depends on whether it’s handled by a GP surgery or vaccination centre.

But the spread amongst the 65m would be greatly reduced and would die out more quickly. Assuming an even distribution of course.

We are both 71 and have had texts from our surgery alerting us to look out for further texts inviting us to book an appointment for a jab. Looks promising

Indeed we don’t but the less affected you are the less excess virus you will be spewing out.

Against Arsenal??

But if you do catch it you probably won't die but you could still probably pass it on.

A refund for the latest three games turned up in my credit card account today. Now for a decision in February.

It has often been said that there is a difference between being fit and being match-fit.

PLay to the whistle.

As Kruschev said about the Cuban Missile Crisis, "Reason has prevailed".

Please can we have our team back.
