So stop all travel of all sorts then. Do you really, seriously m think that stopping all flying would make the slightest difference to the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere? Bigger forces are at play.

There’s no point in not playing because you’re worried about injuries. The whole point of having a professional football club is to play games. Holding them back would be like having a shiny luxury car in the garage and not driving it because you’re afraid of getting it scratched.

I suggest you check your figures. Banning all flying is not going to make the slightest difference to the planet. Reducing the population would.

You’re right. My point was that if the referee thought of stopping the game to award a foul against McTominay then he would also have had to caution him for a second time and send him off. Of course this should never affect your decisions but I imagine that he didn’t think it woulda to a goal.

You seem to think that the only reason for flying is to go abroad on holiday. What about all the domestic flights and all the car journeys they save?

Yes, flinging himself to the ground was ridiculous but for anybody to claim that it was accidental is equally as ridiculous. McTominay makes a separate distinct movement with his forearm and flicks his hand into Son’s face. If the referee had blown up there and then and cautioned McTominay nobody could have complained. Edit: Wasn’t McTominay already on a yellow and therefore would have been sent off? Seems fair and just to me.

Yes he is a Jimmy. Red haired too. He was in the same class as our daughter at Hiltingbury Juniors and used to sit next to her.

Dangerous play used to be an indirect free kick, which would have been fun

Actually more efficient than road travel.

True. His badge is usually stuck to his lips.

3 or 4 days would be a bit too long, I think.

There’s plenty of choice. How about, Vincent Lopez, “I'm Just Wild About Harry” Mamie Smith “Royal Garden Blues” Marion Harris, “I Ain't Got Nobody”

I saw a suggestion that the point of reference should be the badge on the shirt. After all, that’s what is used for athletics races.

True.

Troo dat. But only in a very limited and specific way.

I’ve signed. It so much for the political reasons but because it is such a stupid place and season to hold it. It goes against all footballing traditions and I cannot believe that corruption is not involved. I have no evidence of any such thing of course in case any lawyers are reading this.

Justice is served. Should have been a red card too for Fernandinho for that challenge on Raphinha in injury time. Not because it would have been a goal scoring opportunity but because it was pure assault. He kicked the other player when the ball was nowhere in sight.

Is anybody else having problems with these commentators? The bastards won’t stop talking. If they were sitting next to me at a game and rabbiting all the time they wouldn’t last the game. (BT Ultimate)

We have those around us, especially on Sundays. The Channel Island flights sometimes route over our house but they’re not a bother since they’re over and gone an if they’re low they’re on landing approach at low power. The most annoying are the single engine training flights in summer. They do a two minute holding circle over our house and that drives you round the bend. I think they are centred on the Draper Tools head office.

The curse of slow motion strikes again. Video Assisted Red card there.

Shortest distance from train to terminal of any airport in Europe.

I’ve just remembered that in my dealings with the airport many years ago just after it was modernised we talked about the runway and they told me that it needed widening rather than extending. This was to allow the larger 737s and A320s to land. The large hangars will handle a 737 but the tail fin sticks out a bit.

Thanks for the info. This is the trouble with statistics like these. It’s what you read into them that matters, plus what action is taken as a result. As the old saying goes, one person’s death is a tragedy, the death of thousands is a statistic.

But when is the ball ‘kicked’? When it is first touched by the boot or when it has actually left the boot?
