  1. Even if you consider it to have been a push followed by a trip you can always allow advantage for the first and then give a penalty for the second. If you haven’t blown your whistle you can penalise the latter of the two.
  2. Yes, it’s nonsense. Scoring a goal should be difficult. Either a thing of beauty, or a fluke, or a mistake, it should be something special. Just trying to kick the ball against someone’s arm or hanging a led out where it might get touched don’t have the same magic for me.
  3. You’re right, ‘should’ is conditional. Remember this question? "Should the United Kingdom remain a member of the European Union or leave the European Union?”
  4. Bravo! As an ex-referee I can only applaud you. To me it looked like a clear penalty, obviously a foul and comfortably inside the penalty area. The referee was not in a good position to see where it took place and luckily VAR set him straight. Despite what those on TV said it wasn’t two separate fouls but a continuous one. I’m not a fan of VAR and in the olden days when they played real football it wouldn’t have been a handball penalty to them and we would have just accepted the referee’s decision on KWP and got on with the game.
  5. Let’s be honest. It was a gamble that seems to have paid off.
  6. Make sure her mask is nice and tight.
  7. Can he do that from prison?
  8. Was it 'Tuesday' or 'by Tuesday'?
  9. Booing is unnecessary and unhelpful but at some stage this gesture has to be quietly dropped much like the clapping for the NHS.
  10. Glad you’re still with us Crabby and many thanks for taking the trouble to write all this down.
  11. It’s the priority for those who went to away games that I’m whinging about. And then we get told that it’s fair.
  12. Like losing our home games To be honest that’s probably my view too. At 1300 ticket holders in each ballot it’s going to be eight games or so before any ‘ordinary’ supporter gets a second bite. Of course if we were in Tier 1 there might be twice that many. I reckon I might get vaccinated before I get to see us play again.
  13. No, not yet and not likely either. If you are successful in a ballot you will get an email ticket to print at home or possibly wave on your phone.
  14. Shouldn’t they swim in? Or at least come by assault hovercraft, kayak, abseiling from a helicopter...
  15. Don’t even try to patronise me you irritating little doormat. And don’t try to be a smart are’s either. You’re even worse at that. How about trying to have an adult discussion without the snidely playground comments? Now it’s my turn to be a smartarse. You said ‘largest trading partner, you didn’t mention ‘country’. 😝
  16. We would. We are 71 years old and at the moment our lives are on hold. I am also firmly convinced that you should get a vaccination certificate in some form to prevent any reluctance from hospitality and travel providers.
  17. We weren’t told that supporters would be selectively chosen and that some would be considered uber fans. As you say, more fool me for taking the club at its word. 18th June: “The club will also ensure Season Ticket holders receive absolute priority for any ballot allocation should capacity need to be reduced at any stage”
  18. Don’t be silly.
  19. The outside of the packaging can be above -78. The dry ice will be at -78 or below. I’m sure that the manufacturers will have checked the conditions for transport.
  20. Not necessarily. As the dry ice turns to gas it cools the remaining mass. You can transport the package at a higher temperature and provided there is still some dry ice left at the destination you should be ok. Once the ice has gone there is nothing left to absorb the heat that enters the packaging.
  21. The change in terms? I don’t know but it’s clear breach of contract. Why do you think?
  22. Jab not job.
  23. Season tickets were sold well into June on different terms to what is on offer now.
  24. Not yet I haven’t. according to the club most sponsors had declined tickets.
  25. To season ticket holders in an unweighted ballot for those who wanted to be included. Once they have been selected then they are suppressed from subsequent ballots until they have reached the end of the list and then start again.
