Whitey Grandad

Unfortunately the suspicion is that politics and political correctness might be involved.

It’s down to the granularity though. If (!) most of the new positives are in a community that is largely unvaccinated then they won’t get much sympathy from me either. If the new cases are spread evenly throughout the population then that deserves a closer look.

It was a real pleasure to be able to watch a game instead of the heavily processed version we get on the TV. I could see the whole pitch, I could see the runs of players who weren’t on the ball whether they were attacking or defending, I could see what options the defenders had and I could see the reasons why they might not release the ball quickly. The crowd seemed very sparse though and it didn’t help to create much atmosphere.

If the increase in positives is amongst the unvaccinated then why the concern?

We’re below average because of our keepers. Not entirely but it’s part of the problem.

Meh. This season can’t end soon enough for me. First half good, second half bad. Their goals were down the other end from us but they both looked soft. Having looked at them now that I’m back home I thin that McCarthy could have done a lot better with both of them.

We've just got in through the yellow gate. The just checked our tickets for the correct entrance and some were being scanned through but we were let through on a clicker. I hands my driving licence ready but it wasn't needed. 18 year old grandson didn't need ID either.

My memory is of Le Tiss and Strachan sitting on the wall beneath the East Stand during a pause in the game. Have I got the right game?

As usual for 'the UK' read 'London'. Weather only happens in London.

How many of these infections are people who came in from India? Increased vaccinations will not reduce cases in those areas that have not been vaccinated. The devil is in the detail, which we don't have.

It's a good deal, if the price is right.

Surely you have to also consider the number of tests that produce these positive results? The number of cases (positives) is not the total number in the population as a whole but only a sample of it. We need to consider all the factors such as the ending of Ramadan.

I look at it as 'we're safe, good chance to try out other players and systems'.

Never in doubt

He doesn’t make mistakes when he isn’t playing either

We don't need to win three in a row. We only need to win one in a row now.

A fair and balanced article. The answer seems to be that “nobody knows”

And quite a few on here, I suspect.

Good question. Was it an obvious goal scoring opportunity? It was hardly a handball on the goal line but... I’m sure we all have our own interpretations.

We need better than both.

Call the referee over and ask him to give her a yellow card for standing too close to the line and blocking your passage.

Yep.

I don’t hate Stevens. I’m just not a fan. He’s a liability waiting to happen. As my daughter once said of Benali, “It’s not his fault that he’s not very good”. Their goal might have been important but fortunately we were good enough to score three but such errors need to be eradicated no matter who makes them. “Apart from that Mrs. Lincoln how was the play?” There’s no room for sentiment in professional football.

It wouldn’t have been a red card but should have been a penalty, especially if they’re going to give that one against Bertrand.

Five weeks!
