Whitey Grandad

If he gives the Bertrand penalty then he has to give the Dendonker too.

Try and get in the way of them?

Forster in goal please.

His hand wasn’t up in the air. It was tucked next to his chest. Never a penalty in all my lifetime.

Down where? It was tucked away on the sheltered side of his body!

What a f***ing joke. Football has been ruined.

It’s a team game.

No, my mistake, it was the Arsenal game.

Yeah, it’s bloody freezing! I know, I know.

It’s more than one but I don’t have time to list them all. Home v Villa, away to Newcastle plus numerous other scares. It upsets the defence.

I hade my emails today too and I think I’ll leave the money on account. I’d like to think there would be some sort of incentive such as a modest discount for next season though, whenever that is.

You’re one of us, mate. Where abouts in NZ are you?

We’d like to be able to go to Scotland and Ireland again. It seems unthinkable that you can’t go away for or a few days in a hotel somewhere in your own country. All very understandable but weird.

Because the game is being played on Sunday?

The keeper is an integral part of the defence.

The monitor is the last stage of the process. You’d need multiple cameras from multiple angles with multiple camera operators. Plus all the data feeds that go with them.

Stephens? Please don’t even think about it. Why would you want to disturb a settled defence? Besides, it was the running from the front players that helped to keep Wolves further upfield. Once you start dropping back in you4 own box you’re inviting trouble.

An upgrade on Stephens.

Woo Hoo! A clean sheet and a couple of world-class goals

That’s all good news. On a positive note we had our vaccinations this afternoon at the NHS vaccination centre in Oakley Road. This was the Astra Zeneca version and so far so good except for a bruised feeling in my upper arm. It was only an hour ago mind you. They were well organised with plenty of marshals and a bit of a wait before going in to he vaccination pods. The whole process took about 35 minutes.

Just the one?

I’ve found some evidence of what they get paid. I wouldn’t describe it as ‘earned’ myself. https://www.eplfocus.com/premier-league-referee-wages/ This thinks they are higher, https://www.sportbible.com/football/news-202021-premier-league-referees-salaries-revealed-20200913

My knowledge of this is well out of date but back in my day it was something like £90k for which the FA had first call on their time. On top of that we’re match fees which were considerable. One referee told us about one particular referee who had been ‘rested’ for a few games that he had effectively been ‘fined’ a lot of money.

I prefer Forster. McCarthy makes too many blunders.
