I think that's the point. Imagine the same situation in the middle of the pitch. I'm sure Fonte would be awarded a foul there.

Great! What position are you playing, and for whom?

Hello, Rupert?

Hugball.

The ball has to be within playing distance of the player doing the 'obstruction' such that he could play it if he wanted to. I don't like to see it, I think the game would be much better without it. In hockey, I believe, it would actually be called as obstruction.

Thanks for the link. It certainly looks like a foul to me. If the ball were in playing distance then Nardiello is entitled to shield it but what he does is an American Football block.

No, it doesn't work like that any more. It doesn't matter for whom the pass was 'intended'.

They've probably been reading this forum.

How many seats?

Yup, suits me too. I really don't want playoffs, thank you.

Agreed, Second place is the minimum that we should hope for. I don't fancy the playoffs where anything can happen, one dodgy decision or red card and it's all back to League 1 next season.

Fourthted I wouldn't wish that on anybody and much as I'd like the loss expunged I have always fancied a trip down west.

At the risk of sounding obvious, the only proof of the quality of the squad is the position in the table. A couple of disappointing games have dampened the mood somewhat.

Oh yes!

Could have been worse, could have been better. On balance I'd say it was about the best we could have expected, save perhaps signing Mackail-Smith.

As it happens, I have paid £10. For some reason my subscription was deducted twice. And even I can't get on the forum at busy times.

So Pulis is staying then?

I would say 'not yet'. We're part of the way there but January windows don't solve many problems and it'll take another season or two for the players that NA doesn't fancy to dribble away. This is all part of the problem when you keep changing managers. Did I hear during ITV's commentary that in the 23 years that Alex Ferguson has beeb in charge we have had 21 managers?

When the fire inspector came to look at my little factory he said that the electrical boxes were a common source of fires. I had been storing cardboard boxes next to the main switch/trip unit so they were soon moved. Aren't fire inspectors getting younger? This one was only about 12 years old.

Beattie to Blackpool according to a snippet I heard on the radio whilst I was having my hair cut (do you see what I did there?)

Some sort of PC to run everything? The TV becomes a monitor and everything goes through the PC.

We need someone who can do the business between now and the end of the season.
