Couple of questions? 1. It used to be that if a Goalkeeper put his foot/hand outside the penalty box whilst in control of the ball, it was considered handball and a free kick was given to the opposing team. That doesnt seem to be the case in recent times and there have been several occasions when 'keepers have despatched the ball upfield with their feet and/or hands have been outside the penalty area. Shouldnt that result in a free kick? 2. Is there such thing as an indirect free kick nowadays?

Bearing in mind Cyle's interest in horses, I wonder whether Sir Michael de Channon will invite him up to his stables for a look around?

Cyle Larin has been given the freedom of his home town of Brampton in Canada.

If Leo's shot had gone in rather than hit both posts and rebounded out to the keeper, I think we would have won comfortably but sitting back and allowing Lincoln to pump long balls into our box was always going to end badly at 1-0.

Hope the lad does well for us and is not a disappointment like Ronnie Edwards who was promoted as another Bobby Moore by the owner of Peterborough.

Christophe, Any idea the type of weekly wage your players are on at Valenciennes?

But atm no expectation he is offski.

Best of luck Taylor. You did well for us, hope it works out at The Villa.

There have always been supporters with the wrong attitude. I remember when I had a season ticket in the East Stand and there was one chap who used to shout abuse about Mike Channon in his early days and later another so called 'supporter' who complained loudly at every opportunity about Alan Ball.

Both did!! If I remember correctly it was when my Dad and I were up in Liverpool visiting relatives and Saints were playing Liverpool in a League Cup game, which we won 1-0, a week or so after beating them the previous week in a Division 2 game. Think it night have been 1961 ish.

I remember going up to Liverpool for a game many years ago and two things stick out in my mind. The first was an approach by a couple of young lads offering to 'look after' a supporters car. The driver responded with..'No need lads, I've got an alsatian in my car'.. to which one of the lads said..'is he any good at replacing wheels?.. Nearer Anfield, there was a church with a big sign outside which said...'What would you do if Jesus returned?...to which someone had scrawled underneath...'Move St John to Inside Right'...

I hope so too. He showed some potential pre season and it may be just a case of bedding in. I was amongst those who thought Larin was an unfit and ungainly striker when he was first brought it but realise now how wrong I was.
