Just about remember his goal in the doomed 2008-2009 season He's actually made a decent career for himself to be honest. Had higher hopes with that loan signing than Jordan Robertson.

Dark Munster Posted 26 March, 2022 Posted 26 March, 2022 Nice to see the intercept by KWP, and a cracking finish by Shaw. I was surprised to hear that he (Shaw) has had only 20 caps.

If Chelsea are anything like the Chelsea of old, not realising the talent they have at their disposal, they'll probably sell him in the summer. Mind you if they're 'cash strapped' they may want to hold on to the likes of Gallagher and Broja.

Would have loved to have been at that game. In League 1 results went against Pompey. Ipswich beat Plymouth and Sheff Wed had a comfortable win.

Southgate knows he will get hung out to dry with the media what ever he does, Tyler made a negative comment a few minutes after we went one down along the lines of the world was coming to an end for England: build the ducking stool and hire the Executioner. With your head screwed on it’s hard to criticise Southgate when he has delivered one semi final and a final (sod whatever the route to them was), since 1966 England has, aside from Robson and Venables, been mostly Fur Coat and no knickers. Both Switzerland and Ivory Coast are good teams to dabble against, as both are capable and offer different challenges, ideal for a dabble. 1

Dman Posted 27 March, 2022 Posted 27 March, 2022 Was really impressed with the 2 palace lads yesterday’s, Gallagher and Guehi. A shame we weren’t In for Guehi.
Billy the Kidd Posted 27 March, 2022 Posted 27 March, 2022 8 minutes ago, The Kraken said: If anything, the FA acquiescing to this nonsense does more damage to the cause of head injury prevention than it does good. I genuinely find it sickening the FA get on board with this pathetic charade of pretending they’re actually doing something about a well chronicled disaster in football. See i dont disagree with you as such, I just think change starts with a small step, and hopefully some real change actually starts to happen. I mean, the sub thing when a head injury is a pretty good way forward, but i can also see teams/players taking advantage of this as tactical subs. You see players going down now with apparent head injuries when in their box defending, hoping the game will be stopped, so there is also part of players/teams also being responsible for this too.

Yes, there is that. You’re correct, teams will try to exploit it. Football teams are genuine shithouses. That said, this is too important an issue to continue to ignore. I’d rather have teams trying to game an advantage by getting a fourth sub on, than I would team forcing a player back on the pitch who is genuinely in peril for his health.

Yeah totally, and it wont take long for players/teams who keep abusing to get found out, particularly now days when people chat/post shit on Twatter etc all day long. Do we know if the FA/EPL are actually looking into to subs for this? I expect it will happen at a major tournament first, then leagues will take place. Although wouldn’t bet my house on it starting in Dec at the World Cup.
OttawaSaint Posted 27 March, 2022 Posted 27 March, 2022 Kyle Larin just put Canada 1-0 up vs Jamaica with an near identical chance to Adam Armstrong's vs City last week. Canada need just a draw to qualify for Qatar.

Our biggest star is Bayern's Alphonso Davies but he's missed most of this campaign with myocarditis following a covid infection. We play a nice game, with high pressing and quick counter attacks. We have players whose value is rising all the time. Ottawa's own Jonathon David is a real gem, he plays for Lille in France. Indeed most of the team play in leagues like Belgian, Turkish, Portuguese, MLS, English Championship. Will be intriguing to see how we get on in Qatar and as you say 2026 is here (not in Ottawa though) when the players will no doubt be even bigger stars. And as I type it's 2-0. We're off to Qatar!!!! 1st appearance since 1986! Edited 27 March, 2022 by OttawaSaint 1

There is a good poster on another saints forum i sometimes read who is from Canada, and he has been getting pretty excited but this team. They have some very good players, I’m looking forward to watching them at the WC.

OttawaSaint Posted 27 March, 2022 Posted 27 March, 2022 Canada are ironically playing a bit like Saints, well on top but missing some real sitters. Don't want to wake up any of our resident stattos but the last one for David must have had an xG of about 105! [disclaimer: yes, I know, I'm sorry...]

Fine. Stop the game. Better to be safe than sorry. Let them have a sub on, but insist that the player who has gone down "apparently with a head injury" leaves the field and gets properly checked in a hospital. I have a feeling that feigning a head injury would soon stop, while making sure that anyone who IS injured gets prompt medical care.

HarvSFC Posted 31 March, 2022 Posted 31 March, 2022 Quote This season, although there has been no official guidance given to top-flight teams as it does not affect every game, captains can again request a drinks break at an appropriate moment in the game during their pre-match meeting with referees. Remember when drinks breaks were the most outrageous thing football had seen?
