Exactly. Its like the rule about the keeper moving off his line. If he makes the save then it has to be retaken. If the pen is scored, then everybody shrugs.

This might be the most "First World Problem" I've ever read. What a faff. Can't you just mince your way down there in your dressing gown 20 minutes before you start work, and switch it on MANUALLY ? There are people living in mud huts trudging 6-mile round trips to bring a bucket of water home...

I've read this three times and still have no clue. Are the words in the right order ?

Yeah. YOU try telling them that.

All probably true. Doesn't alter my point that footballers do go straight to ground faceclutching if someone blows on one of their eyelashes though. It's in their DNA. Adam El Abd was a master at it, despite him being built like a bison on steroids.

And (more often) I've seen them NOT sent off for that. Shoving matches are hardly uncommon. Its football FFS, not a Mumsnet knitting circle.

Well I'm of the opinion that if it WASN'T an actual intentional "punch" in the face (which you will not convince me it was), then its not a red. He just swiped at the ball and missed it, as Billy was dicking around playing Harlem Globetrotters with it. There was no intention by Wissa to actually...

As you rightly say Norgaard was a big miss, he's their primary playmaker. Without diminishing Gross's contributions, I'd say Norgaard is an even more vital cog for them. We have more creative players to call upon - they clearly don't. So anyway, I was delighted Norgaard was suspended for our...

The very notion that Wissa swung a full-blown Mike Tyson haymaker of a fist at Gilmour's FACE in order to lay him out is just a ridiculous view to take. He went to swipe the ball off him, missed, and brushed Gilmour's chin in the process. Thats all. There was no intent to "clump" him. I suppose...

EDF P&R is a godsend. Got there at 6.15, on a bus by 6.30 and it took around 45 minutes, mainly down to the weight of traffic on the A27 approach to Falmer, and the bottleneck going up to the Falmer sliproad (WHY are the P&R buses not allowed to take the left lane to the top and cut in at the...

Its not a "fist" at all (and I should know). I felt at the time his intention was to knock the ball out of WBG's hand, and the replays confirm it. WBG turned at the same time as shielding the ball away, and Wissa's hand accidentally brushed his chin. Being a footballer, of COURSE he immediately...

Well, I've done an ABOUT FACE Being as the EDF P&R is in operation, I shall be reporting for duty after all.

Its starting to become a struggle to find cashpoints now innit. Now that Barclays and Lloyds have copped off from Southwick Square, the only cashpoint there is at the Co-Op, and its a bit of a shonky one at that.

My parents don't have smart phones, they point blank refuse to upgrade from their old dumb-phones cos they "don't want anything complicated". :rolleyes:

The Lloyds in Boundary Road closed down recently as well. In fairness, its once in a blue moon I actually go into a bank (on the rare occasion someone who is still living in 1987 sends me a cheque). Online banking all the way for me, although I appreciate a lot of the wrinklies aren't as up to...

Should make the streams on IPTV even easier.

Mmmnah. I don't think so. Blackpool is an utter hovel. The fact that northerners flock to it is neither here nor there. I would rather palm-slap a spoon into my left eye socket than spend another weekend milling around in that Benghazi wannabe.

In fairness, Blackpool makes Brighton look like Monte Carlo.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/67596738 Forest Green's FA Cup second-round tie at Blackpool on Saturday has been postponed due to a Football Association investigation into League Two club Rovers. A statement from Forest Green said they would "comply with the FA in their investigation"...

Or lack of one...
