If you'd read the thread then you'd know that theory has already been junked. Games do NOT get called off because of injuries, so its a completely specious argument.

I simply haven't the words. I'm so sorry for your loss.

As an aside, I thoroughly enjoyed the various exotic hand gestures by the Swindon fans behind Ashley Cole during his half-time analysis :lolol:

Cole Palmer looks like a real prospect. Very impressive.

Why ? If you've CHOSEN to sell a player, then you have absolutely zero recourse to recall them. The contract is signed, the player registration has passed on, money has changed hands, the deal is done. That argument does not hold water against a simple rule to prevent new January signings from...

Mildly surprised this idea has so much opposition on here tbh, so I will have to agree to disagree. I think the positives outweigh the negatives. It'll be interesting to see the reactions when a fully rejuvenated, expensively assembled team of new signings who are catching up on their postponed...

How is it a "punishment" by not allowing them to utilise a player that they wouldn't have had in their squad at the time of the original fixture anyway ? They'd be literally no worse off than they would have been at the time the game was supposed to have been played. Its not a punishment at...

"I heard different things" :lolol:

1. If players are under contract, then the selling club ALWAYS has a choice not to sell. Thats just fact. If Burnley were stupid enough to sell their crown jewels mid-season to a relegation rival, then that's their lookout and they would have to live or die by that decision. 2. The club that...

I'm not particularly hung up on bringing in a rule mid-season. We live in unprecedented times, and if the EPL clubs voted 14 to 6 in favour then why not ? Its not too late at all, none of the re-arranged games have been played yet and we've got a Cup weekend in between now anyway. Plenty of time...

How is he these days ?

A fair amount of whataboutery there. But on the actual case being discussed, I think its a valid point to make. I wouldn't be at all surprised if clubs have stalled on playing fixtures in order to get to January and have a chance of patching up their squad before they play these re-arranged...

Its a fantastic signing, and makes sense if they are only paying a % of his wages. We operate under a different model of course. As exciting as it would be to have Coutinho here on loan, he would only be taking the place of one of our own players and potentially stymying the progress and...

Its quite simple. Any player a club signs during January is not eligible to play in a fixture that was re-arranged from a date prior to the purchase being made. They should not have the benefit of that. If it means drafting in U23's then so be it.

In normal times, clubs can't get games called off because of injuries though can they.

Not really. If Newcastle flog 5 players then that was their choice wunnit. (might actually happen literally)

No. I never take it off.

We were far enough back that the lights at that crossing were green as I moved out to give him room. However, the Crash Bandicoot on his bike veered straight out in front of me extra early from that junction (and the lights), in order to take advantage of the fact that there was no oncoming...

On reflection, given a review of the incident, I'd say the latter. I've never made claims to being the Worlds Greatest Driver. The various scuffs on my alloys from parallel parking will attest to that. But I do drive defensively, and make extended efforts not to behave like a reckless c*nt who...
