You don't end up lying on your back if you're tripped while running full tilt.

You fall forwards if you are tripped. That looks like an arm across Ryan's chest to me.

Except that it wasn't a trip it was a block. Check the photo on the Sky site. The defender's foot is not across Ryan's leg.

The same Mike Dean that didn't have any qualms about "re-refereeing" at Turf Moor in Feb 2020 when he must have unwound the clock by about 2 minutes to award Burnley a pen instead of us having a goal.

As I understand it the bottle top rule is not in place to stop the bottles being used as weapons but to prevent discarded ones causing trip hazards when people are leaving their seats en-masse, such as at full time or in an emergency. It's easy to cause a lot of problems for other people if you...

I completely agree RH. It is an absolute insult to all our loyal supporters who have kept the club alive over the years. I've not seen any other PL or Championship club search their home fans and it should be discontinued immediately. Jim F deserves congratulation for the new initiative which...

I've always been a bit surprised, and disappointed for Jeff, that none of the top European clubs have come in for him as I feel he would really excel and make any team better when surrounded by some of the best players in the world where his outstanding attributes would complement their...

That was infuriating yesterday but the fact of the matter is that AI is turning us into a very good team.

I completely agree. If Jeff was still here he would be an integral part of our team. He's played for 7 (?) different managers since he's been in England and to my knowledge every single one of them has selected him every time he has been available.

I'm really looking forward to seeing the fear in Maguire's eyes as Antoine bears down on him at full tilt with the ball at his feet. I can still picture him and Wes Morgan both sat on their backsides staring at each other as we racked up another goal in that memorable win over Leicester a few...

If BF is only planning to stay at DC for four more seasons, and assuming that a second floor could be added this summer to the block behind the east stand to provide more hospitality boxes (a fairly big if!) ready for next season, a quick back-of-the-fag-packet calculation suggests that this...

It seems to me that another major factor in this is the extended VAR breaks we have seen this season during which the players get cold, especially later in games in mid winter, and then have to immediately get back up to speed again.

Another floor would have to be added to the existing two storey block to achieve that RH.

Pompey is a very different place to BCP. It is essentially an island with only three vehicular routes and one railway line in and out. "The latest (ONS mid-2022) estimate of the population of Portsmouth is 208,400. Portsmouth is a compact city covering 40 square kilometres. 75% of the population...
