    Newcastle United v AFC Bournemouth

    Agree with your explanation as to the way the laws are applied (I believe you also think it’s a nuts outcome but that’s not the point). For me, the obvious practical outcome in all of this is that, where a defending player (Smith) feels he is in a bit of a trouble because an attacking player...

    Fulham away

    Please forgive the “bump” on this one. I’m still after one (or preferably two) spare tickets for Fulham away. Getting at least one extra means my mrs can stand with her best friend and I can be somewhere else in the ground ;) If any become available, please would you PM me? Rest assured...

    Fulham away

    If anyone does end up with spares, I’m looking for two more (for a couple of middle-aged non-points holders who want to accompany me).

    Nottingham Forest v AFC Bournemouth

    A somewhat harsh second yellow but the ref can be seen to mouth “it was the follow through”, ie the ref thought he was out of control. Meanwhile, I don’t understand why the selected TV commentary team chooses a pundit whose playing career is so closely linked to one of the clubs. This is...

    So… best game ever?

    For me, Chelsea away in December 2015 is the notable omission from your list. I’d have that joint first with the result yesterday given the context. They were defending champions; it was our first season in the premier league; Callum had done his ACL injured, we were in the bottom 3; results...

    Manchester United v AFC Bournemouth

    I’d hope PB doesn’t see it that way. He’s a pro and must see how hard Kluivert works. My observation (and I think AI has said as much) is that the 2 wingers and “#10” should be struggling to complete 90 minutes, particularly twice in a week. If they can do 90, they’re not working hard...

    Transport for Wednesday night

    Agreed with comments above above walking to / from East Croydon. It’s about 30 mins or so depending on how quickly you walk! Thameslink will be running. It’ll be busy but, as the line serves Gatwick, they are full length trains (and reasonably regular). I’ve messed about with other stations in...

    AFC Bournemouth v Aston Villa - Sunday 2 pm

    Has anyone heard news about Fredericks? He was named in the squad submitted in August .. and Hill was allowed to go out on loan. So surely it was at least envisaged he would be fit again at some point this season. Is there a projected date? Has there been a set back?

    Errrrr…. No danger of a pitch invasion from you on Saturday is there? (Obviously you’ll be ignoring the players but will feel driven to cross the length of the pitch from the Ted Mac shaving spotted a bald man in speedos waving something at you from the north stand).

    Manchester City v AFC Bournemouth

    I’d be surprised he’d be allowed to walk off if he’d heard a massive pop or something. Need to watch the replay again but I thought what I saw was an impact injury: Scott swinging his leg for a shot, Rodri coming across and taking the ball … and then Rodri’s knee / leg hitting Scott’s knee.

    Manchester City v AFC Bournemouth

    Not a sensible comment. The incident leading to his injury had nothing whatsoever to do with how many games he’s played. Let’s hope it’s just an impact injury - painful and leading to a nasty bruise, but nothing else.

    My post was tongue in cheek but it’s an utterly crazy world right now. The Washington NFL franchise is a case in point.

    Another entirely speculative suggestion… Modern culture now seemingly driven by “identity politics” and all the related oddities … Is there a chance that some within club (with their corporate citizen hats on) are advancing an argument that actively supporting and enticing a chant of “red...

    AFCB v Liverpool - Fourth Round League Cup

    Salah was in between Mepham and Smith for that header. Nothing to do with Zabarnyi who did very well throughout aside from one particularly poor (first time) pass out to Kerkez in the second half where he played it straight back to a liverpool player.

    Agreed. Complete speculation but it sounds to me like there might be a copyright issue.

    I just noted that it’s 18 years tomorrow since I first registered. As has been noted, during 2005-2007, not much happened on here as rednblack was the forum of choice until it was ruined overnight by a software update of some kind. I would say that I’ve read 90%+ of football related threads...
