Surely HANDball is when the ball hits the HAND not the ARM or the SHOULDER. Now if the ball was to hit the WRIST then referees/VAR might have a difficult decision to make!

That's brilliant, well done. 1988? My guess is its a 'Dolly', but it could be a '6 Special', 'Charleston' or a Green 'Bambo' (in which case I'm jealous!).

To answer your question is really hard because there are so many factors. Main question would be what do you want from it? A car to love and use? An investment?

Several months ago I decided to buy a new car (my first ever NEW car). I did a lot of research into compact/medium sized SUV's and I short listed five models all of which had good reviews from numerous expert motoring sources. My final choice was not the most reliable or the best handling 'most enjo...

If he is so unhappy at not getting game time (and confident that he will be able to find another 'more suitable' employer) then why doesn't he hand in his notice (4 weeks?) and become a free agent?

That's what I would do in his situation.

The subject of having a 'reserve team' playing in a relatively local league (North West England?) has been discussed before but I am still of the opinion that our first team 'fringe players' would benefit from playing regular, highly competitive football in a structured league format.

Tony, I understand SD is a very busy man but does he ever make time to watch the U23's?

Can I also ask why don't the U23's play their home games in the Burnley area?

Just to update a previous post, I now see our 'back-up' team as: Hart Lowton Long Gibson Pieters Hendrick Brownhill Brownhill Brady Vydra Rodriguez Lowton, Hendrick, Brownhill and Rodriguez are imo closest to a first eleven start. So, we now have reasonable/acceptable cover for each position of our ...

Bit of a Marmite player but I liked him. I remember sitting three rows behind his greatest critic and three rows in front of his mum and girlfriend. '...Biggins you useless *******...'

Our 'back-up' team - imo of course Hart Lowton Long Gibson Pieters Hendrick ???? ???? Brady Rodriguez Wells Rodriguez pushing Barnes closely and Hendrick is a reasonable short-term replacement for JBG but the other back-up players are not really pressuring our regular starters. Personally I would ke...

Wells has obviously worked hard at QPR and appears to have got his career back on track. He will be looking for a two and a half year deal and seems open to a move to any Championship club. Looks like the highest bidder will secure his signature.

Good luck to the lad.

Mala591

Has he retired from international football to concentrate on his club career? If not and in view of his injury record it would seem perfectly reasonable for the club to ask him to do so.

Mala591

Anyone remember waiting outside the ground at 4.20pm waiting for the exit gates to open? There were hundreds of us who had been playing in the local Saturday afternoon amateur football league. It definitely seemed to boost the atmosphere inside the ground for the last 20 minutes.

A shake up to 4-3-3 with Rodriguez and McNeil given fluid roles behind/alongside Wood. Have been concerned about Tarkowski's form recently so Long would be my choice for this game.

Pope
Bardsley Long Mee Taylor
Westwood Cork Hendrick
Rodriguez Wood McNeil

Mala591

Assuming we gradually evolve to a 4-3-3 formation we need QUALITY replacements in all the 'New' positions.

Pope
New Tarks Mee Taylor
New New New
New Wood McNeil

We also need eleven u23 players with the realistic potential ability to challenge for each position.

Mala591

I'd like to see Gibson as a holding midfield player in front of Tarks and Mee. This would allow Lennon and McNeil a little more attacking freedom.

So it's a 4-1-4-1 formation for today's game:

Bardsley Tarks Mee Taylor
...............Gibson
Lennon Westwood Cork McNeil
................Wood

Should have played in EVERY u23 game when he was 'physically fit'. Yes, even the one the day after the Christmas party trip to Dublin. Why on earth was he there when we were trying desperately to get him 'match fit'?

Ageing squad, Westwood and Cork looking exhausted, not enough 'good football brains' (Barton, Defour etc) in the team, players have lost confidence, lack of composure around opposition box, can't play effective one-two basic football move, can't shoot from outside the box, have forgotten how to slid...

Mala591

Rest McNeil for one match?
JBG back in for more attacking threat?
Play Hendrick left midfield where he looked comfortable last season?
Give Brady one more chance to impress?

I would start with:

Pope
Bardsley Tarks Mee Taylor
JBG Westwood Cork Hendrick
Barnes Wood

The decision is yours.

If you're taking that view then why bother leaving? We start off with '2020 UK trade standards' which are initially identical to EU standards. These are the basis for any new trade deals with the EU or any other country. The difference is we will also have: Independent immigration policy Independen...

We are already 100% aligned with EU trade standards/regulations and I can see no reason for immediate and significant deviation. A UK/EU trade deal should be the priority which will probably delay other international trade deals but I can see no problem with that (although the US might get a little ...

Ongoing national debt is £1.8 trillion and we pay £50 billion each year interest on this debt, which is more than the annual defence budget.

Do you think that this debt should be significantly increased or should the government be trying to reduce it?

'Labour will negotiate a 'good' Brexit deal' = inside the EU customs union = closely aligned to the single market = freedom of movement to continue = still having to pay into the EU So it isn't a 'good' Brexit deal it is basically remain.

But the Tories are telling us Phase 2 can be done in less than 12 months and are refusing to consider an extension to the transition period if it can’t. Given those who know about these things consider it near impossible to sort a trade deal in less than a year then we’re heading for WTO terms on 1...
