JBL blocked off
9/10 they are given as a free kick
This was the 1/10
These are really annoying when they are given, the defender doesn't have to move out of the way and usher the striker through.
All down to JBL being indecisive and just running into him

Vitinho and Assignon down the right together look our strongest pairing there. Taylor is our best left back by default (with none of the other options anywhere near) and even more so when we have Assignon pushing right up on the opposite side. Foster has looked far better leading the line through th...

Under 5'S are classed babes in arms and sit on your knee that's why you don't pay on planes or need a season ticket until thier 5
2 and over are generally classed as needing a seat, certainly on a plane. I certainly wouldn't fancy a 4 year old sitting on me for a full match or flight.

No they are not. You have a deadline at the end of each window to register a player. If the player isn't registered he can't play. The only exception to this rule is with some youth loans.
