Re: Contested drop balls

In many/most instances it could be argued that the decision makes little difference, but in the penalty area it's critical. Similarly, in many cases, the ref getting in the way m...

Re: Contested drop balls
No remedy though for when the ref impedes a Burnley midfielder who's about to intercept an advancing opponent, who then proceeds unchallenged, leading to a goal?

Re: Best route to Alton Towers?
My sister took my daughter yesterday, and her satnav took her down via Buxton (because of delays on the M6).
She said it wasn't much different from using the M6, timewise, and it's a prettier journey.
She came back via the motorways though.

Not that this should sway your decision in any way, but the school uniform colours were changed to Claret and Blue by the last-but-one Headteacher (Philip Morris) who was a keen Claret! (Just saying, like!)
