Not sure if you've read Phil McNumpty's cringeworthy brown-nosing of Abramovich article in which he bends over backwards to wedge a divide between 'footballing matters' and 'moral concerns'.

I struggle to extricate the two. While I fully agree that sport and/or sports personalities should not be used to make political gestures or statements, the question of benefitting directly from someone whose success and support is founded on unethical practices is wholly different.

Although not as clear cut (and ownership tests urgently need updating and clarification to make things so much clearer), is there a world of difference between saying it's OK for Chelsea FC to gain or benefit from Roman Abramovich's blood money because they're "only" gaining in the realm of sport (which is McNumpty's argument), and saying that Siggurdson or Greenwood should be able to continue playing until they receive an actual guilty verdict and sentencing, because Everton and United ,"only" gain in footballing terms by their involvement?

Another medical incident interrupts a game, this time at Boodison Park.

Is it me or are these incidents increasing in frequency and if so, is Covid anything to do with it?

Or are we just more aware and alert to them and therefore better at spotting and dealing with them in the appropriate way?

If ever one needed proof that a draw is fixed:
FA Cup quarter-final draw:
Crystal Palace v Everton or Boreham Wood

Middlesbrough v Chelsea

Nottingham Forest or Huddersfield v Liverpool

Southampton v Manchester City

Two years of sitting at home eating Kettle Chips while watching Netflix might also have something to do with it

I thought the opposite. The fact that they are all away from home makes it a tasty round. City, Chelsea and Liverpool will all be nervous about those games.

Huddersfield going 2nd in the Championship.
1 point ahead of Bournemouth, who have 5 games in hand, although they are well placed versus the rest (apart from Fulham, obvs).
Too tough to get out of; easy to return to.
