    Surely not?
    I don't know what each tier restrictions are in place down there, but it wouldn't be allowed here.
    Depending upon who you are of course - the Tory leader here is also an SFA linesman - much to the disgust of many, he travelled out of his tier 1 home area to run the line in a match in tier 4 Glasgow. Not a peep from the authorities.

    It's funny how language changes for odd reasons. SSN reported earlier that Troy Deeney has been nominated for inclusion in a Black List.
    In my day, that meant something entirely different...

    Those saying that are either telling porkies or have poor memories. The run in at the end of my first season, 1962/63 - 12 points out of a possible 40 was the worst run and some of the worst football I've ever seen, but I thankfully never saw the 1971/72 season when in one spell we managed four points out a possible 38.

    Maybe it’s just expectation but then you can point to the Vialli era !

    I guess we do have some expensive well paid attacking players not performing.

    And the manager doesn’t seem to be the most public pleasing figure .

    Like most, they probably just have to learn where to dive - you only get penalties if you do it in the penalty area, and even then not always. I was really surprised yesterday at the number of times Preston players fell over after minimal contact and were awarded free kicks - all over the pitch really, except for where it matters. I began to think we were playing a team of fainting goats - or 11 Quinas...

    As for those Stoke fans demanding that clubs be fined and six match bans for players - how deluded are they? Far worse happens on the pitch that doesn't attract that level of punishment - they should know as Stoke used to be one of the biggest culprits. And don't start me on the idiot who wants games to be refereed by computer...<doh>

    Solankes dive for Bournemouth would have put Mo Salah or Mane to shame
    But then again that is Bournemouth they will never change

    Who enjoyed Jurgan Flopps total meltdown
    Just imagine forcing his underpaid slaves to play football twice a week
    They would never get away with that in the ELF

    Yes we can, we can watch it free on hive if we are STH.
    I don't have sky so quite happy. BTW, when watching hive I find if I have the website hive open but actually watch it via the hive app that seems to help.

    Oh I don't know - those Stokes fans who were complaining about our penalty on Saturday watched it on Sky as it happened, even though it wasn't on Sky. Maybe ask them for their secret...:)
