I thought it was a great rule and iirc the initial response was almost all positive. In the Beckham situation it wouldn't have been too difficult to modify so the attacking team could decline the ball being moved. And years later abusing refs is still an issue. The flaw was that if the kick was to be moved, the referee had to book the offending player. I think it would have been more effective if the moving of the free kick was simply added to yellow and red cards as options available to referee.

Next game is said to be the following weekend. You should have booked the outbound flight. It's the weekend before

I had a ticket for Bohs but was laid low and couldn't go. Another trip over would be cracking.

I wondered this, does future increased TV money count? Crafty Mike and his legal language. My reading of it- he's not putting in any more of his own cash, and he won't be asking for any of the shareholder loan back either.

Did he say that just before he went for a drive?

And going off the Guardian article, it took five years to get that case to court.

It's a 0% chance. What makes you say that? We can only be docked points if we are proven to have done something wrong. That will take an age to run due process. Then the FA / league will need to run their process after that.

It's a 0% chance.

He's probably otherwise occupied with goings on at Sports Direct, given one of their main employment agencies is about to go pop.

Don't forget, this would be the same HMRC who couldn't make a charge against Arry Redknapp stick.

A win on Saturday will see Blyth up. Anyone at a loose end on Saturday should rock up, the place will be bouncing. It also happens Sat is 5 years to the day since they went down

Results all went Blyth's way today. Could be all over in a fornight. Either way, the traditionally well-attended last away at Ashton could be fun! spennymoor beat warrington tonight. keeps it interesting. They are the only team who now have any chance of catching Blyth. Spenny will have to beat Nantwich on Saturday to keep up the threat. They should have been right up there with the team they have.

There is no love lost between South Shields and Morpeth after the floodlight failure in the Vase so it will be a tasty one, but it will be absolutely rammed. How long are you guys staying for? There is usually a full set of fixtures on Easter Monday, too.

We don't need to rest Ritchie, we just need to tell him not to make ludicrous challenges he's never going to win and to keep his mouth shut. Most of his bookings have been completely avoidable.

Dealt with the injured player first, then issued punishment.

No they weren't, that was just a lot of bluster at the time from Mick Tait. I'm not sure there's enough dependable local support to support a full-time side (as would be needed in the Conference)- plenty who come out for big cup games, but you need folk through the gate every week. That might change over time, but it will take a while.

Last time Blyth were up there away sides would regularly bring over 100- Nuneaton used to make a weekender of it and bring 200-300. It's a tough league though and they'd need to upgrade the current squad.

If it's abandoned without the fault of either club (as has been decided) then it's replayed as the same venue. However the FA can, as they did yesterday, order the tie to be switched if they aren't convinced the issue is solved. Rules may be different across leagues / regional FAs as opposed to national competitions as in this case.

I'm more concerned with who Pakistan have as skipper.

I keep thinking I'm getting emails watching this Osasuna game

An injury-time 5-4 win?

How he's recovered is key- he was all about chasing lost causes, putting pressure on backpasses and on fullbacks- much as Gayle tries to do but it's too much for one man. They could work well together.
