Clearly the right decision but this happens 10+ times every game throughout football and nothing is done to stop it .

The football authorities have only themselves to blame by allowing corners , especially, to become a free-for- all rugby scrum , in fact rugby scrums are far more disciplined !

We radically changed almost half the squad in January and although most seemed like upgrades on paper compared to the players that left, the problem was, we didn't have enough time to get them all up to speed on the way we do things, on our formation/tactics, and on the important positional nuances that are so important for our approach.

You could also argue few, if any of...

If you're needing an adult the ticket office will exchange it if you pay the difference and I've also done this at the home ticket office before the game.

Unless anyone else has a spare themselves and I'll happily buy it from you and take my lad over?]]> 3 Take Me Home “ Live Podcast from the Record Cafe Sat, 09 May 2026 07:32:43 +0000 https://bantamtalk.com/threads/take-me-home-%E2%80%9C-live-podcast-from-the-record-cafe.9974/ https://bantamtalk.com/threads/take-me-home-%E2%80%9C-live-podcast-from-the-record-cafe.9974/ invalid@example.com (Kevin1954) Kevin1954

If it was to be brought in then as a professional league it should mean the EFL would have to adopt the rule which I'm really not sure how it would work as I doubt there are many home grown U21 players playing regular minutes in League 1 and 2 especially in those teams who don't have an academy.
