    I actually thought it was the right decision. Totally unintentional I agree but the defender had at least a 50 /50 chance of getting to the ball had he not been clipped. Unintentional but still a foul.

    Now you’re talking , but we all know that’s not the answer, because they will find other ways of remunerating . Steve Evans , remember him and his antics in its crudest form.

    Oddly The PFA was said , under Gordon Taylor to be one of the most financially bereft unions in the world . 1% of all TV Sky money and where did it go , and they did knack all to look after player welfare . Source Simon Jordan on Talksport .

    Will be interesting to see what happens with him being out of contract and probably out of action until November /December.

    I'm sure many of the older City fans remember the night Valley Parade became a wrestling venue for the night, bringing over several well known Pakistani wrestlers, I believe it pulled in a bigger attendance that the football did at that time.

    Yes! I went to VP to collect some tickets a few years ago and saw Kai Brunker driving a very clapped out Ford Fiesta!

    Famously Rodri used to drive a second hand Vauxhall Corsa for quite a while. Apparently now upgraded to a Mercedes C class.

    And just as famously. Ngolo Kante was driving a Mini Cooper when he played for Chelsea

    It was one of those that could go either way in the days before VAR. The ref did not give it or he would have blown his whistle. Not sure how close he was, but he should be up with play.

    When VAR came in it was to “eradicate blatant errors” If only they could have followed cricket where even if they see the ball hitting the wickets, it might not be out due to “Umpires decision” in order to maintain the norms of the game. The ball’s stitching needs to be firmly on the wicket to get an out on LBW.

    The Stockport lad who scored accidental clipped him, no intention they happen, but it annoyed me as it wrecks the rhythm of the game, and should not be used as the be all and end all of all decisions, to use it wisely. The fans no longer trust it, and that is because faceless ppl are coming back with their several looks and slow motions frames and delivering a verdict.

    All about image, a clapped out Ford Fiesta sounds about right for Kai.

    Accidental or not it’s classed as a foul . Yes for sure it was accidental . The refs issue is he was too remote from the incident . All the slo mo’s show he clipped his foot, no question. I’ve seen dozens like that at VP over the years and a ref would give a trip 99/100.

    Salford set am unwanted record yesterday. They were the first team since the play offs began to have the most wins in their division and not achieve promotion.

    Staggering data, especially when it’s three points a win ?
