At that same game there was 45 minutes injury time because it took that long for an ambulance to get to the ground from about 2 miles away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wendyredredrobin Posted May 11, 2020 Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 From Wednesday you can go out and play sport together as long as you’re all related. I wonder which football club will be the first to qualify for this exemption. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
