So my shirt arrived this week after ordering in the second release back in Feb. The shirt is lovely, but the quality is questionable - where the badge is applied is creased, and not just in need of iron but the way the badge has been applied it seems. Also it came with a matchday programme which was a nice touch, however that was also damaged presumably by the courier. In fairness to the club they got back to me straight away and are arranging a replacement, and sending another programme. Did anyone else have any issues?

Not just footballers, lots of every day people having them done. Each to their own, but think the bright whiteness of them looks ridiculous

You are missing the point. The ref didn't think it even hit Grealish arm. That is a clear and obvious mistake.

This is a good point, surely the very definition of a clear and obvious error in that he didn't think the ball hit the arm. He should definitely have been instructed to go and take a look, and then I reckon it would have been a penalty. It's a baffling decision because it suggests VAR have said stick with the onfield decision - which was it didn't even hit the arm, goal kick. It couldn't be any clearer that was a mistake.

John Moss isn’t from Leeds, he’s from Sunderland?

I think what they need to do is make the conversation audible, at least to TV audiences. That would ensure there's at least an understanding of the process

At least two, first one was soft but the handball should have been (but maybe not if you follow the Grealish one?!) and the third was a nailed on pen

I would say it's not strictly "unnatural" (your arms do move when you jump) but I'm regularly told on a Saturday afternoon by referees when standing in the wall, that you can cover your bits but cant have your arms out by your side. I would say yes Grealish is making himself bigger. It's ok to say take them in isolation, but this is what is most frustrating in football - and this rule in particularly - there's no continuity. What's a pen one week, isn't the next and it means no one has a clue what's going on.

Wasn't even ex-England, he'd just come back from the World Cup (albeit a disastrous tournament) I personally was very happy with signing James at the time.

Another shocker yesterday IMO Chelsea free kick hits Grealish’s outstretched arm in the wall. Ref doesn’t even give a corner, but a goal kick. Now I didn’t see it in real time but I saw the replays and discussion after. On the basis of what is given these days I can’t understand how it isn’t. Every free kick these days the wall are told you can use your hand to cover your face, or your bits, but anything out to the side is in danger. I don’t understand how it’s not a penalty, especially compared to the one we got last week. Also, I know VAR can’t over rule goal kicks but that conversation must have been amusing. Hold on Ref, you’ve given a goal kick but we’re just checking a possible handball. Check complete, it did hit Grealish but no penalty - stick with the goal kick it makes no sense.

how dare they change the Red Cross! I know it’s a bit silly, but it’s amazing there’s not the same discourse isn’t it?

I think the problem is that they’ve talked about using seeding before and people are assuming that means it’s been used here. They’d forecasted this rain and potential storm ahead of it happening, and predicted a years worth of rain. I’m not sure they’d have intentionally dumped that much rain on themselves and wide spread areas? Or that seeding is even capable of causing such dramatic changes. I believe it only affects individual clouds, not future weather events.

I’m sure they’ll turn up, usually find them in the last place you look

Out of interest why did we have BC82 instead of a badge on the shirt?

I was genuinely looking forward to reading some feedback on his time at Bath City As ex-Chippenham I don't want Bath to go up, but would be good for him to have a promotion on his "CV" at an early age
