    Tip run done, now what?

    Its usually at this point we read:

    - that midfield will get over-run

    - Vyner FFS

    - Pring not on the bus

    ???

    I've cut the lawn - well, the green tufty bits in the oasis of brown.

    Done some touch up painting - this will last about twenty minutes before the grandkids demolish it again.

    Been to the tip - Ended up being charged more for dumping some slate than I paid for it in the first place.

    With boredom beginning to settle in, I might just go and turn over the compost heap.

    A bug bear of mine, is the role of the assistant referees. What do they actually do? They flag when the ball goes over the touch line and also if someone breaks the offside line early but, do they actually assist the referee? If that is all they do, lets go back to old days and call them linesman or lines person if we want to be pc. Are they allowed to tell the ref that, from their angle, the player did a hop, skip and dive and perhaps the penalty decision needs to be considered? The overall standard of the officials does seem to be lacking and with the vitriol that they receive, it is understandable that we struggle to get people to sign up to this profession.

    Perhaps where players are clearly found to be cheating, they should be handed retrospective bans and fines. This would soon start to make players and clubs realise that cheating does not pay.

  20. Match Report: Semenyo power surge but Fulham shock City defence

    Good write up @Olé. Thanks.

    My son took me to the game and I was in the home end severely struggling to contain myself at the two excellent goals from Semenyo. My son, who is a Chelsea supporter (OK I have tried!) agreed that our midfield was powder puff (COD especially) and couldn't believe the poor marking by our defence. All credit must go to an extremely vocal away end. Yesterday was a harsh lesson in reality but, still an enjoyable day at a ground we will probably not visit next year.
