Now I'm not one for, change for change sake. But German referee Patrick Ittrich has suggested making several changes to football's rules and I'm with him on a few. 1) For a tactical foul in midfield, a free-kick should be awarded 17 metres from goal. How often will we see such fouls then? 2) If the player rolls on the floor three times and needs a doctor, get him one and make him wait on the sideline for 3 minutes. How quickly do you think the player would stand up? 3) If a player insults the referee, send them off for 10 minutes to calm down. Go cycling to warm up before coming back on. We can learn from handball in that respect. 4) How is a referee surrounded by 10 men after a decision? In my opinion, boom, boom, boom - three red cards. Play seven against ten now. That'd be fine by me. First 3 I think could work , the last one feels like he threw that in so he could back down on one mad one, but get the others through. I'd love to see these at least discussed at the Top Table, rather than naming every stadium after Pele & World Cups every few weeks.

Yep, I was away so blanked it from my mind.

As it's you, we'll also wire up a chair for Joey free of charge. Well, no fee at least .

I doubt many worried when the lineup for Lincoln was announced, you can't legislate for that sort of showing. But I doubt he feels like throwing 8/10 changes at a game against a side above us in the table.

My Brother in Law is Moroccan , living in Essex for the last few months. Caught up at Christmas at the Mother in Laws. He was complaining about the cold, I was walking around in shorts as she had the heating up to 24* !! He's taking a little time to acclimatise .

Even with Train disruption/Sunday service I imagine Swansea will bring over 1k, that'll bump it up a little. First home game since before Christmas. Plus I'm going , so there's that. I'd guess around the 10k

If it was Brent-Y But Brentry, well

When Cardiff got to the FA Cup Final, I seem to remember a player was due to serve a Ban and would have been unavailable. The Welsh FA waved the Ban and he was allowed to play. Just found this. Not sure how the Welsh FA could make a decision that on the face of it, massively helps one of their teams playing in another Country. So nothing would surprise me.

I didn't realise how badly, 1 in 15

Really thought Portsmouth was a good fit for them. Have a soft spot from their time at Braintree, I did think the Huddersfield move was wrong. Lincoln seemed on the up , but I had high hopes at Pompey. Not sure where they go from here.

Fair play to Joey , the above post proves he's an optimist, with the one below he's more like a fantasist .

I would expect Williams to start possibly Bentley , maybe DaSilva or Sykes . But our to our performance against Lincoln, I don't think Nige would trust the team with too many changes.

Pring nearly had his shirt pulled off, but managed to get a shot away. We didn't score, headed off the line, so the Ref considered it either advantage played, or just ignored it.

Found this tape from last January. Minutes or big chances per penalty since season 2018/19 (until 10/01/2022).

Nope, very late and definite Yellow. ?

I think some criticism was deserved, but even though he has experienced a lot in his fairly short career, he is still learning , those misplaced passes will not be repeated hopefully. He did some brilliant things in the first half, but whether it was fatigue or just carelessness he did nearly put us in trouble a couple of times. He is growing and learning all the time and IMO, will be far better than Brownhill, or at least he has that potential. Some of the problem might as we tire, players don't find space and offer the pass as readily. I thought James looked tired too, which wouldn't help. At times he looks like the biggest kid in school, running around the younger/smaller kids with ease. He is some talent, but at 19 we shouldn't expect him to run & Boss every game and be the finished article just yet.

They probably reduced the capacity so they can call it a sell out

Another important , solid performance. Lots of "8's". Max's handling was brilliant, Pring forcing us up the left excellent but my MoM was Vyner. On a booking and he timed tackles brilliantly and covered everything. Hope Semenyo gets some confidence from the 90 & a goal as I feel too many balls just go past him. Overall a good point, possibly deserved more. We do need to start winning soon though.

Max has been excellent today, great kick

Ref starting to be generous to Cov

Fresh legs needed

Pring looks done, time for a change

Us fans are the reason we've never been in the Prem, nothing to do with the team ..... apparently.

I'd say as Pring is wearing his left sleeve on his right shoulder, I'd say Pen
