View from the Dolman

You seem to be operating on the assumption that to be a good coach you need to have been a good player. I saw this tweet from the former Aussie cricketer Jason Gillespie which sums up the naivety of that mindset.

According to Ryan Morgan, they asked him and he said it's Micky.

Matches that end in a draw after 90 minutes go to penalties to win an additional point.

The England website has a match report - https://www.englandfootball.com/articles/2021/Oct/06/england-mu19s-france-match-report-20210610 - so looks like that fixture list is incorrect. This article - https://www.englandfootball.com/articles/2021/Oct/01/Ian-Foster-names-England-Under-19s-squad-October-20211001 - says it was France yesterday, Mexico on Saturday and Belgium on Tuesday.

After some confusion over his whereabouts, Prince Henry is playing for Weston-super-Mare and has scored tonight:

There will still be a handful of matches played at Ashton Gate. Playing games at the HPC has replaced playing games at SGS Wise (or Twerton but not sure if fans were ever able to attend those due to Covid) The club has arranged a special bus service to the HPC for match days to allow for easier access: https://www.bcfc.co.uk/travel/hpc-travel/

As was Antoine before anyone decides to take that path.

He signed a four year contract when he arrived in August 2020: https://www.bcfc.co.uk/news/welcome-williams-midfielder-arrives-in-bs3/

Isn't it going to be related to the sizing? There are limits on the number and sizing of any sponsorship appearing on kits. https://handbook.fapublications.com/#!/book/45/chapter/s8700-kit-and-advertising-regulations/content?section=s8701-a-general

The club did say in April that this area of the stadium would no longer operate on an unreserved basis so it's not exactly a surprise revelation. https://www.bcfc.co.uk/news/price-freeze-202122-season-cards/

Where does he come into things? He doesn't own Sky any longer.

Utterly bizarre. Pretty sure this is the definitive "yer da's taking the divorce well" video. He's actually lost the plot.

Rooney in an interview with Sky Sports saying he learned of last night's developments by watching it on Sky. You'd think somebody from the board would have given him the heads up between the filing and the statement being released several hours later.

Are you sure the 12 points could be carried over? That only appears to be possible if the deduction happens after the fourth Thursday in March from my reading of the EFL regulations.

Special programme coming up on BBC Radio Derby at 9pm: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/live:bbc_radio_derby

Under the Uefa regulations, the 3pm blackout can only apply when at least 50% of the top 2 division matches are being played so there's no restrictions this weekend. That's also why iFollow can offer the game in the UK today.

Bristol Rovers (1883) Limited has filed its confirmation statement confirming who owns its shares... https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/04501223/filing-history/MzMxMDUxMDQwNWFkaXF6a2N4/document?format=pdf&download=0 Well I guess the honesty is admirable...

Yes. https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/08462753

Also League 2 barely gets a televised game at all - mostly treated as scheduled fillers during international breaks at best.

They've reduced the number of T20 Blast games being televised. Obviously this isn't any kind of attempt to make the Blast less of a success as The Hundred arrives...

82 overs were available for the run chase, it was completed after 78.2.
