    The ref on Saturday

    Correct, but the not having to leave the field if your opponent is booked has been around for much longer.

    The ref on Saturday

    It has been the rule for a while now (maybe 10 years?). It is amazing how football fans are convinced that all referees are rubbish (don't know what they are doing etc), when a lot of us don't know the rules. I had to quietly explain it to some rather excited West Stand goers that they were...

    Palace vs Man United

    What exactly is Mainoo supposed to be doing??? He is apparently playing as a 6 with Eriksen and Mount ahead of him BUT when United build up he seems to be always in the left back spot. So when United give it away, there are massive gaps for Palace to run into. Oh and Casemiro as a CB is...

    Rate Carrick's overall performance out of 10

    Like a few others, I really don't think there are many other coaches who would have achieved more with the cards he was dealt. Overall 8.5. Like any person who has to make decisions in their job, he will get things wrong. But as Tom Cleverley said, Carrick is just class. Everything about him...

    The Hull City gamble backfired then…

    Gibbo mentioned that up to 10 teams could be looking at sanctions next season. Kieran Scott was surprised how Hull could do the Giles and Carvalho deals - I wonder if they will have to have a reset next season.

    Law McCabe

    He looks a proper footballer. Carrick obviously rates him as he trusted him to play Central midfield in a 2. Very often, young midfielders are moved wider or accommodated as a '10'. In the same way young centre half's are played as full backs. I was nervous for him but after 5 minutes I just...

    He was asked this question and stated that the 4 or 5 targets were outside of the current squad

    Steve Gibson's fmttm Q and A - Thursday

    Yep, fantastic event. To add to the summary above, here are a few of my takeaways: He feels the recruitment team got a lot right last summer with talent identification. He referenced Latte Lath, Rav and Bangura as examples. Morgan Rogers wanted to move. In the circumstances it was hard to...

    Doesn’t look like it’s going to be a sell out on Monday

    I think that's the point right there. Leeds fans who live in Leeds probably don't have many personal connections to Boro fans. However, for Boro and Leeds fans in split areas of North Yorkshire, there is a definite rivalry. Thirsk for example is a mixture of Boro, Leeds & others. As are many...

    Excellent. How will the questions be structured/monitored?

    Church..

    I hope you enjoy the Mass. What are you looking for from Religion? Is it the community aspect or something more spiritual/emotional?

    Ajay Matthews - Fabrizio Romano

    The only one who has sat on the bench for months (as close as anyway) is Law McCabe. Compare Law McCabe or Ajay Matthews at 17/18 vs Sam Greenwood at 17/18. Greenwood was arguably the most sought after forward in the country and went to Arsenal before signing for Leeds. If anything, Greenwood...

    Church..

    I hope you managed to watch or follow the game. Pretty exciting game (for a neutral)! I'm not sure the level of support you are currently receiving but you always have the option to walk in at Roseberry Park if you need it. Some great people there. They can help you get a referral to the Crisis...
