The Football.....

National League criteria for cancelling is less than 13 fit players; could make for some interesting team selections and no doubt the temptation for some last minute injuries to ensure the game is cancelled.

The mighty Sutton played and won today…I just got caught up in the crowd and traffic while trying to get home on my bike. Probably exacerbated in part by the tragic fire on Thursday partially closing the parallel road

A poor Glasgow Rangers performance today but still manage 3 points against a determined United who show the country how to deal with missing players due to injury and your forced to replace them with kids. They definitely take the plaudits but I'm just relieved we get the points. 👍

Social distancing shouldn't be a problem at Ewood, should it.

Did you get rid of him with the drum, otherwise known as Lancashire's most annoying man? I loved that song we regaled him with, "If you can't get a girlfriend get a drum."

Yeah, yeah......that one's been kicking around for a while. 😄 I think the drummer died but not sure......yes it was very, very irritating!

More importantly everyone entering the ground was checked properly. It was obvious the stewards, not the usual Ewood ones, were carefully checking Covid passes. The two I spoke to had been working at Manchester Airport - "Good afternoon, welcome to Ewood Park" is how I was greeted. I'm a season ticket holder.

Fans from both clubs queued patiently and everyone got in at the usual speed. Excellent organisation from the club and full marks to the fans for being ready and happy to be checked.

👏👏

12 man spurs draw at home with covid decimated 10 man liverpool…..

There’s a conspiracy going round that the Premier League are trying to f*ck Newcastle over because they didn’t want to approve the takeover, but had no choice so they’ve now instructed the officials to give them absolutely nothing. As ludicrous as that is, they’ve had a few decisions recently that makes you think there’s something in it... 👽

Meanwhile, Killie's game away at Dunfermline was called off yesterday, with about 10 minutes ago, due to fog. Shortly after we sacked our hopeless manager which isn't much of a surprise, but the timing is so I'm hoping we have someone lined up. My money would be on Jack Ross or Neil Lennon.

I will pray you get Jack Ross.

Lol, yeah, because Spurs have had no Covid problems of their own, just like every other club in the country; you're not unique, snowflake. Plus, you'd only lose 2.5 players were the squad to be decimated which isn't so bad now is it, really.

Anyway I thought it was a great game which only lagged for about 10 minutes in each half before being sparked into life. Sadly I predict it is the last many will see for a while as Covid hammers on.

He'd be my preference too. Way too much baggage around Lennon.

I was surprised that Hibs got rid of him and right before a final. I thought he did an excellent job with what he had but obviously they didn't agree.

Replacing Steve Clarke was always going to be a big ask.

Next to impossible. I'd like to have seen where Alessio could have taken us, but player power won and we've gone from 5th in the top flight to 5th in the championship.

Billy Bowie may know his sh*t, but he knows nothing about running a football club.

They were on a poor run of form. Confidence? I dunno they seem to implode from time to time .

He does know his 5h1t and he is still getting bigger so who knows where he will take you.

I see you have a game in hand, and its all pretty tight at the top amongst the usual contenders but I didn't see Arbroath coming. Probably just forgotten how strong they were in the championship.

Again I obviously don't follow them but I've always felt that about Hibs. Varies from year to year but my memory of them in recent times was a really tough nut to crack until Christmas.

One…..why the name calling??? Whats the point
two…. spurs had a full squad and a 3wk break
three……2.5 players??? How do you work that out
