The thing with admin is it's your local businesses that feel it, that's why I didn't think he'd do it. Morris has put his trust in the wrong people, but he's not a fundamentally bad person, just a naive fool.

Rumoured to be be -21 point deduction 12 for admin 9 for financial breaches.

Since this has all been going down Jim White hadn’t mentioned how well connected he is with Mel Morris.

Thoughts?

Cunts trick, should have been sent off. Yeah the guy is blocking the free kick but that doesn't give you the right to leather him to make a point.

 

[Tony Towner]

I like it...but that's just me

 

[AndyWolves]

I think the Luton player knew exactly what he was doing.

That said, I don't blame him in the slightest.

Swansea player should have been booked for that too.

 

[PuntsWolf]

Deserved it. Kicking the ball away is the “cunts trick” and the sooner shite like that is stamped out the better.

Like today, if the players want to feign injury, then the ref can escort them off the pitch and then not wave them on for 30 seconds. They’ll soon stop.

I think you are all mad frankly. It’s a red and has no redeeming feature

 

[YoungWolf]

I think you are all mad frankly. It’s a red and has no redeeming feature

Completely agree

This is about Liverpool but applies to most Premier League teams. A decent read.

Read that last week. Very good read.

Standing at Premier League and Championship games is now allowed and clubs can apply to license from 1st January 2022!

32-year safe standing campaign finally wins! - Football Supporters' Association

The Football Supporters’ Association (FSA) was contacted last night by the Sports Ground Safety Association (SGSA), who told us that the option for football clubs to offer licensed standing at all levels of the game in England and Wales has at last been passed into official Government policy.

It sounds like the plan is for Manchester United and Wolves to apply for the pilot.
Interesting that safe standing must be offered to both home and away fans. I noticed that rail seating has gone into the upper quadrant as well as the South Bank.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

I assume this won't enable us to increase capacity by any number?

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

No it won’t. The rails are the same size as existing seats. And the area used must have the option to sit as well as stand so the seats cannot be locked in the up position to pack more in.

 

[Lycan]

So no changes at all then.

 

[Alan]

I don't get why people want to stand the whole time, anyway.

Maybe it's just my knees being shit, but I'd rather be on my ass.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Not a standing fan either, each to their own but it's never been for me.

Next season we stop on November 13 and restart on Boxing Day because apparently the World Cup in Qatar is actually a thing.

 

[The Bear]

I noticed the new rail seats in the South Bank when I was at the Man Utd match. I wondered how we'd gotten permission to use them.
