Offside wasn't introduced to look at mm between players who are sometimes on different sides of the pitch.

It wouldn't have been possible at the time but no it wasn't. Its where we are though, there won't be any going back now.

You realise that almost everything on the planet has changed since then?

No doubt intense speculation will commence on Twitter.

We don’t have 2 19 year olds do we..?

Edit - yes we do

 

[Tony Towner]

Every PL team does depending on how clickbaity they are with the headline

 

[Tredman]

If twitter is to be believed we were the only home team with 2 19 year olds in their squad this weekend.

Something something castration.

Would be plenty of players at home games who aren't in the squad, nothing in the article says they'd played that day.

No it was last weekend. Luton, Villa, Wolves, Sheff Utd, Everton Palace, Fulham.

In any case they said it was Saturday for the first boy and Sunday for the second.

 

[Tony Towner]

There are only 3 PL teams that played on Saturday at home. If the reporting is accurate with regards to the ground rather than the training ground, which I wouldn't be too sure of given the source, then it doesn't look great

 

[Tredman]

First arrest on Friday though and we played on Saturday.

 

[Del Woppio]

Well whoever they are, and however talented, if they're guilty then I hope they never set foot on a pitch again, and the club involved to make some serious effort in supporting the victim

That's not what that Mail article says. The incident happened on Friday night

 

[Tredman]

It’s really badly written, no surprise there given then source. It doesn’t appear the offence occurred in the ground, just that the first player was arrested there.

This isn't how I read it, but hope you're right. Shit is bad enough without staining Molineux (or whichever stadium).

I've read reports they were arrested in Barnet. Now who has a ground/ training ground around there?

Arsenal look like the closest Prem side to that area, assuming I can read maps.

Was gonna post a link, but it's disappeared now, so not sure whether trustworthy.

Wolves have issued a statement to clarify that the allegations do not relate to any of our players

Had to do it as 3 or 4 of our players names were flying around Twitter last night. Social Media Sherlocks acting as if they had the facts.
