  1. Football. Because that was how it was interpreted and what advantage is gained by having just a smidgeon of the ball overhanging the line. It's not as though a couple of centimetres make a material difference to shortening the distance.
  2. I'm sure when Forest took their corner to score their first goal against Liverpool the ball wasn't on or vaguely overhanging the corner quadrant. Even after a VAR check for infringements this wasn't looked at. When I played, years ago, the ball had to be on or inside the line.
  3. From what I was told at the time it was also considered when MM owned us.
  4. At the start I think he had a plan in that he did recruit an advisory team of football people around him. The only problem was that they very quickly found he was difficult to work for so left and he only trusted a very limited number after that who didn't seem to challenge him or just ripped him off . I think the was also some economy with the truth as to who were financing the club with the reference to TUF on all the initial backdrops.
  5. Ugbo may have been played because Cadamateri had been away with Jamaca
  6. If you think Guardiola would do better with the squad we have then I think there is delusion there. Pederson is doing as well as anyone could with limited players and coaching team. I think he deserves a chance when things get better.
  7. We have given too many goals away this season by teams attacking down our defensive right side. There were three more today plus several others in earlier games. Unfortunately Fusire is leaving the right side exposed but I think he is playing out of position. He doesn't seem to have developed any confidence to get fully involved in the game. Ugbo, unfortunately, doesn't offer anything. Their loan striker today was able to win the ball against two defenders and lay it off to a team mate, something Ugbo doesn't seem to achieve except for a couple of headed passes today. The ball comes back too quickly so I think this is why Pederson thinks it has to be played out from the back where possible. Also, J Lowe doesn't seem to impact the game enough. So we are carrying at least 3 players who aren't contributing or if they are, very little. It's not surprising we struggle and we will do so until we can get some more players in. At least Cooper looked as though he adds to the defence and is better on the ball than Iorfa. Despite all this these are the team we have until new owners and January so we have to keep behind them.
  8. I see no one was prepared to sit near him. Right Billie no mates.
  9. Surely we have to get behind whoever wins ownership until they prove otherwise. The changes required to make us competitive at the Premiership level will be a long process but there will be some quick wins along the way so hopefully they will have identified these in a sensible and well thought out plan to get us there. Some patience is required which is not easy for someone who has followed the club for over 60 years and may not see it back at the top level but, hopefully, the journey will be entertaining and exciting.
  10. Great news. This is what supporting our team is all about.
  11. From what I've heard, Sheffield is one of the most visited (second I think) weekend destinations in the UK and Europe.
  12. I read a Star article earlier that came through an X link which implied that the loan owing to DC had gone up to around £65M which is contrary to the decrease to £54M that Kris stated a couple of weeks ago. Must say I'm confused by what The Star reported.
  13. I remember seeing Mel when Charlton brought him into the team as a youngster playing right side mid-field. He struggled there but I thought he would be good as a full back. A few games later Charlton moved him to right back and the rest is history. Would have had more England caps if playing for a southern team. Also remember him scoring the first goal back in Division 1 from the penalty spot when Wilkinson got us back there. Great servant then and now with his background work.
  14. When did we have a Year 10 secondary school business student running the club? If you mean DC then this is an outrageous insult to Year 10 secondary school business students!
  15. I’d say £2000 to sponsor a game is low. I sponsored a programme in 2011 when Milan was owner and that was £1800.
