Reply | IFAB trial to prevent keepers holding onto the ball
at 23:00 16 Apr 2024
I've often wondered why it's never enforced. Are the refs issued guidance not to enforce it? or have they all somehow independently come to the decision not to enforce it? and if so why aren't the assessors picking up on it?
Just seems weird that there's this rule on the books that everybody knows about, that gets broken multiple times every single game, and the refs just ignore it. |

There's more than one way to win a match. Sometimes keeping it tight and frustrating the opposition, then taking your chances on the break is the best way to win. Luckily they didn't take their chances |

No. If they win their 2 games in hand they're level with Leeds, and only a point behind us and probably in better form. They could still get 96 points which could mean us needing to win all 3 (depending on how much goal difference they make up with those wins). The sooner they're out the running the better as far as I'm concerned. Hopefully they'll still take points off of Leicester and Leeds without actually catching us up! [Post edited 13 Apr 23:32]

This is the key part for me. Once you start charging for priority access to tickets, with strict rules about who can buy them and when, then you can't go letting large numbers of people circumvent that. It's a slap in the face to those who've paid for membership and accumulated the points. |

Used to live there. Missed it ever since we moved (not through choice). Summer evenings on the common were glorious |

For me it's the chance for my kids to get to see some of the all-time greats in the flesh. In my time I've been lucky enough to have seen Cantona, Beckham, Giggs, Bergkamp, Henry etc at Portman Road. The biggest names my eldest has got to see in his time going to town games would be a few of the Wolves or Fulham players that he vaguely knows from playing FIFA.
I'm too old to get excited by such things, but for him it would be a dream come true to see Haaland, Salah, KDB etc at Portman Road (even if they score against us!) |

Normally I hate these marginal VAR calls but I really can’t get worked up about this one. He was stood in an offside position for no reason other than to impede the goalkeeper. Not sure why it’s so controversial! |

I'll be there
My first away game this season and youngest son's first ever away. Combining it with a couple of days in the Yorkshire Dales before rushing back for the Southampton game.
Can't wait! |

I thought the keeper did well. It was one of those penalties where AAH was waiting for the keeper to move so he could slot it the other side. Keeper faked that he was going to dive left, AH fell for it and rolled it to his right where he had an easy save. Smart goalkeeping and one of those penalty styles that always looks bad when you miss |

Agree with Too Good To Go, although it's very store dependent as to what's worth getting. I always found Greggs bags were great (packed lunch for the kids the next day) and Morrisons cold-food cafe bags can be a bargain depending on who's bagging them up that night. Conversely I found the morrisons grocery bags to be more miss than hit at my local.
Another tip is to get to know when your local supermarket marks food down. We often get bargain meat or fish for the freezer at Morrisons or Waitrose at that 5-5:30pm sweet spot.
Finally don't be ashamed to contact your local food bank. They're there to help people who need it, whatever their circumstances, and in my experience are awesome people who just want to help their communities. |

For various reasons I've not actually listened to much new music this year, but I particularly enjoyed these:
Avenged Sevenfold - Life is but a dream
Jason Isbell and the 400 unit- Weathervanes
Creeper - Sanguivore
if remasters are allowed:
Drive-by truckers - The Complete Dirty South |
