I'm told we played them in a friendly in the mid 90s. I can't see us getting overseas moneyspinner tours in the Covid era, so book a pre-season match for next season.

Reminder me somewhat of Notts County in 2011 we used a get out of gaol card that day too and look how well that turned out. Fair gave us a great game in the right spirit, good luck to them for the rest of the season.
Anyone know what fireworks were about?

Mario turned up :-)

With my refs assessors head on I noted that the lad who was taking the long throws seemed to have his foot on the pitch. Also, every time their keeper cleared the ball out of his hands he was out of the box.

You can straddle the line, was he completely over it?
I also thought their keeper was a bit close to crossing the line, but linos are supposed to watch for this.

what i meant was his quality demands he plays every week not foden himself

Sorry, mate.

I misunderstood your point.

See that every game the liner should be level with the area as every goalie releases the ball from their hands don’t think I’m exaggerating but it happens a million times every week, handball. Won’t belong before VAR goes back to a long punt leading to a goal and it gets disallowed

On at least 2 occasions he was clearly in the D. Assistant ref is supposed to be in line but these days don't seem to bother. A few years ago in the Youth Cup final when we played Livarpool (I think) the ref was told by the FA that it was noted in the 1st leg that the keeper for them had been outside the box when clearing. In the 2nd leg, 1st time he did it in the 2nd leg free kick & yellow given.

Funnily enough, my favourite Phil moment from the Villa game was when he shrugged off Traore, I think it was, who tried to barge him off the ball.

Saw that too and liked it. In fact for a moment I even thought to myself "Duncan Edwards .." Well, maybe not, Phil isn't built that way, but at least Eddie Coleman from that time and that side of town.

I don’t what it is, but long throw ins really wind me up. I think it’s the way the player gets a towel out and starts poncing around with the ball, wasting time. It was the same with Rory Delap at Stoke when he used to wipe the ball on his special vest.

Some are comparing our Phil to Gazza. That mazy run for me was more Messi than Gazza
