The penalty decision could have gone either way – Maupay was doing standard penalty area pulling type things that sometimes do and sometimes don't get punished, and that's why Vestergard's arm was where it was. But that type of holding goes unpunished all the time.
The two offside decisions...
The obvious question (someone's probably already said it on another thread) is what do we do about their pacy attacks? I think one of the only times we got a point off them was when Lamptey made his debut and helped stopped Vardy. Pity not to have him or Webster.
As you say, you don't know the full story (far from it), but you seem to think you should judge the man's actions anyway.
I don't know your full story, so I won't judge you on it, but it was an odd thing to post!
They want to offload Martin Braithwaite, who'll be a bit more expensive after recent performances. Is he what we need up front?
Nothing to do with answering that question, but he's just entered The Forbes rich people list. Apparently he invested in the US property market with a relative.
I vote the Cheaterfield game for non-objective reasons such as it being one of the seasons in which I watched most Albion games, most of them away, but came home for this one. But also, more objectively, it was a fantastic culmination of the first successful season after so many dreadful ones...
I'm (very optimisticly, I know) hoping Izquierdo can start doing Solly's job. As well as his attacking ability, he also showed some defensive tenacity, getting stuck with some tackles, all those years ago when he last played.
I guess he'd be bound to get injured again before Solly is back...
Yale professor Timothy Snyder talks to Krishnan Guru-Murthy about Trump, about Russian influence there and on Brexit, about Britain's downscaling from empire to European influence and now to nation state, and about how we should try to get away from us vs them ways of thinking.
I recommend it...
The post you replied to didn't say there is "masses of support" for Trump on here. And although it mentioned the Brexit march, it didn't compare it to the storming of the Capitol. Meanwhile, you might want to remember that the Brexit ideology storm did in fact result in a horrific violent...
The penalty was a difficult call. But based on what White had done not long before being a foul and a yellow, Robertson's could have been a penalty and a red.
Kneeling at the start of football matches won't stop racism. Nothing on its own can do that. For racism to be eventually eroded away, it'll require some combination of many different factors.
Which way forward would be more likely to contribute as one of those factors: a, going back to...
After a while it becomes part of the routine and perhaps lots of people won't even notice. But some people will look and think 'oh yes, the anti-racism thing', and we are reminded that, as a whole, our society doesn't tolerate racism.
There's a lot to be said for costless, simple reminders of...
