Again, my thoughts about the midfield. We've taken a chance and taken one off. They made 4 changes. Maybe theirs worked better.

We've just dominated the first half. Problem been not taking chances. We took off a midfielder and have arguably got weaker there.

No option.

We also have a few players unavailable. Hope Collins is ready.

Done pretty well so far? Could, perhaps should be ahead?

Anybody think the ref is a bit shit? 😁

Suppose you'd have the same time related issues. Additionally, at some point, there might be a conflict of interests. I suppose a third option is to make a specific position for these boards. Maybe drawn from the legal profession, with authority to rule based on medical, family, legal input etc.

The issue there is that many will suffer and maybe die before a case can be heard. Lord Sumption asked the question about what exactly a judge's role would be. The suggestion that a retired judge be on it would seem to be a step in the right direction.

If Blackburn suffered some sort of collapse, and were docked points is it conceivable that they could end up near enough to the relegation zone that they could be sucked into it?

Nah, no need. Unless of course some turnip launches a rocket at Israel or similar. I don't think it would take much for Israel to go back in so to speak, but if all hostages and prisoners were released as agreed, then I reckon there would be a hiatus. History does suggest that periods of calm don't last too long though.

That's as maybe, but the subsequent public discussion has been around how any panel would actually be constructed. That's the point I made: if it's done in such a way as to appease those with concerns, then that may make it palatable to them. Still time for subsequent ammendments I think, and lots of work to do. Like you, I'm wary of the whole concept, but there is also a need to recognise suffering. I can see my father in law drifting down this pathway, as I'm struggling to believe he really wants to get better, despite statements to the contrary. IF they can get it right, then fair enough. Just not there yet.

The defending as a whole this season hasn’t been any where near where it was and needed to be. I'm not convinced he'll play again for us neither- especially if the sulking comments were accurate. The king is dead, long live the King!

Dead right. Big difference in approach. Remember Rioch and his 4 strikers against Reading in the play off final. Borne out of necessity, and flummoxed the opposition. Stonking!

Already been talked about on here, but yes, on first look, a bit weird.

Not a leg to stand on, it seems. Certainly had their wings clipped.
