Well, Brighton v Chelsea, keeper brings striker down. Two years ago, straight red. This season, not even booked!

Rightly so - the double jeopardy rule has long been something they needed to change. Punishing a team twice for something like that never sat right.

The problem was it was a red card even if there was a genuine attempt to win the ball.

Now it's only a red if the foul is a cynical one. Quite right too.

I get that. A penalty and a red card was, indeed double-jeopardy but I’m not sure it went straight from red to nothing.

Done some twiddling about on the remote these last two days with all the games being on firestick with different KO times, Leeds V Hull is the best up to now.

Spurs were losing with 15 minutes left, then Loco had 2 sent off and Spurs equalised wth a Kane  penalty before clinching an heroic victory.

Talking of spurs, anyone see that new sky walk thing they've built on top of their stand?

Fuck me, no thanks.

Pfft I've sat on the back row at Newcastle before. I can handle heights.

Would you clip on and have a go?

I'd be much happier abseiling down than walking around it.

Just watched a video of it. No fucking chance.

In later life, I've definitely acquired a slight touch of vertigo- tummy churns just watching the ground drop away over a cliff when filmed from a drone.

The series the world's most dangerous roads out does any horror film.

I've got severe Acrophobia. I got light-headed and dizzy just watching the video.

As part of a familiarisation visit we had a visit to the Reebok. Had a walk across the roof of North Stand from East stand to West. Also got to climb across to the press gantry. That’s much higher looking down from it than it is standing at ground level looking up.

Fair enough. I’m a bit weird I’ve done a skydive and a bungee jump and not a bother, when I looked up at the Burj Khalifa from the ground I nearly fell over

Went up the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur a few years back. When we were crossing the bridge between the two buildings, I literally had to crawl on my hands and knees at one point, and I nearly passed out when I saw the window cleaners outside. Pathetic.

Freddie Flintoff has an issue with heights and he's well 'and, so its fine for me to be uneasy with them too.

First time I sat in North Upper (cup game in 1st or 2nd season of Reebok), I ended up with a ticket on the first row and I had to sit right back in my seat, never sat in that stand since, was convinced I'd fall over the edge if I celebrated a goal (East & West upper are fine as not as steep).  I've done Newcastle - too high but not scary - but worst ever was the famous FA Cup win at Everton when they put half of the Bolton fans in the top (3rd) tier down the side.  I literally couldnt stand up all night and when Coyle bagged the winner in E/T I had a wierd cocktail of emotions, going crazy in my seat whilst being scared of falling over the edge with hundreds of celebrating limbs everywhere.  Cant believe that stand is still there, felt like a death trap to me.

Chelsea away in the corner always made us feel weird. Probably the 10 cans on my way down there though
