    Some proper hard cases in Block 5.

    Home fans in South Stand v Preston - Trial Confirmed

    If I understand it correctly, the safe standing needs to be in the corner because of sight lines etc. So you can be in the standing area or next to the away fans, but not both?

    Home fans in South Stand v Preston - Trial Confirmed

    FFS I was asking to clarify whether blocks 6-8 will always meet our obligations to house away fans or whether there will be occasions when we will be obliged to give them more? I am very much hoping that we can permanently restrict away fans to a corner of the ground, because I hate seeing them...

    Home fans in South Stand v Preston - Trial Confirmed

    This is great news. How many do blocks 6 to 8 hold, and is that always going to be sufficient to meet away fans requirements?

    Transfer Rumour Haji Wright

    Am I alone in thinking that the keeper might have got his sprawling fingertips to Haji's close-range one that hit the post?

    Or free mingling, with complimentary beer and scotch for home and away fans in the corner and the South Stand.

    Allen injury

    I was in the West End at Highfield Road, and during the match couldn't stop my mind wandering to the people on that ferry. They were saying at the time that they might get rescued from air pockets in the sunken ship, but I never thought it was likely and sadly I was right.

    Allen injury

    I seem to recall it was a freezing day, and as the match was being played rescuers were trying (and failing) to save a lot of poor souls from the bottom of the English Channel after the Zeebrugge ferry disaster :(

    No way could he mess around like that with the nasty injury he got.

    Transparency Peterborough transfer talk

    An insider tells me our scouts have been closely monitoring this stand-out striker in the IceFloe Divisie (Antarctic third tier). Free agent, plays anywhere across the front three, head and shoulders above anyone else in the league. Surprisingly good vision. His teammate on the far right...

    Allen injury

    Probably a bit easier, but it would depend if they were still going to draw such narrow lines. If so, you'd still have that millimetre judgement as to whether there is 'clear space' or not. I think the lines should be wider / fuzzier, and in the case of overlap, give the attacker the benefit of...

    Allen injury

    You either go with the officials' judgements by eye, or you use technology. The point I was making is that if you change the offside rule to 'clear space' between defender and attacker (as opposed to part of the attacker being ahead of the defender) you don't make it any easier to judge. You've...

    Allen injury

    You would need lines to determine whether there was clear space though.
