BARROW V S*unthorpe match thread

[bluessupporter]

The way Covid is spreading again attendance figures won`t matter we will be playing behind closed doors again.

That won't happen.

Don't be too sure! We are being softened up for more measures including a possible lockdown.

Yesterday (20th October) there were 80 new cases in Barrow, bringing the current total in the area to 9,949.

383 new cases. The total of 9,949 means a lot of people now have natural immunity. A lot of the new cases are children. Stop scaremongering

My season ticket seat in stand sold online again to a third party. I have written to complain. Did anybody else have the same problem?

In some respects you are right. My two grandchildren - both under 5 - have each tested positive for covid - one of them on two separate occasions - so don't lecture me on so-called herd immunity! There are also records of children dying from covid, so where was their herd immunity? I'm sure their parents would love to know.

Don’t know if your seat is row h cos it happened in the seats next to me three or four people had tkts for h32,31,and I think two next to them.Two other people turned up and said these people in their seats.It has happened on at least two other occasions that I know to season tkt holders.Mr Hetherington was aware of Saturdays problem and found other seats for the people displaced but this is happening regularly and really should be sorted by now makes us look so unprofessional.

It’s official their goalkeeper used the incompetence of the officials to gain an advantage;

“I thought I’d just stand up and see what happened. I got my foot to it, and the rest is history. I was off my line, but I knew that I needed to move forward, especially standing still. If he blasted it and I’d got a small touch, it would have gone in, so I’ve managed to get away with a few yards."

In summary “I knew the linesman wouldn’t do bugger all so thought I might as well try and cheat knowing there’s every chance I’ll get away with it”
Fair play to him

I hope Mr. Pike put that in his report or can do so now.

Bolton v Gillingham

Probably being a bit pedantic, but rules are rules. The corner kick that led to their goal should have been retaken as the ball was out side the arc. What`s the point of having rules if the officials choose to ignore them?

EVERY corner taken in every game is outside the arc. One of them rules from my youth which somehow jus seems to have slipped off the radar.

Not sure what the rule now is but it seems that as long as any part of the ball is touching any part of the arc, the corner is allowed. I have seen liners check it and tell the player to but at least part of the ball on white paint and he then waves for play to carry on.

Correct..any part of the ball is touching any part of the arc... carry on lads

I stand corrected.

I'm surprised. I see countless corners taken where part of the ball hangs over the arc but isn't actually touching, to the extent I thought I had the rule wrong.
