so what are the actual repercussions when "off the field"  people get booked ? 

After the sendings-off, they’ll be banned from the touch line / dugout for a few games.  And probably fined the football equivalent of 50p (ie £10k) for something-or other.

Very happy with 2-2, given what normally happens when we play Chelsea.

Interesting in that even in the heat of the moment, that if a goal scorer takes his shirt off and runs around in celebration he will be booked - But in the heat of the moment the ref did not book (or did not notice) Tuchel when he left his 'area' 

Also interesting to note that VAR looked at Cucurella being dragged to the floor in an 'off the ball incident' but it appears to be okay for that to go on 

Certainly a feisty encounter at times - At times Chelsea looked very good - At times they just looked nasty as well

Chelsea didn't have that many shots on goal in the first half, for all their possession. In past years we would have folded and only pushed half-heartedly for an equaliser, we now have some steel and endurance.

As for the ref, well, we've had the shitty end of the stick against them enough times over the years. Thomas Tuchus should have had a second yellow for running out of his area after their second goal, they don't seem to mention that. 

I would have been happy with a point before the game, so I'm happy with a point after the game.

Do you mean the incident in which Cucurella’s (clearly too long) hair got caught up in Romero’s hands, and he then threw himself to the ground when Romero tried to shake his hands free of all the hair?

arrrgh I see that now - Good observation 

It does appear both managers now got red after another confrontation after the game

VAR has no authority for incidents like that. Red cards, penalties and goals are the limits of its remit, I believe.

The repercussions are grim

Watching the Forest West Ham highlights again, I don't know how we didn't get three goals. Oh well. Brighton next, whom we always lose to.

Wow - So FFL gets the Everton job, buys Dele Alli then barely a few kicks of the ball later and it looks like he is going out on loan - Could pass comment about what that implies for both Alli and FFL

Possibly The Royal Oak? Anyway, it was rotten - although the locals were friendly, which was a pleasant surprise.  

The Waggon and Horses (in nearby Smethwick) is the worst pub I've ever been in.. it was literally rotten and got closed down. The Royal Oak is the Ritz in comparison . 

Now I'm an oldun I just get in the car and drive home straight after the game. I can't be bothered with all the messing about in pubs.. although I do love a mixed grill.

Is the Waggon the bright blue one with the plastic windows and no furniture where people just stand outside?

That's the one. In 30 odd years of drinking, it is undeniably the worst pub I have ever been in. Brilliant people though.

As I was passing just now I thought I'd grab a photo of it. Folks may find it hard to believe but if anything, it actually looks better now it's closed down than it did when open

Nothing.

Everton “bought” Dele from Spurs, but with future payments tied to how many games he played, goals he scored, times he captained Everton to winning the CL, that sort of thing.

Apart from his wages, and getting him a new shirt of his own, he’s not cost them much.




They’ve still been robbed though.

Don’t know where the brilliant-footballer-formerly-known-as-Dele-Alli went.  Sad case

Oh right; an arrangement.

I thought he scored to keep them up or something though. I might be way off actually.
