The proof of the pudding is in the eating.

If you have any follow-up questions, I'm sure you can go along to (or submit them to) this month's "Ask the Board" session: http://www.thewellsociety.co.uk/2017/06/23/have-your-say-monthly-surgery/

More specifically, he said it'd be a goalkeeper, and our new assistant would be confirmed as well.

£20 sent.

They covered that here: Head Groundsman Paul Matthew catches up with MFC TV

Hardly a wild punt, the manager's already on the record saying we're hoping to sign two or three early this week...

Flow said they didn't really want to announce Faddy's departure yesterday, but the papers got wind of it so they had to. So even if it were to be Lasley, they'll probably make that announcement on a day when there's nothing else to announce.

Actually I pretty much have one of those, just need to subscribe to threads on the forum to get them in your email, then set up notifications for whatever email folder you filter them into...

Mibbe. Or mibbe SR wants to bring back Baraclough

So not actually Dublin at all, then... Carton House is in Co. Kildare.

Depends whose definitions of 'assist' you use, but FIFA's are: An assist was awarded to the player who had given the last pass to the goalscorer. In addition, also the last but two holder of the ball could get an assist provided that his action had decisive importance for the goal . After goals from rebounds those players were awarded an assist who had shot on target. After goals scored on penalty or by a directly converted free-kick the fouled player received a point. In case that the goalscorer had laid on the goal for himself (dribble, solo run), no assists were awarded. No assists were awarded, either, if the goalscorer took advantage of a missed pass by an opponent. Where goals resulting from penalties are concerned, the player who is fouled in the area receives an assist point (unless, that is, the player who is fouled subsequently executes the penalty himself) While Opta's definition simply appears to be: The final pass or pass-cum-shot leading to the recipient of the ball scoring a goal.

Given the number of dubious free kicks and probably opponent bookings he's won over the years by falling about, I'm not sure there's much to be gained by kicking up a fuss about it. For a younger player it might be a teachable moment, but I think we can safely say Skippy is just going to keep being Skippy, and sometimes he'll get his comeuppance, unfairly or otherwise.

From the 'fishel site: "Following Mark McGhee’s departure two weeks ago, Robinson has taken the team on a temporary basis but has been handed the reigns on a full-time capacity, with a contract until May 2018."

Just been hooked for Ainsworth. And Louis scores!

But preferably not either of the last two cup finals we've actually been in.

What did you expect him to say? He was asked a question by a journalist, and he's presumably looking for another job. He's hardly going to say he was rubbish and deserved the sack.

Still takes a good free-kick, so maybe we'll bring him on to score the winner if Skippy falls over somewhere around the edge of the box in the last minute.

Obviously can't tell from a photo anyway, but what the heck...

What happened to "that's the last one I'm confirming or denying"...?

It's not as simple as whether the guy who headed it was behind the line though. The whole of the ball still has to be over the whole of the line too, and even if nearly all of it was, he could still be standing behind the line and head it forwards off the bar, and it wouldn't be a goal.

Yes.

I'd feel like I did when Home & Away moved to Channel 5. I'd be a bit annoyed that other people were still enjoying it, but I soon found something better to watch

I don't even consider it a six-pointer to be honest, at least in the classic sense... to me that's when there are three points between the teams to start with, so at the end of the day you could either be level on points or two wins ahead. (But I know Wikipedia disagrees...)

You are Jeremy Corbyn and I claim my five pounds.

Fisher Twitter said he "looked to be struggling with an injury" when he came off, so who knows.
