(Like, Blanchard getting the only yellow card there is wild - Cain and Tierney probably should've got yellows too (and Palace #15. And Blanchard maybe two yellows at once?) - but my god the attempts at defence are embarrassing)

What, no, clearly Olivia McLoughlin (the Leicester player already on the floor) deliberately tripped her up somehow, with her back and/or head.[/s]
(Also, RLJ was just protecting a teammate(???), and shoving is far more rare and serious than wrestling takedowns, which happen all the time)

(bonus tag for @charlieparkes.bsky.social, since it's rare _good_ news regarding a potential LCFCW injury)

Isn't it already fairly limited? (Like, you have to have grounds for appeal in the first place! Unless it's now to have another layer of permission to appeal gatekeeping?)

... I was about to be incredulous but no I can actually believe that (like, my Primary school first got an IT suite while I was there (Year 4 or 5, so circa XP's release) and I can see people my age just having not used a computer until Year 7, which just hits the Vista release)

Oh, _that's_ why I vaguely recognise him! (also, tbh, I can conceive of people younger than us (...and thus also Will from the Inbetweeners) drawing that conclusion from the toy-specific catalogues of their own childhood? Which is, uh, really on Argos but anyway...)

The standard timetable for Fast Track 6 [where the FA considers that the standard ban is "Clearly Insufficient"] says the relevant commission meeting is on Friday (claim issued by 1pm tomorrow, response by Thurs, meeting then)? So I'd guess around then?

(also, like, I guess I should add that regardless of how injured or not Hannah Cain was, there's got to be an extended ban there my god)

Correction: Cain possibly was injured - there's a few people saying that people are saying she's been seen around Leicester (that is: Not Spain, given where Wales's camp is for this International Break) in a neck brace? (though, to be clear: I've only seen reports of reports of reports)

Yeah, uh, I'm beginning to think that maybe holding a 'home' game in Nottingham was a mistake...

(... actually, thinking of it, I can't rule out it genuinely being down to a mistake somewhere; it seemed weird for the venue to only be announced [checks] 10 days in advance)

(... that's not a joke; I've definitely seen polls where literally no Reform voters trusted him, though I can't rule out his actual subgroup approval nowadays being 1% or something)

Well, you see, the way you defeat Reform is by making sure you point out how they are right about everything, and saying that they have ever been wrong ever will only further alienate people signalling intent to vote Reform.

[... who _universally_ hate Starmer. He polls 0% approval with them]

I mean, that isn't the argument they make (in public). It's the same as last time except now the headline figures don't seem ridiculously low.
(I mean, it's because they know they don't have to, there's a critical mass and they have "people will literally die" as emotional blackmail, but)

...they're saying she's too small for a role originated by Kristin Chenoweth?!
