Tips for Tikay

I forgot to mention the TD catch that Wallace made by controlling  the ball with his knees, that's a good pic of it.

Does he have to "control the ball", & does that count as controlling it?

[bobby1]

He needs to have control of the ball and still be in bounds maintaining control, the ball kind of juggled between his legs as he rolled over which is why he had to reestablish control and be ruled in bounds too, which he was. If he rolled over and the ball had stuck between his knees and stayed there I am not sure if it is a TD or not, I assumed it would be as the control would have occurred with knees but not sure now I think about it.


We need Tighty and a big rule book.

I can't imagine a ball stuck between the knees counts as "controlled".

Control -   To exercise authoritative or dominating influence over

He was clinging onto it by his kneenails.

"To control" and "To have control of" are arguably distinct.

Shush, I nearly got that through.

PLAYER A

Lets assume Player A is on good form, very good, playing well and has scored lots of goals in the last 12 months, infact he has 20 Premier League goals in 29 games in 2012, impressive stuff.  He also has 12 International goals for a good, well respected country in the last 12 months or so.  Player A also likes Tulips.


PLAYER B

Lets assume Player B is also on good form, very good, playing well and has scored lots of goals in the last 12 months, infact he has 14 Premier League goals in 26 games in 2012, impressive stuff.  He also has 12 International goals for a good, well respected country in the last 12 months or so.  Player B likes Norfolk.



Player A does play for a better club side though, but perhaps this countered by the fact he will get less minutes on the pitch through being rested etc, Player B's side does not have this luxury.

Both Player A & B have 8 Premier League goals this season.


Player A is 2/9 to hit 20 Premier League goals this campaign.

Player B is 9/2 to hit 20 Premier League goals this campaign.


One of the above prices is way way out. Discuss.

Would Player B be Simeon Jackson?

Harsh!

Canada ARE well-respected. Just not as a Footballing nation.

Whilst we are on "discuss this price"......


The Palace game, v Derby.

I’m in a bit of a spot here.

Palace have been repeatedly mentioned as a good thing in this game, & I don’t doubt that.

Ant knows more about Palace then all of us, & he’s dead keen, but then he would be, would he not?

Others have supported his view, or not, its split pretty even. For sure, 3 or 4 months ago, deffo last Season, we’d have had a MAX here.

I have no view, though even I can see they are a worthy favourite.

But is the price value?

Is their form not fully exposed, the Bookies know all there is to know, & we don’t have access to any info they don’t?

The price opened at around Evens, & has barely moved in 3 days – they are still close to evens, in fact we can get Evens or better in 2 spots.

If the price is so good, why has everyone not piled in, & moved the price? Surely if they really were a 4/6 shot, the price would have long gone?

What am I missing?

I have total respect for Canada, my sister recently retired as a Director of The Vancouver Island Health Authority, and I love the place, but Simeon Jackson has only scored six goals for them.

Ha, no.  Its not meant to a quiz or anything, just highlighting facts before assumptions are made about will they/wont they knowing who they are.

Player A is Van Persie.

Player B is Suarez. (2x hat-tricks in Norwich)


They need 12 in 27 games.
