Prem vote to reject it and return to three. Chelsea etc voted for, of course.
Hopefully EFL do the same.

Isn't it 5 subs but just 3 times you can use the 5 subs?


Yes that's right and as Clive said, one of those 3 occasions must be half time.

Isn't it three times you can substitute during play, plus half time as well?

You can use three times currently and you don't have to make any at ht.

When I were a lad there was just one sub in football which often was more than enough and most of the time he wasn't even expected to play. Subs could take an interest in the game but many would take up a hobby. Alan Bloor of Stoke was keen on reading cold-war spy thrillers - stuff like Len Deighton. Our own Ron Abbott enjoyed solving word-puzzles, which were a new thing in the mid to early seventies and seen as a bit intellectual - probably how Ron got his nickname 'The Professor'. Phil Boersma of Liverpool said he spent most of the 72/73 season reading Luke Rheinhart's The Dice Man, even refusing to come on for the last ten minutes in a league game at Highfield Road as he was half-way through the last chapter. Ten-man Liverpool hung on for a 2-1 victory which went some way to helping them clinch the title. For Irving Nattrass of Newcastle it was jazz-mags. Graham Paddon of Norwich spent half a season on the bench building a scale model of Norwich cathedral from match-sticks. The finished model stood 3 foot tall and was shown on Anglia TV's 'Out Of Town' introduced by Jack Hargreaves. Many subs would spend the game supping ale staring vacantly into the middle-distance. Some wouldn't even be seen in the dug-out at all, choosing instead to spend the entire game playing darts in the dressing room with another seventies football personage that did fcuk all - the physio. Barrie Fairbrother of Orient said in his autobiography (recommended) He Aint heavy He's Barrie Fairbrother he got so good at the old 'arrers' he seriously contemplated quitting football and turning pro while the Orient physio at the time Eric Bristow did. Five subs - what a joke.

Ahh, Jack Hargreaves - possibly the most content man in the world.* Sunday afternoons, just before The Big Match, if I remember correctly.

*May possibly have struggled with the difficult "second album". Don't think he would have cared too much though.


Did I ever mention that I was in Minder?

It will mean we may ask for some our loans to come back.
For example the Dwarf Gimili who we loaned out to Charlton would be the most likely.

Also, an opportunity for Bilbo to return from Eastbourne to warm the bench.

zzzzzzzzzz
