        Southern League just abadoned the season which meant that Truro City, top at the time lost any chance of promotion.

                    Suggestions that games without crowds lead to less histrionics seem to being borne out. And VAR just did its job properly at spurs.

                    A walk in the park for Saints against a very poor and depleted Norwich. Thankfully for once we took our chance in this kind of situation, to give the manager some breathing space and an opportunity to blood some youngsters during the rest of the season.
                    Good performance, some nice goals, and another classy showing from Ings, who has looked an exceptional buy from minute one. What a difference a top class striker makes.

                      Anbody see Kante’s late foul on Jack Grealish ?
                      Of all the things that need changing in football, I think the punishment for this kind of offence needs the greatest attention. Far too often the punishment is really just a token gesture for a potentially match changing offence. One might compare to some relatively trivial fouls inside the box, with no obvious goal threat, which results in a penalty and goal along with the yellow card.
                      Sin bins seem the obvious answer, but something along the lines of a “ second degree penalty” , maybe from the edge of the D might work. Did this get trialled at one point?

                                I can’t find it online 8O, but it was your standard “ cynical” foul, deliberately chopping Grealish down as he was on a dangerous run towards the box, no intention to play the ball whatsoever. So completely against the spirit of the game.
