As we've reached that point in the year once again - has anyone appointed to do a BUCS Varsity fixture at all? I'll be heading to Gloucester for a 10am Kickoff on Tuesday (means I've 6:50am train to get) for the Gloucester - Worcester game in our sport.

I’d be flagging that in our sport as a nailed on example of Pass Interference

And the integrity of the game?

I call it the “Roger Milford Paradox”

No excuse for not applying Law though is it?

Would have been his 2nd Yellow after the first half dive?

Interesting that Lineker has mentioned they might be looking at the wording of the Law RE: Handball for next season
