I'm not sure that's correct?

If that's an AI answer, then if you put in " the ref can NOT award a penalty etc etc" then the answer will probably be different. I'm going to try it now!

Answer to my question " the ref can NOT award a penalty when the ball is not in play"

AI will give various contradictory answers depending on how the question is asked. I don't know whether your one is correct or my one mate !

..................

"This is entirely correct; according to IFAB Laws of the Game, penalty kicks and free kicks can only be awarded for offenses committed while the ball is in play.

Fouls while the ball is dead: If a player commits a foul or violent conduct while the ball is out of play (e.g., during a stoppage for a throw-in, goal kick, or when the whistle has already been blown), the referee will deal with the appropriate disciplinary action (such as a yellow or red card), but cannot award a penalty. .."

Almost relegated Tottenham not waiting around and will sign Senesi and Robertson for free. What are Chelsea doing?

Probably juggling the amount of players they need to find homes for.

Incredible the directors are escaping this unscathed. I pray for that kind of job security.

Anthony Gordon: Barcelona unveil England forward after £6...

Anthony Gordon is unveiled as a Barcelona player after joining the La Liga champions from Newcastle United in a deal worth more than £69.3m.

That £69m fee is the closest that hideous f**k has ever come to hilarious sex. Good riddance also.

To think that Thomas Tuchel wanted to buy him. The man is a genius but should never be given a job in which he is allowed to make decisions about which players are in his team.

Wait, what do you mean?

I think Gordon will do well at Barcelona. He suits Hansi Flick's style of football.

You too could have that sort of job security if the owners of your company announced you were doing a great job and extended your contract 😂

Be interesting watching him do the keepy uppies at his unveiling. Be like watching Liam Rosenior try to trap a ball.

Okay, so I am going out on a limb and will probably get panned for this, and I will openly admit that I have a deep seated distate of all things Liverpool. Cannot stand them.

So, SSN are reporting how Liverpool are unveiling a new memorial to commemorate the Heysel Stadium, where 39 fans lost their lives when a wall collapsed. The inference being that this is another tragedy that befell Liverpool and their fans. That's how I, and my bias, have interpreted it.

First of all, memorialising and commemorating the needless loss of life of football fans is a laudable and correct thing to do. But this tragedy occurred as a direct result of rioting Liverpool hooligans and the upshot of this from "everybody's second club" ( as that big nose twat Phil Thompson once quoted) was that English clubs copped a European ban that lasted the better part of a decade.

Now nobody was clean back then and most clubs have now reinvented themselves as we ourselves have, but I'd bet my left bollock that if this was something that Chelsea were doing now, SSN would have found a way to squeeze the words rioting hooligan fans and European ban into their rolling news ticker.

I’ve been to Turin and can’t explain what piss poor taste this ‘memorial’ is in.

Juventus fans haven’t forgotten and haven’t forgiven, not even slightly. This is their fans, their club that was affected to deal with how they see fit, not something to be hijacked by the media darlings to further deflect any blame or questions.

The dippers lack of remorse/acknowledgement/accountability for the part they have played in the multiple tragedies to have affected their club is up there with C*ltic and the whole Torbett debacle.

Vile club. Vile fans. Vile culture they’ve created up there.

I wouldn't mind Senesi. He's better than pretty much all of our CB's.

Arne Slot to be sacked today!

Good job we got Alonso when we did!

Liverpool are looking at Iraloa apparently.

Yes hes gone, WE SHOULD HAVE GOT IRAOLA

Do you want us to give them Alonso since he has not yet officially started working for us yet?

+1 for deep seated distaste for all things Liverpool. And would agree with every word you have written, without exception or omission

From the "free kick" site...

"The official line from the club, as voiced by the chairman at the time, John Smith, was that Chelsea fans in the crowd were the cause of the deaths, not Liverpool fans.

John Smith had told reporters that he believed the trouble to be the fault of ‘Chelsea fans’ – it was nonsense, clutching at straws. There had been fans of other clubs there, there always is in major cup finals, but not in any significant numbers.”

Always the victim, it’s never your fault

Absolutely Liverpool fans to blame, no question.

You're last comment about no one being clean back then is true. Although this is all on Liverpool, does anyone really believe that had it been us at that end of the stadium, right next to the opposition fans , that maybe there might have been a similar outcome, especially as we were no strangers to that sort of behaviour??

Either way, it wasn't us, and Liverpool tried initially to blame Chelsea fans, their Chairman John Smith said straight after the horror that it was Chelsea fans. A disgusting accusation.

I'm just waiting for the old "Liverpool aren't a sacking club and this was a really tough decision" nonsense.

Despite the fact they run Roy Hodgson out of town after only a few months that the media seem to have forgotten.

from a 'Liverpool FC book extract', Bruce Grobelaar has said that Chelsea and Millwall fans were handing out tickets and pamphlets for the cup final between Liverpool and Juventus and Heysel. 'My mother-in-law said that a lot of the people handing out pamphlets had Chelsea and Millwall tattoos on their arms'

I'm sorry but this is a ridiculous claim. Why should we be blamed for the deaths of the 39 Juventus fans that died and the hundreds injured? Some accusation to make

When Italian fans come to Stamford Bridge it's business as usual.

When Napoli went to Anfield in recent years there was a helluva battle on the streets, I wonder why?
