I think Clarkey did better than that. If you play the video on you see a little tap from him to Cashin just to acknowledge the challenge. A proper footballer is Matt Clarke

Yep. Would have loved Clarkey back again.

Certain players in the premiership and championship would just be completing their 23rd pirouette after that challenge. I think he got lucky that Matt Clarke is a proper man rather than one of these professional footballers who fall over at a gust of wind. ‘A tad rash’ is perhaps appropriate to describe it. ?

In fairness @AndyinLiverpoolthey are not suffering. Yet. At the moment all they have is a set of accounts that show an overspend and a wage bill out of control. They don’t have an embargo, soft or otherwise, they don’t have the EFL controlling their business plan, they don’t appear to have an owner ready to pull the plug and they don’t have a threat of points deductions or actual points deductions - there are some on their forum that say that any FFP problem is two financial years away because the EFL have relaxed the Covid FFP rules.
They might - the sensible ones anyway - be worried, but they certainly aren 't suffering as we have been

All these fish puns as we sild down the leagues

Derby County 4 Manchester United 4 Dec 26th 1970
Snow on the ground, the Baseball pitch like a bog, Best, Charlton, Law against the newly promoted Derby side with Dave McKay pulling the strings, a true Boxing day thriller.
Boxing day matches do not come any better than this

Do I think Rooney is a tactical genius?
No, but he's learning and has improved over last year.
Do I think he's getting the best out of the players available?
Mostly yes. Sibley and Jozwiak are possible exceptions but there may be other reasons for that. All players appear very motivated despite the club's position.
Has Rooney had long enough to prove his credentials?
It's not the time so much as the circumstances. These are exceptional times and it's nigh on impossible to judge.
Could another manager do better with the club in its current plight?
Maybe. We will never know. Without a goalscorer and with a 21 point deduction, it's hard to see anyone doing "well enough" (also note what's happened to many people's oft touted candidates: Hughton, Cook and Jokanovic).
So what's so good about Rooney?
The way he has conducted himself throughout this whole sorry process. By all accounts his approach to the players and staff has been empathetic, considerate and thoughtful. He has surprised me with - for the want of a better word - his "class". He thoroughly deserves our support.
Let's judge his football management when (if) the club is ever stabilized. Once he has truly been able to assemble his squad and started playing his preferred tactics rather than those dictated to him by squad availability and the quest for survival.
Come on Derby. Come on Rooney ?

That's the crucial data - of 7500 people in hospital in the UK with a Covid diagnosis, 129 had the Omicron mutation as of December 18th.
If (big if) the Omicron hospitalisation figure stays low or stays within levels that the NHS can handle (as it has in South Africa) and deaths (currently 14 with Omicron) also stay low, then we don't have to do anything dramatic.  The numbers infected will inevitably rise but it doesn't necessarily follow that hospitalisation numbers rise too.
