It's Andre Wisdom. He's been driving around the Peak District for the last 24 months and has only just found his way out.

Peterborough win and we HAVE to draw. If we lose, we're gone. We're only 2 points ahead.

Maybe the 4th official saw it... End of the day, between the 4 officials they correctly identified the offence and offender. Isn't that the sort of thing that we should be praising in football?

Just reading through this thread for the first time and thought I'd offer a perspective from someone who referees most weekends at a senior county level. I'm not picking on you @Unlucky Alf but your post above and the conversation around it with @AndyinLiverpoolraises a couple of points. 
Firstly, you're both right in a way on this. Most handballs are not handballs because they are not deliberate and do not lead directly to a shooting opportunity. However, a handball that is not deliberate can be pulled up if the referee's personal interpretation is that the player's body was made unnaturally bigger unless it was part of his overall movement at that moment in time (ie if he was swinging round/changing direction it is natural to assume his arms might be out rather than by his side. 
The other part to it is if the hands are deemed to be in a natural position and it was not deliberate, but the player clearly controlled the ball using his hand or arm and thus has gained an advantage by doing so. By the laws of the game this is not handball, by the spirit of the game, which we must also take into consideration, it is or it might be. The Man City example is a good one for this dilemma - it can be argued that the player was shifting direction so his arm was out for balance therefore not in an unnatural position. However, in the spirit of the game he has used his arm to control the ball so it's handball.
But you can see how difficult some of these decisions are for referees (outside the Prem where there is no VAR), who have to make them in a split second and at a 100 miles per hour taking a lot of things into consideration. And that's if they get a clear sight of it. And they've got 10 players in their ear shouting different things.
The last bit @Unlucky Alf is about the QPR player. Look at the still when it happens. The ref has just blown for HT and has his eyes down on his notebook, which is perfectly reasonable. The incident takes place almost behind him. He cannot be expected to have seen it so he cannot send the player off. That's not bad refereeing or poor interpretation. Bad refereeing would have been to have guessed or assumed he'd pushed him and sent him off as a result of that guess. Referees are only human and in the EFL, with VAR, have only one pair of eyes, and can only judge on what they see.
Last one, the Morrison foul was a clear foul and a penalty. But if the ref was following the ball and in that split second didn't get a proper or clear view of it he can't give it. I'm not defending him here, just offering a different perspective.
It's easy to referee by TV with a wide angle where you can see lots of things at the same time. At ground level when you can't and there's lots going on all the time, believe me, it's a hard job. 

I've just watched the highlights on YouTube, I can't see this 'cross aimed to the back stick where the player was a yard off, but the cross was blocked so the ball went back to the winger', but based on that, there's absolutely no offside offence (as the laws state, its not an offence itself to be in an offside position). 
For the actual cross, no offences at all from that point onwards, so goal is good to stand. 

I've just given my input (as an amateur qualified ref). 
From the blocked shot, there's no offence just because a player is in an offside position. 
They've not become 'active' through the laws, and the actual cross, definitely no offences. 

Not sure if it's been posted, couldn't find anything on a quick search. 
Anyway, both ways - Asda Spondon to Pentagon Island, Monday to Saturday from tomorrow. Full closure, 24 hours. 
I'm sure they closed it a few years ago for something like a week, I was driving buses Derby to Nottingham, traffic was horrendous. 
Just a heads up for people.

How did you know I was on that pitch?!? 
Were you the one I said hello to in the canoe? 

Chips and gravy. That's me done. 

Someone where I work took a dump in a customers car park, tried to run it over with their vehicle and missed, all caught on camera. Somehow still has their job a couple of years or so later. 
Unbelievable! 

Muamba was out for far longer, so there's hope yet.

Not a lot, but then with those odds, would you really? 
I still believe though...

I could cry. A Huddersfield booking and Derby corner away from 3.3k.
And a Leipzig goal away from £126.

Not a Saturday, but happy with how my Sunday finished. Barca didn't make it an easy ride, mind...

I'm going to call it. We're going to get to 6th place, that's where we'll finish. It won't be pretty, it won't be easy, it'll come down to the last 2 games. But we'll get there.
