Having done what Football Daily has taught me and looked at an article on Wikipedia, it seems that through a series of mergers and acquisitions, what remains of that venerable, old chess website lives on as a series of pages deep within the bowels of that handicrafts site. It points to the URL of a chess website, but when clicked redirects to a site about handicrafts. I got curious about the footnote which got left in when you pasted some text about Swiss-style tournaments from Wikipedia (Friday’s Football Daily).

Had cut his toenail, we wouldn’t be talking about penalties” – Mark Robins deserves a pat on the back for an incredibly calm reaction after he and his Coventry players had their hearts shattered when VAR denied them from completing one of the greatest comebacks in FA Cup history against Manchester United. We were 20 seconds from going to an FA Cup final then 30 seconds later we’re in a penalty shootout. People will talk about this game for a long time. “They’ve put themselves right up there in the history of the football club.

Join Taha Hashim at 7.45pm BST for Milan derby updates as Inter wrap up a 20th title with a 3-1 victory over their housemates, who are the home team at San Siro this evening. Today on Instachat, in a post accompanied by two winky-face emojis, the Everton defender announced he was listening to an “Old Skool tune” by Justin Timberlake. The main protagonist in all three of Sunday’s “extremely poor decisions”, Ashley Young, must have left Goodison Park unable to believe his luck. What it has done, however, is fuel the flames of paranoia among the more gullible of their supporters in a state of affairs that helps deflect attention from the club’s own rule-breaking and myriad shortcomings when it comes to winning top-flight matches through the usual means of defending stoutly while scoring goals. While Forest have every right to feel hard done by when it comes to the application of the omnishambles that is VAR, their persecution complex, propensity for writing angry letters and constant post-match complaining has won them few friends.

“Certainly, I would not have risked this situation if I were the head of the referees and all of this could have been avoided had the PGMOL simply made smarter appointments,” blathered Clattenburg in a column, where he made no mention of himself being on the Forest payroll and was therefore taking a completely one-eyed view of proceedings but had the clanging brass balls to suggest that Attwell’s decisions, or lack of them, might have been rooted in unconscious bias. Having been called upon by Gary Neville to resign from his weird position as refereeing consultant at the City Ground in order to distance himself from the conspiracy theories of tinfoil hat-wearing employers who had complained about the appointment of Attwell before, as well as after, their defeat, former referee Mark “Clatts” Clattenburg elected instead to double down on the club’s stance in Monday’s Daily Mail.

Weirdly, given their public and increasingly tedious insistence on the laws of the game in their matches being rigidly imposed, the Forest hierarchy and their social media propagandists were strangely quiet when it came to criticising those particular officiating howlers on the day they surfed back into the top flight on a tidal wave of goodwill. Quite apart from the fact that a win for Everton didn’t really suit Luton and that the only option Forest can reasonably expect to consider is whether to pay the whacking great fine they’re inevitably be going to landed with by cash or card, Football Daily can’t help but feel the club’s paranoid hierarchy might be better served pondering the fact that the only reason they’re actually in the Premier League is because Huddersfield were denied two clear penalties in the playoff final won by Forest at Wembley the season before last.
