Ramsdale is already thereI have to say I'm surprised that Southgate didn't call anyone up when it was announced that Mount and Rashford had withdrawn from the England squad as surely Ward-Prowse and Watkins would have been ideal candidates to replace them yet Gareth has kept the same squad, another decision I find strange is that he has called up Forster to replace Pope because surely the best option would have been Ramsdale.
So he is I just got confused about the squad as I thought he wasn't called up for some strange reason, I do find it weird that Forster was called up though as surely it would have been better to just have Ramsdale and Pickford as the two goalkeepers. Looking at the squad this time though and it does look really light compared to recent squads especially in the Midfield area.Ramsdale is already there
Was he told mid flight?
UEFA rules say there has to be 3 keepers in the 23 man squad for each match, so Pope had to be replaced. It is odd that Sterling and Mount haven't been replaced (as they have done previously) but I wonder if its because the complete squad has now reduced to only 23 players therefore they don't want to bring in two more and have to drop two for each match?So he is I just got confused about the squad as I thought he wasn't called up for some strange reason, I do find it weird that Forster was called up though as surely it would have been better to just have Ramsdale and Pickford as the two goalkeepers.
I presume that if somebody else gets injured before the match on Thursday then Gareth will replace them, but it just seems odd that he hasn't done it on this occasion.UEFA rules say there has to be 3 keepers in the 23 man squad for each match, so Pope had to be replaced.

Doesn’t make it any less ridiculous. There’s no outcome where someone should be punished more heavily for pushing a ref than racially abusing someone.The precedent is Di Canio, like it or not.
That was so long ago it's not really comparable now though. Suarez would most likely have got than 8 matches if it happened now - UEFA rules is a mandatory 10 match ban for racism and the FA guidelines is up to 12 matches. The landscape has moved on considerably since 2011.More than what Suarez got for racially abusing someone and all of this while a literal rapist is playing every single week with zero consequencesIf true, make it make sense.
Maybe, but I still find it ridiculous that you could get a harsher punishment in 2023 for pushing someone than some of the other shit that players do and somehow get away with regardless of what the rules are, maybe they should reevaluate them.That was so long ago it's not really comparable now though.

I think its harsh on Mitrovic as it's not a particularly violent move, but a longer ban is in line with the FA's principles on respect - yes he's probably being made an example, but that's his own fault.
That would mean Ryan Mason would take temporary charge. Pleased for him if that happens.
rude of you to post this when it’s just been announced that haaland has had to withdraw from the norway squad with a groin injuryJust messin with the Man City fans on here.
Sorry he got that doing me xrude of you to post this when it’s just been announced that haaland has had to withdraw from the norway squad with a groin injury
go choke on marks dick you meany
I think a lot of these “injuries” are more of a precaution. So many players are withdrawing from from these upcoming games, probably minor injuries that they won’t want to risk at a crucial point in the season.I'm praying it's nothing and these 2 weeks he is back to full robotcmon big man
Hopefully peps just brought him back as a precautionI'm praying it's nothing and these 2 weeks he is back to full robotcmon big man
