Gibraltar squadfor next week. Fully expect Tjay to start up front, hopefully with Styche as the big target man next to him, but we'll see as Ribas likes to have a formation that can go from 4-3-3 to 5-4-1 when needed.
Interesting quirk in the FA Cup: two yellows gets you a ban in the competition - but get sent off and you can serve that ban in the league. So the Blackburn player will miss the semi if they get there - unless he two foots someone...
I didn't think it was a deliberate handball. He seemed to try and pull his arm away when he knew it was going to hit it. All happened in a flash! Mitrovic, though, was somewhat foolish.
At one time I'm sure the word "deliberate" was in there for handballs, but I'm not sure it is anymore.
It's more about natural and unnatural positions.
But either way, the rule is you handball it on the line you're off. Has been that way for many a year now.
Mitro surely has to be looking at a ban well above 3 games. Di Canio got 12 games didn't he, for that ref shove? More aggression in the shove and it sent him flying, but Mitro's screaming abuse in the ref's face after it added more threat.
If QPR get saved by other clubs having points deductions applied in a timely fashion, there will be a not-so-delicious irony for us, though certainly for GA.
If they don't turn it round and win a fair number of games I can see them sacking him at the end of the season regardless of keeping them up. Entitlement fairly high there.

Fulham with a collective head-loss that Joey Barton would have been proud of
Dominated for 60 minutes and then went insane. Can't think of a better way to throw a game.
Daftest tossing away of a game in memory.
What on earth were the manager and Mitrovic ranting about? Most obvious handball and red you'll see.
Need to look at the rule IMHO. What is Willian supposed to do. red card AND penalty too harsh a sanction.
Probably not put his hand out and handle it, I'd suggest.
I’d be pretty cross with any player who didn’t do just that.
in the Sheffield game their player did much the same but just got a yellow. Better sanction in my view.

Natural and unnatural positions? It's just bonkers!!
It’s a choice to move your hand and stop a goal bound shot.
Just as it’s a choice to tug back a player who has sprinted into the box in front of you.
Both a red card.
Surely the only unnatural position of an arm is if the elbow is bent the wrong way?
Ouch !
Goodnight.
Wigan docked 3 points for failing to pay their players again. That club just lurches from one financial shitshow to another.
The championship has been horrible for this for a fair few years now hasn't it.
There's a couple of other clubs close to being in a similar boat I think, Reading and one other I can't pinpoint.
Possibly Birmingham
I keep hearing that Reading will be in real trouble if they don’t go up [this year]
Its the hope that kills you.
Think they're in trouble anyway. Loads out of contract and not a lot of hope of resigning them all.
(In my head I'm whistling and thinking that's nothing at all like our position...gulp)

Barnsley having another barnstormer!
Brilliant game at Barnsley!
2-2 at Oakwell
Would just like to say, Wednesday have worked their way back from 2-0 with some very direct, long-ball football...
Styles of play not even being talked about by the summarisers...
3-2 Barnsley
4-2 Barnsley. FT
Well that wasn't the result we expected, but puts our 1-0 loss into some degree of perspective
Genuine four team battle for two automatic places
Then up to 6 teams chasing the 2 remaining play off places.
Peterborough at home to Derby on Saturday.
