I did a scan of the FIFA rules, they are not explicitly banned. It really is the ref's call.

Yeah, that was my sense at the time this was back in high school where I pressed the issue a couple of times. It might actually have been a county rule, now that I think about it.

It kind of makes sense, really. I had a few fitted ball caps that if I came out on a cross and hit a guy on the nose or something it would've hart quite a bit.

Pearson is the third manager to depart Vicarage Road this season, with Javi Gracia sacked in September, four months on from leading Watford to an FA Cup final, and Sánchez Flores, who was sacked after failing to overturn a desperate start to the season. Whoever replaces Pearson will be the club’s 13th appointment since Sean Dyche took charge nine years ago.

Two games left and they can the manager who took them from 8 points in 15 games to almost safety.

Pickford is wearing a baseball hat in the SHU/EVE match today.

not thrilled about this pandemic thing though
