WELL done for getting through another week, U’s fans.

Lockdown, coupled with no football, is no fun at all. Well played if you have been following the important rules keeping us all safe, and if you are thinking of being silly this glorious Easter weekend, please do not.

Mega thanks to all of the U’s fans and of course everyone else who are also key workers or volunteers, out there keeping going what is really needed.

Sitting in my darkened room working from home is easy compared to the drama and stress that all of the superb guys and gals working in healthcare, retail, public transport and other areas must be facing.

We often think that supporting the U’s can be an ordeal at times. In perspective, perhaps we need to think differently when it all kicks off again?

Question is, when will that be? The current season is suspended indefinitely and the powers that be have even suggested that it may never be concluded.

All options are technically still open and the situation has been helped by the flexibility granted this week around players contracts and the transfer window.

Personally, I still think our season will be played out at some point. It might need some creative thinking, the removal of a cup competition and an extension to next season. Too many variables to even try to formulate a resolution at this point though.

Good news, though. FIFA have been playing with the handball rule this week.

Good to see that the important issues of the world are on their agenda in the present climate.

The new “T Shirt rule” for the, was it shoulder, was it arm problem. What joy!

Something else for VAR to get excited about I suppose. Maybe we’ll have “hot spot” soon to see if the ball actually hit the arm in the first place. I love football to bits, but not when it is being ruined in my humble opinion.

In proper good news Harry Pell has almost completed his massive Lego football stadium.

It looks amazing on social media and makes me wish that we had Lego like that when I was a kid.

Yes, it was around when I was a youngster, I’m not that old! The players, football club and fans are all doing their bit if they can, and that’s just brilliant.

Today as it is Good Friday, we should have been bopping Northampton away, taking three points off them and consolidating our position in the play-offs with just three games to go.

I think a Bramall free-kick, a Norris volley from 25 yards and a cheeky Robinson lob would have sealed it. What do you think?

Best wishes to you all, keep safe and secure and as much as you can, please have a very Happy Easter.
