When there wasn't VAR, Refs made mistakes, & we grumbled but it was just part of the game in the league for over 136 years from the football league's beginnings in this Country. The laws of the game became consistent across the globe. Now we have VAR, the footballing authorities across the World can't even agree on what some of the rules are regarding it, no wonder the fans are confused, even the players managers, and officials are confused too.

@super_ramIt's great to wake up to some great news. Ollie Pope scored one of the great innings, 196 on a turning wicket, but I still thought that the lead wasn't quite enough, but Tom Hartley's seven wickets proved me wrong. The team spirit in this England team under Ben Stokes is what gives England an extra edge in close matches. Incidentally, West Indies have beaten Australia in Australia today too. A remarkable day in Test Cricket.

ENGLAND HAVE WON THE FIRST TEST IN INDIA. WHAT A REMARKABLE WIN. Tom Hartley taking 7 wickets for England in India's 2nd innings. England win by 28 runs.

Great innings by Ollie Pope in England's 2nd innings.

Weather for this afternoon. Dry and Mild with sunny spells for most.

Goals from tonight's game.

One of the best performances of the season sees the Panthers just come up short against the league leaders, but they can be proud of this performance and take confidence from it.

Goal Panthers, Hugo Roy: 1:2 v Steelers

We ought to have a VAR watch on here. More VAR controversy. Watching the Fulham v Newcastle match the ball comes off a Newcastle arm, the changes direction of the ball, and another Newcastle player scores thank you very much. It's a definite hand ball but goes to VAR and the goal given. Premier league cash rich Newcastle get the benefit. They were saying on the commentary that if that incident had happened in Europe, the goal would have been disallowed. Football's laws are just not consistent anymore across the World. How has that happened?

Jodi and Aaron combining for our equaliser today.

Big match tonight is underway.

Going out this evening, it will be largely dry, feeling a little chilly in the east.

I'm pleased with a draw today. A reasonable start for Stuart as Head Coach. Barrow are a well drilled physical side are not where they are in the league for nothing, they are hard to break down and have one of the best defences in the league. I would have taken a draw at the start and due to the results above us, the draw hasn't worked out two bad for us.As for the game, our first 15 minutes was poor, we could have been 2:0 down but we improved after that, Jodi did what he has been doing for us week after week by his assist for our equaliser and Aaron has found his scoring boots with 5 goals in 5 matches In the second half we looked the better side without really creating a lot. Some of Barrow's challenges went unpunished and the synical foul on Jodi should have seen a red card. Didn't see any real changes in our shape, that will come with time, but the all round performance today was better, including our defence. On to Mansfield for our next game.

Good one ????

Team news for tonight's match between Panthers and Steelers.

So looking forward to this game, we know the negatives and we know the positives, if Stuart's plan today cuts down on the negatives we can beat anyone in this league. It won't be long now.

Totally agree with you @DangerousSausage when VAR was introduced I thought it would stop or just reduce these contentious decisions but they have increased under VAR. The offside rule needs clarifying by FIFA, & a standard introduced, such as for example, the whole body of an attacker needs to be in front of the defender before the attacker is deemed offside.

Should be good weather for the match this afternoon, with a good crowd expected too. Great weather, great atmosphere.

End of the third day if the 1st test match, India v England with England on 316 for 6, a lead of 126. Nottinghamshire's Ben Duckett scored 47 with Ollie Pope 148 not out. It should be a fascinating morning's cricket tomorrow with England desperate to stretch that lead so they have something to bowl at.

Great to see the lads back in the Trent Bridge Turf

Disruption of TV signals could happen today due to atmospheric conditions

Match day. Panthers v Sheffield Steelers. Elite League, Motorpoint Arena. 7pm. Looks like it's going to be a sellout tonight for the fiercest rivalry in British Ice Hockey.
