Grimsby keeper James McKeown signs a 3-year contranct extention which will keep him at the club until 2022. Having initially signed in 2011 this will take him past his testimonial year, which will be well deserved for his fantastic performances and service over the years.

One moment, please...

Just caught the intro to Sky’s EFL coverage and they seem to list every EFL team bar Exeter? Unless it was one for the few that flashed past in a split second at the end.

Perhaps they "have it in for us" due to our formerly wobbly TV gantry ? Lol

A good policy and one I think we should adopt

Bristol City write to clubs explaining new policy of not kicking ball out of play

Bristol City have written to every Championship club to tell them that they will not kick the ball out of play for any opposing player unless they have suffered a head injury

Agreed in principle, but needs firmer refereeing than we see in L2.

Also, it will lead to more feigning head injuries. As we know only too well, Lincoln City are past masters at this.

A great idea,good if all clubs adopted it.

Re feigning head injuries.Yes some players are dumb enough to do that,to clampdown on the bull5hitters any head injury should be a 5 min touch line recovery or substitution.

They should be assessed for signs of concussion.

Good point i would like to see a compulsory off the field check by a Doctor for any alleged head injury to ensure players are fit to continue.

Well done Bristol City. If this doesn't catch on at the very least it should stimulate some debate on the subject.

Yes, this entire thing has not been something I approve of and has been so open to abuse, with feigning injuries. The amount of times we have been building some pressure and someone rolls around like he has been shot, and you can see the players are not really buying it, but they do the accepted protocol.

I would be fully in favour if Exeter did this.
