Wullie

Not trying to be funny or downplay your suffering or anything but I just find posts like this so odd. This has been going on for 11 years now. If you didn't 100% know this was coming at some stage, you've been very naive. It's like being devastated about your wife's 47th affair having known about the other 46. It's not going to stop anytime soon so I would brace yourself for more heartache or, much more sensibly, just toss it off altogether.

This is it. Today's developments make no sense ashley will never get more than £350m for the club definitely not now Rafa is going. Stupidity doesn't come close. He's not a willing seller.

They've picked the perfect place for it tbf, they can protest and pick up their new season tickets at the same time.

What an unexpected turn of events. You'll be telling me the takeover's a complete load of horseshit next.

Isn't it "The Little Waster" himself?

The lad seems like a total knob but what he's up to with his crap videos couldn't be more harmless. It is mental that he's 26 like.

Saw the thread title, thought he'd scored at 14/1 anytime. A poxy outstanding assist. Little bastard.

Completely demented.

Those rules apply across the board. The current rules means only the very top level of the sport is ruined. That's not a good look. The plus side is that it's even worse than I thought it would be, I mean much much worse. First time I can see the possibility that it will eventually be done away with.

Absolute fucking tosh, mate. I love the sport just as much as you, just got a different opinion. The "you must HATE X because you want to make changes to X" argument, I wonder where I've heard that before Wullie, you're great, man, but you've been so emotionally invested in this fight, you're slinging mud where it's actually pretty easy to engage with the other side on this issue. And disagree. I know on the Interwebz disagreeing with someone politely is taboo, but it's okay to not agree with someone on a topic Every time VAR fucks a game up, whether it's handball or this latest farce, Gallowgate End says "the rules are wrong and need changing" They don't need changing, they've been fine for very many years, making football the world's most popular sport. I liked it the way it is, this is wrecking it, and already the tide is turning as most of the sensible journalists are already realising, this is not sustainable.

If you want to change all the rules so much just get your own fucking sport instead of trying to ruin the one everyone else likes.

Seconds later How long does a kick typically take to get from the spot to the goal? The ball has very clearly been struck in that frame above, it's moving. The fact that we're talking frame by frame images shows how much football has lost its fucking mind to this utter nonsense.

It would be perfectly reasonable to question the sanity of those taking over.

Birmingham's by far the best job he's done, that club's a complete mess and he did well last season.

The handball rule has been the same for decades.

Sounds great. Hopefully he can have a heart attack while he's out there so they can have some extra life insurance payout they couldn't possibly spend. All about that yen.

"The pits" to think a 59 year old multi millionaire with young adult daughters might want to stay at home with them and his wife, as opposed to spending five years in a one bedroom flat in Ghangzhou for some extra cash.

I've tried to be patient with your viewpoints as others slag you off, after all they're only opinions, but if you think Rafa would go to China I give up. It would be against everything we know the man to be. I agree don’t think he would consider it usually but if he’s found out the takeover isn’t happening then you could understand why he would be considering a £12million a year contract offer But he isn't driven by money, I'm quite sure he has more than enough already. Competition, success, achievement is what drives the man. If you’ve got £10m in the bank and get offered £60m for 5 years work, knowing you’ve set yourself, kids and grandkids up for the rest of their lives, you’d absolutely 100% consider it. Think the ‘how much does he need?’ argument is the pits. Think you've got that sorted with the £10m tbh.

Screw loose.

Just seen the penalty in the France Nigeria game.

"Lisa, I'd like to buy your rock."

1 Red card for the opposition in 6 years in the Premier League since 2013 explain that? Must just be because we never have the ball So Mike Dean sees a blatant red card at SJP but doesn't give it because he DETESTS Newcastle United. Then someone tells him to look at a video. He looks at it, still LOATHES Newcastle United and so doesn't change his mind. I'm not seeing the moment where the VAR helps the HATED Newcastle United get more decisions in their favour from referees who ABHOR Newcastle United.

The ref looked at it and sent the bloke off. I can only assume he thought the guy was playing for Newcastle United, who all referees DESPISE.
