  1. My one and only NUFC match that I've attended has been in the Ashley-owned, Alan Pardew-run phase. I even bought a Wonga shirt from the club shop! I'm a heathen, no doubt to be banished to live out eternity in N-O hell. In all seriousness, don't worry about what others might think, especially if it's going to be your very first time visiting SJP. If I was a regular attendee / ST holder for decades, I'd have boycotted already, but if this is your first time ever, don't deny yourself that pleasure. Edit: You can always start anti-Ashley chants for some street cred

    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

    VAR doesn't kill people, people kill people.

    All this is just reminding me again of Suarez vs. Ghana and I'm "fewming" now.

    As a pro VAR person, these developments are, unfortunately, proving the one argument I sort of agree with the anti-VAR crew to be true: that instead of correcting refereeing incompetence, the tool will instead be used to express their incompetence in brand new creative and outlandish ways.
  7. I think him and his type's days are over, Moyes has been overlooked for the Kilmarnock job, Big Sam gets linked with nothing these days, Hughes, Pullis and McClaren have had to many failures now and it looks like the new vogue is ex top quality players, good riddance some fuckwits will turn to these clowns at some point allardyce is an odd one tbf, kind of surprised no relegation fodder have moved for him since his last stint you might be right overall Don't think Big Sam is really interested these days unless you back up the money truck hard - look how much it took Everton to lure that walrus off his rock - 3 million in salary for 8 months work, then a 6 million pay off at the end of it all on top. They also had to pay Crystal Palace compensation for the privilege. No one in a relegation battle is going to fork that sort of dosh out again.

    Death threats ffs. This is complete nonsense too, though. “As a Canadian...”, f*** off with that s*** We shall smother you with our politeness whilst refusing to join your Iraq War. [move]JORDAN PETERSON[/move] We've produced far, far worse and more offensive peeps than JP

    American and Canadian journalists and former female players are the ones who raised this issue but sure, let’s pretend it’s just some nationalist BS

    Considering 11 was the previous record goals scored in a WWC match, and they tied and subsequently broke that record, I’d say they had plenty of cause to celebrate. I apply equality, er, equally, so if a men’s team went about acting the way the women’s US team did, doing Wrestlemania celebratory moves after scoring 10+ goals, everyone would rightly pillory them for their unsportsmanlike behaviour. I’m applying the same standard for women.

    Good post, Oniell, but I think comparison to women’s tennis is slightly off. Women’s tennis is freaking awesome, and I think it should be footie’s goal to get the women’s game upto the same level as women’s tennis. I think we are on the right track.

    I was going to say these sort of scorelines just paint the women's version of the sport in bad light, then I remembered Brazil 1 - 7 Germany
  17. When was it introduced? And have they taken steps to address this criticism? One thing I don't like is how long it takes, you're right, and you only see the two officials huddled around a monitor. Again, it didn't really affect my overall excitement of the game, it was a minor stoppage in play. In football, especially, watching teams like Stoke comes with far more stoppages and pain.
  18. The NBA is frenetic, end to end and pretty fluid as a sport, and they use video to consult on important calls. I've been watching almost every single game of the playoffs and hasn't impeded my or any other fans' enjoyment, as far as I know. Of course, I don't know the history about how this was introduced, implemented, etc., maybe some other basketball followers can chime in. I'm fully #TeamVAR anyways as I've been used to it in other sports I watched growing up (tennis, cricket, etc.), but I do understand some of the reservations with how it's going to be rolled out in football -- there also doesn't seem to be a coherent plan around it, in typical FA, UEFA, FIFA fashion. The initial pains will be rough but if they're willing to listen and change the process based on fans' and experts' advice as it's slowly implemented, I can see it evolving into a seamless thing in a few years. Of course, nothing will get the naysayers on-side, and that's okay too.
  19. A mid-level sort of hack, which falls somewhere between blackhat and whitehat, guaranteeing 0 results.

  21. R Kelly has hacked your account. Surviving The Fakeover, now streaming on Netflix.
  22. He's probably curious about the contract situation like the rest of us.
  23. They don't have to melt to collapse as any metallurgy video will show And thus, Takeover Trutherism was born
  24. The real question is if the takeover fuel is strong enough to melt steel beams.
