Looks alright in that professionally taken photograph of a professional model. Bought ten of them.

aye but he's shit

They can't sign anyone, are changing manager, and Hazard is gonezo, he'll get some time.

Name a manager with as little experience as Frank Lampard that has succeeded in the PL, let alone at one of the top clubs. That's probably why! Eddie Howe

Badge color simplification = reduced costs. Mike wins again. Will be standard in years to come.

How can we play against ourselves?

... still a serious suggestion tho innit.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ You asked if it was a serious suggestion. If a manager of a professional team has suggested it, I'd say that it was a serious suggestion. I don't really see the problem with suggesting smaller goals, given they're optimized for the men's game.

I think it will be more palatable to the masses when we hit the knockout stage. Higher skill level, more on the line etc. It's very frustrating watching poor nations misplace passes every two minutes.

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. I would say that the major difference is the importance of a goal in football vs scoring in basketball. The feeling of celebrating a goal in football really isn't mimicked in basketball unless you're in buzzer beater territory, at which point the VAR/stare at the monitor process is a little more palatable anyway. VAR in it's current implementation robs the fans of really feeling that rush after their team scores. Whether it's chalked off or not.

It's absolutely fucking miserable in basketball man It takes them forever and then they have to fuck around with the clock as well.

Love the theory of VAR. Cannot see a version of it that I think would be acceptable in the game. It actively detracts from the enjoyment of the game. Right decision or not. Which is often still debatable. Technology needs to come a long way for me not to hate it. The only thing I think they could feasibly do anytime soon is have offside be adjudged by a robot lino. Other than that, nee chance VAR can be implemented in a manner that isn't tiresome as fuck.

Disappointing lack of goading from the Brits.

Mackem bellend attitude is helpful in these pressure situations tbh.

That was equivalent to, or greater than, winning a world cup.

I support the notion of VAR but this implementation is miserable. Farewell celebration of goals.

LOIDH

Few people saying they’re being replaced with the LED boards SD ones? The ones that change the advertising during the game you Luddite

All this takeover shit is just a smokescreen to distract us from the fact we're losing Big Mo. Wake up lads.

It's dangerous to be a man, Tomato.

Interesting thread etc etc etc... but
