  1. In cricket, the technology works really well but that's because its a stop start game. Football has more fluidity.
  2. Surely there is a technology now, like them vests that all footballers wear, that can automatically tell you when a player is offside. If you can know the exact moment a ball is passed, the vest or whatever tech would be able to pick up whether the forward or defender is further ahead of the play.
  3. Get rid of back room refs. Have the 4th official and the onfield ref. A pitch side monitor will do. Anything contentious, let the 4th official have a look, then the ref.
  4. I mean, are referees not alot allowed any wriggle room on sensibility? "By the laws of the game", needs changed to, "by the spirit of the game". That pen we got a spurs, i will quite happily sacrifice shite decisions like that, for sensible ones like todays should have been. The same goes for offsides. Just have a quick a look, is it obvious? Or do you need to get a fucking ruler out? If you have to get a ruler out, then he is onside. It's absolute madness.
  5. One of the best in the league. Would be a solid keeper for any side.

    If you think we are getting relegated at this stage I applaud you for being an even more negative bastard than I am. We don't even deserve to go down and I'd like to see Bruce thrown off a crane.
  7. Biggest positive out of the last few games is Sean Longstaff finding a bit of form.
  8. Aye. Basically admitting to getting it all wrong about him.
  9. Show more positivity against 11 man Liverpool than last week against 10 men. Wide open now.

    Really can't see us getting relegated now.... and I think we are shite. With Wilson coming back in, we will be fine.
  11. If the cunts don't get massive punishment it will be a travesty. I feel points deduction isn't fair on fans. Fines would mean fuck all. Ban them from the champions league for 2 or 3 seasons. And most importantly, change the PL rules so that no coup can ever be attempted again.
  12. They absolutely cannot be involved in any of our domestic competitions if this super league goes ahead. Its a simple as that. Scrap the Europa League, combine it with the champions league. There will be plenty of top European clubs to make it worthwhile. Still have Porto, Ajax, Bayern, Dortmund etc. Not interested in football franchise. In fact, I'd argue its not football at all. Football is about relegation, qualifying for Europe, winning trophies. The Super League would be a souless group of cash cows with no competition. On the bright side it will be nice to see Spurs at the bottom of the league, season after season.
  13. I shall be buying my Carcano rifle and hiding in myself in the tallest building.
  14. What we're the proposed champions league changes?
  15. So you are telling me that those very clubs that made every move to block our takeover, have now decided to break away from the PL. The dots join up somewhere. Perhaps the "big six" didn't want another big player in the PL while they were coming up with their cabal. It links somewhere but I'm not sure where.
  16. Someone like Marcus Rashford to hand in a transfer request would be huge statement.
  17. What you on about "float your boat". Clever cunt.
  18. He doesn't need to, his positioning is normally better than Lascelles. Like Dummett, people like to bash him first. Rafa liked both players. I know who I trust.
  19. The truth is, without his arm there, he would have still got his head on the ball and the pattern of the game wouldn't have changed but yes, as you say, it was a penalty by the laws of the game. I'd have a been fuming had we not got that pen.
  20. There's been loads of players with fairly limited ability go on to achieve great things because they have a better attitude than their more talented counter parts. He's not a particularly gifted player, but as someone like Souness (yuck) would say, hes a man you want in the trenches with you. He will graft, he will fight and more importantly he will set the tempo for lazy cunts like Shelvey. We shouldn't have to have players like Richie in the side, because we should have ambitions beyond him but the fact is, he's more reliable that Lewis right now.
  21. I really like Clark. Perhaps I've just been put off from some of the horrific CBs we have had to watch through the years, Bramble, Boumsong, Taylor etc. I like a centre half who doesn't make howlers, who shows some leadership and gets on with no fuss. Clark has been all of those things and we was key to our promotion. He is one of the few players I don't worry about, I'd fancy Lascelles getting turned by a pacey striker before Clark making a howler. He shouldn't be first choice, looking forward, but he's calm and efficient and we want to be careful before throwing reliable centre half's in the bin, when we don't know who could be coming in.
  22. Someone stab this feckless fat cunt.
