Already the 4th most scoring player in Egypt history. 0.58 goals per game for Egypt.

Again, read what I put properly and you’ll see thomas and I agree on the stat I was discussing. We’re discussing and disagree on the interpretation of the data though. Fair enough, but I think your overall tone was unnecessarily aggressive when discussing a tech that's been used and nearly perfected across other sports. "VAR IS CRAP!" is an unnecessarily general statement that's nowhere near true. It can be perfected in those sports, because they are suitable for it. Football isn’t. It is. You just need a designated VAR ref that communicates with the on-pitch ref when called upon rather than the on-pitch ref taking ages looking at the videos. That's the main issue. If you had a designated VAR ref constantly looking at the replays it'd take seconds to solve something. This is what we've had in the trail in England and it has taken a lot longer than seconds. The on-pitch ref always watches the replays in the matches I've seen.

Don't want VAR in its current form.

Would be interested to see what data they are using to calculate that. But that’s not the point I was and still am making. The error rate of the referee still fucking up and changing the decision incorrectly is 16%, which is ridiculous and adds to the point I made a few weeks ago where the referee on the pitch is influenced by the VAR referee as soon as they tell them to check a decision. It's not, though. The error rate goes down to 0.98% over 6.05% - even though there still is an error percentage in the decisions they make using VAR. The numbers they'll have used will be the decisions where VAR has been used vs decisions where VAR has not been used, clearly. I'm not a fan at all of VAR in the form it is currently being used, but I'll still not argue against it clearly being more correct than refs usually are. It's just used wrong and slows down games unnecessarily. A random stat on Reddit could be based on the square root of fuck all like It's a fucking hyperlink, man. https://www.gazzetta.it/Calcio/Serie-A/23-04-2018/var-cartellini-simulazioni-club-serie-a-lezione-rizzoli-260774711797.shtml

The error rate with VAR is 0.98% vs 6.05% without VAR. That's the take away here, man

"Newcastle United footballer Rolando Aarons arrives at Newcastle Crow Court this morning" Picture of Aarons' lawyer:

But I thought Stifler said there would be no leaks because of the World Cup?

Better than having your beloved Real Madrid in another one. Beloved The way a few people here absolutely hate the fact I support another team besides Newcastle is hilarious like and Real probably will be in another one, they're not playing Liverpool tonight m8 You 'support' them!? Fucking hell. If Falowashola sees this and doesn't reply then he's gone forever, like. what a crazy world we live in, huh? Imagine people supporting teams from places they've lived. Mental! There's no such thing as genuinely supporting more than one team, like. And if there was, then it should be a banishable offence. That's some absolute bollocks like Nah, the thought of supporting more than one team shouldn't even cross your mind imo. Couldn't care less how anyone wants to justify that sort of nonsense to themselves. Proper Donald Trump way of thinking this like Nice try. It's still nonsense. Both agree and disagree, I think. You'll only ever support one team, but you can have sympathies for other teams. I follow Rosenborg back here due to having lived in Trondheim as well as it being the most local team to me outside of the cuntish Bodø/Glimt, but if Newcastle ever played Rosenborg I'd hope we absolutely raped the mustache-wearing fuckers.

105 decisions changed and 17 of them were wrongfully changed? Even after watching it over and over again? So 16% of VAR decisions are wrong? No? :lol: Those that are changed, aye? Literally says: "error rate: 6,05% without VAR, 0,98% with VAR – decrease of fouls (–8,8%), protests (–19,3%), simulations (–43%) – increase of penalties (+4,3%)" in the title

Roooomaaaaaaa

Would be interesting to see WBA's PPG with and without Pardew this season, and where they would be if they had maintained the PPG without him through the whole season. 33 if following Pulis' PPG this season. 48 if following the average PPG of Pulis and Moore combined this season. 63 if following Moores PPG this season. 24 if following Pardews PPG this season.

Was class all game. Lovely take for his goal too. Clearly a fairly switched on kid too going there, a brave manager would take him to the WC. I really hope Sancho has set the example for the rest of the English youngsters out there - there's too many that waste their careers in U23 football or poor loans in the lower leagues - go out of your comfort zone and take a chance. All credit to Sancho - hope he goes on to have a successful career. I remember getting stick on here for saying that Oliver Burke was a moron for leaving Leipzig for West Brom, so don't hold your breath. Can’t knock the lad for wanting to play football. He lost all his confidence and was sat on the bench in Germany. He give it a shot moving abroad and it didn’t really work out, nothing wrong with that. The ‘Scottish Messi’ still hasn’t been capped and barely played a game for Sporting in 4 years since he moved there either whilst his mate has became a starter for Liverpool about to play in the semis of the Champions League. I agree that it’s good too see Brits moving away but ultimately any move at the age is still a risk wherever you go. Even if you go abroad there's no guarantee you'll make it if you're shit. Still better to take a risk at a "medium" European club in a decent league than going to a "massive" English club and end up playing for the reserves for five years, I'd say.

I'd take him losing us from doing a Capone tbh.

Think that might be Daniel Day Lewis in one of his later roles before his unexpected retirement.

Ref has been disgracful. Recall him being disgraceful in past matches as well.

For real though, what’s with only our players slipping?

Why are only our players the ones slipping?

Lesson to self: next big win, withdraw the money. Don’t waste them.

Why did we take off a player and put on none?

I love stupid commentary: “If he’d managed to put that in the goal it would have been 1-1!”

Perez reverted to type this match it seems.

It was against Newcastle.

Hope more teams start using the robot mascot.
