Why don't they add in a captain's challenge? VAR check it still but the captain can request once per game (maybe keep it if you are correct?) for the red to check the monitor. Yesterday Trippier uses his challenge to ask the ref to watch it. He is told Gordon is clipped and the ref can check it. 

 

Same with havertz challenge at SJP, captain asks ref to check it and he's is off. 

Agreed on this. They need to look to cricket on several areas. 

So firstly, challenges. Each team has say two challenges. If they are correct, they keep the challenge, if they're wrong, they lose it. Same as tennis. Game goes to extra time, you get a challenge back. Simple.

Then with offsides, they need to look at the LBW review in cricket. With ball tracking, they acknowledge it can't be 100% accurate (like offsides, where the camera frames can't know 100% when the ball leaves the foot. In a cricket LBW, if the ball is clearly hitting the stump it's given out. If it's clearly missing, it's not out. If less than half the ball is clipping the stumps, it's given as umpire's call, where the decision of the on-field umpire is retained.

With offsides, the attacker line and the defender line should have a small margin of error (maybe an inch or two). If the two lines overlap, it goes down as "linesman's call" instead of "onside" or "offside" - and the onfield decision is retained. It would stop this nonsense of being millimetres offside.

Ref practically pushing Saka off the pitch so Man Utd have more time.

Been playing through an ankle injury. 

He's clearly not the most gifted, but we've been lucky to have him available this season when other players haven't been. 

I look forward to seeing him injury free next season. He's clearly been below his best, but he gets given far too hard a time - especially on the BBC player rater functionality.

Honestly I don't understand what you mean by that.

Was just a very "sitting on the fence" post

Happy for him to be here,  unless he's poor, which he might be, but he also may not. If he is, then it's okay to say that he might have been, unless he isn't.  

My reply was probably too abstract, apologies, just enjoyed your post haha.

Don't mind him being here next season, but I have a feeling that next season we are going to start questioning whether it was right to keep him for another season or not. I hope I can look back at this and say that I was wrong. However, if he doesn't play anywhere near the levels that he used to, or can't keep up with our playstyle in terms of injuries and/or fatigue, it won't be hindsight to point out that we could've sold him (I'm sure the hindisght argument would be used). At the same time, we would need another RB if we sold him, so it's definelty not clearcut.

 

 

 

I imagine your garden fence is quite worn down.

Do we win something? Perhaps a dented trophy with one handle missing?

Add another 200 on for Tonali suspension...

Doubt it as the cup cards just merge with the PL cards. 

Yellows don't. Reds do.

Hope Man City annihilate them in the final.

Very similar to Isak at Anfield, that decision.

The line made it look like the feet were level 

The line was half way up the Man Utd defender's boot, man.

Less of a penalty than Ashley Young's earlier that wasn't given. Which absolutely should've been, btw.

Applied for 6 or 7 and got 0. Really disappointing. 

What a finish... Sheer class.

Fantastic!

His manager's view:

 

"You see that players are developing. If you compare the current Minteh with that of the beginning of the season, such as the calm with which he scores the second goal. He was involved in a lot. I find it very special that while you are doing Ramadan, you can have such an incredible amount of fanaticism. He ate for the last time last night."

Worrying if he plans to never eat again.

Surely a red?!

GET IN.

Fucking wonderful goal Isak. Who made that pass?

Not a red at all imo

Covering defender clearly there. Doesn't make sense.

Bloody unbelievable strike from Ipswich's LB Davis there.

I really do think our medical team need to be fully replaced. I don't blame them for the ACLs happening, but the fact that both Lascelles and Batman were allowed to play on having torn ACLs is totally incomprehensible to me.

Leicester suing the Premier League. Get in. 

Quote

LCFC has been compelled today to issue two urgent legal proceedings against the Premier League and the EFL. LCFC will be seeking that each of these proceedings is determined by an appropriate and fully independent legal panel.

 

The Club is committed to ensure that any charges against it are properly and proportionately determined, in accordance with the applicable rules, by the right bodies, and at the right time.

 

While LCFC would prefer the proceedings to be in public, so its supporters and the wider world can be informed about the important issues of football governance that will be considered, the relevant rules require that these proceedings are conducted confidentially, and LCFC will therefore not be able to comment further about them at this stage.

We reaffirm the Club’s position that we will continue to fight for the right of Leicester City and all clubs to pursue their ambitions, particularly where these have been reasonably and fairly established through sustained sporting achievement.

 

The Club further notes that at 4pm today the EFL issued a public notification that LCFC has been placed under a registration embargo pursuant to its P&S rules. The EFL is aware that LCFC has disputed the EFL’s entitlement to impose this constraint, which is both restrictive and premature, with more than a quarter of the Club’s 2023/24 reporting period remaining.
