Colback Free Agent, technically IIRC. True, it would indeed be the first money signing since Obertan. God Colback and Obertan both Pardew choices and people wnated Pardew to buy his own.

Colback

7 to 10 days ?, how is he getting here, by canoe ?

Austin as 9, we have to have someone to put the ball in the net, simply have to.

I'm the first to complain about his shitness, but smashing Colback would leave us relying on two worse options. I prefer Anita holding (not great but than ginger bollocks in that role) with Shelvey getting forward. Colback can neither get forward or hold, well doesn't do anything well tbh. Personally i prefer all of the players mentioned to be blasted into a black hole. correct

Anita/Tiote because Colback is nailed on to play.

Awwww Jinx

Everyone does realise if we don't sign him we're carrying on with the Anita/Colback/Tiote perm 2 from 3 axis of evil right ?

SSN saying the lower you are in the table the more players you sign in the January window. Hahahahaha will buck that trend

Exactly, whatever rule you put in place will be flawed. They'll never be one good enough to be honest.

:lo: aye, it's a pipe dream tbh Oh yeah, it'll be Colback holding with Baldy getting forward, or playing left or right wing as is farmer face's want.

Yeah you do, well intent anyway. The example i tend to use is, say when a player throws himself in front of a shot, almost every time the ball strikes his arm it's never given. As they're no intent but there are occasions when put their arms out like a GK would, now even though there's no intent, for me it should be a penalty but the law says intent and or arms in an unnatural position. Again even then you can pick holes it that, your arms are attached to you so what is an unnatural position, there isn't one imo, but again it's an opinion against and opinion thing. For me it's just a feeling as i ref, let me decide 100% and then it's 100% down to me, and i can't then hide behind the law if i get it wrong as refs and the FA do now.

Well, he'd be a start. Bet we'll be haggling over the fee though and it will breakdown. Or we won't pay the wages, despite the fortune of Sky money coming in.

Yep, i've been saying that for years. It would take away intent as the supposed factor. So a player would be penalised for the ball hitting their hand accidentally, if it happened to deflect favourably for them? That's even worse. Yup, you'd have players aiming for the oponents hands if they had nowt else on as well As the ref you would see that and not give it as that's the attacking team trying to gain an advantage by exploiting a certain scenario, like i said nothing would be perfect, it's just trying to find a better way than what's in place now. And even then you'll still going to have better refs, poor refs making decision right or wrong, nothing will ever be perfect, it's simply not possible.

So a player would be penalised for the ball hitting their hand accidentally, if it happened to deflect favourably for them? That's even worse. That's too simplistic of a way of looking at it, every situation is different. Let the ref decide how it should be judged, most do anyway now to an extent. To be honest there simply isn't going to be system put in place that'll work 100% of the time. They'll always be something wrong with whatever law is used, it's just appointing one that reduces errors or mistakes/unjusts the most. For me as a ref (not doing it at the moment as i'm playing Saturday afternoons), it would be easy for me to make my mind up about every individual incident, rather than follow the law to the letter as you're supposed to. Just in my experience, letting me decide for myself what is a penalty or not feels best in a game.

No intent should mean no penalty, but a video ref would have to judge the intent of Dyer then....good luck with that.

He's crap, Sunderland us earlier this season, and he was the ref in the Blackburn League Cup game a few seasons back, gave a penalty against Krul when he clearly got the ball. He's just poor.

How the hell are Tottenham so high in the league and trying to win this game, i mean the Europa League. Fecking nutters.

Harsh that.

Dele Alli is as thick as mince like.

I did, he doesn't seem to be in their team at the moment. He'd be perfect for us, box to box, tackles, scores a few, Premier League ready. We'll value him at £5m, they'll want £6m, and someone else will buy him for £7m. Ah Portsmouth, Leeds etc Aye, he's basically a lot of what we need in midfield and he's played in Thai league. No chance they'll have even considered it though Never knew that

Played well, is better than Dummett going forward, is better defensively, is better. Sub on Tuesday.
