El Prontonise

Thought we played well as a team but individually quite poor in midfield. Best quality of the the game won it. City are a boring side to watch as I've said many times before.

If you were a neutral watching that you'd switched it off after 25 mins.

Yes, 3 on Tuesdays and 3 on Wednesdays.

Yes that was 100% aimed at us.

I don't believe that for a second. 1) It was started at last years World Cup. 2) The actual rule changes were done by the IFAB, not the PL. I do think more noise and media narrative around it last season was centred on us, but the rule changes were already coming.

Makes a valid point about how he's ever known football and hasn't ever really experienced anything else since he was 11. Really think it's bad for players to be picked up so early by clubs, don't get to experience what normal life is like.

Yeap, I hate this narrative that I'm supposed to like the owners now since we are doing well again.

@Optimistic Nut will be happy with that dramatic victory for hearts.

Nah. Look at Ronaldo and Messi.

Actually amazed at how early they've done the TV games for a change.

That's an option, that would verify the original ticket holder.

Absolutely, that's why they've said to people to not share them at all. The ticket itself isn't sharable from the wallet but the file for the ticket could easily be installed manually onto an unlimited amount of devices or hacked to not that hard. The only way to make it unique would be via an app which changes the qr code constantly.

The wallet tickets are just an identifier (ticket ID), can have multiple versions of them so it's whoever gets in first scan if it's been shared around. If you want to have a system which prevents counterfeits etc then it needs to come from an app which generated the NFC/QR code at runtime and changes (like on bus apps) which I've seen some clubs do have for home tickets.

It's all about money.

I could see 30-35k tbh.

Doesn't bother people but they still make a comment about it.

Yeah it is, so it can be hard to fact check. Also a lot of people don't realise is that many more match reports are being created by AI now.

Yes, I'm very wary of employers who don't do it, I reckon they are claiming on behalf of employees though for their "own" functions for upper management as HMRC don't check. FYI: https://www.gov.uk/expenses-benefits-social-functions-parties/whats-exempt

Because they do, that's what pays for most xmas parties etc. It's been like that for a very long time, every employee gets that. Rules are different for self employed people, they are probably putting them against subsistence when they shouldn't be.

All client entertainment is not tax deductible. What happens though it's paid through the business instead of it coming after income tax etc from someone's personal account. Every employee gets £150 for entertainment which can be claimed back, what usually happens is they'll lump some client spending onto that. I've actually challenged a previous employer about why no entertainment was being given out to us across the year....

Find their brand of football very boring to watch tbh.

The neymar wages make me sick tbh, football is fucked eventually from all of this spending.

But if we play on the Tuesday (24th), then our game won't be on the Sunday (22nd) for example.

Can see Liverpool vs Everton being on Monday with Liverpool in Europa league.

Think it'll all depend on the KO times as could be an early kick off of we play on the Tuesday in the CL.
