Guest firetotheworks Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Does he live in NE how many times has Vickery watched football? What makes him an expert at wots happening? My advice would be for him to do his homework or keep his nose out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deuce Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Tim Vickery makes a pretty good argument for how that would actually make things worse. What's his argument? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Tim Vickery makes a pretty good argument for how that would actually make things worse. What's his argument? Don't know if you know who Vickery is, journalist based in South America, i.e. the home of time-wasting and niggly shithousery. Basically his view is that all the stuff we call time-wasting in football, most of it isn't designed to actually waste time, that's just an added bonus which the referee ultimately has power over by adding the time on and handing out cards, and that the primary function of players lying down pretending to be injured late on or taking thirty seconds to walk fifteen yards is to kill the game's momentum and relieve pressure. They make the game stop-start, and he's right, I've seen tons of games (usually when I've got a bet on the attacking team) where a goal looks completely inevitable late on, but then the defending team will get the physio on for the goalkeeper hurting himself catching a cross and the players all stand around for three minutes, and when it starts up again with plenty of time added for the stoppage, the game just fizzles out without them mounting another attack as all that momentum has gone. Stopping the clock just takes away the power of the referee to control piss-taking with cards and added time, and gives the players carte blanche to do it even more.

Deuce Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 it’s a fair point. I wonder how you’d try to mitigate that. Used to listen to World Football Phone-In fairly regularly, Vickery always had thoughtful commentary. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCK Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 I like Hoddle's commentary, he's calm and has a lot of insight into why players and managers are doing what they're doing. Sounds simple, but hey. Hope he's OK. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueStar Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Leicester owner's helicopter has crashed. BT Sport Premier League Tonight chatting in the studio at the King Power, filming it taking off, joking about it. Came back from the break and they're all looking ashen, saying it's crashed in the car park. Cut the show short cos there's a fire and they're being evacuated. Same day as Glenn Hoddle collapsing in the BT studio. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
