The College Dropout Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 Thought the only wrong decision was the offside goal. Jones red is a red. Jota red is a red. First yellow was unlucky if it was an accident. But the second was dumb. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I probably will end up watching Blackburn vs Leicester and Forest vs Brentford though, and far more hipster, but Rennes vs Nantes at 7.45pm on TNT Sports could be OK - I do like watching random derbies.

There's obviously other means to watch football these days (which I don't personally bother with), and just stick to terrestrial, Sky, TNT, Amazone etc. but the Spanish match being on Viaplay doesn't help. I did get it over the summer, was a right faff on trying to cancel, ended up keeping it for another month which I didn't want. Cancelled it at the bank after that, before eventually finding a way via a lengthy phone call with someone at Sky, so vowed never to purchase Viaplay again . That women's match is at 5.30pm. It's good in a way that women's football is more widely available - you go on to live-footballontv.com and around half the matches these days are women's, and a lot of them are free on the likes of FA Player, but despite all the success and feel good factor of the Lionesses, I just can't imagine the average person who would automatically tune into any Super Sunday match at 4.30pm, be like, can't wait for this Birmingham vs London Lionesses match later on. I'd imagine the lack of 4.30pm game would be due to a combo of the Ryder Cup final day, and to try and get as many additional eyes on the WSL with it being the first day of the season, but there's no doubt the average football fan on Sky will be thinking they are getting a far worse service today, and the ratings will reflect this, so hopefully it's not too common going forward and the heavy WSL promotion is mainly kept to men's international breaks.

Guest Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 I've thought for ages that Sky definitely pick a "contract" game on the final day of the Ryder Cup. Use up one game each for Forest and Brentford when they want to drive viewers to the golf. Classic move. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormy Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 I wonder if NFL being in London has an impact as well? Can imagine there being quite a crossover with fans who may have otherwise watched some (proper) football on TV so they don't want to waste anything good today.

Aye, possibly, especially with it being live on ITV1 as well. Probably makes sense for Sky to save some of their better stuff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erikse Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 (edited) 4 hours ago, Displayname said: It may look straight from that angle, but from others you can clearly see that it wasnt. And that isnt what I would call raised foot. You can get lots of still images with a leg going in like that during a week of games. You also have to question why VAR didnt show the other angles during the replay. It looks way worse from the angle they showed the ref. From behind and the other side you see that the leg wasnt straight and how his foot changed angle after rolling over the ball. But VAR didnt show these, only replayed the other 2 angles 3 times each. Why not give the ref all the information for such an important decision? Pay attention to the motion of his leg. During the entire motion he is in the process of straightening his leg out, which ultimately ends up happening, and looks like it would've happened regardless of the ball. I don't think a different angle would change much of that fact.. You can clearly see from this angle whether his leg is straight or not. I don't even think that the rules makes exceptions for when someones foot "rolls off the ball" in the first place, so it might just be a red regardless of the balls role in this.

SUPERTOON Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 Shocking defending from Leicester Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paullow Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 Leicester a goal up against Bburn after 3 mins, fake Colo with the goal. I don't think Preston getting thumped was a shock yesterday, they won pretty much every match, possibly all of them by a single goal, and will more than likely sift back down to midtable in the coming months. Not sure Ipswich will last the pace either, it will be very impressive if they do, so hopefully Leicester can keep pushing on and comfortably take one of the two automatic slots, and less leeway for those down the road 1-1 now. Two goals inside 8 mins. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 (edited) Ah Vardy man what a player. One of my favourite players of the last 10 years. Hope he helps get them back up (which looks a cert) then retires on that. Edited October 1, 2023 by Optimistic Nut Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erikse Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 Looking at Villas fixture list I can already imagine the pundits discussing whether Villa is in the title race or not in about a month from now. They could very well win the next 4-5 games, and then be hyped up by the media. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty bad example you've used, as both those teams are in the championship, and the bottom end of it too! Can't imagine many people would be excited if the 4:30pm spot was QPR v Rotherham on the mens side either!! I think it's probably a combination of it being the opening week of the WSL, and the Ryder Cup as you've said, but don't worry, us women will get back to the rubbish kick of times which are really inconvient soon! I'm joking by the way......sort of! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
