Would've been much worse if the the stand has fences on the terrace like many stands did back then, would've been 1000's dead. Precursor to Hillsborough and absolutely no lessons learnt for that as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wooden stand and build up of litter under the concourse which was lit up by a cigarette butt. The club had been warned about that risk and others. Stand was due to be demolished after the game in anycase. The deaths were caused by turnstile gates being locked for those who fled to them and not the pitch. Absolutely awful.

TRC Posted January 2, 2024 Share Posted January 2, 2024 Is there any update on Paqueta getting a ban? Feels a bit rough watching West Ham above us while we have a player suspended for the season while they have a player who did something that's actually illegal.

With Tonali they just needed to prove or an admission of breaking the betting rules. With Pacqueta you’ll need a pretty solid case that incriminates him which they either don’t have or will likely take a long time to put together.

Interpolic Posted January 3, 2024 Share Posted January 3, 2024 Them and Liverpool are by miles the most repulsive clubs in the league at the moment. Yet another action designed to gain them favour from officials. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it more naturally and confidently and often just grabs the ball. Longstaff must be the worst ever at it, would be happy to never see him do it again.

Like I said earlier I'm baffled how Bruno and its not just him, get-away with it loads. And it doesn't look more natural or confident to me, I honestly think it's expensive player against local scrote, the "foul" and reaction can be exactly the same but the outcomes aren't.

gbandit Posted January 4, 2024 Share Posted January 4, 2024 I think it’s because there are some genuine ones in there amongst the Bruno flops. Longstaff goes down with any touch and it’s a lot rarer that he gets actually fouled as he doesn’t carry the ball Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruno invites actual contact and players bite. He has skill on the ball. Longstaff just gets closed down and falls over. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longstaff just gets closed down and falls over. Very similar to Grealish - he was the most fouled player in the league for a couple of seasons I think, but he buys a lot of fouls by being clever with his body positioning, slowing down at just the right moment to invite contact and, for want of better words, falling convincingly. It's a skill of the 'dark arts' of football, which is sad to say but some players just do it much better than others. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye but both Grealish and Bruno have excellent close control, quick feet, balance, agility so they invite actual fouls. Slow down, show a bit of the ball to the oppo, shift their balance and body positions - foul. They buy fouls but they also beat opponents. A player like Longstaff doesn't have any of those abilities to she falls over - straight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can add Almiron to the Longstaff pile as well. He's arguably worse at it than anyone else Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
