Still not worthy of a thread

Wasn't trying to be patronising at all. All I said was the loser gets a better draw, he fired into me in protection of the nations league which I honestly don't care about. 

You’re the one that brought the Nations League into it, putting the “blame” at its doorstep.

 

Then, instead of adressing what you said, you pretended that you didn’t say anything of that nature, before going on to seemingly go out of your way to act patronizing   
 

Each to their own and all that, it just makes no sense whatsoever. If you didn’t mean to “blame” the Nations League, you could’ve easily clarified that with a one sentence reply. Instead you seemingly decided that you wanted to take a completely different approach instead of clarifying what you’re now saying is the reason for how you’ve acted.

Bloody hell man.

"While waiting for confirmation might feel excruciating, isn’t the trade-off for fairness worth it?"

 

No.

On average you wait less than 10 seconds longer than you do when a linesman intervenes in a match.

 

Yes, a few times it takes absolute ages - but that’s because the Referees barely know what they’re doing when they do it in real time. Which leads to them just getting more confused when they get a chance to review it in slow motion from multiple angles.

 

If IFAB worked to make the Laws of the Game suitable for VAR, VAR would work almost perfectly. They don’t do that. Instead they work to make the Laws of the Game even harder for a referee to correctly interpret when VAR is called into action.

I see N-O favourite Chiesa has barely played and Slot himself mentions he doesn't know when he'll be fully fit. We dodged a bullet.

Feels like Italians very rarely cut it in Premier League. Can only think of Jorginho and Pellè who has been good/great since like 2010, but I might have forgotten someone obvious? 

 

Edit: Tonali and Balotelli should've been mentioned

I'd completely forgotten they'd signed him tbh

[Pixelphish]

Not seen @The Prophet post for a while. Hope he's ok.

He requested a break from the board so his account was banned. 

[Pixelphish]

Ah ok fair enough!

While we're on the subject of "missing" posters, is @Village Idiot still around and posting less often (to the degree I feel I've not seen a VI post in absolute ages), or has he left the village?

He posted a few weeks back to glow in the aftermath of the Classico.

No wonder Everton are in such a state when their for.er CEO can only spout what is common knowledge...

Inoffensive choice. Quite surprised they recruited in. 

 

Hug your gammons tonight, folks.

Can't complain about that, she's a decent presenter, as are Chapman and Logan too. If they're doing a rotation, i'm really surprised Scott isn't in there given how she seems to be everywhere these days. 

 

Didn't know she was the daughter of Dalglish mind  

[Fak]

Get Ian Wright to replace her. 

[Interpolic]

3 excellent presenters, especially like Gabby Logan for the rapport she always manages to build with guests. Rotating across 3 different presenters seems a bit weird though. 

 

Lineker will be a big miss regardless. 

[Big Geordie]

Yup - Yorath and Dalglish's daughter are really good choices.

[Pilko]

Don't like the idea of rotating in general but happy enough with the people chosen for it. To think a year ago we were being told Jenas was getting the keys to the kingdom it's a hell of a result tbh

[Groundhog63]

I can't stand Mark Chapman's voice. Grates on a par with radio's Matt Edmondson
