Yorkie Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 2 minutes ago, Fantail Breeze said: The weird trend of putting your arms behind your back when attempting to block a pass or shot. It makes you less mobile and balanced and less likely to get a firm block on the ball. Blame VAR. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fantail Breeze Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 Just now, Yorkie said: Blame VAR. Happened pre-VAR. It’s also much easier to keep your arms in a natural position than try and defend holding them behind your back. The amount of penalties given for handball in those situations is actually so slim too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 Swear it only started happening with such frequency when VAR started giving all those ridiculous handball pens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the best source, but article here from 2015 talking about it: https://zapsportz.com/defenders-hands-are-tied-these-days-but-they-shouldnt-be-behind-their-back-says-glenn-hoddle/ It’s improved in it’s frequency with VAR, but it’s gone on for years.

He did that the other day and his jumper was basically see-through. Totally unacceptable. I'm taking a cabbage to throw at him on Tuesday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 Can we all agree a nationwide fan amnesty on “your support is fucking shit” and “is this a library”? So thick… every away support sings it to every home support and then has it sung to them in return. We get it, away fans are louder than home fans.

number37 Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 "Is this a library?" could actually be a genuine question because they've all been closed and no one knows what they look like any more.

TorchyTBB Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 Managers spitting, there's just no need. Wonder if they walk round the town with their wives, spitting as they go.

woody Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 I know it's been said, but footballers apologizing on Instagram for losses. I get it Bruno, losing 5-0 to City sucks but c'mon.

Top knots and hair bands are shite though - there's a lad in my gym with quite short curtains and he wears a totally unnecessary shoe lace around his head - looks a total cunt!
