Astroblack Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 (edited) Foreign pundits on UK programming. Feel like their pitied on by the rest of the panel, sometimes they think they’re the star of the show, try to be funny and it’s cringe. They don’t get the banter half the time and it’s really hard viewing. there are some good ones like Dietmar Hamman. Excellent English, can mix it up with the jokes and is highly intelligent. I’m watching Ginola right now and he’s looking like a clown. Henry is probably the worst. I’m sure in France he’d be a riot but over here it’s cringe.

Cronky Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 The recent buzzword of 'controlling the game'. A team can dominate a game, but never control it. And it's in the nature of the beast that a team can dominate, fail to score and then have the opposition break away and win it in last minute. I like the Cloughie quote - it only takes a second to score a goal. Part of the game's attraction is its unpredictability, with defence turning into attack in a single moment.

Fantail Breeze Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 Modern day football fans. Man Utd penalty at Arsenal yesterday, how many phones in view? Just fucking enjoy the moment ffs. I hate videos like that in general, you can’t properly understand the scenes of celebrating a goal, it doesn’t capture it at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know I never really had a problem with it before this season. One or two doing it and putting it up on social media is quite handy, because you can go back and watch it from a different pov. It’s getting ridiculous now though. At what point do you begin to realise there are hundreds of not thousands of people with the same content?

Fantail Breeze Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 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. 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...

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.
