You saying you’re not as cool as LUX?

He's pretty suave, and I'm not travelling international to be there.

The great Hob Nob meet up. See you around the Flag... Where's the flag going to be? Starts at B13, the Eamonn Dolan stand, and ends at Y26 Sir John stand. Sets off at 12.10pm and should take no more than 15 minutes to walk over, just before Kick Off! And nip back to my seat in Y22. I think I'm back...

I think this is where miking up everyone and playing it would help. If the ref's seen something and is saying down comms to the other officials 'no contact, no contact, no contact' then it's an easy call to check a couple of replays and say 'there was substantial contact'. Then everyone can see and ...

I will say it again - VAR should only be used for matter of fact things. Ball over the line, challenge awarded inside / outside the box, offside. Those decisions yesterday were all about opinion and pretty much everyone has one. Let's go back to what we know and pretty much has existed before time ...

I think they should sue Forest for defamation. These guys are professionals and it's ridiculous to suggest Attwell deliberately made Forest lose. So your view is that he's not biased, just completely incompetent Yep, and he's still one of the best in the country which is why he's a PL official. We'...

Barnsley sack their manager. Rolling the dice with that action. Only need a new manager bounce for a max of 4 games Could be a masterstroke …. or a disaster Tbf, can't get much worse than looking like no hopers. But the timing is mad. I'm reminded of Coppell and that three game 0-3 stretch around X...

Less cooler, me too.

Disappointing to lose but frankly Burton knew they were close to last chance saloon and to have a team like us roll up, a team who have had an incredibly stressful season but managed to scramble to safety with a game or two to go must have been a real boost. Having said that, if Smith does better w...

The commentator of Stevenage's game at Oxford during the week said that Nesta Guinness-Walker is the great grandson of Sir Alec Guinness. That one passed me by if indeed it was common knowledge in his time here. It was mentioned pretty regularly on here, wasn’t he referred to using some sort of Sta...

Same will apply with our opponents. Seems unlikely for, for example, Southampton, who are top 4 Championship. Also, the relatively large number of u21 players who are in our first team squad means more opportunity in the u21s for the better u18s than usual, meaning those left playing u18 are probab...

WestYorksRoyal Does this mean we've reached the stage where all representatives are basically agreed and we just need to get Dai involved to sign it off....?

What could possibly go wrong?

Two pair running into a royal flush on the river?

Seriously, who is a fanatical enough fan that they'd willingly corrupt a sport and put their entire job/career at risk to boot? Just can't see it being a thing That's not the point though. A Conflict of Interest declaration is a safety net to protect everyone of accusations of bias and actual bias....

Those options likely to be some fairly hot water, given they've basically accused the VAR ref of being corrupt. Yeah that's outrageous. Hopefully a huge fine and their club account banned from social media posting. The PGMOL also have some questions to answer if they knowingly used a VAR who suppor...

Traditional wingers getting crosses in need bodies in the box to be effective. Today, most teams play 3 central midfielders and only 1 up front, as they want to compete for possession. That means the returns simply don't exist on traditional wing play. Of course you could try returning to 4-4-2, bu...

I'm assuming this is a desperation ploy to get some money to avoid blowing up from FFP issues.

It's all down to what you want your wingers to do. If you have two strikers who are strong in the air, you want your wingers to play on their 'correct' side and specialise in crossing. But there's not a lot of point in having wingers do that if you don't have bodies in the box to attack those crosse...

Winston Biscuit French media reporting that Cardiff are now suing Nantes for €120M over this as they say losing Sala cost them relegation from the PL

I'd like to see how they think Nantes are liable for that.

:lol: https://x.com/NFFC/status/1782056187652960764 Three extremely poor decisions - three penalties not given - which we simply cannot accept. We warned the PGMOL that the VAR is a Luton fan before the game but they didn’t change him. Our patience has been tested multiple times. NFFC will now cons...

It's win win imo.

Oxford fail to go up, LOL. But if Oxford do go up they get patronised by everyone and given a proper showing up.
