Re: Rival Watch

Not currently rivals, but what a bunch of twats. "Cardiff City is taking legal action against FC Nantes, seeking €120.2 million following a study suggesting they had a 54.2% chance of avoiding relegation with Emiliano Sala. They plan to submit an invoice of €120.2m to the French club." An...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Snowflake Royal
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?

More like a Royals flush down the toilet

Re: The Manager Sack Race/Merry-go-Round

paultheroyal 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

Re: Ex Players

Hound Saw Villa have been drawn against Olympiacos in the European conference semi

Can Abbey play in that? Sounds like he’s been starting for them and doing well

Trying to remember if he’s cup tied from his time with us :wink:

Re: Weekend Football

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 ...

Re: FA Cup Changes

Obviously that wasn't what you said and anyone who believes that expanding international tournaments is for the good of the smaller nations is probably just being deliberately obtuse What do you mean its not what i said?

Yep, and he's still one of the best in the country which is why he's a PL official. We've seen ourselves what they have in the Championship and L1. And when you see clubs facilitating abuse and conspiracies like Forest are, and setting an example for the grassroots that this behaviour is acceptable...

Re: Football Rel8d Gripes

Dirk Gently WRTTOP, when a goalkeeper makes a routine catch and throws themselves down on the ground, ball in hand. It seems to be endemic now, and serves no purpose I can see other than to waste time.

Only until the start of next season .... and then only for six weeks, obviously

Re: Weekend Football

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'...

Re: Weekend Football

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 supported one of the teams that had an "interest" in the result. I think they should sue Forest for defamati...

Re: Rival Watch

Whether he was insured by them is irrelevant really, the pilot and plane weren't licenced or insured to make the flight, a flight arranged by Cardiff, or someone working on behalf of Cardiff. My point was that they cut corners to get him to Wales sooner. They have zero grounds for any claim. My gue...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Burton Albion (h)

You could just as well substitute Reading for Burton in your post. We are not very good-we have had some decent performances over the season but the table only lies because of the points deductions and without them we would still be miles off the top 6 and a distance off top 2. It is going to take ...

Re: Weekend Football

What do you think about the Man City 'handball' yesterday? Michael Oliver appears to be involved in a number of big decisions that have gone City's way this season I thought it was handball, but similar to Young today which was the one I didn’t think was a stonewaller. I would have given it, but th...

Re: Weekend Football

Those options likely to be some fairly hot water, given they've basically accused the VAR ref of being corrupt. Having seen the incidents they’ve got some incontrovertible circumstantial evidence that the VAR official is, at the very best, completely incompetent Two of the three were absolute stone...

Re: Weekend Football

WestYorksRoyal They're barely celebrating. They're embarrassed, as they should be. Saved by a 1mm VAR call.

City will smash them.

City didn’t look great yesterday
And United will step it up against them

So City will only get 3 or 4 :wink:
