The Selles comments in the local news underline just how important it could be to get the new owners fully committed in the next few weeks. The planning for pre-season and for contracts has already started. Possibly the most important thing the new owners will do is provide the guidance and backing...
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 defamation. These guys are professionals and it's ridiculous to suggest Attwell deliberately made Forest lose. ...
All shows that the side has been relatively inconsistent this side and are pretty much just as likely to beat a promotion chasing side as they are to lose to one about to get relegated. Feels like most sides in division are inconsistent. Few at top a bit better, few at bottom a bit worse, teams in ...
I think there is a disconnect between what execs and fans want. I always think of Wigan in 2013 who won the FA Cup and got relegated from the Premier League. Would I take that in a similar situation? Fcuk yes. You will never forget an FA Cup win, whereas what is the appeal to stay in the PL and have...
When I watch cricket and there is a review it happens quickly openly and whichever way it goes i do t mind but with VAR I just have an irrational hatred of the whole thing Also cricket is all about fine margins. Look at the size of the ball and how short the "pitch" is. Football has a big...
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...
Pretty much defines Antony's time at United that after the club lost a 3-goal lead to a second tier club, narrowly avoided defeat thanks to VAR, and then squeezed through on penalties, he is seen cupping his ears towards Coventry's players after the winning kick. https://twitter.com/MenInBlazers/st...
Could the EFL fight fire with fire and introduce more Carabao cup games? Say a couple of knock out rounds to whittle L2 and L1 clubs to 20. Then add in 44 Championship and PL sides and create 8 groups of 8 with a round robin stage, so 7 games each. Top 2 from each group qualify for last 16. Then las...
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, but...
I'm trying to think of a similarly embarrassing Reading win, but can't think of any because when we humiliate ourselves we do the decent thing and let the non League guys get the day in the sun their performance deserves. :lol: I guess is Utd do the impossible and beat City today will be forgotten....

Pre VAR, they used to talk about benefit of the doubt to the attacking team for tight calls, which this definitely was. But similarly, linesmen are taught to leave their flags down now as VAR can check afterwards, so perhaps he would have flagged without VAR. Of course he would as it was miles off!...
Hold on girls. From the risk of dual double relegations, looks like both will survive this season. F-T 1-0 we are not quite assured of survival yet but Lewes playing at the moment have to win to have any chance of staying up. Edit Lewes losing 2-0 Lewes lost 2-0 ROYALS SAFE- Palace champions and pr...
: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...
If the charges are PSR related then it will be heard relatively quickly to ensure the deductions are in place for next season. Man City's charges aren't PSR related which is why comparing the time being taken to get through their process to say Everton is pointless. I see, does that mean City's cou...
