Re: VAR

Quite simply, if it's to be used, VAR should only be used to draw the referee's attention to things they haven't seen and NOT get involved with things that they have seen. If a referee wants to see something again then he should be at liberty to ask to do so at the next break in play. Why can't all ...

Re: Generic clubs in financial crisis Thread

Is there a points sanction for entering administration while in the PL? If so I presume Everton fans will have more "unfairness" to whine about next season.

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

In summary then. A deal has been agreed in principle (https://www.footballinsider247.com/reading-takeover-deal-agreed-in-principle-after-breakthrough-sources/), it's just the owner's tests to be passed and then we can hopefully all get back to some sense of being a normal league club again. IF it do...

Re: Embargos, HMRC Payment defaults, non payment of wages, the usual under Dai Wrongge

The agent's been suspended for 6 months so it Olise moves this summer, he's kind of oxf*rd himself. Could be bad indeed for him, grapevine suggest that Liverpool may well be plotting a move to hijack the "Olise to United" rumour. So a possible bidding war is the last thing he'll want if t...

Really hoping this sort of thing will become unecessary, or at least become much easier and fairer for all to manage, with an independant reguulator.

Re: Neil Warnock interview in Chronicle

No respect for the guy. Karacan’s injury (which massively hobbled his career) was not a coincidence. Tetek’s injury (which seems to have effectively ended his career) was not a coincidence. He was a thug of a manager who had no respect for opposing players or officials. That’s the real Warnock, not...

Re: Embargos, HMRC Payment defaults, non payment of wages, the usual under Dai Wrongge

The FA really don't help themselves do they? 5 years for this to be sorted plus, it seems, precedents have been much less harsh. Question has to be asked though, how did they go down this route in the first place, they must have known it's illegal. Would the agent concerned also face some form of pu...

Re: Weekend Football

Per Sky Sports - this will be the 10th time that a Premier League season has gone to the final day. In all nine previous occasions, the team ahead at kick-off on the final day went on to win the league, and indeed Blackburn, in 1994-95, are the only such leaders not to go on and win their final gam...

BBC are as clueless as the rest of us. Chances are, when/if it does happen, they will be the last to report it.

That is an excellent piece by Selles; really interesting, insightful and humble.

My 2nd biggest fear of the Summer is that another team recognise his val...
