Re: Champions League, Europa League & Europa Conference League 23/24

I'd suggest just because someone scores a lot of penalties doesn't necessarily make them a "good" penalty taker totally agree. It should surely be about pushing the % chance of success in your favour as much as possible, and that is by placing it in the most difficult position. The nicer ...

Re: Weekend Football

Leicester Vs Southampton tonight.

Southampton losing means they can only finish in the play offs, but also that result will surely also mean Leicester are going up automatically too?!

never cheered for Southampton before but will be tonight.

Re: Football Rel8d Gripes

genome Topical: fans (and now clubs apparently) immediately leaping to corruption over bad refereeing decisions, rather than the far simpler explanation of them just being useless.

Re: Ups & Downs 23/24

Also, it could be one of those odd occasions where a team, Colchester this time, having 2 games in hand rather than just the 1 that those teams around them have, could work against them. Colchester currently 3 points clear of relegation with a better GD by 7 and have 2 games left to play, but those ...

Re: Weekend Football

There's also a problem that the decision given affects the game from that point on, whereas with cricket the ball is dead and they can judge things at their leisure.
