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.


Fans prefer trying to get sympathy from claiming they are victims, rather than just accepting someone made a wrong call

England never getting the world cup finals despite being one of the few nations with the infrastructure to be able to meet FIFA's ever increasing, over the top demands. https://i2-prod.dailystar.co.uk/incoming/article24538617.ece/ALTERNATES/s1200b/4_PAY-England-fans-walking-around-the-west-end-befo...

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 ...

Screenshot from 2024-04-22 15-20-19.png Donnie's amazing run continues with another win at the weekend making 9 wins from the last 10 games. A win against lowly Colchester tomorrow and they will be into the play offs. Would be an extraordinary turnaround of a season by them having been in 21st plac...

Re: European Leagues Thread 2012/2013

St-Ettiene's great 2nd half of the season continues, this time coming back from a goal down and a man down to win 2-1 with goals in the 91st & 94th minute!

5 games to go and they are 1 point away from an automatic promotion place

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. If a linesman flags for offside the game stops, so if VAR proves that decision was wrong then how do you recover from stopping a prom...

Re: Football Rel8d Gripes

wrttop - basic starting formations offered up by the broadcaster suggesting strongly it tells the story of what's going happen, but in reality they actually offer very little insight into how that team is going to play.

Re: Football Rel8d Gripes

Won't that just mean the higher-placed team sets up with a 10-0-0 formation and kills the game as a spectacle? no. Its just not that big of an advantage that teams set out from the start to do nothing but defend it. When it comes down to the last 10 minutes of a game then maybe they do that, but th...

Re: FA Cup Changes

as a general point and not a dig at people here, I can't help but think that all areas of football have now become so analysed that even company bottom lines are now debating points for fans and the extra profit they might make becomes a thing to get enthused by. I don't want replays to go because ...

Re: Weekend Football

Pre VAR no-one would have complained at the goal standing. Gutted for Cov This is always my feeling. Offside pre-VAR was a lot more around actually being in front of other players, anything reasonably level was deemed fine. What i will say is this, we are the only country that does it like this. Yo...

enjoyed the video of the Man Utd fans outside Wembley, who quickly left when Cov thought they got the winner, but then heard it was VAR'd out, running to get back into the ground :lol:

Re: Weekend Football

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....
