Aye, particularly seeing as he largely makes his living commentating on the competition that he's strongly criticising. 

 

bit bemused by the one bit where he was on about var.... was he suggesting it was being applied better in CL than the PL?

wasn't our experience in paris sadly.

Aye I do wonder whether he's not just basing that on the far fewer games there are in the CL too. But VAR is definitely not "a thing" every week in the CL like it is in the PL. It's on average two game changing stinkers a week in the PL these days.

Seems like the games where VAR is active, it’s really fucking active. Look at that Man United/Bournemouth game. It’s not just one contentious decision, it’s one on top of another until it’s a lasagne of dogshit

Perhaps he's specifically referring to the improved offside mechanism in the CL as opposed to the car crash "let me try and draw some straight lines and figure this out" bullshit in the PL.

Was it really VAR where the problem lay? I thought we were fucked by a different interpretation of the handball law?

I'd put it down to var, a penalty wouldn't have been awarded without it...

 

The VAR who awarded Paris Saint-Germain's controversial added-time penalty against Newcastle United in the Champions League has been removed from duty by UEFA on a game on Wednesday night.

Polish VAR Tomasz Kwiatkowski sent referee Szymon Marciniak to the pitchside monitor in the 96th minute of Tuesday's match after the ball struck the arm of Tino Livramento, which was judged to be making his body bigger and creating a barrier

I think the PSG one rankles so much because they let an identical incident go without punishment 20 minutes earlier

What’s the craic then with the council not guaranteeing them 10 years?

[Gemmill 49715]

Dunno, they don't seem to have explained their reasoning. Gateshead have put this out in response.

Saw both pages ages ago, second page and how it was closed off was patently not written by someone who knows how to write a business letter. I would guess high up football execs do know how to write letters.

you'd hope so. you'd also hope that a letter of this magnitude would be more than 2 pages.

is this where you saw the first, the daily fail? it was the first of 2 letters.

 

1. The 1st letter was to the Premier League from Arsenal, United, Liverpool and Spurs. It was revealed exclusively by Martin Samuel on 13/1/2013 in the long article in the open source link below. Samuel highlights the extreme cuntery particularly from the rags over FFP.

2. We haven't seen the 2nd letter which was from 9 Premier League clubs to CAS in 2020 but a summary of the document was leaked in advance of the CAS verdict and then substantiated in the in the CAS award document as per the extract already shown above.

Ciao Rio,

As you know, many have tried interpreting Allegri.

Some cited existing philosophical works such as Bordiga, Hegel and Plato.

The former saw Allegri as the progenitor of a spontaneous revolution, his football being so boring it had deep ideological significance. They viewed his football as the cry of discontentedness with the neoliberal consensus, and a legitimate philosophical work in it’s own right.

The modern Hegelians saw Allegrismo as the dialectical synthesis between two states of being, that of anguish and that of ennui.

Those using the works of Plato are conflicted on whether to see Allegriball as a concrete object, real and tangible, while all consider the feelings the games elicit to be abstract.

Others saw it as post-modern performance art and tried to categorise it as the intended catalyst of a yet to materialise Neo-Fluxus movement.

Alas, others even ascribed it a theological value, arguing for the canonisation of Allegri and compared our pain watching to the pain our lord felt on the cross. A contingent of these worshippers split recently and alleged Allegri was inherently heretical, no mortal man had ever suffered like Jesus did until we watched the Sampdoria game.

The truth is, Allegriball defies what the human mind is capable of interpreting.

Do you suppose we can only bask in its majesty?

Spurs made £272 mill in commercial revenue last year. Pity Levy will only allow 1/4 of it to be spent on players 😆

 

 

[LondonBlue 1021]

There's a Bruno G thread in the transfer forum on bluemoon (there is a separate thread for most decent players we're linked with).

 

Saw this comment which is fairly common "Can’t help but think it’s absolutely ridiculous Newcastle may have to sell their better players when they are the richest club in world football. Just doesn’t sit right with me tbh"

 

so it's not just you guys who recognise how unfair you have it. I'm mostly hoping ffp keeps you at bay for a while, but would prefer to rival you guys than liverpool.
