He’s just a closet scouser tbh.

 

Anyway, VAR is having a great day.

 

 

 

[Ayatollah Hermione 13873]

And then you have Michael Oliver refusing to change his original decision after going to the telly even though his decision was the wrong one. What a day for the elite referee corps

[strawb 4268]

Always thought the people who get into reffing are wrong’uns tbh. 
 

As a kid you want to play, not be Keith Lard enforcing the rules, fucking virgins

I like the idea of on field challenges but mostly cos it'll give an opportunity to see some proper arrogant cunts send things upstairs that they're never gonna get. 

 

Rugby league uses them pretty well in Australia. The captain of each team gets to make one challenge per match to an on-field decision. They have to challange immediately after the play. If their challenge is upheld they retain the ability to make a challenge later in the game, if the original decision stands they lose their challenge and can make no more. If the video footage is not conclusive enough the original call remains and the captain retains their challenge.

 

It still doesn't mean that the VAR (called 'the bunker' in league) gets everything right, but for the most part they do. It's also never a case of the VAR referring the decision back to the on-field ref by getting them to watch certain footage. The decision is made by the bunker and relayed to the onfield ref as well as on the big-screen.

100%! Along with a lack of any discernible ability and a masochistic desire to be the centre of attention for any reason at all. I like to imagine that today's referee (and all of his ilk) are the product of parent's who never loved them.

[Gemmill 44900]

Ref missed a stonewall penalty for Leeds too when he couldn't have been in a better position to see it live, then didn't bother reviewing it, then showed Marsch a red card for being annoyed about it.

 

[Kid Dynamite 7031]

Thank fuck we didn't sign this dork 

 

[wykikitoon 20165]

Yeh hes only one of the top assist players in the league so far. Something we don't need

[Dr Gloom 21924]

Young footballer in shit taste shocker

One thing I like about the NRL is you hear the ref and video ref talking through the review. It's totally transparent. 

[toonotl 2980]

Ref: "I'm a big four-eyed lame-o and I wear the same stupid sweater every day and ... TO THE SPRINGFIELD RIVER!"

A sacrifice I'm willing to make to ensure that hat doesn't grace our bench

Agree 100% Even when they get it wrong you at least can understand why they ruled a particular way. There should be nothing to hide.

Somebody give Eddie & Dan a call and tell them to chuck out all their transfer criteria. If the pinball wizard doesn’t approve of their fashion sense, they’re not good enough for us.

[wykikitoon 20165]

According to my in laws who were at the Forest game yesterday Lingard did fuck all again 😂

[Ayatollah Hermione 13873]

I think that sets him on about £1.4 million gained from his flat wage this season. At least Dick Turpin wore a mask

[Alex 35095]

We’ve seen Howe get a tune out of lots of different players but, even so, it feels like Man Utd did us a massive favour by trying to screw us over with Lingard

Howe strikes me as the type of manager who considers the psychological impact of a player over his technical attributes. i.e. it doesn’t matter how gifted an individual the player may be, if his inclusion would be to the detriment of the group, he’ll not consider him.

 

it wouldn’t at all surprise me if it’s us that walked away from the notion of signing Lingard and had fuck all to do with money. The press, as they’ve demonstrated all too regularly this summer are guessing.

That's the only reason I think of why we didn't sign Neymar and Mbappe. 

[wykikitoon 20165]

Leicester ouch

[Rayvin 5223]

Not quite followed this but what has gone wrong for Leicester exactly? Can't just be Fofana since they only lost him a week ago and they've been dire all season.

 

We might have another chance for Maddison in January if they keep on like this.

[wykikitoon 20165]

Maddison at a cut price

[wykikitoon 20165]

5-2

 

Is Brenda the next gaffer gone?

[Dougle 3337]

I see that Dúbravka has company on the bench, in Heaton (if the BBC are to be trusted like), so he may actually be third choice at manure, nice.

[wykikitoon 20165]

I see Anthony got his work permit through quickly
