    Like Juninho was always going to Arsenal?

    The 3 points debacle

    Had we stayed up we’d have had the benefit of Festa and Schwarzer from the get go the next season. Juninho would have stayed. Emerson would have settled in. We’d have signed several top class players and probably won the league the following season. And the cup most likely.

    VAR making yet another mess of it

    Because I’m happy for referees to make mistakes. I am a referee. What I’m not happy with is the interference of a system that was supposed to eradicate errors in the big decisions and instead has made things a lot worse. This one is clear irrespective of any opinion. Haaland very very clearly...

    VAR making yet another mess of it

    I don’t want to kick up a VAR fuss. I’m pointing out another incorrect decision. I foolishly thought that this message board was for such discussion but maybe not. Anyway, it is as clear as day that in order to get in front of his man Haaland fouls him. The penalty was incorrectly given and...

    Yesterdays Tactics

    It was a tactical masterclass, you have to say. Dare I say a sprinkling of genius from Carrick. The intelligent interchange of positions was really really impressive. Fry marking Ineacho out of the game, Jonny dropping in to make a 3 when he needed to and taking dewsbury-hall out and Jones...

    What is the point of VAR?

    You won’t see a clearer red card than the two footer. I can’t believe anyone is arguing otherwise. It is the definition of a “tackle that endangers the safety of an opponent or uses excessive force”. Contact is irrelevant to the law. He’s out of control, both feet off the ground, studs showing...

    What is the point of VAR?

    That’s fundamentally the problem. The two reds yesterday were ridiculous and the same today. It’s got some of the stuff right like the pen and the red but it took them about half an hour to get that right. It’s just diabolical. Sucks the life out of the game.

    What is the point of VAR?

    Clear two footed lunge - no red Player kicks out at another whilst on the ground - no red. Seriously, what on Earth is the point of it? A disastrous introduction to the game that adds nothing, takes away the essence of the game and doesn’t even get the decisions right. A big steaming pile of...

    The New Beatles Single

    All You Need is Love was performed for the first time as part of the first worldwide satellite broadcast. People say the early stuff is dated or not as groundbreaking but having lived through it that’s not true. A lot of it was groundbreaking at the time. Genius gets bandied around a lot but...

    No McGree, Latte Lath, Forss, Lenihan, Smith

    Forss is out for a while - damaged thigh muscle. Lenihan it’s his Achilles but not a rupture. Not sure about McGree.

    Random Question: Anyone here have a Hiatus Hernia?

    I’ve been on lansoprazole since February. It has cleared up everything but I’m a bit concerned about the long term effects of taking it.

    Deliberate hand ball in the penalty area

    It’s in my very first post just a few up from here. In fact it’s clearly the very point of my post, as everyone else has been able to recognise and understand. Im not sure why you felt the sarcastic tone of your replies to be necessary. I can’t comment on your ability to be a referee, only on...

    Deliberate hand ball in the penalty area

    What are you talking about? I’m explaining that ‘deliberate handball’ isn’t always a caution because ‘deliberate’ is at the heart of the offence and not every handball is a yellow. It’s not difficult.
