If…(see what I did there…)

Doesn’t the promotion money come into this year’s accounts? I haven’t a clue how PSR works but would have thought that that has to be a factor somewhere along the line.

It could well be true that we will have a decent Championship squad of players for when (in my mind) the inevitable happens. The question is will these players thrive if RM survives as manager. His mantra is ‘no change’ so for other managers perhaps it will be like re- reading a book or watching Game of Thrones for the seventh time. They will surely know how it acts out and how it ends. For this reason I am perhaps not so optimistic as others about life in the Championship.

for most of us on here it's not I would suggest. It's boring and unnecessary, if you need to carry on this playground behaviour why not do it by direct messaging not in public.

And you really think that people need to see your comment? Unbelievable.

That is a seriously twisted comment. Halve the medication or get help.

……unless they watch PL football on a regular basis. It’s like the officials all have a different rule book to each other.

Isn’t the whole point about VAR to do away with inconsistency in implementing rules. If it isn’t then what is the point of it?

You don't seem to be allowing for that in your very black-and-white analysis of yesterday's decision.

They might as well as from what I've seen this season especially no two of them seem to have the same interpretation of the laws.

Than of the average football fan? Hmmmm…..

This. Imagine the team with no Ramsdale, KWP, THB, Downes, Fernandez and Dibling. No bright young things from the academy, nobody worth a damn wanting to come here. That could well be us in the Championship next year, still playing suicide football. I don’t think this is unwarranted pessimism, I would rather think of it as being pragmatic. And yet there are those who seem to think we will once again take it by storm (not that we did last year but you know what I mean).

Based on what? It can’t be on much of what we have witnessed this season.

Saints in the first half was exactly why I spend my time moaning about them. Saints in the second half was a team, win, lose or draw, with which I could start enjoying my football again and have something to cheer about.

From the amount of time they took to make the decision it had to be subjective. I thought the whole point of introducing VAR was to take subjectivity out of the equation.

As things stand it wouldn't have stood in the championship either as the ref called it offside.

I thought he told him to get a haircut

I don't understand football anymore. They have right royally fucked it up

I think they're brave and I'm proud of them where's my tenner Russ

So are all the rest of them

Or even worse ruffled his hair.

Local derbies against Eastleigh

Then why didn't they do the decent thing and make that abundantly clear before we all bought season tickets?

I note that he doesn’t make the obvious point that the team is better without him in it.

Since you ask yes. Pretty much 100% of the pompous crap you pen is.
