Don’t be daft.

And the Lib Dems aren’t the liberal party. The illiberal party more like.

If true it’s a massive issue. Giles & Shearer have both said it, so maybe there’s something in it. The VAR can basically say “it should be disallowed and here’s the footage to back that opinion up”.

They’re pretty much all Lib Dems anyway. The membership is still comprised of Tories, but apart from a few honourable exceptions, most MP’s haven’t got a conservative bone in their body.

According to John Giles on The Stand podcast, the VAR official decides which footage the referee sees pitch side. Therefore if the VAR thinks it’s a foul he only shows footage that backs this up, rather than another angle which may create more doubt. I don’t know if true, but it could be, there’s so much footage that the ref probably can’t watch every angle of an incident in an acceptable timescale.

Thomas was the Mike Dean of the day, a complete and utter cock that wanted to be the centre of attention. He could have blown before the kick was taken, he loved the limelight, mincing off pointing at his watch.

I’m calling pony.

Don’t talk bloody wet, it’s a man’s game.

I was watching BT and the token bird they had on was arguing with the ex pros that the West Ham goal was a foul and VAR rightly disallowed it. So it’s not just referees that are idiots, some people who make their living being pundits are also clueless. Perhaps BT should suspend her for a game or two.

You can’t score with your hand, whether intentional or not. It doesn’t matter if it’s in a natural position, or any other consideration. If you’re lying unconscious on the 6 yard line and the ball runs over your hand into the goal, it’s ruled out. It’s a factual decision whereas handball in every other circumstance is subjective.

Fucking hell I had the misfortune to turn on the chicks hundred. The state of some of them, hundred balls? , hundred pies more like.

Legendary 😂😂😂😂

Just as bad as proclaiming we’ve bought in more quality, despite not having a fucking clue who they are, or ever seen them play. Priceless.

How on earth can you judge the transfer window only hours after it’s closed. It’s a pony thread with pony replies. 8 out of 10, 9 out of 10, nobody can make any judgements yet, people who claim they can, are bluffing.

😂 you’ve more chance of going to the moon in a shoe box. That ship sailed years ago, so last century.

Proper footballer and decent bloke. There wasn’t any doubt he’d leave in a classy manner.

I heard or read (can’t remember which)an interview with an agent who basically said they’re an insurance policy in case the player becomes world class. Buy back clauses mean you can get the player back if you want, but just as importantly you can stop him strengthening a rival. Mo Salah & KdB spring to mind, let go by Chelsea, now world class & plying their trade with 2 of their rivals. In the extremely unlikely event that Tino or one of the others kicks on to that sort of level, going back to the selling club is already a done deal.

At Altamont they provided the security……… for $500 worth of beer … 🤪 Ended up knocking out one of the Jefferson Airplane, stabbing Stephen Stills with a bike spoke, and famously stabbing a fan to death. Peace & love man.

If you think players only choose Everton over us because of money, you’re deluded.

My PoTM was Walker-Peters. Thought he was excellent early on and posed a real threat that side.

Debating managers on a thread about the manager. There’s a thread at the top of the page where you can celebrate the game.

I was merely pointing out to the poster who claimed that Ralph had dome “amazingly” by keeping us in this league, that Hughes had done the same. Keeping us in a league we’ve been in around 90% of the past 50 years isnt that great an achievement.

Fucking hell, you’re blaming Hughes for that? We had 1 win in 17 and were 1 point off relegation when he took over, that was down to Peligrino how ever much you try and rewrite it.

Mark Hughes joined us when we were in the shit,no money, and players who were underperforming. He kept us in the league, and got us to a semi final. It’s not really that much of an achievement. Admittedly, he didn’t have the “brilliant “ moments, but the lows weren’t quite as low as some of the thrashing and embarrassing performances under Ralph. I think it’s indisputable that we’ve had false dawns under him. It’s not negative, it’s pretty factual.
