  1. Wouldn’t he want to take all the free kicks near the penalty area , so just nicking JWP’s goals ?
  2. Hart doing well for Celtic says BBC sport https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/60961521 Perhaps McC can go there for rehab !
  3. Salisu made a couple of good tackles but at the end the Philips one was nearly a penalty . On slow mo he seemed to catch Philips's foot before getting the ball but unusually VAR gave Saints benefit of the doubt !!
  4. I remember JWP before he perfected his free kicks , when there was not much expectation of a goal ! He has certainly improved massively since those days .
  5. Like all big money sports tournaments the draw is rigged by seeding players/teams to make sure the big teams/players get an easier ride to the final. F1 showed how bias can work last race of last season . Remember when Ferrari got all the decisions in their favour ?
  6. Vest to Everton (says Football Insider) still splashing the cash then 😄
  7. Why do they stop a match to make a sub ? Well wait for a break , if the sub has been checked by the 4th official as soon as the player being subbed comes off the pitch the sub can come on while the game is in progress . VAR can check if only 11 players at any one time .
  8. Obviously rugby and football should be at the front of the campaign as aspects of their sport are know to cause brain diseases . The removal of names is to highlight the memory problems of this type of illness .
  9. As I said Shearer is one of the best ever despite his Achilles rupture that slowed him down towards the end .
  10. Well you know how important it is that everybody is aware of this disease and how it should be avoided in sport . There is the hereditary factor as well but even the NFL has tried to reduce head injuries so football and rugby should be at the front of the campaign to reduce the chances of Alzheimers disease .
  11. Shaw interview after England match was strange , saying he liked playing for England as he felt supported , unlike Man U !
  12. It was part of fundraising for this match , the link is to the players that have been damaged by constant heading of the ball over the years which caused this condition . The PFA have failed to support these players and haven’t done much to highlight their problem. The FA as well have failed these players , some action has been taken for youngsters but not enough yet. It is an even worse problem in Rugby where much younger players have shown to have major damage from concussion . Their inaction was highlighted in the 6 nations tournament where a Welsh player passed the rudimentary concussion test by their “medical team” and returned to the pitch staggering ! Concussion can take some time to show symptoms so any player suspected of concussion should be stopped from taking further part in the match and for weeks after . There was another incident where the player lost consciousness briefly but it was ignored . To sum up it is not nonsense it is a real , and from my own experience of people with this condition , a terrible disease that should be avoided at all costs.
  13. Shearer has to be up there , he is still top on scorers charts as we are shown on motd ! I liked him at Saints , able , like MLT to score from anywhere .
  14. Vest scores for Denmark 🙂 although they are 3-1 down
  15. Well No he isn't but can you compare across the decades ? Modern players are under more pressure these days plus the fitness requirements , no pre match 3 pints and catch a bus to the ground. Over training is now a feature of all sports , even golf after Tiger shook the tour up. Barty has shown the way to go to avoid the treadmill of ever increasing matches , just look at the old crocks Federer , Nadal , Murray , multi millionaires still trying to carry on .
  16. Although he won't be ' in the middle' next season he will be a full time VA Ref apparently ☹️
  17. So magic of the FA Cup is now history , top 3 in the league in semi finals thanks to disparity in funding , new rules on wages and 'fair play ' required but probably will never happen.
  18. A new keeper would have to be the real deal not one one on the cheap who may or may not make the grade.
  19. City have blown it , scored too early ……
  20. Here’s hoping Grealish doesn’t score , unless it’s a last minute consolation goal 😃
  21. They are pretty annoying at the match as they chant the same thing all match regardless ! Much worse than OWTS plus I have no idea what they are saying .
  22. Poor old Bamford , lasted 23 mins before going off injured and it’s 1-0 to Wolves
  23. So a bunch of out of context headlines Zelensky only came to power in 2019 and good luck for trying to turn around a corrupt country etc.
  24. Well done Chelsea for continuing in the Putin / Abromovic line of victimology . Yes what an unfair advantage 'boro would have with home fans only , pathetic any lingering sympathy has evaporated now.
  25. If this is supposed to be ironic it's not it's Moronic
