The Footie Thread

Not just any seat, it was a padded seat aswell?

We've had this discussion before so i'll be brief, we need a new influx of referees and Mike Riley needs leggin. I think PL refs are being micro managed by Riley.

OO, get you.

How many asked were the corporate buffet was?

 

[Liverbirdie]

It will because the next man cant continue to make a balls of how VAR is used.
Out of all the recommendations for the ref to go the screen none have been upheld. On the balance of probability of that happening is about 3000000/1

It wont mate, it may solve a lot but not all.

Brighton keeper yesterday, Havertz today plus a few others. Its not Riley in their head for these decisions its just shocking refereeing.

????? none.

Padded seats come as a standard at the Amex.

Solving 50% would still make a massive improvement to refereeing.

If Riley isnt in their heads why is there fewer Screen referrals and 0 decisons being upheld?

Ita almost like their trying to sabbotage each other.

Think the relegation battle is now two from three. Goodbye Norwich and think Leeds will scramble enough ugly points. The only bonus for Everton fans is the games in hand but no good if you can't win them.

Im not sure you thought that through H??

Depends if you're glass half full or half empty. Three games in hand over Leeds and Watford so you could say great, a chance for 9 points (yes I know) or the pessimists could say they won't win them and once level on points could be in bottom three and struggling. When Fulham were battling last season, I wanted the points on the board and let the others try and win the games in hand. Shame they did!

I agree with your sentiments but not the amounts you think will improve.

Who will be the new refereeing head who will oversee this revolution?

Someone from another league that has a good track record of implementing VAR (I don't know of any, just making a suggestion). We have managers and players from all around the world, why do the referees have to be home grown?

I never said they should be home grown.

Ok, who should be this revolutionary, foreign, VAR testing guru extraordinaire, then?

A bit like being charged by the fa, when was the time someone was charged and then found not guilty?

Stevie Wonder would be a massive improvement on Riley. I dont know many refs personally but when i"ve heard Halsey on the radio he tends to speak a lot of sense.

I'm assuming the premier league own the PGMOL so its upto Richard Masters to sort out. He cannot sit there and be happy with how the use of VAR and the standard of refereeing are currently being served up week after week.

Anybody but Peter Walton would be an improvement on Riley ?

….Anybody but Peter Walton would be an improvement on Riley ?

Sorry Stu, but Walton would be an improvement on Riley; barely, but an improvement nonetheless. Stevie would be a bigger improvement though ?

I see at the Match of Shame yesterday Chelsea fans continued to disgrace themselves while Toon supporters, who I used to have a lot of time for, acted like total scum with their lauding of a murderous regime in Saudi Arabia.... In traditional Kevin Keegan speak I'd loov it if the government came for them next. Not much chance though.

I have a confession to make...... I'm a Scunthorpe United fan. God knows what I did in a former life to deserve this!

I wouldn’t believe everything you read in the papers, in particular The Daily Mail.
I noticed that despite ALL the photos there wasn’t one shown of The Toon Army waiving a Saudi flag ?
Capital punishment is dished out in America, but no uproar about that !!
In the right circumstances, maybe if we had capital punishment the crime right wouldn’t be so high.
Toon fans chanting “they have more money” is purely banter as Chelsea fans have lauded it long enough ?
Despite common among clubs, Chelsea seem to have far more arrogant and cocky fans. So maybe it’s time they were brought down a peg or two ?

Wouldn't surprise me if they had taken Saudi flags to other games as well. To isolate one occurrence of what likely happens every weekend, and directly relate it (and infer support) to a report of a shocking mass execution in SA the day before, is simply lazy journalism designed to do nothing more than provoke reaction. I notice that not one single report (out of dozens on the web) actually shows any images of said flags being flown.

The Mirror version of the story was backed up with a picture that...

1) Had no Newcastle fans in it
2) Did not show any Saudi Flag
3) Did not appear to be of Stamford Bridge!!! (certainly not the ground as it was yesterday....maybe 20-30 years ago)

are you suggesting that the Daily Mail is shite stirring?

So because it’s reported in the Mail it’s somehow Non-News?

Here’s the BBC reporting the same thing, calling it the “sportwashing” derby too!?

Alas no pics so you will have to take the Beebs word for but they are pretty reliable?

Not saying our pimps are perfect and our reported takeover By Daniel Kretinsky is in doubt as one of Kretinsky's main sources of income, EP Infrastructure, is on the government negative watchlist as it owns a pipeline that carries Russian oil and gas through Slovakia.

So we could be stuck with Statler and Waldorf.


Although in all honesty, if Kretinsky is unwittingly helping Putin's regime in whatever minor way it's a small price to pay.

Gold & Sullivan have made their fortunes through porn, (but it's good, honest, British porn?) so we can look those plastics who were chanting Roman's name the other night in the face and say 'not us'
