He doesn’t stay unemployed for long

And it doesn't have Bamboozle, which is annoying!

(Although admittedly that was C4 Teletext, not Ceefax!)

Do you get adverts for all inclusive holidays every page though?

That would be proper retro

For those of you of a certain age who would like to bring a touch of nostalgia to following the football, I’ve just seen on Twitter that there’s a Ceefax app called Telescore.

It is the main way I will be checking the latest scores and tables from now on!

Do you actually have to type '339' on your phone to get that page and so on?

Shows how much revenue Man Utd make even without success

Still allows them to spend

 

[Lord Tyrion]

Still making a loss though. £33m according to BBC Sport. That's one transfer for that season, fairly manageable.

Saying that, all the turnover in the world is irrelevant if you keep making a loss (turnover is for vanity goes the cry)

70% reduction in losses- just how much were they paying the catering staff they laid off?!?!?!

How the heck did he give that ?!

That’s interfering surley.
Nothing with VAR suprizes me now.

Was coming though.

It was a clear yellow mate. Swansea player completely took his legs out.

ETA. Oops, sorry you’re probably talking about a different game to the Forest v Swansea one aren’t you?

Yeah not sure how they haven’t disallowed it

 

[Lord Tyrion]

I'm chuckling that it stood but that really was a shocker in the Liverpool game. How was he not interfering?

At least they got the penalty one right.

But how did he give it in the first place.
We think our refs are bad but some of these European ones are awful.

That’s a dive.

The linesman must of thought either he wasn’t interfering or I won’t bother and let VAR sort it out.

I reckon if he puts his flag up then it gets disallowed but most officials seem to use the crutch of VAR for decisions now instead of making the decision they believe is correct and letting VAR change it if it’s clear they were wrong

Even if they bottle it on the field, it's clear that it was wrong to the VAR. You can watch it twice to stretch out the process but once would be enough for most people.

 

[garyinderry]

Keeper actually more unsighted on that one than the first one.

It's a great finish and would be a shame for it to be ruled out.

 

[IanM]

Liverpool are the third leg of my treble... no late penalty tonight!

 

[Lucifer MorningStar]

An Ange team blows a 2 goal lead again . In fairness they should be out of sight but haven’t taken their chances and not much they could do with that equaliser.

What’s Simeone doing
