It would’t be be a major issue because of the nature of what I’ve proposed. In front of Bob Lord would be done first, so the Cricket field could stay open until this is finished, by which time the there would be extra capacity to allow us to then shut and knockdown the Cricket Field. We might even ...

Ref did well to stay on his feet. He had every right to go down.

Wow

I’m not sure if the person running the Twitter account has ever seen anything like that before.

How long is it that this rule has been in place? I was always under the impression that a goal couldn’t be scored, direct from a goal kick? Either there has been a change or I have always been wrong!! I’m not sure, but Bosscat posted the proof at 21.14, so it’s been in place for at least 9 minutes.

how on earth was that not a pen to WHU ?

Seems to me that the bar for overturning a referee’s decision has increased in height as the season’s gone on. Frustrating to see such inconsistencies.

Rileybobs

Surely by now people have grasped that it isn’t easy to sign players early in transfer windows. If we want to sign good players we have to accept that other clubs will also be interested in these players. The selling club and the players will be aware of this and will know that they both have the be...

I would have been furious had we scored it and it be ruled out !! Need Hammers to step it up and get the win Still haven’t seen it since my comment so I’ll reserve further judgement until I have.

disagree, when you see the angle from behind the goal the ball doesn't even go in the corner and Fabianski makes a full dive for it.

I’ll have to have another look. Looked to me like he was slow to dive.

nah, quite a distance away from the keeper

either way not good for us

I don’t know what the law states, but whilst he didn’t interfere with Fabianski’s line of sight, his positioning definitely impacts Fabianksi’s ability to save the shot.

Rileybobs

That should be offside for me. Looks like the keeper hesitated in diving because he thought the player stood in an offside position was going to get a touch on it.

When the club offered the refund, they did tell anyone that taking the money out could mean they pay more for 2021/22 and that there may be no direct debit.

This happens often when the big boys meet, the objective seems to be not to lose rather than win, it was exactly the same in the Manchester derby last month, safety first attitude and keep it tight, which is bizarre when you see the talent at these sides disposal.

I always thought it was ridiculous but what about our "goal" yesterday if the assistant had got it wrong we wouldn't have been happy.

No, but I'd rather the assistant had flagged so that I know whether the goal was likely to be chalked off.

Rileybobs

I get your viewpoint completely but for me as soon as we decide to use technology then we need to try and get the decision right and ensure there is as little complexity for the players My wider view is that we should leave decisions up to the officials and accept they will make mistakes but whilst...

Rileybobs

I can understand and sympathise that perspective (though to me it seems straight forward that an attacking move is always allowed to play out) but I would rather it catch out and confuse some of the crowd than it catch out a player who by seeing a flag and momentarily stopping could give a goal awa...

Rileybobs

Yes but as you say it caused confusion. The AR actually still makes a decision once the goal threat is over so for example if it is allowed to continue and the keeper makes a save which goes behind for a corner but the AR thought it was offside they would then raise their flag and it would be a fre...

I really don't understand the praise that Potter gets to be honest. They're a bang average side and don't play particularly great football from what I've seen - he certainly hasn't taken the team forward much from where they were under Hughton. He seems like a thoroughly decent chap, but I don't rea...

Rileybobs

Quite enjoyed that to be honest. Game on a knife edge throughout. Surprised there wasn't a winner.

Rileybobs

Could the AR not still flag but the referee allow play to continue in the case of goal scoring opportunities. Pretty sure that’s what they did originally. It led to some confusion as some players saw the flag and stopped, but it is up to them to play to the whistle. This is another example of the sp...

i just CANNOT STAND dennis taylor.

Dennis Taylor was a educating the viewers on what the ferrule was last night. He said the ferrule is the little brass thing made of titanium on the end of the cue.

Rileybobs

He was on the cover for Pieters. That was his duty. How many times do you see a full back come across and cover in the middle when central defenders have been pulled away? Taylor does it on countless occasions. They all shift across. As he was covering for Pieters he will do the same. I accept your...

You should start a McNeil thread and pop that in it.

Actually if you do the whole team we could keep it all in one thread.

I provided McNeill’s statistic as a yardstick. Because on the face of it, a 26% cross accuracy sounds quite decent to me.

He was covering for the left back, at fault end of.

Just because you say end of, doesn’t mean it is the end of. I’ve posted my reasoning about why I think Tarkowski was out of position above. Why not counter the points I raised there?

Rileybobs

Robert Brady is an Irish professional footballer who plays as a winger for Premier League club Burnley and the Republic of Ireland national team. He can also play as a left-back......NO HE CAN'T as seen today! Ignoring the fact that Brady wasn't playing at left back, since when is it the left-back'...

As were going for stats rather than the use of 'eyes', I've just seen that his cross accuracy stat is 26%.

Okay not 'zero' but frustratingly not good enough.

Just a tad above Dwight McNeill's cross accuracy for the season which is 23%.

Rileybobs

If you watch just before the cross comes in Tarks even looks round at him and motions with his arm to look after Antonio. Basic rule of defending is get goal side. He failed. That said the biggest fault was Tarks for not shouting to Mee to leave the ball. Probably too busy telling Brady to cover. T...

Rileybobs

Because he is the wrong side of Antonio and basically stops and watches him score. Pieters had tracked Bowden, Mee and Tarks had the middle, Brady should have dropped into the Pietrrs position. So you think that our left midfielder should have been picking up the only West Ham player who was in a p...

Rileybobs

If you discount the times he was turning back on himself because he cannot use his right foot, the number will be zero. And his set piece deliveries were poor all game. Corners hit the first man. Free kick hit the wall. And then his spectator role the wrong side of Antonio for their goal. That asid...

If we’re all resigned to the fact that we’re going to get relegated sooner rather than later, then I’d at least hope we can start being a bit more entertaining in the process.

I don't think anyone is resigned to us being relegated sooner rather than later.
