Have you attended any of our games this season?
Season ticket holder. I hate this season. I’ve had enough.
But it doesnt change the fact I think that these kids have to be our future.

That does sound like a logistical nightmare tbf.
I think, personally, the only way we’ll ever see a review for a yellow is if they introduce sin bins - like rugby.
And that wont happen.

The club (an employee of the club) knew of Everton fans having tickets 30 mins before KO.
I was in the ticket office when a punter admitted it to a lass behind the counter. Her response was along the lines of ‘we’ll have to get them removed then’

The only time i think you’d have bother is if it was on the road with no road tax/MOT
Insurance, if on your drive is optional.
In my humble opinion. The chance of something happening in the 24hrs is slim. But done at your own risk/cost

The defender ran up to the keeper and batted the ball out of his hand. Why does the referee have to take all the blame? Couldn't the defender have in some way managed to avoid giving away a penalty, simply by not batting the ball out of the keeper's hand? We see this a lot from managers. Players do...

If the player intended to only touch the glove….

No point even discussing the refs decision to award handball.

We finished the season with 101 frigging points, 10 clear of the next best (and we bought their best player) and another team in the league has effectively started this year with minus 10 points. There has never been a better time to have been promoted in recent history. I agree. Time wise its a fa...

As some of us constantly re-iterated last year to the point of tedium. VK always had to replace 7 to 8 of the last season's first team due to the loanees and the age of the likes of Cork, Barnes, Jay Rod and JBG. The fact that two of those are playing and a third would likely be featured if he was ...

Hasn’t this already been rebuffed numerous times though?

It Doesnt take a documentary to tell me replacing a whole squad in two windows is both problematic and financially more difficult.

Last season was a slow burn, with the turnover of players and the step up we’d be foolish to think it wouldnt be similar.
Out of the teams in our mini division;
Forest, Luton we’ve played 2, (both away) and got 4 points.
Lads this team will grow. As will our manager. Give it time to grow.

Ive used a ‘go compare’ type site called ‘shiply’

If im correct in the assumption of a tower, maybe open it up take out the card - and re attach?

As we all Know, VAR just gives the big club two chances to get the decision they want. The reffing is worse as a result too.
