At some point I'm gonna look at how many points Newcastle have taken against the top 10, and bottom 10. Because from a brief recollection they seem to have taken lots of points from the top 10, and dropped lots against the bottom 10 (except us)

It's a pointless exercise if 2 points is the outcome Cheating pays, sadly What is really frustrating, is that one of the mitigating arguments for the first penalty was that they had taken steps to improve things, as I understand it. But the latest financial suggest they are again going in the wrong ...

There's definitely a bias when it comes to yellow cards. And I say this, we'll aware that I, too, am biased. But I often look at the end of games, where we will have 2 or 3 more yellows than the opposition, thinking we've been kicked all over the park, and have been the victim of countless cynical f...

Apologies for going off thread but compare yesterday's penalty and sending off and the one that still irritates me, Tim Krul almost taking Vydras head off a few seasons ago and absolutely nothing given. It is slightly off thread, but it backs up the argument of most posts on here. The level of "fou...

I wasn't at the game, so can't score But having watched the penalty decision numerous times, I can confidently say one thing The only way you give that decision is if you are actively trying to provide an advantage to one team I knew there was an incident to watch out for when I was watching, and I ...

Arguably our most improved player, but left back, never in a million years

Arguably his best performance for us last season was at LB (away v Wigan)

I suspect the highly paid Man City lawyers will do a deal with the PL. To go to Court and lose would be a disaster for the lawyers in terms of income and reputation

Citeh likewise will not take the risk

Haven't Forest hired the same lawyer as Man City?

Roosterbooster

Isn't the City one much more complicated though?
They didn't overspend as such as far as I can tell
Their issues revolve around overinflated sponsorship, which they argue are offset by the risk of the investment turning a profit in the future

It's semantics. But it's important legally

Had they accepted Brentford's £30 million offer for Brennan Johnson there would have been no case to answer. They waited a month and got double that from Spurs but went past the accounting period. I'm not sure there are many tricks there.

Amd as a result should face the consequences

Some strange thinking on here, you might not Amdouni as a player. But we were crying out for some quality forward play to finish the game off. Berge the crab just kept passing sideways to Charlie who refused to cross, so gave it back and repeat. We had a man advantage, why would we want a runner on...

He probably did but VAR check everything and VAR was lost for a period

If he did see it but still didn't give the pen until VAR told him then that's even more damning

I thought he was dreadful

Roosterbooster

It would (should) be : Forest 24 Luton 21 Burnley 21 Blades 14 I think this is conservative Penalty last minute v Bournemouth also missed by VAR 2 pts from safety and still to play the team in 17th at home completely changes the picture

Branthwaite has arguably been one of the CBs of the season

Not sure how anyone can criticise that decision

Agree

The Everton fans I know have already resigned themselves to the fact he's going to a top 6 club for £30m plus in the summer

They think he's going all the way to the top

Remarkable stuff. Surely we can limit the goals conceded in one half of football to 2 and come away with a point?

Not that it really matters either way

What if Forest get deducted 4-6 points.....

Lets have more teams in the lower leagues

What's the issue here?

Roosterbooster

Imagine two leagues of 22 I've often thought you could have 2 PLs Either PL1 with 14-16 teams (assuming they play more games elsewhere with internationals, longer Cup runs, Europe etc) and PL2 with 18-20 teams. Then split the remaining leagues with whats left (possibly including NL, and maybe NL N&...

Perhaps one day the PL will be expanded a bit from 20 up by letting others apply to enter. And the divisions a bit like the nfl with play-offs and a superbowl type PL final, keeps more clubs in contention for longer and no relegation. Could go to say 36 teams which I think the nfl number. Is this a...

no (but it doesn't make things better). It means some games have 2 refs whilst others only have one, it's just unfair full stop.

no because goal line tech is not subjective. VAR is re-refereeing the game, they are 100% different ends of the scale and to add to that VAR is not reducing errors nor increasing fairness.

So is your argument against it that VAR doesn't make things better?

Roosterbooster

the main point is that not all the games are played in the same way, it's an absolute farce But they all play by the same rules, VAR or not And it's the same for both teams playing against each other I'm no fan of VAR. And I'd scrap it tomorrow But as the point of VAR is to reduce errors, and incre...

Every week I see the officials list, and I despair

Who are the actual good referees?

Roosterbooster

I haven’t read all the posts but if Everton receive a further points reduction presumably that will not be know until next season which seems wrong if they as looks likely stay up this season. If they appeal, it would be concluded the week or so after the season end. And apply to the current season
