Re: Motd

There's a woman who does the co-comms on the early BT Sport game on a Saturday who is very good. I think the issue is that for whatever reason pretty much all the channels have decided that punditry ability is no longer a required attribute to be a pundit.

You know, it was incredibly annoying having halfwits slating Kompany after a defeat. Now we have them doing it after a win. The only controversial thing is why this board allows threads like this to develop. Feels like wading through a cesspit. Only came on to do my player ratings. There are half a...

Against 11 men we’d have been 1-0 up with nothing to suggest we were about to get “comfortably” beaten.

Our view wasn’t ideal. So:

Was there goal offside (took an age to confirm)?
Was it a penalty (seemed harsh)?
Should Wharton have got a 2nd yellow?
Should our goal have stood?

If there was no VAR we'd still have drawn with Luton as the on field officials gave the goal.

Yeah but without the safety net of VAR maybe the ref would been a big enough boy to make his own decision?
