Re: Toney

Toney is a decent footballer with an eye for goal. He is big and strong and puts himself about forcefully as was seen in their rightly disallowed goal on Saturday. He then somehow seems to lose all his strength, power & balance when he gets anywhere near the ‘special gravity zone’ and over he goes. ...

Re: The pitchside screen

I didn’t go on Saturday, I’ve had enough of VAR & the PL. I watched the game ‘elsewhere’ & it took me 3 secs to see that he was onside & possibly upto 2 secs to see the obvious foul. VAR then needed 5 minutes to give what any half-blind referee should be giving. It was blatant, clear & obvious yet h...

Re: RATE THE REF - Lewis Smith v Crystal Palace

He turned up on time, brought his kit & remembered his whistle. That’s about all he got right. VAR was, as usual, not fit for purpose, it’s akin to match fixing.

I’ve been watching Burnley for 51 years now & this is probably my last season.

Another inept referee that cannot see what’s in front of him. Referees have now stopped making decisions as they sit back & wait for VAR to intervene. Similarly some of the offsides not given by the liners were 2-3 yards off. The game has been ruined.
