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...
