Gives you hope if someone like Stormzy is making music we don't get. We're not supposed to, our parents no doubt ridiculed 'shed banging' music in the early 90s but it didn't seem to stop dance music becoming what it is. I'd rather 'the kids' were listening to something we're supposed to hate than a...

:D The blue is the third shirt from 89-91 White was the away I waited for months after my birthday for the white but they never came into stock for a 12 yr old so my grandma placated me with the blue one - still got it - but 42 yr old me doesn’t fit in it :) Yeah, that’s brought the pain back!

Agree with your last paragraph totally.... And there are some very good footballers but the overhyping analysis and bullsh!t again from the pundits at the interval has me reaching for the sick Bucket and the off button......this is all about BBC viewing figures and parity in pay....in my humble opi...

It's encouraging to see people at least open their minds to it - I used to be the same when it came to watching it - but as said on this thread, once you stop making pointless comparisons to men's football, it's alright. The lack of play acting is a refreshing change, shame the men can't 'man up' li...

Wow! Even with the animosity of it simply being a post by IT and the Pythonesque love of arguing on this board I still would have honestly thought this would be one topic where we'd all be on the same side. If nothing else, it'll flush out the absolute nutjobs from the harmless if ignorant mouth-br...

I expect after a few months of the season when everyone has got used to it all this 'VAR controversy' media talk will calm down. It's been around over a year, I'd say there's more controversy and anger towards it than when it was first introduced, and it's not been in the Prem yet. Obviously it'll ...

My maths isn't great, but I presume 1,400 people of the 2,000 asked said they want faster action.

If Dyche really does want to replicate Allardyce's career, this is a logical move.

It'd be nice if football funded some of the treatment, considering how much they push the cause.

The fella in the video is a coward. He didn't feel threatened at all, just furious about a mouthy woman interrupting his posh dinner.

This is tricky for the same reasons as above. Marney and Jones delivered week in, week out for a long time. Or is it Barton and Defour because of Joey's inspirational leadership dragging us to promotion when we were floundering a bit, and Defour simply because he's the most talented footballer I've ...

VAR is supposed to minimise the human element of refereeing and help foolproof it. Who do you think is looking at the telly, if not a human? The most farcical thing about VAR - and it's a competitive field - is how people still talk about bringing 'the technology' in. It's a TV. We've had them sinc...

Sure is Rowls. Time to lower the tone.

My first pill in August '94 down Blackburn. Bliss it was in that dawn to be alive. But to be young was very heaven.

See how next season pans out but I’m already not that arsed about watching games with VAR.

Hopefully it settles down but just watching normal football at local non-league genuinely feels more appealing now than this pixel perfect sequence of TV clips.

I couldn’t see Hillsborough coming close to being selected Can't see it happening anyway, but I reckon Bramhall Lane would be chosen now for Sheffield.

To be fair to Jeremy on this one, it's a few years since he took cash to appear on Iran's state owned broadcaster, so he's probably genuine now he's not getting paid to say things on their behalf.

It would be like us signing Messi, pretty pointless on the pitch because he'd be so far ahead of the rest of the players we wouldn't get the ball to and from him at the right times. Not sure. I reckon Lionel Messi could probably improve us, and I say that as a fan of Ashley Westwood's effort last s...

Couple of issues here. It's not that funny, and that's the big one. If you're going to stick your neck out being 'edgy' at least make it worthwhile.

The VAR decision for the penalty last night was a joke. Its a bit worrying, but thats the sort of decision VAR should be reversing, not checking and deciding it is a penalty. It'll go under the radar a bit as it's the Women's World Cup but if that's the criteria for a penalty now - and we have to a...

You would like a well staffed and well maintained public sector - and preferably one paid for properly, rather than on PFI. Same with me.

I think given when you voted for Labour, it could be described as “against a Tory Party that was all over the place” Unless the Iraq War played a part in why you didn’t vote Labour in 2005, or Labour was too rightwing for you before Corbyn (as it was for me), then I’d imagine Labour will have to fi...

These telly refs are making the game less enjoyable. The arguments over anything other than offsides are just that.. arguments. Some will agree with the telly ref, some won't.

Always wary around any discussion on 'race'. The more you try and stick labels and quotas on people, the more ridiculous it gets. We're all African at some point afterall.

Exactly right agreenwood. Unfortunately some middle-aged men find it impossible to grasp that something doesn't exist purely for them to enjoy. Women's football is for girls and women to play. They really enjoy it. Some of them get really good at it, albeit it will always be a different sport to men...

Not bothered about this. Always curious though as to how you decide who’s ‘BAME’ in a world which is increasingly mixed race - a great thing by the way. Is there someone sat with a colour chart?

Same as every VAR debate, it’s not about ‘the technology‘ making decisions, it’s a man looking at a telly forming an opinion open to interpretation. Much like a ref used to, but slower.
