When I played amateur football we used to give the refs a mark out of 10 does this happen at pro level?

Dy1geo

If a defender made that tackle out of the box it would be lauded but because a goal keeper made it, Ref gives a pen.
Don’t normally argue against pens as think you can view it through claret glasses but that was not a pen

Although we were playing in the lowest league for someone like myself who only started watching mid 80’s they were good times with honest pro’s like Deakin which culminated in the Mullen promotion year which for me was the most enjoyable of our promotions.

AFTV do provide some content and I like the way they disagreed about the sending off. It reminds me of the guy who sits behind me at the Turf who has the strongest “Burnley Goggles “ that you can get and he is always wearing them. If it was the other way round he would be arguing for a Westwood send...

Hendrick to me is a player that needs a team to play a certain way, when he played with Defour and Cork some of the football we played was great to watch. It is when fans expect him to do things that don’t suit his style that can make him look ordinary, he isn’t a right midfielder that will beat a m...

I mentioned on the heading in football thread that if it is banned it will be litigation that will ultimately bring an end to it.

Actually watching live at the event,

1) Horse Racing -
2) Football
3) Cricket

Never watch

1) Formula 1 -
2) Rugby Union at any level
3) Basketball

Spiral I read you reply and do understand the point that you are making but to me Gambling is unique in that it is one “addiction” that for many doesn’t do any harm whilst providing positive endorphins. Many will put on their first goal scorer on a Saturday and it won’t affect them, cigarettes cause...

I have no real issue regarding Gambling sponsorship in sport, just because a large roulette chip is on the front of a shirt doesn’t make me want to throw my money on red but I understand that some people have an issue with gambling, the question has to be asked do they gamble because of the sponsors...

If we are in tier 2 we will sell out the full 2000 allocation?

Dy1geo

The problem is we have had both pleasing on the eye and getting results in our time in the Prem. When Defour was in the team I think we had the perfect balance but let’s face it we only got him because of his previous injury history and unless we are very lucky are unlikely to get his type of player...

Hi 2BH, see my post above about misleading and being misunderstood.... also, my comments about people at different stages in their lives and different personal situations. That being said, the OP is not saying "I've got £38,000 to gamble with....." He's saying I've got £38k of savings and I'm happy...

We need to take more risks, McNeill won ball had a run at their man turned back and ball ended up back at Peacock for a punt upfield

Mine is like the TV used to sound after the TV programmes went off years ago. It really bothered me at first but now only occasionally, still loud when going to sleep, I was told to use the white noise rule I.e go into the Kitchen and actively listen for noise and concentrate on listening to them an...

I thought he stood out for CP but to me it was because Lowts was poor, he used to get a lot of protection from Hendrick and I for one would have Bardsley in ahead of him

Dy1geo

As I understand it, this is SO WRONG ! So many matches have been "Away Wins" this season, far more than ever before. Allow fans (Probably Home Fans Only) in to Brighton, Sarfhamton and Fulham Home games will give them an unfair edge. Either ALL teams, or NONE ! I do agree regarding fairness but fan...

Poor defending backing off to let Batshuayi have a run and get his shot off

Dy1geo

Here’s hoping that we are Tier 2 on Sunday Lucy Powell said we might be put in that tier due to us being in highest restrictions for so long and R rate below 1 and numbers falling etc

If 2000 fans are allowed - I will say it now, those at Hereford (0-6 game) should be given priority

My Sky Sports package was up for renewal in July and was going to cancel and now wished I had as I now watch hardly any matches the Tottenham v West Ham was the last one, don’t even watch MOTD. What I have started watching is The Big Match revisited on a Saturday morning and really enjoying it, the ...

The best football I've seen from us since Stan's days was some of easy on the eye stuff under Coyle, to be honest.

I wasn’t around in the 70’s but I watched us on the Big Match revisited on Saturday in a game v QPR and the football we played there was good to watch

It will be a lawsuit that brings an end to heading in football. Eventually it will be proven that this side of the game brought on early onset dementia and other neurological illnesses. Personally it wouldn’t bother me if it went but if they were to get rid they might start on an incremental basis s...

It would certainly not have been right for him to get in the side after our poor start because he was suffering with two hernia ops. Afterwards, in the second half of the season, it's unrealistic to say that either Mee or Tarkowski should have been dropped simply because Gibson's career was sufferi...

Dy1geo

Tarkowski was at the club for 18 months before he got into the first team. Gibson was at the club for 18 months before he left in a (presumed) sulk because he hadn't yet got into the first team. If he hadn't left, he would be in the team now IMO and Tarkowski would have left. (No, I don't believe t...

Look again, Joey: the replay, filmed from behind the goal, shows our defender getting a touch to the ball. A brilliant tackle, and, as the ref rightly called it, no penalty. I thought it was a penalty, but how did Rodaway get away with only a “telling off “ for taking their player out. Nowadays you...

Won 1 nil, with the game coming the week after we had got beat in the cup at home by Wimbledon.

Before my time, amazing how football fortunes can change in a week, we seemed to ride our luck in the QPR game when I am guessing we had none v Wimbledon.

Bit unsportsmanlike from us we played on with one of their players down in the area and we scored

Hendrick is trending on Twitter and it’s not positive

The consensus is that it is kids that are suffering and what is the best way the get fed. I still don’t believe giving extra money is the issue as parents who are not feeding them now will not necessarily do with another £20 per kid. I think it is time we took a radical approach and extended the Lib...

And in the 5 week average period where she would would be waiting to receive Universal Credit? Are we assuming those new to claims? If so these are the ones I really feel sorry for, I know that they can get an advance but unsure of circumstances around that. I made the assumption that she was alrea...

TVC15 I am in agreement with feeding the children and that is why I supported the LIB Dem initiative of free school meals for all KS1 children which incidentally the Tories under May were wanting to cut until the got the backlash. The main issue is to get these children out of poverty altogether so ...

Did someone remove your access to google? Thanks for the advice, I just googled a notional Benefit claim for a single mother with 3 children and she would get £399.67 a week made up of £336.67 Universal Credit, £15.05 Council Tax support and £48.95 child benefits. Assuming Rent of say £125 per week...

Dy1geo

Before I make a comment, I would like to know what a family or single mother entitled to free meals receives in income per week. That is including any rent and council tax relief etc then I will decide if it is parental responsibility or the benefits system. If you just give more income will that re...

Don’t want to dredge up old posts, but back at the start of this pandemic I made the point that we would let those at the end of their contracts go and that they might not get replaced. ClaretTony replied that as they were first team squad players that they would, but we are now seeing we are in a n...

Man Utd and Liverpool do not have the best interest of the pyramid in their hearts, it’s all about money and by giving the EFL £250 as a sweetener they will earn even more in the long run. There is a statement that “Money Corrupts“ and it is none more true than in football. Even my club is a little ...

Why didn’t they explore charging a low price say £3-£5 first and gauge the take up, I know a few who have said they are now just going to try and get an illegal stream. If it was priced low enough people wouldn’t be bothered to search the internet and just pay for the official stream

You can go to the pub and watch, no doubt many pubs will be paying £15 to air, just make sure you go inside in groups of 5 Oh and out by 10

Pubs around here will be shut soon like they are in Scotland

Ridiculous that people who ask for a refund may be excluded from a ballot. But people have to get in the real world regarding our finances, you can’t moan about not signing players and then moan about possible ST increases. The wage bill has to be paid and TV revenue may reduce this on top of lack o...

Will not be paying this, but people have to realise that to pay players £40k a week plus the money has to come from somewhere

Ings has definitely improved since leaving us

It seems to me that any buys were to be funded by the sale of Tarks. I don’t think he is the type of player to throw “his toys out of the pram” so in my opinion we will have enough to stay up this year if players continue playing to their ability. The first 15 minutes of the second half at Newcastle...

No one knows what goes on behind closed doors. It might be the case that Garlick has upped Dyche’s bonus for staying in the league based on what we have saved in wages of the players he has off loaded. He might have said to Dyche I will take the flak, you can have a moan in public then if we go down...

To me St Maximin is a bit of a throwback to the footballing entertainers of my childhood. He is an opposition player you end up watching just to see what he will do next. Unlike Dwight, he doesn’t do any tracking back, Bardsley went past him and he never made any effort to win the ball. Bruce must s...

The stand out performance for me was the post lockdown game v Palace when he played inside and was allowed to drift around.

Sad to hear this but inevitable once cases started rising and wider restrictions in place.

As for this season I have written it off and quite frankly i am happy for my ST to roll over until next season and no DD payments from April onwards.
