It’s looking like Kompany will be filed along side the likes of Bobby Moore, Bobby Charlton etc. great players who never made the transition to managers.

All it shows me is that it's easier to score in the Championship than in the PL

Unless you’re playing Burnley or Sheffield United.

The Group instead of squad.

There was contact, he had a right to go down.

Of course it’s not always easy but I have found that even though I still love my club my interest in ‘football’ has wained, due to the money involved and the PL in particular, which is only now ever about money and ‘the brand’. I’m at ease with the whole thing. Of course if I could change things I ...

Wasn’t it Stan who told 3 players after an inept performance that they’d never play again?

He’d be shipping the whole squad out.

And Brighton , Brentford,Fulham didn’t so what’s your point ? Plus a team who 10 years ago were non-league, finished 21 points behind us last year, spent a total of £23m look more likely to stay up. We dismantled a winning team, spent £100m and we are where we are now. All but mathematically relega...

He was dreadful in the A-League. How he ever got into the PL I still don’t understand. It’s like promoting someone directly from the Northern Prem.

I found it funny this week when the Ratcliffe/Man U deal was given the go ahead. Everton fans were first on the scene wanting to know how that was done so quickly, when theirs is still ongoing. Stating more evidence of a corrupt FA and just against Everton. Also with their points deduction. Why so q...

My.. “hand has been forced” into making a statement. Hope that wasn’t because of a journalist threatening to go public if he didn’t.

Hope he fully recovers.

Trafford hasn’t made the step from league one, but he’s not missed a league minute.

With Benson, what’s to lose??

Shearer is spot on
Ramsey was not fouled
All 3 Liverpool goals were legitimate

I’m beginning to think you have shares in VAR.

If Liverpool hadn’t scored. I’m sure they would’ve brought it back for a foul on Mac Allister.

88 minutes, the scores are level, cue

Yep. Working slow here in Melbourne.

Back of a fag packet numbers. They’ve made 57 correct interventions in 230 games. If the ref makes a decision every minute, some including play-on. We have 20,700 decisions. This means the game is going to hell in a hand cart for the sake of 0.00005% (I made that number up) decisions.

We need Antony Taylor to referee. Read a stat today, don’t know if true. But during Klopps tenure at Anfield. Liverpool have lost 86 games, of which Taylor refereed 40 of them.

That first half was unacceptable, however people try and dress it up.

In what was a very winnable, must win game.

“Maximum effort is the minimum requirement”

“100+ points and a league title”. Then we rip up the plan that got us that, and start from scratch. Or even further behind the eight ball than that. Yes it’s frustrating waiting for something, just something in this “project” to click. A second home win would be a nice start. We’ve only beaten the o...

I may be misunderstanding, but isn't this 'fair' money - money earned from genuinely being run as a business rather than owner funding? I think the problem is, they have run it as a business. But most of the funding has still come from the owner/funders. Plus the money coming in has been highly inf...

I presume that's a copy - it comes up quite a lot on eBay. It may be WBA's first programme but its certainly not the first featuring Burnley.

What year was our first footy programme....anybody know?

This programme for the first game of the 1905 season is quoted as being the first ever matchday programme. Not sure if that’s true. Or just WBA first programme.

Or Trafford moved 7/8 yards in to Adebayo? He was moving in the direction of goal anticipating a cross, Trafford comes in to the attackers space Have you actually watched it? “He was moving in the direction of goal anticipating a cross” No he wasn’t. He had his back to the cross, never looked at th...

The thing is he doesn't have to, it's a tactical block he doesn't have to move out of the way it's his space as much as it is Trafford's.

But he makes a deliberate move into that space with one intention only. Tho block Trafford from getting to the ball. No other reason.

RammyClaret61

He went down easily because he'd misjudged the flight of the ball, it was so obvious he was no where near it. If he made a genuine attempt to get the ball and the player fouled him VAR would have stepped in. Trafford had not misjudged the flight of the ball. His eyes were on it the whole way. He ha...

Also mentioned on Ref Watch was the opinion of Shay Given ( goalkeeper) who thought it was keeper error and not a free kick

Just for balance of course

Also mentioned by Danny Murphy, if that had happened to Shay Given, he’d be the first demanding a foul.

But the on field referee hasn't seen all angles.

Correct, we go with the refs best guess, from one angle. Even If that one angle suggests it might not be a foul, but 4 other angles suggest it is a foul, therefore an error. But no, we go with our mate.
