It's the incompetent people using it, as opposed to the actual tool itself. Maybe they need to pause it for a season and wait until AI can have more control. Agreed but referees and assistants will always know subconsciously that VAR is there in the background and will temper their decisions as a c...

RMutt

The whole VAR thing needs to be reassessed. If linesmen and referees are now changing their decision making because of VAR then the tail is wagging the dog.
I don’t know a single football supporter who is in favour of it.

It isn't captured by the camera now, there's a sensor in the ball that measures 500 times a second

The Premier League’s introduction to the new technology says there is not a chip in the ball?

I'm just patriotic. Get fed up of people slagging of our National Anthem and the Royals as well. It's all part of our countries heritage. If only our royal family was as patriotic as you.

Definitely won't even be in a relegation battle:

Anything could happen:

You forgot Everton in that middle group, they’re not allowed to go down

I used to really enjoy using Twitter / X for #twitterclarets, but I came off it last year for the reasons mentioned above.

I don’t understand why you are so bothered, surely in this time you could of provided some evidence to show Alan Pace is benefitting personally.

You don’t have to agree with me its ok.

Well unless you think he buys his ticket for the Bob Lord stand, that’s at least one way he’s benefiting.

Bearing in mind it's Italy, It would have been a bigger 'upset' had the rider who was expected to win, actually won.

Yes, my third cousin removed Don R Muttiolli had a big bet on that race.

If you're looking at 2,000 penalties taken by men wearing red, then these variables will average out. We'll have to agree to differ on the validity of data from penalties taken under match conditions v. penalties taken under sterile experimental conditions. Have you found the link to the trial? Whi...

RMutt

You eliminate the variables best by using vast amounts of data. At a rough estimate, about 600-800 penalties have been missed in English football over the past 10 years. They're all on TV. It would be trivial (but time consuming) for an experimenter to watch every penalty and work out the figures. ...

RMutt

Why would you need an experiment for that? Vast amounts of real world data are available. Do the real world data give players in red a better success rate than any other colour? I would imagine real world data has all sorts of variables that need to be eliminated in order to just get to the specifi...

RMutt

Any examples of that happening during a football match? I’ve seen an experiment where penalty takers wore different colours. Takers wearing red came out on top. I can’t remember whether it was the ‘keeper being affected or the takers feeling more confident wearing that particular colour. The psycho...

If those are operation scars and are related to the reason he hasn’t played then showing them to all and sundry doesn’t really fit with the ‘he wants privacy’ theory I wouldn’t have thought?

We’ve warned people about this more than once as they are parking.

Suggest the club gives him some guidance on social awareness and the use of social media or threads like this happen. Didn't JJ Watt give the players a talk about what the club meant to the fans.

I suspect that whatever teams walks out, if they are playing with the understanding that the manager and club are not really that interested in a win then they will play accordingly. It’s no different from the Dyche years. It’s obvious from team selection to the lack of intensity of those on the pit...
