Re: Ref watch on Sky

I totally agree with the comments above about "clear and obvious". Just scrap it. If VAR thinks the on-field decision is wrong just overrule it.
Also whilst they are at it scrap the referee going to the monitor.

Re: Panama/Costa Rica

Just to add to how serious Costa Rica is about wildlife and conservation, they are the first country to ban all photographs of people and wildlife together on the same photo. Even a selfie with wildlife in the background is an offence. The guides take it all very seriously as well.

Re: January 2022 Burnley Transfer Window Rumours - Links - Discussion

If we’re looking for a LEFT side centre back to cover Mee then it might be advisable to target left footed players. Personally I think we have a ready made player to cover for Ben. Charlie Taylor could easily make the same move that Ben did a few years ago and could prove to be even better than Ben.
