Re: **** VAR

Another thing is to get rid of slow motion analysis. Slow motion creates a wierd alternative view to reality. Also, what i dont get is when a ref makes an unbiased, sincere onfield call and then the VAR team ask him to review it and he does so 8 times on the monitor. Because he then doesn't immediat...

Re: **** VAR

Technology has improved sports such as Tennis, Rugby and Cricket. It’s ruined Football. Couldn't agree more. But the situation with football and VAR is that nature of the game as it is doesn't allow VAR to compliment it. Take offside for example. There's a definition that presumably says (paraphras...

A British players Premier league.

A bit of a pointless topic so apologies in advance...but the thought came to me today...what if we had domestic rules that stipulated that every club could only have 1 overseas player and the rest had to be a British Isles national (ie.

Re: THE SUPER CLARETS vs Man U - Match Thread

Absolutely mullered. Pretty scary stuff. United should be out of sight. Kind of dreading the 2nd half cos if the same pattern continues this could easily end up being a thrashing.

But then again, SP might make a couple of astute changes and it may no longer be so one sided !😊
