Re: VAR 2023/24

Use it for offside, and offside alone. Bin the rest. The laws arent clear enough. :thup: In fact, they ought to adopt the semi-automated system that UEFA/FIFA use. It may or may not be more accurate than the lines, but because it reduces it all to a graphic image, there should be little or no dispu...

Re: VAR 2023/24

This is key for me. There wasn't one, because the post is in the way. It was one of many referee mistakes in the game not to give the handball (add that to blowing too early when Kudus scored and not showing a second yellow for kicking the ball away), but having made that mistake there wasn't enoug...

Genuinely good, honest people.
Can confirm based on last week. Really friendly and welcoming.

Hope they go well in the rest of their season and qualify for Europe again.

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!

Not even being funny, if the intention is always there to go out and attack the opposition yet in 90% of games in the last 4 years it hasn't happened on the pitch then Moyes should have been fired years ago for being hapless and ineffective. It's better for him that it IS his philosophical preferen...

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!

Can anyone please explain this "intent" issue? How do people know what Moyes' intent was going in to a game? For instance: against Brentford everyone thought we started fast and "had intent". Against Burnley it was the reverse. Why would that be? Why would Moyes instruct his play...

Re: The Cresswell Thread

He's probably had a very difficult few months, so a solid performance and an important goal, and a grin all over his face? Brilliant and well deserved.

Re: ✍ Welcome Kurt Zouma

It's not so much the physical issues - we think we can see them, but we don't really know the extent.
The problem now though is he is making errors in his positioning and they could be costly.

Looks like to individuals - as a PDF attachment to the email. To be printed off and/or saved into the phone as a PDF (not into your wallet...).

What does he do next? Winning the World Cup with Spain is about all that’s left, and he’s only 53, he’s won in Spain, Germany and here, only Italy left of the big leagues but would another club motivate him. Or of course he could take on the ultimate challenge of working with Sully….. As a card-car...

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!

The issue for me with Moyes is that we only seem to have one plan and when it goes wrong it goes really wrong. :eh: We played three or four different plans/set ups on Saturday alone... he is constantly making tweaks in play - it's a bit of a myth that "he only has one way to play". Damn, ...
