Today’s Football 25/26 Season

[Rita_Poon]

Wait till FH added time, and see if they address it. Added time first and second half are not calculated the same. It's been a bugbear for a bit.

+2

it's indefensible.

 

[Rita_Poon]

you've got the var check, the decision, the actual penalty fail, and then all the other mither through the rest of the half.

+6 I could understand.

 

[summerisle]

Ooh, that's a bad miss.

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

United trying to sign some kid from Belgium instead for some reason.

Hope he’s crap for the LOLs.

 

[Wat Tyler]

This keeper is absolutely terrible on corners

 

[bebo86]

I hope utd don't get a new keeper

Thought it was a penalty myself. At least in terms of the actual foul in question (not sure if the other antics should have been called first). You can’t judo throw someone

The four minutes it took was mad though. Referees continue to embarrass themselves weekly in this league

that low cross from Grealish to Nidaye was the kind of stuff DCL was pouncing on when he was scoring for us.

That was like 8 years ago

 

[Rook]

In that goal though, would he have held it up as well as Barry?

Also, “when he was scoring” is doing a fair bit of work there!

maybe, I'm not too arsed w/ him leaving w/ those wage demands (mostly bc injury history). However I think he's a better player w/ a wide player who can whip a cross in from the flanks and I think we have that now.

Yeah I take your point. Barry and Beto look like similar players, despite both being “number 9” stature so I can see some frustration down the line if nobody is in the middle to head/poke home balls in from the byline.

Watching some of the goalkeeping in these games, and it's just absolutely baffling some of the criticism that Jordan still gets. He's not quite elite or world class level, but he's still really good

Can't stress enough the importance of a good reliable goalkeeper at this level

He is world class for me. Wouldn't want anyone else in goal for us and I mean that. Maybe big nev but he doesn't play anymore

 

[JohnRoss23]

I don’t know, part of me thinks it is and isn’t a penalty. I think the bigger issue is whether or not they’ll be consistent in calling that. We will see much worse where they won’t give a penalty and even less that will get a penalty.

Maybe he just had a Jelavic patch of his career dunno. Its hard to rate attackers who were stifeled by years of Dyche-ball.

That is the real issue. They haven’t been consistent with handballs so far. They never are.

Most fans don’t care where refs draw the line; they care that refs draw it in different places for different teams.
