Today’s Football 2020/21 Season

[anton66]

I laughed at the commentator yesterday saying Utd v Leeds is one of the biggest games on the football calendar? Maybe 20 years ago.

Just seen it.

There needs to be a fan led movement against VAR to put pressure on pulling it. It's harming the game.

It's not VAR that's the problem. It's the incompetent clowns at the wheel.

Hahahah

Watford sack another Manager, he won manager or the month in November too

 

[dublinbluenose]

MOTD coverage of our game was appalling.

Just talked about how bad Arsenal were.

Didn't talk about how bad Crystal Palace were too. And they were embarrassing. Too busy wanking off Liverpool.

I was amazed they didnt mention how easy Palace were able to slice them open - they could've had 3 or 4 themselves

Apparently he dropped Deeney and sacked next day

Absolute whopper of a club

It looks like he wasnt even checking VAR to see if it was a pen or not, he'd made his mind up. He was only looking at red or not. Would be an utter diabolical decision without VAR, I dont know how he can give a pen. I just can't fathom it.

The only defence for the ref is the VAR replay was shocking, the view they showed him was from miles away

Did anybody else pick up on Jenas saying that Carlo has "stumbled across" a good defensive formation for us?
I wonder how many other things Jenas thinks Carlo has stumbled across in his many seasons as a top manager having won many trophies along the way.
FFS!

Didn’t know where to put this, but when did this business of having a player lie on the floor behind the wall at a free kick start?

first time I’ve seen it from Arsenal in our game yesterday, then on MOTD saw Newcastle doing it.

Its bloody dangerous as well for 2 reasons.

1. Low drilled ball cracking the back of someone's head.
2. Easy for a defender to jump up and land on the player by accident

When I saw Arsenal do it yesterday I was thinking "we need an Everton player to get as close as possible to him and literally just trip over him as you'd surely get a pen for that".

My word... that's genius. Just stand in the wall, have the taker clip a harmless free kick in the air, run over the soft git on the ground.

You're right, it's a pen every time.

I honestly couldn't see how a ref wouldn't give a pen. Surely the ref would say "your a tit for lying on the ground"

It's a pen all day long by the rules. It's "carelessly impeding an opponent with contact" under Law 12.

We need to get Carlos email address and let him know mate. About time we won some cheap pens.
