Today’s Football 2022/23 Season

[WA Toffee]

It’s my hate in the game.

If a player goes down injured then the clock stops and/or the injured player can’t come back on the field for 5 minutes! What’s the point in the them leaving the field to be waved back on after 2 seconds after the game restarts ?

95% of players receiving treatment on the field don’t need it. Winds me up

And the laws of the game are clear that a player MUST be cautioned for feigning injury.

Any player that "needs" the physio, but is ready to come back on straight away is clearly feigning injury.

It's up to the refs to enforce the current rules, rather than look to change them, just because too many players are allowed to cheat.

Yes, but sadly its been allowed to creep into the game with no consequences.
The game is a joke in its current state with these fannies rolling about like they've been kneecapped with a shot gun.

Punish them or the team by not allowing them back on the pitch for certain amount of time, you will soon see less long delays for blag injuries.

Richarlison is the worst (probably 2-3 times per game the physio came on) even for us yet he very very rarely went off injured.

I think the amount of time the game is stopped to treat an injury should be the minimum amount of time you have to stand on the sideline before you are allowed back on.

Or stop the clock and not on the referees watch on the board in the ground so everyone can see, then you can roll around for 20 mins if ye want or get the 90th minute blag cramp.

Why do players only get cramp during cup games and if your winning? Never see it in the league or if the teams losing.

I'm a big fan of Howe and always have been. It's just a shame he manages the horse punchers now.

I doubted he would replicate his success outside of Bournemouth.
Wiff of the curblishly was my criticism when linked to us.
Proving me wrong

Would love Bournemouth to do West Ham tonight

Carrick has been appointed 'head coach' at Middlesbrough, the old Robson pathway.

I feel that the fear of him being another Martinez stopped us from actually showing real interest in him. He's proved he can setup a team defensively when given the right resources. People really do forget the job he did at Bournemouth, it just got to the point were it was hard to attract quality players, at the end of the day who wants to play in front of 10k prawn sandwich eaters?

We're going to drop a place regardless of this result

 

[Bohemian Toffee]

Matter of time for West Ham, here.

 

[ToffeeTim]

How was that not a hand ball

I'm baffled

 

[Billy Dean]

how has that goal stood?

 

[Del-boy]

Clearly hand ball that. His hand moves towards the goal as it hits the ball.

 

[GETEM]

That was like a Volleyball lay-up
