Today's Football - 2023/2024 Season

[Tommy Chong]

I don't understand handball

Happy for the goal to be given, but seen others disallowed for similar things

Mate, I don't even think they know themselves... It looks like they're just flipping a coin at this point.

 

[Billy Dean]

Have they gone to extra time or something?

 

[Alan Whittle]

No complaints with that (apart from Ayew’s goal cost me a Romero clean sheet in Fantasy League.)
Great keeper & defence, workmanlike DM’s. No fowards.
No Zaha, Olise or Eze from last season. Need the last two back asap but probably out until new year.
Spurs very decent now.

It's become ridiculous this season!

Does anyone have a link to an article explaining the new stoppage time rules and why it's become so lengthy?

 

[Cool_Blue]

had we got Ange to come here, wonder if he would have got anything out of our bunch of misfits?

 

[Yid4life]

We will never get another VAR decision as they try and 'level up' the Liverpool game. Ridiculous

You didn’t get that one because it wasn’t hand ball.

Buggered if I understand the handball rule these days but it did look to change direction slightly, looked like it touched his arm to me.

His arm/hand wasn’t in an unnatural position. He chested it down and it didn’t seem to me to change direction. You be giving twenty hand balls a game if you have that.

As I say, I don't understand the rules atm but they only check with VAR if it leads to a goal don't they?

The ball definitely looked to be slightly cushioned at the point contact with his arm would have happened.

Don’t bring them on then? Thrown right under the bus there by Woy

One of the ones in question he brought on it turns out they spent 25 mill on in the summer and today is A) the first time I'd heard of that transfer and B) the first time I'd ever even heard of that player. No wonder Woys annoyed of he's stunk the joint out his entire budget was on him and a second choice keeper

I feel like managers should just be a little more humble in defeat and not be so quick to blame notoriously inconsistent youngsters.

“the subs didn’t work out tonight, that’s on me, we’ll work on it through the week” etc. etc. You’re showing disappointment with the performances of the young lads whilst not completely leaving them to bleed out down a back alley.

Yeah it's not a brilliant quote like don't get me wrong and he brought them on at 2-0 down to the league leaders I'm really not sure just how much of a reaction he was expecting.

with that said 2 of them are 21 so It's not like they're children either. Bit like Simms last year for us

I'm definitely concerned for Palace with Eze and Olise not being fit as they are top players and any side would badly miss them, never mind a mid-table side where they are the best two players. Selfishly hope you can stay down there with us, otherwise if we can push up hope you can too.
