Thing is with cricket les, they have umpires call which is non negotiable and quite right too. In football they will say to a ref, ” in retrospect go back and have a look at this for a penalty “, different interpretation of how the technology works in football compared to cricket. The cricket version of how it’s interpreted and used is far superior to football because the initial interpretation of umpires call isn’t questioned.

The Premiership is stuffed with clubs as pretentious and pampered to hell, VAR is the result of moaning and groaning about poor refereeing decisions over many years and in particular some of the bigger powerful clubs not being satisfied with ” their lot ” all the time. VAR was going to be the bees knees but it’s turned out to be total crap, goal line technology withstanding. If they had come to a common sense approach about the interpretation of offside when VAR was first launched, none of this would be happening, it’s entirely of their own stupid making.

Seems like the new manager doesn’t rate O’Malley which is a bit unfortunate.

There’s a player there but he’s had a poor season. Probably 3rd choice left back at the minute.

Thing is Cliff, is he a left back, seriously? He’s never shown any real defensive quality IMO, going forward, putting in a decent cross, yeah he shows promise but he’s never good enough defensively surely?

I think it’s a wait and see TBH, players develop at different ages and he’s still only a kid, he may come good eventually.

Once again it’s not the technology at fault but the interpretation of the law by different officials on the day monitoring it and yesterday an on field referee not paying attention to what he was actually seeing. For something that was designed to make the game fairer and decision making easier it’s just turned into a complete bag of bollocks.

Well it seems pretty obvious he’s come in to be the new number one keeper, for all sorts of reasons.

That’s called the law of averages les and it applies to a lot of things not just loaned footballers.

He actually wins headers too les, again not something Nuttall did on a regular basis.

[Iron-awe]

Agreed les although when he put his laces through a ball it certainly shifted as I recall.

[Iron-awe]

Let’s hope so.

[Iron-awe]

Pity Hallam hasn’t gone for good, it’s a shame for the lad but enough is enough, he will never be fit enough on a regular basis to be any sort of asset to us as a player.

[Iron-awe]

Think Gallimore might end up at the Cods, his Dad played for them and playing for Cleethorpes will be easier for them to keep tabs on him. He only came here as a kid because our set up for youngsters was a lot better then Grimsby back then, not sure if that’s the case now.

I think even JI would find it hard to disagree about the state of the Republican Party right now.

The fact that a lot of the real big boys wanted out and go to a European Super League not so long ago should remind us all again what their real agenda is and it’s nowt to do with maintaining anything like the structure we have in this country.

Ferrite, Just Iron

[Iron-awe]

All good points being made Ferrite and I get your drift but the underlying problem for me is this is what you get when you sell out, football sold out back in the nineties and now the game is facing the unpleasant truths that money and craving success bring because of it. I’ve honestly no time for any of them despite some of the football being unbelievable at times. I guess it’s what you get for wanting unbelievable football based on the unbelievable expectations that every club behaves and respect each other, which they clearly don’t. The Premiership seems so unreal to me at times and is a million miles away from the rest of our football structure which is so well loved and cherished by football fans in this country.

I’m going to play ironmaster1 at his own game, I believe his post regarding players being signed by the Chairman and the manager looks to have no say in it, to be pure conjecture based on zero evidence. Happy to be proved wrong.

Thing is when football sold it’s soul for money back in 1992/93 it was only ever going to go one way. The so called fair play rules would never have seen the light of day if certain ” big clubs ” hadn’t got so upset because they were not ruling the roost trophy and title wise as they had been in the first few years of the Premiership. Once Abramovich and then the Sheikh moved in and were allowed to do so, the old guard started squealing unfair. They sold out then got cranky when they could not keep winning most things every season, hence the fair play rules. It’s a load of bollocks, they got what they deserved whilst the rest of the football structure was left to rot.

Anybody studying American politics, particularly over the last seven or eight years, should have the nous to realise the Republican Party are in a real mess and are more interested in tearing each other apart then doing what is best for their country. You even had MTG standing up and calling Biden a liar in his speech last night when he stated Senator Rick Scott had proposed a change in social reform that would have made millions of Americans much worse off in their living standards and medical care. It’s not even a topic a lot of moderate Republicans would argue with Biden about but the extreme right keep pushing their poison to the American people and some of the American people appear very gullible to right wing propaganda in the extreme. Sad to see such a powerful country struggling with basic principles of integrity and reason in their politics.

I think how you describe Man City can be applied to all the big clubs in the Premier League TBH Ferrite, it’s all about money and I don’t see Chelsea or Man U or Liverpool or Arsenal and now even Newcastle being any different.
