  1. Because the law is always fair and should never be questioned. Right...
  2. Defender don't tend to win awards particularly often, so imagine he'd be overlooked in favour of Summerville, Dewsbury-Hall or Szmodics - but in the games that I've seen, I would say the player who has the biggest impact on a team is Leif Davis - so I would give him POTS. Young player can be Summerville. Manager is easy - McKenna - although for absolutely no reason at all I don't like him and don't wish Ipswich well. What they've done has been amazing, but for some reason I can't get on board with them and hope they fail.
  3. None of 'em! Would be the answer to suck in some likes. But yes, Dickie, really.
  4. You must be a fun fella

    In a word... Nonsense. Go against the grain... Yes it will, not just on here but against the grain of just about anyone in football. A good player now with even better potential who we got for a bargain price. Whether we use him correctly is another matter.
  6. Good summary, and actually makes a lot of sense.
  7. Yeah, realistically the result here could be anything.
  8. You're both using logic and rational reasoning - something which referees are discouraged from using. We'll never know - but I'm pretty confident 80% of the time (as there's never total consistency) - the referee would have just looked at a few replays and that still image and sent him off. I don't disagree with either of you - but I just think a referee would.
  9. VAR look at the incident slowed down, we've all seen it, they look at slo-mo and still images (they shouldn't, but they do) If you shows the referee on the field this image below, on a screen at the side of the pitch (which they would) then it's an instant red: FWIW I think it meets several of your criteria... It is high (half way up the leg), it is studs up, evidence is in the picture. How can he be in control when he's full off the ground? So not in control either. Glad it isn't a red, but in today's rules, it is.
  10. Most of the time that would be a red card with VAR - they're not entirely consistent, but there have been 4/5 pretty identical tackles this season, and all but one (the Gusto one this weekend) have been reds.
  11. Yeah - fair enough, the first point. The history and the 'name' of quite a few clubs in this league is bound to be a bigger draw than little old Bristol City. That's where we have to be better at 'selling the dream' I guess. Not sure this particular case is evidence we're not working hard enough though. We signed Matty James and Andy King that summer (who's connections we know obviously, so can see why), and had Scott coming through who's progress we probably didn't want to block also. Just think the club passed on him at the time probably, not that I know as much as some on here seem to suggest they do. Was it a mistake? Who knows, butterfly effect... if we sign him everything's different.
  12. Genuinely interested to know what makes you believe it is 'clear we have to work harder than other clubs at the level to secure players'? Perhaps you could elaborate a little?
  13. I for one am really surprised, and in many ways, outraged, that our club didn't listen to random people on the internet and base their scouting network on that.
  14. Video quality has improved a lot over the years...
  15. I assume you mean, apart from all those games in the past, when he didn't?
  16. Anyone wondering why Neil left Sunderland... Money. No further investigation needed.
  17. Enjoy the recommendation of Dicken Cider though. A classic. Could be some goals - they seem to enjoy an exciting game or two.
  18. The Derby one is absolutely horrendous, and Reggina 2012 just bizarre... All the others have way more character than most kits these days, quite like all of them. The is the worst, worst 50 kits list, of all time!
  19. Yeah - my point was basically exactly that. Compare Leicester to the only other teams who are in a similar boat this season... I.e. Relegated last season with years of bunse left to come in. They're doing alright in that three team mini league.
  20. Relative to two other teams - Leeds and Southampton - they're doing pretty well. Compared to the rest - they're doing about as well as expected. Marginally better maybe. Daka £23m, Iheanacho £25m, Pereira £22m, Ndidi £17m. Even the players some might think are their 'cheaper' players like James Justin for example who scored last night. He probably cost way more than anyone we've got.
  21. Doesn't O'dowda normally get in? He injured?
  22. He's a good manager until the middle/end of a season when he teams blow up...
  23. I was on about actually moving the kick off of the match, rather than whether it could be streamed or not. As a point on that though - don't games moved from 3pm, for non-TV reasons, still 'count' as 3pm games, so can't be shown. I've always thought that was the case.
