Overall I actually don’t have that big a problem with the current state of the football industry. However…two things…..I see tv money as a positive but the distribution of it is completely unfair to clubs lower down the leagues. The PL clubs should allow their tv income to trickle down to L1 and 2 far more generously. 

Plus…..VaR……whilst it’s intention is to remove officials errors from the game it’s got to the point where it takes soooooo bloody long to reach a decision and they still don’t get it right every time. Take Coventry’s disallowed ‘goal’ in the 120min of extra time - even with the VaR lines it was impossible to tell. What ever happened to benefit of the doubt?’

If/when City reach the PL we’ll have to put up with every goal being analysed and that in itself stifles the joy and excitement of seeing your team scoring a goal.

They can draw all the lines they want, but if they are not drawn at the PRECISE moment the ball is kicked it is pointless. When you are talking millimeters, as in Coventrys case, if they are a nanosecond out on ball strike it would make all the difference. I have watched footage of that "goal" from the opposite side of the stadium from the cameras, and have to say it was 100% onside.

Norwich stream saying City one of the best sides to play at Carrow Road this season.

Old quiz question, his name reversed used to be a goalkeeper for Man Utd & Scotland 

There are another two examples of this where a footballers name reversed gives you the name of another footballer, anyone know them ?

Semej Nothgiel played for Man U and Scotland?

The side drawn at home should always have the advantage . if a tie goes to a replay, and then drawn again, the side drawn away currently  get an additional 30 mins and then pens at their stadium giving them an obvious advantage to go through, so yes, I think the change is correct.

Otherwise he will see you outside, in the park on the grass.

This is all well and good, but what if he has had a look, and decided that none are Championship standard, and maybe never will be? Just a thought. Maybe Scott, Semenyo, Conway and Bell were the last  of that generation.

The answer to these things is?

Russel Osman.

He could have headed it in the park. 

He would have only been hissed at for that.

You had to be there to have appreciated that moment.

Avon & Somerset Police have sent out a search party ….

 

to find all the games that Rovers have lost.

As the Rovers’ goal famine worsens, the Disasters Emergency Committee has launched a special appeal.

There is no financial target. The goal is simply to get Rovers a goal.

Loving their pain.

 

 

Cant we lend them some of ours. ? we have more than we need.

I remember when Nigel Pearson finally unburdened us from David Bentley there was a lot of doubt over this lad’s capabilities, I think over the season it would be fair to say Goalkeeper is the last position we need to be looking at when it comes to transfer priorities! Another great performance 

your memories not that good then. It's Daniel Bentley not Dave.

Was Joe Jordan, first time around.

And to think there were many on here that said he wasn’t good enough and compared him to a “headless chicken” !!!

Well, at the time he wasn't', and he was.

Ghostie. You know as well as I do that the OP is one of the bot army. Its a valid question as to James or Williams to which the answer is the former any day of the week but the caching of the question is tiresome.

And several ITK people have indicated James isn’t being renewed. Unless that is for personal reasons on his behalf, the broader question is why someone, who as proved yesterday is integral to our team, is being jettisoned. Because it is the literal definition of a no brainer to keep him on.

And, back to the OP, that is “Liams Dilemma”

Actually, no it's not. OP was grammatically correct.

Any chance we could stop talking about "tourists"?  Some of us live hundreds of miles away from AG, don't attend many home games because of that and therefore don't have a season ticket (and often end up attending more away than home matches).  Others may have caring responsibilities, other regular commitments, or simply not able to afford a season ticket.  I know we're second class fans, and I genuflect every morning, but we're not tourists.  

You do what every morning? Never heard it called that before, but OK.

Has anyone seen that video online titled 0% possession 1-0 up.

Its a side who, straight from kick off play the ball across the back continuously, until a hard backpass to the keeper goes in without the other side touching the ball. Manning ball at its finest.

We would have to play the Johnson cup against ourselves. Probably still lose though.

At best he was unprofessional. His comments didn't upset me as such, but him using his position to make them did. Shame on WBA, they need to employ more professional people as it reflects on them as a club.

At one point one of them burst out laughing amd said that the Dingles (Wolves) had been beaten in the last minute. Can you imagine Owers saying similar about Rovers.?
