  1. Dallas had the best defence of any team I have seen play the Jets this season, so for the Packers to score 48 on them away in the playoffs is just incredible.

    Standard Cowboys playoffs bottle job.

    “Get out” shouted at every bleeding corner we defend, too.

    Bet the coaching staff never thought of that, so don’t bother marking your designated man or closing down space, just run out like Forrest Gump & we’ll be contenders for Europe in no time..

    Absolute plankton.

     

    To be fair, years of playing as a defender in Sunday League football has led me to involuntarily shout "OUT!" every time a ball is cleared from a corner. Can't help it, just happens!

    Anyone see the first episode in the new series of The Lazarus Project? 

    During the first segment there's a scene filmed at Als Tikka Grill 

    There's loads of scenes in both seasons filmed in and around Bristol. They had one bit that was supposed to be in Poland, but was clearly outside the Old Vic and on to Queen Square!

    It's called Radius , a separate room seated round a bar for between 8/10 people, we went as a couple and it's very sociable 

    went a few weeks ago, and as far as value for money (don't get me wrong it's still not the cheapest) against other tasting menus this was right up there 

    I said further up my only complaint was there was too much food, but the whole concept, service and food was top draw

    As a miserable git, that bit put me off!

    Hundreds of seats available in the central blocks of the South Stand. I thought these were all season ticket holders?

    It's a mystery why this stand is half empty for league games even though it's 'sold out' and confirms what I've always thought that it's all a load of bollocks!

    I'd say it just shows that lots of season ticket holders in the SS have decided to take advantage of the cheap tickets, and upgrade to another part of the stadium for this match.

    Any reason why he wasnt? 

    This has been discussed plenty but getting forward isn't really Tanners game. He's not a Kyle Walker. He's a defender. 

    From what ive seen he tends to slot in at rcb whilst Pring is the one to get forward. 

    If Tanner is told to not make forward runs, then I'm not sure we can criticise him for that? 

    With RM soon to be back it could be that Pring is instructed to tuck in at lcb as RM gets forward. Or they alternate. It gives good options. 

    Well yes, as I said, I'm a fan of his, and not a criticism as such, but the fact is that he doesn't make forward runs (whether instructed to or not), which is something that I love to see from a full back, hence why I'm excited to see McCrorie play.

    Does anyone think that this hypothetical game at Anfield would really attract 61k?

    Rovers fans can fantasise about the potential income but I suggest there would be some empty seats.

     

    Yes. Liverpool will always sell out.

    Fixed it myself.

    If you go on your Personal Details there is a section for Relationships. If your daughter is down as “Friends and Family” then you can’t get access to buy her tickets. I had to delete my kids relationships, then readd them as “Customer to Customer” - that then meant their seats were available to purchase.

    See above

    Ah great thanks, I had to log in to my son's account to purchase his ticket separately, which isn't an overly efficient way of doing things, so I'll try that next time!

    Get this post to Jon Lansdown. It illustrates in two paragraphs why the cheap under 12 Season Ticket system is flawed. People are openly abusing the good intentions of the club and it illustrates why the South Stand has waves of empty seats each match.

    Cheap season tickets for under 12s is one of the best decisions the Lansdowns have made. These kids are the future of the club, and one of the main reasons our support is growing year on year despite abject on field perfmances. It's either that or we become like the 15ers where the average age of supporter is growing every year.

    If we were selling out every week and people couldn't get tickets because of unused season tickets then maybe you'd have a point.

    I'm willing to bet that the main reason that there's so many empty seats in the South Stand each week is because people buy the cheapest season ticket available, and then thanks to our horseshoe concourse, go and sit in the more expensive seats. Rather then there being some mythical thousands of under 12 tickets that are never used.

    It may not feel much consolation but the Pats are looking like they will undergo a metamorphosis. Once Brady left, it was only going to be a matter of time before Belichick was put under the squeeze. Is the dynasty about to crumble? Will the Jets revive with the AFC East now unclamped?

    Unfortunately for the Jets, the Pats decline has corresponded with the Dolphins and Bills becoming two of the best teams on the league (oh yeah, and we're increasingly incompetent). I'd love to think that a fit Rodgers next year, coupled with our 2022 rookie class, will result in a successful season next year, but I thought something similar at the start of this year...

    I'm resigned to the fact that I will never see the Jets win anything :crying:

    Prior answers are right but as with anything VAR wise there needs to be more common sense.

    Tommy wasn’t just offside yesterday - he might as well have been on the next pitch down at Greville Smythe. There is literally no benefit in letting play go on there as either he scores and it’s disallowed or he misses and there is a chance of something contentious when the game should be stopped already. No issue in holding the flag on marginal calls, or even say 60/40 that they’re offside but that was 99% certain from the time Bell played the ball to everyone in the ground and it was a nonsense.

    Yeah exactly this. The whole point of not flagging is so that for close calls, they can be checked if it results in a goal. Tommy, however, might as well have been in the next county, it was that obvious.
