Is every team guarenteed 23 live matches or will it depend who they're playing ie. Some teams will be on every other week like the PL?

If only we had had VAR for our two matches against Sheff utd last season. Doesn't seem like they've changed!

In the last few matches that I've seen he seems alot more proactive now outside his area with opposition players running towards him. Is this something they're working on in training?

We should have a "pointless bitching about minutiae" sub forum.

When you gone on a thread and you realise that it's just between 2 posters trying to score points off onr another!

You seem to be annoyed we potentially might be signing a young talent. You do know the club isn't finished after this season?

I wouldn't jump to the conclusion this is the last signing we might make.

OTIB rule 26, subsection 5?

Am I missing something?

The ref absolutely stitched us up tonight. I was inline with their first goal. He was about 3 yards offside. The pen was never a pen, and their 3rd was a hand ball.

Really really poor ref and linesman.

Norwich had a touch tonight. They were so vanilla to watch. Such a dull club.

The irony of this. Most of their matches are won with undeserved penalties and oppositition sending offs!

He's an embarrassment on there tonight!

Andy Davies reffing! Expect penalties and red cards for Norwich.

The decision shouldn't be based on the consequence of a tackle but judging by the "performances" that some "world class" players put on after a tackle I'm not entirely sure that referees aren't persuaded to go for the headlines!

If only the linesman had been allowed to wave offside?

Any subs warming up?

I'm amazed after all the negativity that came from those hearings etc that he is allowed anywhere near the place again

I'm expecting Headingley to come off the test ground list until the new season begins!

Forest are playing on the following Tuesday and so it would have to be Thurs or Fri.  

How about Blackpool?

Players play well in amongst certain other players. Move clubs and they either flourish or fall away. Buying all the "right" players doesn't necessarily make a successful team.

Obvious but true.

Is that a breach of the Data Protection Act? They have supplied information concerning you without your prior consent to a third party.

Does the Data Protection Act actually exist because the number of times I've received stuff from organisations that I've never contacted directly. There seems to be alot of transfer of information without our knowledge. Is it all in the micro print and the cookies that we randomly accept?

Perhaps a manager signalling to the match official that they believed their player had dived and it wasn't a penalty would work but there would have to be pigs flying over at the same time! Some players have earned a reputation for conning the referee and indeed some referees appear willing to be conned. For those of you who are or have been involved in a playing/training/managing capacity what limits are drawn over which no player should go beyond to win a game (apart from not putting another player in physical danger)?

Players used to be "awarded" free kicks and penalties, now according to the pundits with experience they "win" them.

If one our players went down like that and didn't get a penalty there would be a few on otib saying he went down too easily!

It's soft but they tend to get given.

We've missed out on alot more obvious ones.

He instigates the contact, next you will be telling us, "he felt contact and had a right to go down" He should have been carded not rewarded.

Does getting easy penalties come naturally to the Portuguese?

As there was contact VAR would have probably not over ruled it either.

With that amount of contact from the trailing leg and the dramatic dive afterwards! If it was down to as little contact as that there would be penalties all the time!

Shock horror, Manure given a soft penalty!

Spurs v Man City will be a cert for Tv
