  1. Honestly , one day I will read what I type , just not today
  2. I saw that one , great Finnish.
  3. Not sure there is any case where you'd be confident it would work .
  4. TBF he probably couldn't see the guy that scored was offside because of the other guy that was offside blocking his view.
  5. TBF I still missed it as I was looking at something else
  6. You're safe to go to bed, won't be any more goals now I've just turned it on
  7. Typical , says content not available. I'll try tomorrow.
  8. I hadn't seen this Tweet before and I couldn't find footage showing the Lino, but if this is right VAR makes no difference. If there wasn't any, and the Lino flags it would have been offside. Doesn't excuse VAR , but just thought that I saw some on Twitter saying it should be left to Refs & Lino's , in which case it looks like it would still have been ruled out. Something else I saw which made sense, use thick lines so it can't be just a toenail .
  9. When I was looking for a new Amp & speakers, I went to (I think) Paul Roberts. They never mentioned speakers and put together what they thought I should have. This is some years ago and would have cost me £700-£800 for something that sounded no more than ok. I went into Richer Sounds with my CD player & Deck and the first thing he did was put it together with some proper interconnecting cables. I would have happily walked out without buying anything else, the improvement in sound was unreal. Also I had done some reading and had an idea what I wanted, but when I went in the guy put together an Amp I liked with some basic speakers. Sounded better than Paul Roberts already. He then added some Elate floor standing speakers. Before we played anything I questioned him as I had read these were highly thought of for Classical music. This is where I say again , go and listen. I would never have got these speakers, but after running through a few albums I was blown away. It all still sounds great to my ears. That's with my original 1980 Technics SL-D3 from 1980. I always tell anyone, quality cables first . Then whatever you want to add make sure you listen first.
  10. This is somewhere near where I am. Yes on the whole we have been good, but I tend to look at the chances we allow that are missed . Yes , no one will take every chance, but just looking at our game Vs Leicester Vardy will have few days like that. When some are going "weyhey !! " when someone misses a gilt edge chance , I'm thinking" that was poor from us, and lucky". The conversation has been had before, when we were getting in lots of last ditch tackles , clean sheets are great but tend to look beyond that. We have a sound base , and I think a stronger MF will help , but we are not there yet. My worry is that we were going to try for a Man City type game, and we can't , but it can be incredibly dull interspersed with World Class when they do it, that's something we simply can't do. I like us playing that high press , we look organised and threatening . We need to learn to play with a higher % of the ball and play at a better tempo in those games. We played some nice stuff against Norwich , but they gave us the opportunity to play. If we can find a way to have the ball and not settle into a slow pass/pass/pass (Swansea) , which inevitably ends in a slow turgid performance . I'm hopeful that Manning has learnt and gets us mixing styles , we need to be able to keep the ball to see games out, but we look better all round when pressing high. Going forward into next year , a real "10" might help . Whether Twine , which I doubt , or someone else it can (maybe) turn us into a top 10 challenger . We look like our preferred formation is back 3/5 , fine we have the players to do that , though we need a couple to fill out the squad. I'd be happy to keep Conway , tough though. We will not get full value if we sell and will not improve on him for the same money. That's the first tough call. Williams is another , I'd keep him if possible , not just down to what we want though. Is Roberts now a CB ? You have to wonder about Atkinson & Naismith so if he is ( and I think that would be a good balance) we need another LWB. I think we are short of a genuine left sided AMF. Lots of questions to answer ...... All about our budget now .
  11. On another day I could see all 3 given. I have seen 1 & 3 given recently . I have no problem with the Ref missing any of those, but VAR can see from several angles Young catches or kicks the forward.
  12. When I was starting out buying my first Amp & speakers, they told me not to worry about cost or name, if you like the sound the equipment is right for you. So I always tell anyone thinking about new stuff go and listen to it. Richer Sounds are usually good for selection and they have some good quality , cheaper end stuff .Some stores have a listening room which is a big help. When I was looking for my first upgrade many years ago, the guy suggested better quality cables , that made a difference I didn't believe. Taking my own equipment and hearing how cables and different speakers sounded was a great way to spend a day. Also saved me a load of money from what another audio shop wanted to sell me.
  13. Hard to see how you don't get one of these. Ashley Young , how poor are Everton that he starts every week ?
  14. Pen !! As the Ref has given it , they can't overturn that surely
  15. The Huddersfield Vs Birmingham game means not both can over take many teams. That game is massive as I don't see a lot of points going to those 5 who are fighting to go down. In fact , the only points that are likely to go to any of them is that game. I can see a draw at Huddersfield keeping a spawny Brum up again Rotherham - Done
  16. It's a great League , I hope it never changes.... Apart from next year with our record breaking League winning run
  17. Could it happen at last ? As it stands......
  18. All getting interesting at the bottom(s) . Just looked at the table, now I want Wednesday to win . That would really drag Brum into it. Looking at the final day fixtures, I think today and next Saturday seals someones fate. That HTFC V BCFC looks massive. At 1-1 it's just Goal difference between Weds and Brum. Then in half an hour Everton or Forest could be looking over their shoulders.
  19. Fine margins , yesterday both going Norwich's way . I do think we should have won , Sykes 1v1 he never got the ball out of his feet & didn't look comfortable and Twine should score , too close to the keeper were the obvious 2 . But as I say, fine margins different Lino
  20. For some reason the spell check has worked overtime this morning , I've caught most, but not all obviously
  21. Ignoring who it is for the moment, they need some continuity . They need to give someone the chance to get foundations in place, to start to build. `A little like Nige did with us, get the Club set and start to build with an eye on the future . They need to start thinking about 2/3 years time and begin getting a squad together and improve over a season or two. That's if the new owner isn't going to throw mi££ions at them and buy a new squad in one go .
  22. I am amazed he's not been given a run in the U21s. When you think a few of the first team who actually play, notably Kahki , have had a run out for them just to get minutes. Training is one thing, but surely seeing him in a match would be good, even if it is one the U21.
