    I really don't want to drag this out, but he looks and sounds a lot better in the clip.

    Perhaps it was just the photo angle.

    Or, perhaps, it was just me.

    As a fairly well preserved 58yr old I'd say he looks pretty good. 🤣🤣.

    Really pleased for him and hope it goes well. Remember, for that season we were the absolute dogs bollocks in that league,  loved to see it.... sigh... seems a long time ago but here we are- decent mid to upper champ team.

    I was there and the only bright spot of the whole day was GJ tripping that *** up. Glad he got no comeback, should have got an award imo.  

    As for Bobbleheads memory, it seems selective when GJ is concerned....but never mind.. lots of us remember... and treat his pronouncements for what they're worth. Unfortunately the new ignore function doesn't allow you to hide content within a thread... mores the pity.

  7. Sammy cant stop scoring.

    We barely saw Sammy but in the few occasions I saw KP there was obviously a player there. Whether or not you can get a tune out of him and/or build a team around him is another matter. 

    Likes a tackle, good in the air... pick a pass.. beat a man...smash one in from 25yrds...... hang on a minute 🤣🤣

    I remember that from the 3 Chelsea players we signed, Thomas Kalas was their longest serving player....without hardly playing for them🤠

    This for me was handled incredibly poorly.

    1. Sacking a manager for “no fear football” only to drop from the playoffs to a relegation battle is incredibly clueless

    2. A board member saying that you’re going to recruit in order to suit that style and therefore back Rooney and then sack him shortly after is utterly bizarre.

     

    I agree with sacking him but the way it was handled was awful, interested to see who they get in next

    Take a brave board to watch them slip into a relegation battle backing a man with his track record in management so far. Shame, I like him but maybe he needs to learn his trade somewhere?

    I reckon they would have done better under Eustace, dunno by how much but keep it ticking along and confidence etc can grow.

    Maybe they wouldn't have maintained 18 pts 11 games type levels, or especially 14 from 6 home games.

    Maybe not, we'll never know if course but I reckon it's unlikely. 

    We often hear about how in the champ anyone can beat anyone else and what a tough division it is but really, apart from Ipswich on a roll after promotion, most of us could have guessed the top six as it is. 

    Not to say that's how it will end and we amongst many others may make a run but broadly speaking the bigger clubs will come out on top over the course of a season by squad size/ depth if nothing else. 

    Luton are an outlier though aren't they... and that's the magic of the play offs.. over 3 games all that goes out the window....😁

    Pub near Bury’s Gigg Lane. Battling with the Springfield Arms, Wigan for my favourite away pub, slightly more intriguing name wins the day. 

    Was originally The Old Swan and predates the nearby cemetery which gives it the other half of the name.

    Ian does make me laugh with the BS he comes out with sometimes. 

    He claimed someone told him that when the reality is he listened to a NP interview where he learned that information. 

    He then claimed he knows someone very intelligent at the HPC who told him the difference in coaching is night and day. 

    He then also claimed that someone told him that Alex Scott is on 12x his wages. A quick Google search or common sense will tell you that. 

    It reminds me of when he said he was meeting with Steve Lansdown, but conveniently forgot to mention he'd be meeting him with 100 other senior reds. 

     This is "Bristol boy"yes? Used to chat shit on here?

    Reported fee was £300k wasn’t it? Not sure what we expect for that, but presumably not expecting him/anyone for that fee to tear up the Championship? Personally think he does okay given the outlay. If we’re saying we’d prefer to have £10m strikers, think that’s a different debate. 

    Always intrigued by your forum name! Cant say ive ever heard of a pub called this before. Any idea why Swan and Cemetery?

    Quality.

    Eddo Brandes Zimbabwe batsman walks to the wicket, Glenn McGrath, “why are you so fat?”. 
    Brandes, because every time I shag your wife she gives me a biscuit..

    Greg Thomas to Viv Richards after he played & missed “it’s 6 pounds, red & round mate”.

    Viv after he hit his next ball out of the ground & into the river Tone, “hey man, you know what it looks like, now go & find it”.

    6lb cricket ball? Blimey,  he had strong wrists then....

  25. Gary O’Neil - VAR

    in Football Chat

    Here's my take. 

    I think the system is flawed in that it's attempting to take error away from refereeing.

    Unlike other sports a lot of football refereeing calls are subjective and It doesn't  matter how much VAR tries to be better or quicker or more professional it will STILL be subjective.

    With Cricket, for instance,  the tech is there to help and is very useful objectively BUT if it's very tight or if there is any doubt it remains the umpires call which he made subjectively in the moment.

    I believe this should be the case in football as well. A really good example is the 2nd Fulham penalty from the other night

    The referee is in a great position and he decides, in the moment, it's not a penalty.

    That's it. Thrat's enough for me,  we need to let the referees and assistants make their calls and,  critically,  accept it. We may agree or not but that's what the ref is for.

    Mistakes will happen with offside/pens/cards but that has to be better than the current spectacle of endless slow-mo and freeze frames trying to justify getting the ref to change his call. 

    How many of them have been brave enough to say "No" to the VAR? How many of them have had the nerve to say,  "Nope,I don't even need to see it again?"

    Not many because there is now that fear that they might have got it wrong because they've been asked to watch it again. 

    It's in danger of ruining our beautiful game.
