VAR just took over 6mins to make a decision in the Wet Spam game.... we've got this to look forward to next season!!
I can GUARANTEE refs will be a thing of the past in years to come and the game will be officiated by robots upstairs with a big whistle in the stadium and on screens.... it's akin to going in to your local supermarket and having to scan your own shopping to pay for it without any human contact.
In 100yrs nobody will have a job and we'll be run by the government/state....
VAR is not something I'm looking forward to. I was getting used to celebrating when the ball hit the back of the net. The idea of waiting 5-6 minutes to be told there's some leftfield reason why the big 6 team scored and we didn't.
I'm the last post on this thread but it hasn't come out!
I'm house sitting for family in a few weeks time for a few days in Scotton, near Knaresborough and Harrogate....has anyone from oop north got any recommendations on where to go with 8 & 10yr old girls?
I know Lightwater theme park is nearby and we'll be visiting....is it any good?
I know Lightwater Valley well - it's not the theme park it used to be. More of a shopping park.
Mother Shipton's cave in Knaresborough is worth an hour.
Wetherby for the park and chips if the weather is good
York has lots of good stuff, Jorvik centre, Clifford's tower, there's a ghost train etc and York outlet for shopping - if you can't entertain the girls there you're in trouble :-)
Just watched a truly awful Manchester derby, the only highlight was noticing how many players have had their hair styled by Sideshow Bob from The Simpsons!🤣
Was just with my Leeds mate and got a question for you!?
He seems to think the Blunts v Leeds game when we won the title in 1991/2 was on TV but on a time delay?
He went to the game but I couldn't get tickets and remember having to listen to it on the radio only. Surely if it was on a time delay I'd have made sure I didn't know the score and watched on TV as if 'live'?
I seem to remember that because the Liverpool v Mancscum game was being televised later in the day that they couldn't show both matches?
I've googled, but to no avail, so can anyone remember and please tell me who's more stupid for bragging rights....
I think Blunts v Leeds was the early (lunchtime) kickoff and Liverpool v Man Utd was the afternoon slot. I definitely remember watching the moment Liverpool got the second on TV and knowing we were champs - I am not sure if the Leeds game was on TV though - I have a sneaky feeling it was a radio job. It may well have been highlights shown later to be honest.
If my memory serves me correctly, the Leeds players had showered, changed, left the ground and were all on a sofa watching the Liverpool v Man Utd game when the title was sealed - they were being filmed. Wilko famously said he was having dinner with his family and didn't even watch the scummers game.
Thanks Soopa and concur to all that and remember watching the 2nd game and they kept cutting to Chapman, Cantona McAllister and Batty (? may be wrong?) on the sofa at Chapman's house....
I think Eric missed the 2nd half as he was upstairs helping Lesley Ash (ahem) tidy the bedroom....
I'm sure our lunchtime KO wasn't televised live though if anyone can help with this?
As I recall, the whole game was televised but don't think it can have been live because they showed the Scum game (possibly highlights?) immediately after - and they accidentally briefly showed the final league table (ie, after Liverpool had won) beforehand.
Distinctly remember an embarrassed look on the face of the presenter - Elton Welsby, I think.
Just seen that Rodon and Bogle are one booking away from a suspension....unless they can go the next 10 games without a card!
Bogle will be quite seamlessly replaced by Byram but with Ampadu and Wober out, Rodon will have to be replaced by Debayo or maybe Schmidt....not ideal but I suppose we'll then know if they're up to it.
I suppose at least they will be available for our next game v Blunts and Hamer....
On the subject of our Official Website, it is fkn embarrassing....
We have players still in the up to date squad, like Harrison, still pictured.... how fkn hard is it to press delete and save!?
There are many ESTABLISHED players such as Byram, Rodon, Piroe who don't even have a photo next to their profile.... how hard is it to copy and paste a photo of them!?
Poor Kamara is still up there after being with us for a WHOLE SEASON without a photo.... even though he's playing in France now!
He'll probably get a photo next to his profile next week!!
My boys non league club website, and other clubs of the same standard, is literally better....
Jude Bellingham is fined 30k for the gesture he made....
Whenever a fine is given out by by UEFA / FIFA / FA who keeps the money?
Does it go to charity or is it just a free reign for the association to simply keep it!?
The FA says it goes back into things like grassroots football. In my 14 years of being involved in youth football with the boy we never once saw improvement to pitches, changing rooms etc etc. We got to know other teams management and parents etc and none of their teams received anything in that time!
A simple booking or sending off is something like £20-50....the club pays it to the FA and what happens to that payment?
Surely the committees WANT players to get fined (similar to speeding offences by the police.... where do those fines go!?)
Friday rant over but I would seriously like to know if anyone has any answers to my nonsense....
As much as I don't like the guy he was a quality player and someone we'd have loved for us with that bite in his play....
I did hear this morning on Talksport that he's never had his own transfer window and always had to use other managers players with no budget for himself....
I have a chance to get tickets through a neutral source in Club Wembley just near the royal box.... I won't know until near the weekend.
Mine could be freebies or a 'donation' to a mate of a mate.... how much would you be willing to pay though!?
I saw resale tickets were going for £800!!
It's wrong really that someone on the inside is doing this and the tickets should be going to fans who have been going all season.... my morals went out of the window when I got the chance though! 🙈😂😜🤔
Well it's that time of the season again as we all keep our fingers crossed for promotion to the prem and with the following success we would no couple have in the promised land.
.....on the other hand, for me this article sums it all up very nicely..
I'm seriously considering popping in to my local bookies and asking them to give me a price on Archie being the player of the tournament at Euro 2028... I honestly believe he is destined to become an england legend 👍👍
I have done a MDT for sheff wed but it aint appeared as yet. Not my fault if one doesnt go up and we lose lol. So dont be coming at me with your accusations and blame !!
San Francisco 69ers are in the Superbowl final.... 👏
Won't be watching as no skill to passing an egg backwards and throwing 50yds forward hoping someone will catch it whilst evading big men in lots of padding wearing a motorcycle helmet.... sounds like a normal night out for Lord Drizzlybum.
There may be a little more to it than that though!
Will be hoping they win though as more money in our coffers and a feel good factor for our owners.
Farke says Gruev is humble, modest, patient and hardworking and also the first in and last out of the training ground....
Add him to Anthony, who still wanted to be on the bench after his mother passed away, and we have a great team spirit with everyone playing for each other....
I rate Cresswell and thought this would be his breakthrough season but obviously his attitude isn't 100% if he's not even making the bench,he would have got minutes if he buckled down and his dad shut the Fook up on social media.
2 months ago Gruev and Bamford were getting 2 minute cameo's off the bench,both showed good attitude & fight and both are now starting,add Firpo to that as well.
In Sam Byram we have one good left back. Firpo is back-up which makes it ironic that we let Niall Huggins (permanent starter for Sunderland and in Wales' national team) as well as Leif Davis (favourite player and 11 assists for Ipswich so far, this season) go for very little money. Davis sounds like a very loyal person whom you would, on top of his footballing skills, would like to have in your squad:
“I was 100 per cent right to make the move and I’ve never regretted it. I’m not just happy here, I’m very grateful to the club for bringing me here and I will always do whatever I can for them.”
There were a number of suggestions his attitude wasn't right at Leeds. Maybe having to go elsewhere has made him grow up and become a better player - not so much a mistake on Leeds' part, just a square peg and round hole situation. He is delighted not to be at leeds, many others are very happy to be at Leeds.
That's life.
I don't draw a conclusion that suddenly he was always going to be ace with us and we got it wrong.
Our official website is so slow and behind everything and doesn't even keep updated during u23s games etc....
Our own website now can't even get the name of our fkn manager correct!
It's bad enough misspelling arguably the bloke with the biggest job in the club but it's the connotation involved.... fkn embarrassing for a club our size at this level.
Our 300m libel case against Everton will be kicked out of court and they'll get fined less money (200k) than we did for 'spying' on a PUBLIC FOOTPATH by the FA.... or Millscum getting fined for racism 🤬
Sinesterra didn't even get on as sub when Bournemouth were losing.... if he can't get on in that situation trying to save the game when will he play!? 🙈🤣
I just finished reading a great book, it was called "How to become a millionaire" and it's absolutely spot on and very simple to follow....
You just start with a Billion, then buy and sell Everton Football Club.
Boom boom....
In all seriousness, The stuff I've read about their new owners (777) today - and their record at Sevilla, Standard Liege etc is very interesting. If this goes through that's a full 50% American ownership in the EPL along with sides like, err, us....

Elland Road Girl running in the 1540 at Bath today.... let's hope it doesn't finish outside the top 2! 🙈🤔😜😭
Anyone else have issues posting a new thread have a go please see if it gets approved
Can anyone name them? I don't know the bottom left but definitely know the top 3 and sure I know the bottom right....
Can anyone name the ground. I've got about 3 options!
I know which year it was as one of the players only played for one season....
Agent Joffy doing his job and Dull 2 oop v Blunts with 10mins to go! 🙌🙌🙌🙌
Just the small matter of Plymouth winning at Blunderland now ....

Citeh told Ipswich they got to cover Kalvin 150k pw wage! 🤣
How the fk will they be able to do that and would only cause ructions in changing room with the next best paid player on circa 30k(?)
And if they can afford that it just shows the 69ers how badly we need to be in the Prem!
Tyler Adams out for up to 4 months with a back injury.... I was gutted when we sold him as I thought he really got us.
He's only played 3 games for Bournemouth so we've dodged a bullet there....

Over 35s World Cup starting tomorrow with 8 BIG countries playing....
England have a very strong line up with the rumours:
James

Think I'm more interested in this than the Euros where there will be time wasting, divers, Ronaldo, cheats, anger to the officials....
Just can't find what TV channel it's on....

Hopefully we're not playing them next season!
Plymouth talking to Wayne Rooney - could they actually chop their own nuts off and appoint him to get them relegated.
Insane.
Thanks for all the nice replies 👍

Archie Gray scores 5 mins after coming on for his England u21 debut
What's this?It keeps popping up on this site but not on any other sites???
I have done a MDT for sheff wed but it aint appeared as yet. Not my fault if one doesnt go up and we lose lol. So dont be coming at me with your accusations and blame !!
Monk has got the Cambridge job. Been out of work since 2020 and did not do anything since he left Leeds for Boro then Brum.
Am sure there were better candidates so lets see how long he lasts. Another payday beckons if he gets the sack but it will not be as hude as others
Ipswich are on some run. Can’t see where they’re going to drop points at the moment. Whereas, Leicester…… they’re in a bit of a mess.
Why the fek does the consent to options keep popping up even after hitting remember choices 🤬

Mistakes happen, but what a waste...
I just dont get Brum and Sunderland sacking thier bosses when they where near a top 6 finish.
Makes no sense to me
Firpo out injured til possibly the New Year....when has he had a run of 5 or more games in succession!?
I can't work out if that's good or bad news!?
I'd definitely get rid in January as he'll be on big wages.... and done fk all for us!!

Hot on the heels of a £150k fine for the behaviour v Brighton I see the numpty that attacked Howe has been jailed today for 3 months.
Every club has their village idiots, but as a fanbase we don't help ourselves sometimes. 😣
