    [Albion] You're the ref: Veltman v Rice

    It was obviously the right decision and the airtime given to whinging arsenal supporting pundits or others who simply don’t know (or like) the laws has been ridiculous. Shambolic coverage. Had this been some Jonny foreigner the narrative would be “he let his club down with petulance” but not our...

    [Politics] The 2024 US Election - Trump v Harris

    I find it remarkable that people who were worried about biden’s age don’t seem to care about Donald. He can’t even get the name of his biggest cheerleader correct. He called him Leon Musk. The bloke’s mental condition seems to be declining quickly.

    [Misc] Plantar Fasciitis...

    I love my spiky balls they have really helped my various foot issues. Also helps hamstrings. Great before any exercise. Hurts like hell at first but soon eases. Push as hard as you can. We should all have spiky balls...

    [Cricket] Cricket- 3rd Test, Oval, September 6th-10th, 2024, Sri Lanka tour of England

    I agree with this. We have become so complacent it is embarrassing. It seems they just try to make the most outlandish selections they can. In additionBeing attacking is one thing but our openers have basically just slogged.

    [Football] Lee Carsley - The National Anthem.

    You have to remember that before the euros final the right wing crowd were buzzing because our players sung their hearts out showing passion whereas none of the Spanish players sang a word. This meant we were nailed on to win. Granted the Spanish anthem has no words but that is a small detail...

    [Albion] Yasin Ayari

    Ayari’s chance was 0.3 XG. Gross missed a 0.41xg at 1-0 when we lost 2-0 last season. Gross missed plenty of chances too!

    [Politics] Brexit

    To be fair this is possibly the greatest irony of Brexit. “We need to be free of EU regs” say the rich right wing independent school educated Tories. “No not that regulation. We meant all the other ones that don’t benefit us over poor people”

    [Albion] So, 3 PL games in, are we a real threat?

    I think we need to be careful with forgetting some details. The two Everton sitters were actually offside (assuming you mean Dwight Mcneill’s misses? Odegaard missed a huge chance but Trossard was clearly offside before he crossed so it would have been disallowed. I am still not sure how...

    [Humour] Jason Manford at The Forge

    I really like Manford. No offensive jokes just observational humour. I like some really offensive comedians as well but not always.

    [Albion] You're the ref: Veltman v Rice

    If Veltman was kicking it to no one then Rice is even more of a mug. Let him kick it. The only way Pedro incident is comparable would be if a player had ball in hands and about to throw and he knocked it out.

    [Help] Kids missing GCSE grades

    School have told me that they don’t think my lad is the only one in the year. A national scandal could be developing! I hope it gets sorted. It is shocking.

    It is nuts isn’t it. If I was not breaking some data protection rules I would put an example of a page of their writing on here. The kid who got the higher mark will be a hero in their house. There is no chance they would have expected it!

    It was AQA. It has still not been resolved. Is that someone from kenilworth school?

    [Albion] You're the ref: Veltman v Rice

    A little clip in the shin vs studs up above ankle though. No way Veltman injured rice. In fact rice more likely to get injured from his ridiculous dive.

    [Albion] Georginio Rutter - singed 19/8/24

    My best mate is a Leeds season ticket holder (in fact he came to the United match with me and my lad for our annual trip to the late August match). When we were linked with Summerville earlier in the window he said “to be honest I think Rutter is more important to us because he creates all the...

    [Albion] You're the ref: Veltman v Rice

    Correct. It would. Which is why Rice is even more of a mug for kicking it when no need. Until Veltman kicks the moving ball he has not committed the offence of kicking the moving ball.

    [Albion] You're the ref: Veltman v Rice

    But the incident vs Crawley the ball was live. Our player had every right to kick the ball and some time later he was clattered. In this instance the ball was dead so rice had no business kicking it off the pitch. Those two situations are even less comparable that the Pedro throw in incident to...

    [Albion] You're the ref: Veltman v Rice

    This is wrong. Veltman’s kick would have been a clean strike if the ball was where it should have been. You can see from this pic sequence that his foot is where a foot would be to kick a ball on the ground. I am not disputing he obviously kicked rice on purpose but he would 100% have kicked a...

    [Albion] You're the ref: Veltman v Rice

    Also overlooks the fact that Arsenal were screaming for a card for Pedro. Demanding a card is a bookable offence and the ref’s whistle had not gone. It takes some mental gymnastics to say Pedro should be booked but rice shouldn’t.

    [Albion] You're the ref: Veltman v Rice

    I have joked about arteta constantly being on the touchline which should get him a yellow card but actually it can impact play. In the first minute Mitoma dribbled one down the line which Odegaard thought was out so started calling for a ball from ball boy and arteta shouted at the ref. The ball...
