    [Football] This rule about the linesman not putting his flag up for offside until the passage of play has finished

    To be clear, by the rules, if the linesman thinks its offside but lets the play continue so keeps his flag down.. is that being done just in case he's got it wrong? and so would have incorrectly stopped the game? or is there something more to it? If so and that's the reason behind what we saw...

    [Albion] Why was Fab sent off?

    Fair if so but Fab's part in that just seems to be missing from all the replays ive seen. MOTD & Sky for example shows Santo pointing and shouting directly at officials, but Fab is just standing there looking very confused.

    [Albion] You're the ref: Morgan Gibbs-White

    True. I guess that's the source of MGW's anger. He thinks the ref is either saying ''he got the ball, so no foul'' or ''he got the ball, so its a foul, but no card'' but then see's a red card in his face. Either way its a complete cock up of how to handle things from the ref as its the clearest...

    [Albion] You're the ref: Morgan Gibbs-White

    Just watched the MOTD replays. The clearest second yellow you will ever see. MGW is off the ground and goes through Pedro to get to the ball. Even if he does get a toe on the ball its irrelevant because of the force used which takes out the player, and stops an attack. Gibbs-White and Nuno are...

    [Albion] GOSBTS - No words onscreen today

    Yep im with you. Yesterday worked well, and felt more natural without the words on screen. With the words it becomes a bit like some forced karaoke. Yesterday felt more organic. The words on screen always felt so cringey. If you dont know the words and want to sing, then 2 minutes of research...

    [Albion] GOSBTS - No words onscreen today

    Thought it actually worked well today. Could hear people generally singing along near me, and then obviously louder at the chorus. Maybe just a bit of time learning the words for some & then everyone is happy.

    [Albion] how good are we, actually?

    Yeah shit against Everton. 🙃

    [Albion] how good are we, actually?

    Last nights team included Webster and Igor instead of Van Hecke and Dunk, so I wouldnt read a lot into it, solid foundations and all that.

    [Albion] how good are we, actually?

    The positive for me is that in our current state, with playing okay, we're getting results. When the injured players are back to 100%, when the newly signed players learnt the league, when O'Riley returns, when the squad in general have had more than a handful of games to learn the new managers...

    [Albion] Carlos Baleba

    You can tell that he's really starting to believe in himself and his confidence in building. A joy to watch.

    [Albion] how good are we, actually?

    Didn’t RDZ lose like 3 of his first 4? Maybe let’s just leave it a little further into the season. We have had major changes to the squad, and various others coming back from injury. It really isn’t the time for questioning our overall quality.

    [Albion] Lewis Carl Dunk

    One club man he said. I expect he’ll stick that. His best years may be behind him, but he’s not suddenly rubbish, so I doubt we’d entertain offers. Still has plenty to offer for us. If United do want an experienced centre back I’d think they’d try to find a player with trophy winning or European...

    [Albion] Matt O Riley [26/08/24 - sings on a 5-year deal]

    Tony says on official podcast that Matt’s operation is done, it was successful, and looking forward to seeing him back in the latter part of the year.

    [Albion] Jan Paul van Hecke - contracted to June 2027

    I remember a game a few seasons back, maybe 18 months, against Newcastle where the opposition were marking Dunk when we were trying to play out from the back in order to force possession & passing onto Van Hecke because he looked pretty nervous & unsure what to do with the ball. They were happy...

    [Albion] Rate Albion’s Summer 2024/25 transfer window

    is that accurate? Based on reported fees we paid; Wieffer £25m Minteh £30-33m Yalcouye £6m Osman £16m (but that’s in last years account I would assume) ACD free Kadioglu £25-30m Gruda £25m O’Riley £25-30m Rutter £40m And then sold Undav £25-30m Gross £8-10m Gilmour £10-15m & a few youngsters...

    [Albion] Yasin Ayari

    From last week, but he seems to be enjoying himself. Nice to hear such positivity. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/clyg48d2jdwo

    [Albion] That’ll do nicely!

    For me anything top 10 would be brilliant. New manager, new players, new tactics, anything could happen so I’d see top 10 as a very successful season.

    [Albion] Yasin Ayari

    Not every player is going to start games, we need a few that are happy to largely be bench players & then fill in where needed. He’ll do nicely in that role, & will be better player for it being amongst the first team for a full season.
