I’d rather referees could still exercise an element of common sense before making game-changing decisions. Very much a ‘calm down, do that again and you’ll be off’ situation yesterday. Each to their own. I’d be pretty annoyed if (when) one of our players gets dismissed for a similar heat of the...

The Baleba substitution was pretty much forced by him being on a yellow for so long. He probably wouldn’t have been able to make any saving tackles anyway because of the risk of dismissal. With a ready made replacement like Wieffer on the bench, it made sense.

Forest are banging on about it breaching the ‘referee’s call’ approach this season. Their usual PGMOL victim complex. Utter nonsense. The decision wasn’t “overturned”. The ref simply took the advice of the other officials present, as they always have, right back to the days of running over to...

Funny as it was to see Trossard get sent off for next to nothing, it’s ruined what was a really entertaining game.

One of those reds that didn’t make much difference as it’s late enough for the depleted side to see the game out by repeatedly disrupting the flow. Got the offside trap spot on for almost the entire game. The one time we didn’t cost us the win, so 2 points dropped. Paid the price for not netting...

The jury is out on that after his start there at Aston Villa! But it should be. Has come leaps and bounds ever since. Looking forward to seeing how he does in that role.

Hmmm. The stretch from Pyecombe to the A27 is pretty torturous again. Not sure why the bus doesn’t stay in the middle lane, then go round the roundabout to gain right of way and save 20 minutes in single file traffic 🤷🏻‍♂️ Edit: Like the one that must have left 10-15 mins later has done. Now...

Maybe you're joking, judging by the stuff about translations - but to address the first point... it's not being cut any shorter than before as the whole point is for the crowd to sing the chorus. While the PA has to stop when the whistle blows, the fans don't.

Exactly this. The 'snuffing out chances early' facet of a goalkeeper's game seems to be something some fans just can't get their head around. Going right back to the Ben Roberts days when people used to moan about him coming off his line to sweep up. Used to get hammered for the occasional...

You must have been unlucky. Love the ebars. Very quick and easy normally. Far more efficient than the human equivalent!

I’ve used supermarket fuel in every car I’ve had with no issues. The last one was 8 years old with 160,000 miles on the clock and still going strong when I decided it was time for a change. Don’t believe there’s any significant difference.

Could go either way long term but plenty of positive signs. First half was very good tonight even with a much-changed team. I think elements of the style are fairly chaotic. Attack-wise, the press is so intense that the chaos seems deliberate. We try to exploit it quickly. Defensively, a high...

I’m not sure if you’re being deliberately obtuse. Let’s make it easy for you. Israel gives a bad person an explosive device. Bad person is in a public place or driving when it explodes. Innocent people get hurt.

So they only ever use them when they’re nowhere near anyone else? Plainly that’s not true.

I reckon "in theory at least" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. We'll see though, maybe it's genius. Tend to think that anything which hugely increases the number of matches with no real jeopardy is unlikely to be an improvement. While straight knockout from the off would be far more...

Used Pyecombe once before and it was a bit of a ‘mare. Took forever to get from the A23 on to A27. Judging by others’ experience here, must have been an accident or something that day. Will give it another go. Thanks for the heads up.

Very clever. Seems rather indiscriminate as the owner could be anywhere when it’s activated.

Quite interesting that, as far as I can tell, even on a football forum there appears to be zero interest in the first night of the Champions League. Biggest shake-up in decades has worked wonders. Can’t say I’ve ever been less motivated to watch before the knockout stage. 8 games per club and...

Very sad. Rest In Peace.

Maybe we should change the thread title? Hope he pulls through.
