    [Albion] Newcastle's slow ticket sales / new penalties for handing on tickets

    Good for them. Not much point having quick sell outs to the wrong people. I wonder if some people like to buy friends with football tickets…I don’t know why some others seem proud (if that’s the right word for it) of fast sell outs.

    [Albion] How would you react if a Middle Eastern country took over the Albion?

    Walk away. I’m not interested in brand Albion. If that’s all that’s on offer then that would be it.

    [Football] Mac Allister red card rescinded

    You have inadvertently created a martyrdom thread for wounded, resentful Albion fans. You cheeky chap.

    [Albion] Are Spurs right to "be put off by Evan Ferguson's £100m price tag"?

    He was talking about the potentially more in demand players. He explicitly mentioned Mitoma and Estupinan as staying at least one more year. Didn’t mention Ferguson but I would say he is more in the bracket of those others than were Undav or Sanchez. Of course you are right that everyone has...

    [Football] Mason Greenwood

    Man Utd didn’t help themselves in a number of ways. The fact that they investigated at all given they have no power. Gary Neville has said it should have been an independent enquiry. Their cack handed statement that declared him innocent when the authorities have only said there is new evidence...

    [Albion] Are Spurs right to "be put off by Evan Ferguson's £100m price tag"?

    RDZ said after the Man U home game that Ali Mac and Caicedo are going and nobody else. Thems the facts….

    [Football] Yellow card consistency

    Yep, refs aren’t looking for every angle they can to cheat everybody in sight like the players are. Ex player pundits (with a small number of honourable exceptions) have the least knowledge of football on display in the game and mainly base their views on who their mates are. Much like fans really.

    I wonder whether he/she/they would like to attend the curry night ? xxx

    [Football] Yellow card consistency

    No, not necessarily. The longer the sample (in time) perhaps there is some evening out but that doesn’t necessarily occur within a season and it is statistically possible for a club to be on the wrong side of enough decisions for it to have an impact. It’s very difficult to prove either way...

    [News] Baby murder nurse case

    Do you really know your friends though ? On the documentary they showed pictures of her on nights out. That doesn’t make for a particularly deep friendship and quite frankly you never really know what’s going on in people’s heads no matter how much of a friend you think you are.

    [Albion] Sir Glenn Is Moving In Down the Road.

    My Dad was born in and grew up in a tied cottage in Twineham. Facing ‘Harry Osborne’s field’ which is a phrase I heard a lot growing up when told to go outside. Oh blimey, are we related ?

    [Football] Yellow card consistency

    I don’t think the ref saw the Partey incident. I thought he would be booked as well but when the camera took in the ref he was looking elsewhere. It happens. You can’t expect them to have eyes on 22 players at all times.

    [Football] Yellow card consistency

    But you can’t have consistency from referees anymore than you can have it from players. They aren’t robots.

    [Football] Yellow card consistency

    My guess would be that some things were just missed. I think it unlikely that some refs adhered to the new guidelines in their entirety and others didn’t in their entirety. In our game the ref clamped down early which is probably key. Player co-operation will also play a part and refs may need...

    [Football] Yellow card consistency

    Not sure. I don’t doubt things were likely missed but my concern is that this is then used to undermine the new rules. The question I would ask is overall is our game better or worse for the new guidelines ? Perhaps. There didn’t seem to be any big club bias last night though. Arsenal were...

    [Football] Yellow card consistency

    Which just means that one ref did what was required and one didn’t. Booking Gross was the correct decision. I think that generally there has been a big clampdown which will improve the game overall. Just because you can find a few examples where it hasn’t been enforced doesn’t change that...

    [Football] Yellow card consistency

    For the Arsenal player’s second yellow the ref was conned by the Palace player. There was no shirt pull. These things will happen all the time football players are cheating scumbags. Could easily have been the other way around in another match, so tough. The first yellow was fully justified imo...
