I saw this recommendation in a what culture youtube video of underappreciated films. Had a gift voucher for itunes, so used it on this film and have just watched it. It is called Beyond the Infinite Two Minutes. It is a small budget Japanese film in which a cafe owner discovers there is a two...

This is not the points thread you should be posting today, @Bozza

And the two goals that put them 3-1 up should have been ruled out, according to an independent panel. https://www.espn.co.uk/football/story/_/id/38573537/panel-says-diogo-jota-red-card-liverpool-spurs-was-incorrect

If you limit it to the shot, sure. But if you include the passage of play that led to him getting into position to shoot, it was soft. Too often opposition just run straight through us and get into dangerous positions too easily (see alo the Brentford run for the penalty on Wednesday).

Ever since Villa avoided relegation thanks (at least in part) to failing goalline technology I have found them to be one of my least favourite sides in the premier league and it irritates and annoys me to see them succeed. Probably doesn't help that we have been so terrible against them in our...

Earlier this season I was struggling to see much positivitiy in him, but he gradually started to show signs, then had a couple of good games, the second of which was good until he got sent off. He didn't have his best game yesterday, but I'm hopeful he will start to improve as he gets back...

Most years in the build up to Christmas I try to watch: Die Hard Love, Actually The Nightmare Before Christas Scrooged Muppet Christmas Carol Arthur Christmas In recent years I've added Anna and the Apocalypse to the list.

I didn't say the saves weren't important. I just don't think his performance was so impressive it ranks at the best performance by a goalkeeper at the Amex.

I can think of two particularly good saves. Everything else was pretty mundane. We didn't challenge him nearly enough for his performance to rank up there with the best.

We rarely win three in a row, so by not winning today, it has increased our chances on Thursday (in comparison to what it would have been if we were going in on two wins)

https://www.theifab.com/laws/latest/video-assistant-referee-var-protocol/#procedures "If play has not already stopped, the referee stops play when the ball is next in a neutral zone/situation (usually when neither team is in an attacking move) and shows the ‘TV signal’"

Oh look, palace winning. If that isn't foretelling us struggling today resulting in a terrible weekend, I don't know what is. (No, them losing, should liverpool get back into it, won't mean the reverse).

It feels a bit weird if the VAR sees the foul by us he doesn't just stick with the onfield decisioon and let the game play on, but generally no complaints. I was just offering examples of refs not changing their mind when going to the screen, and trying to be clear about the situation becuase he...

That was marseille. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/67014105 The Tottenham one was Lamptey's goal standing, despite a clear foul by March. https://talksport.com/football/782751/tottenham-referee-brighton-goal-var-penalty/

While some may view that as a common sense approach (I wouldn't argue against it) there's no rule that says he has to play the advantage. And if you're a cynic, you might argue that it would be the way the ref would go to protect the big six side.

As well as the spurs incident (I thought it was March, not Lamptey), there was the MArseille game where the ref ruled no penalty, was sent to look at the screen and he ruled we had commited a foul before their player, so still no penalty (but did give a free kick that he hadn't before, but since...

They, like so many teams, always up their games against the big 6 (and us). They wouldn't be putting in this sort of performance if they were facing wolves or everton or the like.

If that's not a foul by Hughes, it's a handball by the liverpool player and the penalty would/should have been overturned anyway.

Current government guidance is to isolate for 5 days from first symptoms. So you'd be following government guidance if you start leaving the house from Wednesday. Personally, I feel like the government policy isn't as strong as it should be. When I got covid before the AEK home game I was...
