    [NSC] New Feature: Ignore Threads

    Serious question, not a tongue in cheek thing about this thread - can we ignore threads started by mods? I can see a need for Mods to post things they don't want people to ignore, but at the same time, as you've said, the moderators are also general users and may post threads other posters...

    [Football] Everton Points Deduction.

    Makes it sound like that is the punishment the premier league are hoping to have, but will be an independent body that decides (and may not go as far).

    [Football] Bill Kenwright RIP

    I don't really know much about his tenure at Everton, but as a theatre fan, I've seen a few shows he produced. I believe he also bought the other palace from Andrew Lloyd Weber, which is a nice modern, smallish theatre not far from Victoria station. Been to a few shows there.

    [Albion] Manchester City vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

    I've not seen the goals City scored, so won't comment on whether Steele could/should have saved either. But to whether it looked savable; when I think of the goalkeepers we face and the saves they make, thinking Pope, Schmeichel, Pickford, Meslier, Martinez, De Gea (when he was better), etc we...

    [Albion] A good start to the season

    People said that about West Ham. And Marseille. And Bournemouth. And Villa.... I know I've blamed the constant mass changes disrupting the team. But now I'm starting to wonder if it's just us. Under Potter we would have a dip in form from the end of September through to December. The season he...

    [Football] Handball?

    It's always felt like a lazy excuse to criticise refereeing decisions, to me. Yes, you might be able to get more height using your arms, but not by sticking them out sideways and leaving them there. Pulling your arms downward, either with a swimming motion, or like milking a giant cow (best way...

    [Albion] Premier League 21-23/10/23

    Are sky not showing replays of contentious decisions until VAR have confirmed today? Didn't show the handball for liverpool until after pitchside review, didn't show the man u handball until after VAR review, didn't show the 'collision' with dalot until VAR review. I don't have the sound up on...

    [Albion] Premier League 21-23/10/23

    Until someone gets a massive benefit, like scoring or prevent a goal, with an accidental handball, then we start crying for a proviso for when it's not necessarily deliberate but it still feels like it should given. Then of course the argument goes to how much of an advantage, how far back in...

    [Albion] Premier League 21-23/10/23

    Still feels like it took a long time with the decision, even if they were considering that.

    [Albion] Premier League 21-23/10/23

    Why did it take so long to decide on a penalty looking at those replays?

    [Albion] Manchester City vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

    History would suggest shortly after they've clinched the title. Not too long after, though. And we need to have time after the game they clinched it for them to have over celebrated. I think last season they had a game the day after Arsenal lost, where they weren't able to celebrate much, but...
