    [Travel] Eurostar to Amsterdam

    I'm not sure what's new here. You could always Eurostar to Brussels and then get a further train to Amsterdam. :shrug:

    I neither love nor hate Marmite.

    [Albion] Referee Jon Moss, watching MotD, in his Chelsea pyjamas.

    I'm not sure what remains wrong. The rule clearly defines what "influence on play" means - its not open to interpretation. Whether its a daft rule or not, at least its clear and unambiguous.

    [Albion] Referee Jon Moss, watching MotD, in his Chelsea pyjamas.

    VAR would've been interesting. Given the amount of debate even after the incidents have been micro-analysed though, I wonder if it would have made any difference. I think both penalties would have been given, and Lawro would still disagree with the first as he hasn't read the rule-book.

    [Albion] Referee Jon Moss, watching MotD, in his Chelsea pyjamas.

    Nope - you're wrong. here's the definition of having an influence on play: *** Apologies previous poster! did not see you had posted exactly the same thing! **** Kane did not do any of those things to become active. (he still dived though).

    [Albion] Referee Jon Moss, watching MotD, in his Chelsea pyjamas.

    I can't believe the motd pundits, but for different reasons. The first penalty was NOT offside (the pundits reckoned it was). There's no debate about that, the rules of the game are completely clear that if the opponent plays the ball, the attacking player is not offside. The fact that Kane was...

    [Help] FAO: The divorced of NSC

    Agree with this. Solicitors will try and create conflict in all manner of things you'd never even thought of. The more conflict they can engineer, the bigger their bill basically. Unless things are really bad, you don't need them at all. Have a look at the various online fixed price services...

    [Football] At least we had a go!!

    No var in the premier league.

    [Football] Discuss our current strategy for defending corners....

    We also never score from any ourselves - and we should do, given the aerial power we have at our disposal. For some reason we've got the tactics all wrong with corners at both ends. Maybe we could recruit a short term set piece coach. One thing I've noticed on this (and I know I've gone...

    [Music] Cranberries singer Dolores O'Riordan dies aged 46

    Gutted. Loved the Cranberries. RIP.

    [Albion] Our Passing

    Its the altitude. West Brom is the highest PL ground. The low air pressure at altitude affected the flight of the ball causing passes to go astray.

    [Albion] West Bromwich Albion vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

    Rodrigues apparently said something to Bong - racist comment perhaps? The ref reported it to the 4th official and it may be the subject of further action. Ref making the managers aware of the allegation.

    [Football] VAR who decides?

    I agree - people can't decide even with all the replays. It still comes down to opinions.

    [Albion] When people watch tv in SD when they can watch in HD !!!!

    The only things I bother with in HD are the things where I feel it actually adds to the experience. This tends to be football, nature programs (Blue Planet etc) and things with nice scenery (Countryfile etc). Other than that I stick with the SD because of the ball-ache of having to change...

    [Albion] Video Assistant Referees on Monday

    What happens if there's absolutely nothing contentious in the game on Monday. The players have probably been asked to dive around and cheat a bit to give it a good workout.

    [Finance] T/Wells Fuel Prices

    Its bizarre isn't it. They are usually empty as a result. I cant understand the economics of this. It reduces the efficiency of the motorway networks too with most people leaving the motorway to find fuel increasing the congestion at the junctions.

    [TV] Death in Paradise, new series.

    Yes - its wonderfully formulaic - the detective's sudden vision, based on some random thing said by somebody, the explanation of the crime and then the way they invariably confess or breakdown in tears, ending it all nice and tidily.
