    Bit of a petulant "get off me" elbow to someone's chest. Very very soft.

    Again, VAR micro analysing the game and attempting to apply it against rules that were written a million years ago.

    I stand with Paul Heckingbottom. Officiating is through the floor.

    I thought he spoke well after the game although I havnt seen the game itself. But yeah, if Spurs change their tactics to stop them playing out from back then its fair enough they have to see what the score is and how they adapt. Difference between time wasting and just playing the game.

    When Trafford got booked in the first half for time wasting I started thinking about how surely time wasting doesn’t exist anymore if the officials do their jobs and add the correct amount of time at the end of each half. Like theoretically Trafford could’ve spent 20 minutes taking the free kick but as long as 20 minutes were added at the end of the half no time was wasted.

    Your maths is sound but we would be there all night. Book the ****ers as early as possible. Think he was clocked at 26 seconds for a goal kick and their fullback was at 32 for a throw in.

    Of course. I want some consistency though because Arsenal were taking 30+ seconds to take corners yesterday and nothing was done. But then again its easy to pick on Burnley and not Arsenal.

    And that's the real problem. With or without VAR the Prem is ****ed. Sooner it implodes the better.

    Yeah I agree. As much as I want promotion, the reality of playing in a lopsided league with dodgy rules/officiating has clearly already hit Burnley, Sheff UTD and Luton hard. I am not looking forward to that first dodgy VAR decision at the SOL. Will be carnage:emoticon-0140-rofl:

    There is a big part of me that wants nothing to do with the prem, it can **** off and eat itself imo. If we do go up, I really want us to stick with Mowbray and the plan regardless of results.

    It’s been a decent start for Forest. I don’t think they’ll be fighting relegation this season. Made some good signings.

    Don't think it's the time wasting per se, more the officials need to stop these unnecessary delays in play so the fans see a better game.
    Adding the time on is all well and good, we actually benefited at the end of the first half on Saturday, but it's like everything else at the moment, the top six are like teflon as none of these rules apply to them including dodgy Var decisions.
    First two games our lads were picking up yellow cards for minor infringements which they wouldn't have done last season but seem to have learned fairly quickly.
    All we ask if officials give us a level playing field when making their decisions.

    Leicester 's new striker Tom Cannon was signed on deadline day knowing he has a stress fracture of his back and the club have no time frame for when he might be available to play.
    He currently is unable to train and hasn't done so since joining the club.
    If we were in for him looks like we swerved one there.

    Milan really poor so far. No rhythm at all.
