Did they really? Mental. Probably getting all overexcited based on the recent fees Brighton managed to get for other players.
Don't know if anyone watched the Dortmund game tonight but It was a good watch. Sancho looks like a completely different player to when at Man U. I said this some time back if there was a chance to get him out of there I'm convinced Eddie would have him really performing well for us. Gordon Isak and a fully firing Sancho would be ridiculous.
I said this a while back also. But the consensus was that he’s a bit of a prick. But keep him happy and I am sure he would be immense. Problem is Dortmund want him and Manu want big bucks.
What are people thinking about the Forest / Everton VAR calls - I honestly can't see how none of those 3 shouts were called back and at least reviewed by the on field ref - the one I've heard the release of sounds dodgy as ****! I mean what the hell is a "mutual entanglement" when a player kicks the others Achilles going for the ball? They seriously need to do something with the VAR over the summer as it is ruining the game - either scrap it completely or broadcast it live so everyone can hear it - and if there is a VAR decision for a penalty or a red card the ref should HAVE to go to the screen to re-watch it. Taylor isn't a terrible ref and they are only human so get stuff wrong but let him go and re-watch those incidents and I bet he gives them all. First sentance is the most telling he has made a mistake in what he saw: "Referee (Anthony Taylor): “He plays the ball, he plays the ball, he plays the ball!” Assistant referee: “Ball for me.” VAR (Stuart Attwell): “Checking possible penalty, standby.” Referee: “Looks like he plays the ball!” VAR: “OK, so they come together. There’s mutual engagement between them before the playing of the ball, but it’s more of a tussle. VAR: “Longy (assistant VAR Simon Long) what I’m seeing here is no clear action by the defender.""
"Referee (Anthony Taylor): “He plays the ball, he plays the ball, he plays the ball!” which means 'don't get involved and make me look stupid - I'm going to the Euro's you know' same goes for Oliver for failing to award Chelsea a pen against Grealish in the FA Cup semi-final when it was blatant
Did you see the spuds penalty decision when rice just hoofs him ? The ref was 4 yards away, clear view and didn’t give it! Unbelievable Jeff
These recordings are fruitless.. if he's been paid he isn't going to say oh **** them I've been paid.. he's going to say something like he said.
