'A contract to be loyal to Hull city' is a new one on me. You mean he signed a contract which states he needs to be available for training, games and club events? Unless a clause was added specifically there is nothing in a standard player contract stating they must not talk fondly about former clubs.

I wonder if west ham fans are raging because Bowen has gone against his loyalty clause by spending his wages on Hereford? I bet the Chelsea fans were going mad at the love in offered by Rosenior towards us in the cup game build up.

Fans applaud former players, and former players often talk fondly of their time at another club. Its life.
If your missus said hello to her ex boyfriend would you start losing the plot because she has breached her loyalty clause?

I think you’re missing the point. I don’t think there’s an issue with him or anyone speaking fondly about their love for a previous club but firstly it’s naive if he thought the timing of speaking of his love for the club would go down well with City fans after such a gutting last minute defeat not helped by his stupid tackle. The worst bit though is him talking about being ‘hurt’ by the reaction. I mean get the violins out! What did he expect? Blades fans massively dislike him and don’t hide this so he wasn’t ever going to get a good reception! It’s just his bruised ego at work.

Incoming rant warning….

Ffs. No consequences for s… performances, John Brooks, our Sat ref, is in charge of VAR tonight for Man U/Leeds. You couldn’t make it up. So much for the apology to us for his s… performance, he doesn’t even get dropped, he gets promotion back to Prem League! The entire game, powers that be etc don’t give a flying f… about what they are doing to clubs & supporters. :mad:

And he's made another howler tonight. In a vital game like this, it was stopped and the referee on the pitch called to view VAR on the side of the pitch. there had been a tussle between Calvin whoever and the Man U centre half, one you see at virtually every 50/50 ariel challenge, yet Brooks ( if he did) decided with the benefit of slow motion playbacks that a foul had been committed and sure enough the ref sent off the Man Utd centre half. It was a huge decision at the time and a massive advantage handed to Leeds who held onto win 2-1. The games ****ed.

I live in Sheffield and know loads of blades fans. None of them speak positively about Lundstram for the reasons you’ve cited. Weird that he doesn’t seem to realise how he is viewed by them. Most of them like McBurnie or at least if not like him wish they had him in their team and are envious that he is in ours!
Work was not pleasant today…!!

It was a very clear red card, Martinez pulled DCL's hair that's an auto red.

How many apologies have we had this year for refereeing performances..?.. or were the other ones former referees saying that **** in charge had a shocker... surely the club have to representations to the EFL.

Perhaps Serge is right, for as much as VAR in some ways destroys the game, there is far far too much at stake for it not to be used..

It's been interesting reading back on our 08/09 season the amount of times the writer laments bad decisions or clear offsides. I rolled my eyes and thought he was just showing typical bias, but I went and watched the highlights of the Everton game for instance where Fellaini scores the opener and he is a mile offside. That's what VAR should be used for, not these toenails, but things like that used to be got away with. Still happens to some extent in the EFL to be fair. I don't think a VAR that just looks into those sorts of howlers should be completely dismissed.

I thought the whole point of VAR was to rectify the match officials’ ‘clear and obvious’ errors or if they missed something rather than measuring centimetres for 5-10 minutes.

You’ll want 442 next John, wingers that get to the bi-line and cross it. Get out the 80’s John :)

My point is sometimes the inverted wingers are not effective, when Gilo is playing he gets to the Bi-Line more often and creates chances for Olly. Just to give defenses someting different to handle, I still think a right footer on the right and a left footer on the left, for 15 minutes during a game might be effective.

VAR should be used in the way it was originally intended , to overturn clear and obvious mistakes

No idea how big is the pool of officials to choose from, I presume not very.
An alternative to VAR would be more officials, could easily have 4 lines people and maybe 2 referees.

Oh and the lines people need to do more, often an incident takes place right in front of them but they don't flag it up until after the ref has blown his whistle.

That ignores the reality that there is even more controversy with VAR than without. Look at PL fans, they're never saying how happy they are with referees now that VAR is there, it's the total opposite. There's more anger and conspiracy theory around decisions in the PL than ever.
