Too right, and it is a substitute for TRFYA "Taking Responsibility For Your Actions" (I just invented that acronym pronounce Trifya) Large reason why Grenfell happened, everyone did CYA, noone did TRFYA
Must have been reading the same book. Also we need players to be encouraged to take ‘at the time, the most likely best decision’ when under pressure etc. Managers have been way too prescriptive for me. It’s a bit like in other situations when something goes wrong we hear ‘it’s a system problem’ as a cause. Altogether it builds up a culture of making sure no one is responsible or prepared to be responsible for anything!!?
We should be able to put together a video clip compilation of “how it went for Saints & how it went t for our opposition” to highlight the **** officiating decisions this season.
In some ways I see Saturday as Juric’s first ‘proper’ game in charge. He’ll have had nearly a week with them on the training ground.
Anyone with any semblance of hope or optimism about the upcoming Brentford game is invited to construct a match thread. You know you want to.
VAR transcripts from disallowed goal: VAR Scott: "Potential foul on the goalkeeper." Referee Salisbury: "I've got goal down, can you tell me any different Del (Derek Eaton, assistant referee)?" Assistant referee Eaton: "Nothing to me, I didn't see any holding." VAR Scott: "Checking the on-field decision of goal. Looking at the actions of Mateta and the actions of Ramsdale. Once more. There is contact, but I don't see a clear foul. It's headed. Is there an offside? No." Assistant VAR Akil Howson: "There's a player on the line. There's not an offside." VAR Scott: "Do we see anything?" AVAR Howson: "I personally think they're both engaged. Ramsdale's engaged with Mateta and I don't think it's a foul. There's not a clear action from him. VAR Scott: "I can't see enough to disallow a goal. He rests his hand on him but I don't think he pushes. Sal, confirming the on-field decision of goal."
And they where also blind to THB being climbed over in the same incident. Saints should do a Wolves and bitch and moan about VAR. Yes it is too late for us to stay up, but go all in and show the absolute incompetence of those using the VAR system. Saints need to be at the forefront and bring other affected clubs on board. **** VAR
Yes I was totally amazed at the last meeting about VAR, Wolves were the only club to voice an official rejection.
