Summer transfer thread

Least he didn't get cleaned out mate. Interesting one. Looked like a tweak in one of the quads. Hopefully just a niggle and not even sniffing a grade 2.

 

Not a good start so far

 

And we have a great chance as I typed that. Should be winning

 

Wrong thread again. I am not good at this

 

according to stats on talkSPORT mate

 

according to what Jim White said on talkSPORT

 

Jones got Clarke in his pocket

 

I take everything said on Talksport with a good sized pinch,but,if that's anywhere near correct ,VAR is just not fit for purpose.

 

Even if you believe 100%, that someone is making everything up, you don't need to keep repeating it ...

... especially when there's a good chance you may be wrong.

These people never convince anyone of anything ever, totally pointless tbh.

 

50% of the time Jim is right, every time.

 

complained about it from day one, still used to favour certain teams but now they have the electronic assistant to prove them correct in their obvious bias.

 

It's almost all objective, either from the ref or the bloke, watching on a telly. They have nowhere near the tools to do the job they claim it can do.

Worse, the paying supporter at the ground is treat like the proverbial mushroom. Sitting there, possibly in the freezing cold or wet, not knowing what the hell is going on , while those at home watch with a cup of tea or a beer, and see all of everything. Sometimes knowing so quickly that it has been possible to text a mate saying " goal" or "penalty". It is an insane state of affairs, and one which demonstrates that football is ran by people who have mostly never played it, and almost certainly never paid to watch it.

Worse, even than that, is the taking away from supporters of the biggest moment a supporter can get; the wild, elemental moment when your team scores. It's now a hopeful, three quarter cheer in so many cases while some goon is trying to prove his job is important by finding some obscure reason to disallow it.

Var is on it's way to ruining football.

 

Spot on

 

Seen var used in a champions league game and nothing like we have here fast efficient and to the point

 

Thankfully we don't have to worry about it atm

 

They'll have in the championship as soon as they can. However bad it is.

 

Don’t know if it’s been mentioned but it fits this conversation. Anyone see the not given goal in the Huddersfield Blackpool game on Sunday? HawkEye failure

 

Yeah I saw the replay, it was definitely a goal and as you say the goal line technology failed.
Systems will always be susceptible to failure, but there should be a retrospective system in place to allow the goal to stand even if the game score is altered after the game has finished and points adjusted accordingly if necessary.

 

Have I missed it,but is there any news on how the scans for LND and Cirkin showed up?

 

Not heard anything yet. Am hoping neither is serious - the fact they both walked off (or jogged off in Stewart's case) gives me hope.
