    Meslier has really surprised me and will get even better. He has a hell of a future ahead of him <ok>

    Morning all :emoticon-0148-yes:

    Marcos' Monday thought - if Klich had scored against West Ham and we won, we would now be 12th discussing whether we could emulate or even improve upon last season instead of fretting about relegation - fine margins!

    Gallagher is just a mouthpiece for the refs union. In fact shyt. Es we know we have been shafted 3 times for penalties this season from only 7 games. Everyone who sees replays besides Jim Beglinagrees on the lens and even MotD say we have been robbed again. The other anomaly thats killing us and football in general is the ref allowing play to go on and not blow up for fouls. At Burnley we had the shyt kicked out of us and should have been at least one red card, but nothing. Yellows were dished out way too late and should have been reds. Dallas was kicked-up in the air. We have had this too many times where no consistency from these useless refs. Too many matches spoilt because the ref is useless too many teams losing a game or drawing when could have won and we are only 7 games in. My argument is if we had see a red card at Burnley we would have taken all 3 points. Penalty at Newcastle all 3 points and a different seasons start!Saturday a penalty and the floodgates open so we are 2-0 up way before half time and an easy 3 points without worrying

    I hate VAR and want it scrapped. I think on field refs are shirking decisions like the James one thinking they’ll be bailed out. If we do have to stick with it, it should be like the rugby where the on field ref decides if there is a better angle. So on Saturday he could have said something like from my angle behind I’m not sure if it’s a penalty, can I see your replay to check from the front.

    The Valencia manager has gone public in his criticism of Costa and his lack of defensive abilities saying he needs to get his act together if he is going to be considered for the first team. It looks increasingly likely they’re going to terminate the loan in January

    Whitejock already knew this as he saw it all coming from his seat in the East stand lower. Then and only then do you earn the right to christen costa.. Hilda. Did you know you can see the moon from East lower too and dat is a fact.

    Exactly and this should be known as the common sense way of arriving at the correct decision. Instead we expect our officials to make each and every decision before being able to use the technology available to them at the side of the pitch.

    It's like we're trying to pretend the technology isn't there, but then oh yes it is, but only sometimes and totally at the whim of another offiicial sat miles away drinking tea & dunking biscuits.

    It probably needs one brave referee to go rogue, when there's a big decision to be made just blow the whistle and make the VAR signal, then go straight over to the monitor saying I need another look before deciding.

    The Valencia manager didnt want Costa in the first place so is never going to use him. The club owner and Costas agent did the deal and the agent will also move Costa elsewhere in January earning himself a few more quid. Costa will never be back and his agent will keep moving him

    I meant to say that you were spot on with human nature, the minute he is told to go to the monitor in his head he thinks he’s made a mistake. Where I am not in agreement with you is getting the crowd more involved. Football is fast pace and exciting, this would just slow it up and it doesn’t need the gimmick of VAR that tennis and cricket need. If it’s not even being used properly just get rid. Premier league became a multi billion pound industry without it.

    i hope hilda gets a nice comfy place then.one where he does not have to make a tackle or run around too much.plus he needs to look after his hair all those showers are not good for it..but most off all i hope some big brute of a defender sorts him out the lazy wage thief.
