  1. Still can’t believe Caicedo got away without a red card…from the FA rule book SERIOUS FOUL PLAYA tackle or challenge that endangers the safety of an opponent or uses excessive force or brutality must be sanctioned as serious foul play.Any player who lunges at an opponent in challenging for the ball from the front, from the side or from behind using one or both legs, with excessive force or endangers the safety of an opponent is guilty of serious foul play. SENDING-OFF OFFENCESA player, substitute or substituted player who commits any of the following offences is sent off: denying the opposing team a goal or an obvious goal-scoring opportunity by a handball offence (except a goalkeeper within their penalty area) denying a goal or an obvious goal-scoring opportunity to an opponent whose overall movement is towards the offender's goal by an offence punishable by a free kick (unless as outlined below) serious foul play biting or spitting at someone violent conduct using offensive, insulting or abusive language and/or action(s) receiving a second caution in the same match entering the video operation room (VOR) Reading those rules I can’t see how it is possible to draw any other conclusion than he should have walked.

  3. When Jurgen mentioned about the Michael Oliver giving us 4 fouls compared to 18 for Brentford in the recent game, it made me have a look at something I have been meaning to do for a while which was looking at the number of fouls committed expressed as percentage of when our opponents are in possession. I have used FBref for the data, no idea on the accuracy but seems legit. The results are in and we are once again top (or is that bottom) of the league. Any thoughts...is it our counter press which has been operating pretty good or is it the referees simply trying to shaft us.
  4. Saw him on Saturday. Been diagnosed with ADHD but came across as a sound fella. Funny with it. Had time for a quick word at the end.
  5. I have a couple of cousins who are blues who are well educated, very (I mean VERY) successful careers, nice families who are sound until you talk about footy and then they become raving idiots.
  6. Munich 0 - 1 Werder Bremen full time Leverkusen 7 points ahead although Munich have a game in hand. come on Xabi !
  7. Mate of mine worked in maintenance at Ashworth Hospital when Ian Brady was there. He said there was no way you could be left alone with him. Always had two big male nurses with him when in his presence. he also worked at Risely and said some butch female warden got her tits out one day in the office and wanted him to shag her there and then. no he didn’t !
  8. The Nick Harris thread in full (if like me you dont have X account). Depressing and insightful at the same time. Lots of commentary in past 36hrs about why PL charges under PSR rules against EFC and NFFC appear to be being expedited, while Man City's 115 charges (from an investigation dating back to 2018) linger, TBD on a now-agreed but not public timetable 1/n Everton (for a second time) and Forest have been charged for "simple" failures to balance their books around the "acceptable" losses of £105m over a 3-year ruling period. 2/n Whereas Man City's 115 charges effectively amount to accusations they were conducting financial fraud on a grand scale over a long period, and hoodwinking not just the PL but UEFA, and not co-operating. 3/n We know from Football Leaks and other sources that the City hierarchy's view has long been they'd “rather spend £30m on the 50 best lawyers” and sue Uefa “for the next ten years” than accept a punishment. THIS is plutocracy. 4/n They HAVE spent millions on lawyers. The've used every legal avenue possible to stall the process. When I was an MoS reporter in 2021 we used an external QC to gain access to "open justice" and attend court as City tried to stymie the PL's investigation. 5/n If Man City's supposed mountain of irrefutable evidence of their innocence is ready to go, then bring it on and get it sorted. For the benefit of everyone. 6/n They could have cooperated almost SIX years ago when the PL first started investigating them, and they didn't. That's their prerogative. It's not great on the optics but they don't care about optics. 7/n There is also a massive (MASSIVE) political element to this case. Sheikh Mansour is the deputy PM of a significant political ally of the United Kingdom. Imagine if he and his club were shamed by multiple guilty verdicts. Unprecedented and unpalatable. 8/n I'll be submitting further FOIs to try to establish the extent of British government involvement in the PL vs City case, but others so far have been fruitless. The stakes are SO much higher than whether a football club broke some football rules. 9/n Some (some) City fans go to extremes to convince themselves there's no case against City. Despite having been fined 90m euros (later reduced to "only" 30m) for major breaches of financial rules, and dishonesty, and non-cooperation. Before 115 PL charges. 10/n I've reported on City my whole working life. I knew, and know, people inside the club at all levels. I've been Khaldoon's guest in their directors' suite (albeit before I called them out). I have multiple sources who told me what really happened. 11/n Man City's hierarchy realised around 2010 that they needed "accelerated investment' before UEFA's FFP came into force. Their solution was cooking the books. That was evident from their 2014 punishment onwards. It's all been in plain sight. 12/12
  9. I don’t normally listen to talk shite but put it on this morning on the drive to the train station. Ally McCoist was the presenter and he got Alan Stubbs on to talk about the fairness of the latest charge. I didn’t manage to listen to 30 seconds before I had to turn the bell end off.
