    Brings back memories. Went to kavos on an 18-30s when we were 20. Some cockney trying sell us an 'event'.

    " Yeah so you get pissed at one end of the pool, birds get pissed at another. Then you shout slags at them and they shout wankers"

     

    Yeah think we'll pass on that.

     

    Cant help but feel you missed out there

    This thread is proof that it's very easy to get the decisions wrong.

     

    People keep saying it's the clowns running it who are the problem, but we're all fucking clowns really, we make mistakes, are open to influence, we're inconsistent & we're human.

     

    Adding this extra layer of clowning was never going to solve anything and never will.

     

    Your right in general but I cant accept the inability to apply the rules of the game to incidents that are being played out on a screen in front of you. I dont know why they seem to be almost commentating the game as it goes along.

    Quite easy to get it 'wrong' as a lot of big decisions in Football are subjective so unless you yourself are in charge of what happens in every game, you are going to disagree with some decisions.

     

    Comparing football to other sports doesn't work either, it is a free flowing, simple game & that is why it became by far the most popular sport in the World. Introducing rules from rugby, cricket or baseball only serves to detract from our enjoyment & the general beauty of it.

     

    Quite simply, introducing VAR into Football was a huge mistake & should be reversed as soon as fucking possible.

     

    If a decision is subjective in the first instance then you simply look at the replay and apply the rules? You can have differing opinion but the actual footage in front of you solves it. Its hard to get that wrong.       

  4. Before VAR, refs got huge stick but you could argue a case for them they had to make split decisions in the heat of the moment- they couldnt go back and change their minds once they made a decision, and teams got robbed as a result.

     

    VAR solved ALL of those issues, they could watch incidents in freeze frame and completely change their minds if they want to- problem solved, what a great idea. The game will benefit hugely from it. It works brilliantly in other sports. Once you have a chance to pause and look at an incident on a screen you literally cant get it wrong! You cant.

     

    But they do. Frequently. Often when the stakes are highest.

    Don't worry - that's all fixable.

     

    I mix my grass seed in with topsoil. Really stamp it down too. Ge generous with the seed. It'll come back and look really good.

     

    Also use one of the feed & weeds, once your seed is established.

     

    Lawns can take a lot of effort, but look great when done well. I bought a Suffolk Punch especially to do the lines.

     

    I have loads of moss this year, so just put down some killer. Will give it a couple of weeks then rake it out. Hope I get shut of it.  

    Ive got loads of Moss this year- is the killer a spray or a dry thing? Just thinking about the dog if I have to leave something on the area

    Patchy as fuck my grass this year due to some leaves not being picked up. Have put grass seed down last week but still waiting for them green shoots. Moody as fuck my lawn.

    I cut my grass far too late last year (probably late November) In the summer I had levelled it out a bit with a layer of soil and seed. After the cut it never really grew back so each downpour has flooded the patio with a nice dark brown 2 inch deep soil soup. 

  7. For most of the 2nd half United were chasing shadows…… In a way I’ve become immune to my entrenched hatred of them due to our recent success.

     

    it’s back like you wouldn’t believe. 
     

    Turns out this is Ten Haags “turning point”

     

    I fucking hope so. I hope he lasts 5 more years the inept twat

    We could get that in one game if we put our minds to it. With Salah back up there with Darwin, and Diaz running right into form, we could absolutely demolish someone.

    While I’d agree I hope we don’t get Palace away 3-3 vibes where we go all out and then balls it up. I appreciate this is a different club compared to then. I just find that history says when pressure is on you to thrash someone it rarely happens.

     

    The fixture that is bothering me is Fulham away.

     

     

    Actually, scrub that, all the remaining away games are bothering me!
