  1. Indeed. It's fucking mental how shit it is. Goals like Everton's last night should never be given offside, but it has to be consistent. The one Maguire scored, which I've seen people use as a justification for VAR, is so clearly offside that it doesn't need lines drawn and that's exactly how it should operate. If you need lines, it's onside.
  2. Yes OK, there are circumstances in which it couldn't be described as bottling it. Ie, Arsenal win all their games or whatever. Unlikely circumstances though.
  3. Well there's nothing in my tone that says "when". In fact, I said iny first post that we'll likely win it.
  4. Yeah, in my opinion, not winning the league from this position would have to be considered bottling it. It's just the truth, unfortunately. Like I say, I don't think we've bottled it before, including last year, but this year is different. We have a fully fit squad, a seven point lead over a side with loads of injuries, and the usual suspects, City, are nowhere. It's there for the taking.
  5. Probably neither. We'll likely just win enough points to stay ahead and, because Arsenal aren't anything special, we'll win it. It genuinely would be a fuck up of monumental proportions to not win the league this season, let's not beat about the bush. In my opinion, we've not "bottled" anything before, but if we don't finish the job from this position against a weak opponent, I don't see how it could be described as anything else. Just beat Wolves...
  6. May well have been posted but there's a few songs on Astral Weeks
  7. Oh yes, I suppose things were pretty marvellous in the "good old days". Four year old kiddies digging coal... Three year old kiddies, err, digging coal as well as the four year old kiddies.
  8. Is Funnnneeee not that Bumcunt fella? Edit: already established, I see...
  9. It gives players an incentive to exaggerate and playact when fouled in a way that might lead to a sending off because they know VAR will/might slow it down, take it out of context and say oh but he's made contact with him, yadda yadda yadda. So why not at least stay down for a bit and try. There was a particularly bad example during the game v Leicester but it happens all the time. No doubt they're being coached to do this. Same with penalties, try to manufacture contact, just fall over in a carefully choreographed, practised way and VAR will/might slow it down and there'll be "contact" and you might get a penalty.
  10. That was a very nice bit of quality from Le Fee for Sunderland, who I'd never heard of before and seems to be on loan from Roma
  11. It's absolutely shite in the SPL, as are the officials who administer it. The rules in general are absolutely shite as well and in parts make no sense. VAR also encourages cheating, which doesn't help either. Then you watch the Carabao matches and the Championship and other football without VAR and, guess what, it's far fucking better. But sure, let's just ruin the game...
  12. Boro live on ITV tonight and Doak isn't playing... Fuck sake, I was looking forward to that.
  13. I'm pretty sure I heard it said that no team has ever failed to make the final following a 2-0 away win in the the first leg of a League Cup semi. Probably aren't that many examples, mind you.
