    NOLU, I’ve been making that point for ages, VAR, can only be used if a goal is scored, if the ref stops the game for an incorrectly given offside, the defence benefits as the player shouldn’t play after the whistle, what you can see though is linos not flagging for tight offsides knowing that VAR will sort it out if a goal is scored….Pagan

    10% of all transfer fees to go into grassroots football, as facilities not to run it. Start replacing all the AstroTurf pitches with 3G ones, and improve the quality of the grass pitches. That would be a start….Pagan

    NOLU, trouble is players do that all the time, every time a ball goes out of play both sets of players appeal, how many times do you see players say they got the ball in a tackle when they didn’t….Pagan

    9, interesting point that, point deductions and transfer restrictions seem to be handed out for financial indiscretions, rather than keeping the integrity of the game, cynics may say it’s all about keeping the status quo, by stopping the next Chelsea or Man City happening….Pagan

    Stuilse, having reread law 12, I can’t see how he can be booked for the celebration, but he could have been booked for keeping hold of the ball and delaying the restart of the game. It’s petty to say the least, considering the timing of the goal and how close it was to the equaliser.

    Anyway he got his 5th booking so he’s suspended, so that’s that….Pagan

    NOLU, I’ve heard some of them, and I think these stories should be told as some are just so funny, they’re not all the nasty side of hooliganism, some of the things they did to try and get to games, trying to avoid the police are comical….Pagan

    MUFC, I’m not Jose biggest fan, but in this case I don’t think Jose is the bad man here. Bristol had pulled of a shock win, the whole of the media wanted a piece of the Bristol manager and team, add in the draw was after the match and the time for niceties just disappeared. I would assume Jose had a plane to catch so was on a schedule that didn’t have much play in it…Pagan

    Had a look through the laws of the game, I can’t see why Morata would have been booked for the manner of his celebration, however he may have been booked for preventing or delaying the restart of the match by keeping hold of the ball….Pagan

    Regarding the West Ham Arsenal match tonight, if they’ve been watching the games since they played City and Chelsea and the difficulty both teams had in breaking down a team that doesn’t have the flair and talent of the better sides and therefore defend their own box with all outfield players behind the ball. Well if they watched Chelsea last night the diagonal ball for the wide players into the corners is the way to beat a team that parks the bus, well lets see if West Ham take that on board and use that tactic tonight….Pagan

    999, yeah I know, as I said you get in between the ball and the defender and stop/slow down, defender comes in too fast, natural reaction is to put your hands up and push what’s in front of you.

    the only problem I have with this is when players shield the ball out of play as they need to be in playing distance of the ball, quite often they’re not and it should go down as obstruction, but never does.

    999, yeah I got that, but it’s the same principle get between the defender and the ball, put the brakes on, natural reaction is to put your hands up to stop a collision, foul all day long. Makes no difference where you are on the pitch, its clever play, and its coached…Pagan

    Pax,

    If this is a legitimate penalty then why don’t the coaches just tell all attackers that when in the box having a defender chasing you down just stop, the defender has no time to react and they will run into you and foul you every time

    they already coach this and have done since I can remember, push the ball forward across the defender, get in front of him and wait for contact, if necessary take a bit of pace of…Nothing new there….Pagan

    LD, not so sure about him being strapped, but it’s good money for three weeks work.
    What a great experience though, sitting around having loads of banter, falling out with one person cause he’s a bit of a knob and then being accused of bullying, a bit like being on here of late really…Pagan

    R2R, that’s their job, to cause debate, it’s like on here, if everyone had exactly the same view on everything it would be a bit dull.
