Some good results for the smaller teams yesterday. Coventry beating Stoke, I was happy about that.

NOT My Calendar But This One is " Up The Creek "....
Printed Toooooooooo Early, Yep..... =D> =D> =D>

.................

Not really the right thread for that 747, but it looks like excellent business to me.
Bought for £8.5m sold for £142m.
Midfield players were hardly something Pool lacked, but they bought Salah, Oxlade-Chamberlain & Naby Keita before they allowed this to happen..
Plus, the real thing they needed to do in order to progress, they also have spent a shed load on Virgil van Dijk. Maybe overspent, but they knew the money was coming back..

Oh ! Dear Someone will be NIGGLY Tonight......FT Newport County 2 - 1 Leeds United

Perhaps they will draw Everton in the FA Plate silly me, we don't have a "plate" competition in Football for those knocked out at the first hurdle do we

All in the stride scouse. How did you find the local derby the other night

Surely the result of the round was last night.....Nottingham Forest 4 Arsenal 2
Managerless Forest thoroughly deserved their win.They never allowed Arsenal to settle and ran them ragged.Arsenal did make a raft of changes from their last game but their side still contained several internationals.Arsenal paid the price for underestimating their Championship opponents.
Their only chance of a domestic trophy is now the League Cup but they face a tricky two legged tie against Chelsea in the semi final.

Replays tonight..

The balance the day after..

Well, for all you VAR dissidents out there. Eat yer hearts out. Watched Foxes v Fleetwood Town Replay. One "goal" disallowed, the whole of the ball being shown on replay to have crossed the goal line prior to being crossed and tapped in. One goal allowed after initially being disallowed by a linesman's flag for offside. video replay showed the player Ineacho was clearly onside. No yellow card shown to the lineasman either! The quicker it's introduced into PL games the better. Too much money involved let alone Manager's livelihoods!

Lets do away with the players/lino's/refs and just show a game of FIFA 18 on a big screen for everyone to watch. ..... or better still turn all the grounds into office blocks and give the fans remote control buttons to adjust their x boxes at home.

Goal line technology was the thin end of the wedge, and that's now had to be suspended in France coz of too many mistakes VAR causing problems in bundesliga, and how long before football rules have to be changed to suit the computer and its programmers? Yeah I know ..... we all said that they couldn't change safety issues in businesses to suit a computer programmer but they did :-&

Just seen that 47% of Bundesliga PLAYERS want VAR scrapped.

How long did it take to make the VAR decision last night ......... oh yes 1 minute 44 secs

"Well, for all you VAR dissidents out there. Eat yer hearts out."



One VAR match doesn't make a summer

Too many video refs spoil the broth

Ya can lead a ref to VAR .... but ya cant make VAR get in right

See no Clear & Obvious error. speak no Clear & Obvious error and ya ref will hear no Clear & Obvious error
