The VAR intervention
at 16:05 26 Apr 2025

Let's leave aside the fact that it is incredibly soft and not sufficient contact to bring him down (the current applicable test)...

VAR seem to believe that it was possibly sufficient contact. So then they should look at where the contact starts, as that is the point of the possible foul.

The initial contact was outside the box. The point of the foul was therefore not inside the area. Therefore it couldn't be a Penalty.

Therefore VAR HQ shouldn't have intervened at all.

It should have remained with the on field referee's original decision.

A complete failure to apply the rules fairly and impartially.

Homeopaths are on the Skilled Worker list for UK Visas.

But surely a basic understanding of homeopathy tells us that it would work best if there was only one homeopath per 60 million people.

Mel Jones for BBC International Sports Personality of the Year!!!

An incredible story. And there was me just thinking that Mel Jones was merely a trailblazer who proved that she was just as good, if not better, than the male TMS commentators.

Oh, and Afghanistan Women's XI for Team of the Year, too!

The most depressing thing I found out today

Michael Cooper went from Plymouth Argyle to Sheffield United in August for only £2 million, rising to a maximum of £4 million.

We signed a Championship Super Team, but didn't pick up the best keeper for a pittance.

Hive Mind help re a song lyric
at 08:05 12 Jan 2025

Which song (I think from the mid to late 80s) had the lyric "you can't jack to Fleetwood Mac"?

Both Google and Bing give no direct quote results, and just want to send me to watch Fleetwood Mac videos.

Why can't you start your own thread asking if it is ok to start a thread about starting threads?

If you do: here's a tip! Put it in "General" or the data from the feedback you get will be less reliable due to complaints about you putting it in the wrong part of the Forum.

12 (well, 14 with the VAR crew) man Brentford hold on against 10 man Ipswich.

The referee gave the free kick, so unless that was a clear and obvious error, why are they looking at what happened later?

There is an old adage in cricket:

Never make a judgement until both sides have batted.

Chris Stocks doesn't worry about that:

Sammy Morsy

*is* a Premier League midfielder, isn't he? Not just that he plays for a club who are playing in the Premier League. But he, personally, has demonstrated that he absolutely belongs there.

No question. Playing against some of the best in the position in the world he completely held his own.

It's quite remarkable that we were able to convince him to drop to League One.

Looking like it could be:

Harness Clarke Al Hamadi Delap Szmodics Chaplin Hutchinson

Anyone else a little bit concerned that we let Hladky go, as he could have covered Left Back and Right Back when we don't have the ball?

Middle Aged Man having a rant down the pub?

Micah Richards made the mistake of asking him what he thought, and he totally ditched the anchor role and just ranted at the rest of the panel, who looked at the table awkwardly.

I just rewound and timed it. 1 minute 34 seconds of pure angry rantage!
