Just thought i would note something funny, to me anyway.

In the below article the screen shots of the incident are from Le Sport a Hong Kong based company now doing premier league matches. The source is 50 frames per second as opposed to sky sports, BT etc being 25. So in theory more frames = greater clarity on a frame by frame basis i.e ability to look again at incidents with high quality footage.

Le Sport is not available here unless you have an iptv subscription. Now considering they post inaccurate scare stories about kodi i find it a bit rich their employees use iptv subs to view matches. Of course the screen shots could be sourced from elsewhere but what are the odds of that do you think? ;-)

Just because you don't like it, doesnt mean it isn't true. We have been in the last 3 youth cup finals, have won every age group league underneath that, have invested very heavily in the academy and yet we can only find 6 subs and we are bemoaning our lack of squad depth. As for, "if Jose had fit senior players the nippers won't get a look in", it seems like out current philosophy is; "even if we don't have fit senior players, the nippers won't get a look in".

So who do you suggest could have sat on the bench ? Also please explain what he would have gained by being sat on the bench ? The ones that could have sat on the bench played on Friday, is it better they missed that match just to keep everyone at $ky, especially RatBoy happy ? Stop always going on the wind up. Pep explained why and I trust him more than the media to be right.
 
Classic from MUEN today , i wont send the link they dont deserve the clicks "Uniteds win against Huddersfield closed the gap at the top of the table to 13 points, meaning City paid a heavy price for their wayward finishing" our friend Simon Bajkockhead hitting new height in journalistic ignorance , i can only blame the heavily tinted red glasses that obscured his vision whilst typing this comedic gem.

I won't read it either, but I assume, for complete journalistic (and I use the term very loosely) integrity, he has pointed out that the gap the previous week between the clubs, having each played the same number of games, stood at 12 points. From my scant knowledge of mathematics, that would appear to have widened the gap rather than closed it.
But that would obviously be fake news in his parallel universe.

Ah but we kicked off earlier than the raggies, ok same day and all that but in raggy world every second counts. I laughed more at 'the heavy price' we paid, wow Adolf Hitler paid a heavy price for invading Poland and even Saddam Hussein paid a heavy price for invading Kuwait but neither were as heavy as the price we paid for our wayward finishing.
 
Young players need to earn a spot in our 1st team squad not have it handed to them on a plate because there is a free seat
especially in the world where young players can earn ridiculous money even at 17/18 with some already thinking they've made it

Maybe Pep feels none are/were ready for that except the ones we are all aware of, maybe he feels it just dilutes the achievements of the young players (Foden, Diaz, Tosin) who have earned the right to be involved
by handing a player that hasn't a place on the bench

Sorry for the delay on this, I've struggled to find a search term that will explicitly reference it. Here's one that talks about the FA getting an exemption from FIFA for diving:

http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/...tive-two-match-suspensions-bans-a7870011.html

And this talks about it more specifically.

https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/how-new-diving-rule-would-work-m0g7r590w

Sadly, neither quote the specific rule.

I'll quote this from the Times article

Under previous FA leadership, the argument has always been that under Fifa’s rules you cannot deal with a yellow-card offence retrospectively using video evidence.

So it doesn't seem to be a definitive rule. Also, it's the IFAB that set overall football rules so FIFA may actually be acting en virus if they blocked something like this. The reason I asked about this is I know that FIFA weren't happy about the Irish League bringing in the 'triple strike' rule whereby referees could no longer award a red card and a penalty if there was a genuine attempt to win the ball fairly and the FAI stood their ground forcing FIFA to back down as it would have been outside their remit. It's been widely adopted now as well.

It was a definitive rule that has been weakened somewhat over the diving issue. But I don't know of any FA anywhere who has ignored the regulation with regards to yellow cards and retrospective action. And I suspect that would be a modification too far. But we won't know unless someone tries it, ultimately I guess. Or if IFAB propose it.

The English FA have ignored it with Ben Thatcher and in doing so set a precedent.

Which they then clarified to make clear it was only "truly exceptional" circumstances or not seen when ignoring the Callum McManaman challenge. Whether that changes in future, no idea, but I don't see them taking on FIFA personally.

It's still a precedent, they've grounds now to review any unsportsmanlike and violent challenge that receives a yellow card.

You can appeal yellow cards in La Liga so I see no reason why they can't be upgraded too

It's a precedent for something "truly exceptional", or not seen - nothing else. However much you might want these tackles dealt with, the very fact they've happened several times this season just to City means by definition they aren't.

Again, it's a FIFA rule the FA aren't going to war over. Just because you don't like it doesn't change that. What might well do is the arrival of VAR, because it's a nonsense rule if that comes in properly.

I don't think it is a FIFA rule though, it sounds a bit like "well the EU won't let us so our hands are tied".
