Tbf, I don't know why Kyle led there for so long.

Pity he didn't backheel the ball as hard as he backheeled the signage board

 

[give it to gordon]

The commentator went ballistic when Sheffield scored lol.
Also sky turned the sound down when Sheffield sang WWYWYWS !

Van Dick attacking the match officials seems to have been a figment of my imagination. I wonder if PR guy Dermot will mention it on SSN shortly...?

 

[Norbiton]

Not always.

One of the recent "clarifications" that mean the laws are now more than twice the length they used to be since Stanley Rous revamped them in the 30s.

It might be a clarification, but it isn’t a change in the law. It was one of the questions in my ref’s exam thirty years ago!

Extra game ban for his verbal abuse should be in order

I’m shocked. I honestly am. Sly Sports using Rashford and Manchester United to promote their PL matches. I honestly didn’t expect that. I thought Sly Sports would have used Haaland, the last season’s PL‘s top goal scorer, and Manchester City, the current PL Champions and Treble winners.

But we're not on TV this week? And the above are

It wasn't in law 11 thirty years ago. I don't think it was put in the law until no more than 20 years ago.

Dermot Gallagher agreed that Walker was active even though he was off the pitch, a new one on me.

Yes I didnt know that either apparently even if you are off the pitch behind the byline you are still in play

We get Erling to knock Luke Shaw behind a goal so he can goal hang for 10 mins whilst he gets up.

No need, he can just goal hang on the penalty spot as long as a fast winger plays it backwards to him. Apparently.

 

[JGL07]

I’m guessing that makes me autistic as well.

Not artistic?

 

[Asa's left peg]

Christ. On sky now, two scousers on discussing whether a Liverpool player should have been sent off. No attempt at credibility.

It's one of those dormant rules they bring to life for City, like that '3rd person complaining to the ref' one where Ruben got booked last season... and no-one else did for the rest of the season doing that and worse.

sick of seeing that goal by rooney , against us, as good as it was , how many years ago dont see many city goals , obsessed with utd sky, gets worse by the week

 

[Spanishbob]

I can honestly say I don’t understand what constitutes a handball, a tackle, an offside, moaning to the referee by one or more players and why the rags are relevant. And I honestly believe PIGMOL don’t either. It’s now the get out clause of interpretation.

They show the Sergio and Vinny goals a hell of a lot

It's literally the last thing of note that the rags have done, well over 10 years ago, enjoy it!

Saw some interesting news the other day. The Barclay family, who owned the Telegraph till recently, had to surrender ownership to Lloyds Bank over a debt they couldn't meet. Lloyds are looking to sell it of course, and it seems the Barclay family are planning to buy it back, with financing from Abu Dhabi.

Seems like they may have adopted the mantra that if you can't beat them, join them.
