Media discussion - 2024/25

[Colin Bells Boots]

The referee just needs to get them off the pitch for 30 seconds even if they are treated by fellow players and not off-field physios. Would soon stop.

Exactly this, The ref needs to take charge of the situation and also book those players who are clearly simulating injury in order to slow the game down.

Refs have rightly booked Savinho for simulation in order to try and gain penalties/fouls , but feigning injury is also worthy of bookings.

In our recent game it was Martinelli , I think, who was fiening injury but got up as soon as the ref played on. Blatant cheating - nothing done.

Broadcasters in talks to introduce Mid Game interviews with players from next season? Wtf. They really tryna ruin the game

Player interviews are boring at the best of times. Empty platitudes and clichés galore.
What makes the broadcasters think this will be interesting tv?
Now, if an ear-piece got passed around each player during the game, so they could be interviewed while actually playing, that would be swell!

"Harry, how did you manage to hit that penalty so high into the stand?"

Harsh......

Imo, Pep was uncharacteristically indiscreet in outing KP.

Should be kept in the locker room.

Yet another unattractive trait of US sport they're trying to bring in - fuck off players need to be in the changing room getting whatever updates a coach can provide
