Premier League Games 30/31 March '24

You know, this makes me want to write a script for an Exploding Heads style video with a depiction of what VAR would have looked like if implemented in the 1970s.

Think there is some comedy gold in that, with VAR notifying the referee via a lad standing pitch side, radio in one hand, bullhorn in the other, to go to a tiny 24 colour CRT screen in a dark tent and them communicating with each other via rotary phone, before running out back on the pitch and making a big circle with his index finger in the air to indicate VAR review, before reversing his decision and getting the shite kicked out of him by the team affected.

Who needs var? We had that loony old duffer with a large transistor radio glued to his ear. The only problem was the daft **** got everything wrong.

I understand that but how is them not giving it back going to speed it up? It means more balls dotted around on those cones I suppose.

It won't is the answer, it's a load of shite. Typical referees solving problems that aren't problems instead of fixing the obvious gaping issues. If timekeeping was the issue they make it out to be then they would use an actual fucking clock instead of just making up added time.

Does it regulate the amount of time the ball spends out of play, regardless of scoreline? Probably a bit. Does anybody care? Absolutely not.

United lucky to have nil here. An under strength Brentford should be about four up. Tempted to lump on United at 9/5, as it almost feels inevitable they’ll fluke a victory here.

It's almost perfect. They get outplayed by every team they play but have a knack of taking points off of the scousers.

Hopefully they do so in the league game and then the Arsenal one.

The rags have been absolute shite, but you know they will score ?

 

[wolviedinho]

How’s the rags getting on? Still shit but not getting beat?

 

[inchy14]

Never gets beaten....

Don’t need to beat a player if he’s always miles out of position, just pass the ball into where he should be. He’s shit mate.

Tin hat time


I'd have Wan Bissaka at City.

The ultimate one dimensional footballer

Nailed on 0-1 win for United, with one shot on target and 32% possession.

The strange thing is you could say that about the majority of utd games it’s truly baffling how they stumble through games
