I hear that the next Rag manager, whichever one stays long enough, is charged with getting 150 wins under his belt in less than 150 matches, just to get a record that will never be beaten.

Ralphie seems to be good at getting teams promoted, maybe that's the Glazers' long term plan...

Exactly, why is our transfer business all over social media? Is there no business confidentiality when our execs talk to agents? Who is it who’s writing about our negotiations on social media? Nothing needs to be public until it’s finalised.

Agents use the gossip to achieve their goal, in this case Fakeron to the rags.
We politely answered the agent's enquiry but never intended to sign him. The agent put it about that we were interested, knowing the rags would bite.

I would love someone to explain to me why it took 4 minutes for the decision to allow the goal to stand.

The two thinks that needed to be checked were firstly was DeGea fouled? The video evidence was crystal clear that it was Fred who trod on his foot. The second was did the ref blow his whistle before Smith-Rowe shot on goal, again crystal clear that he didn't.

Even if you said it took 2 minutes to check this then what was happening for the other 2 minutes? they were clearly looking for any sort of infringment that they could bring into play to chalk the goal off.

And then to not even review the pull by slabhead by VAR just shows how blatent the cheating is.

Seem to recall Ederson getting a boot in the face at Brighton, the ref noticing it and playing on. The cheating is appalling, VAR is now another tool for them to ensure the chosen teams get an advantage.

Promotion into the Universal Super Either End of the East Lancs League?

That check takes less than 30 seconds if that, but as others have pointed out is that they will always take longer over a decision if the obvious and correct answer is not the DESIRED outcome.

Ragnick to ushited in the interview
“You want me to take over til the end of the season?. Ok, but I want a ‘consultancy job for 2 years on exorbitant wages”


Rags…… “yeah, whatever you want. Just don’t get us relegated”

Pathetic.

Can’t wait to see how he gets Rapey Ron(allegedly), Penandes, Sir Fish Figer Kid MBE, etc to start pressing teams.

Let the cheating commence….. sorry I meant carry on by the officials.

He was definitely trying to con the referee. I am sick of players feigning injury to stop the play. It has become as bad as diving. Referees need to get a grip.

I agree, the Arsenal left back went down easy and nearly cost them a goal soon after.

Good to see some refs ignoring it, thought the PSG ref was brilliant, you could see him talking to their divers at times semi taking the piss.

Some of our players do it and it annoys me a lot.
