@LeGrove I defer to your knowledge of the deal. Who's it say what the club-to-club contract really is? We all get our info from the press/Twitter/Instagram so it's tainted by those lens. £5m or so ends up being loose change in modern day football anyway. UTV
@LeGrove I'm not sufficiently knowledgeable about all the financial aspects of MR's transfer but, it's been largely unreported that, the 20% sell on clause to Boro was capped at £15M and very few commentators have acknowledged this. UTV
Martinelli trying to gain about 2 inches from a corner, ball on, not in, the quadrant then using the wanky 'overhang' rule has just done for me. A professional footballer needs to move the ball 2 inches closer to goal? Really? Is this what modern football has come to? It's shite
@ksorbs An eagle is two under par for the hole. So a double eagle is four under par surely? Why the fuck do Americans just reinvent an ancient game? An albatross is 3 under par on an individual hole so a 2 on a par 5 exactly like you've just witnessed. Not hard is it?
Pundits like Lineker & Shearer advocated for VAR for years. Careful what you wish for. That decision today was obscene. Utterly destroying football as a game. It's unbelievable that the 'clear & obvious' rule simply isn't implemented as they forensically try to chalk off a goal.
@dwright75 And he's an ex- professional footballer who doesn't know what an 'instep' is. Imagine Tiger Woods describing the 14 items in his caddie's bag as 'sticks'. That's how incompetent he is. And no one from Sky has had a word in years which is even more worrying.
FFS, this is getting ridiculous. I really like Lee Hendrie as a pundit but he's another ex-pro who does not know what an instep is. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, if Tiger Woods referred to the 14 things in his caddie's bag as 'sticks' he'd be laughed out of town.UTV
Good win today but it felt like hard work considering Wolves' form to date. They actually had the better chances and we needed a worldie again to get the 3 points. The real question is who was the mentalist in the lower Holte toilets brushing his teeth pre-match? WTF! UTV
@Ladbrokes Goal kicks being taken from the side of the pitch where the ball left the field. You know, like it used to be! Current rule just encourages time wasting as the goalie invariably moves the ball all the way across the six yard box.
Just watched a repeat of Top Gear on BBC2 from 2013. Forgotten what a fantastic programme it was, that trio of presenters will never be matched. Clarkson is, and was, a genius backed up superbly by Richard Hammond and James May. Really great TV. Seems distant now. UTV
Watching TOTP from July 1981. FFS that's 44 years ago. Ghost Town by the Specials was Nr 1, what an iconic tune. Do you remember when no one gave a shit about people's colour or politics? We were just into music, footy, having a crafty drink and ciggie. No SM, just living life!
England v Italy in the women's Euros. White v Blue surely? Why are both teams wearing change colours when there's no clash? Some wanky contractual obligation to wear the kit X amount of times in a 2 yr lifespan? If two titans of football go head-to-head use national colours FFS
@avfcjally@wrightyavfc This comp is Infantino's wet dream. Money, and more money, over any sort of sporting integrity, any acknowledgement of footballing history, the Americaniasian of the greatest game ever for personal gain and ego advancement. Being president of FIFA is an office for frauds it seems
