@CFCMikes@youneshhamou_ but ur right generally this is whats happening.If they keep posting a news without a for e.g ITB or a HWG, and that transfer does happen, they'll take credit that see we told u, but when it doesn't happen, they'll just resort to see, we didn't say HWG or ITB, so it wasn't confrmd
@CFCMikes@youneshhamou_ But again, Younes isn't a full time journalist i guess with deeeep contacts or anything, so I won't hold him to that level of accountability as if we hold Ornstein or Fabrizio etc at.
Seeing Younes news is a good change though 😀
@CFCMikes@youneshhamou_ Agreed! This is happenin all around these days. So they can never be wrong. Perfect cover up ready. If they're right "See, i told you so" and if they're wrong, "i never said this, and things can always change anytime" lol
Its as if they're is never a wrong for them
@stevenChilwell The perfect cover up "Things can change anytime" 😀
If you get the news right, See i told you so, and when you get it wrong, "Things can change anytime, player or club changed his mind" lol
So apprently, there isn't any wrong outcome either way.
🚨 BREAKING: PGMOL confirm a new goalkeeper injury trial aimed at avoiding intentional delays. Under some circumstances, if the game is stopped due to a keeper injury, an outfield player must now leave the pitch immediately and stay off for a least one minute.
Exceptions include if a keeper is fouled and immediately needs treatment, collisions, and if a keeper is bleeding.
🗣️ “English football has received approval from the International Football Association Board (IFAB) to introduce a new goalkeeper injury trial for the 2026/27 season as part of its ongoing commitment to maintaining the pace and flow of matches.
“The trial, championed collectively by Pro Ref, The FA, Premier League, EFL, WSL Football and the National League, will be implemented across the men's and women's professional game in England and is designed to address occasions where goalkeeper injuries have been used to disrupt momentum, slow the game down or create opportunities for tactical instruction.
“As part of the trial, if the game is stopped for a goalkeeper injury, the manager / head coach will be required to nominate an outfield player to leave the pitch immediately. The nominated player is required to remain off the field for a minimum of one minute after the restart of play. The aim is to ensure genuine injuries continue to receive appropriate medical attention while removing any potential sporting advantage associated with stoppages.
“The trial will operate with a number of exceptions, including where a free kick is awarded for a foul on the goalkeeper and they immediately require treatment, the goalkeeper and an outfield player have collided and need attention, or the goalkeeper is bleeding.
“English football will continue to monitor the trial throughout the season, alongside IFAB and other stakeholders, to assess its effectiveness in supporting game flow while maintaining the highest standards of player welfare.
“This builds on a series of measures introduced across the professional game to increase ball-in-play time and reduce unnecessary delays, including the goalkeeper eight-second rule which was successfully implemented last season.
“Alongside this and from the 2026/27 season, a five-second countdown will also be utilised as a time-management tool for match officials where players are deemed to unfairly delay the taking of a throw-in or goal kick.
“Furthermore, a 10-second time limit for players leaving the pitch when substituted will be in operation across the professional game from the first whistle of the forthcoming campaign in the Carabao Cup on Saturday 1st August.”

❗️BBC SPORT in June:
Villa scored more goals from set-pieces than any other side in Europe's top five leagues in 2023-24.
The following season, only 4 clubs in the T5 divisions bettered their tally. In 25/26 Villa were level with Arsenal for the most set-piece goals. 💥
To answer the questions: The moment the ball makes contact with an outside object (in this case the camera cable) play becomes dead and should be restarted with a dropped ball.
VAR could have intervened as it was in the immediate attacking phase of play that directly led to England's goal.
FIFA, meanwhile, say they’ve "checked the data - no peak on the graph from the connected ball heartbeat sensor" 🙃
@ChelsTransfer Clubs putting out entire days of videos on youtube for free, and these lot want us to pay to watch interviews. Blue Co is the new low. These lot know exactly what to do to make the fanbase even more disconnected with the club. Good going fam!!!
@youneshhamou_ Every other club is putting out entire day videos of signings from plane to medical and then signing on youtube for free, and then come these stupid arse cfc owners, asking fans to pay for watching interviews 🤦
How much lower can they go
🚨 Peter Drury Breaks Silence: Questionable Calls, Cancelled Goals & FIFA Favouritism – Has Football Become a Scripted Show?
🗣Peter Drury
“After years spent analyzing football matches and commentating on the game at the highest level, I can honestly say that what we witnessed today between Argentina and Egypt was unlike anything I’ve seen in my entire career.
How that was awarded as a penalty remains a complete mystery. The contact, if any, looked minimal at best, yet the decision stood. It’s becoming harder and harder to watch the sport without feeling that the beautiful game is slowly turning into something of a joke for millions of fans around the world. The officiating has been strangely “clean” almost suspiciously so yet it leaves serious questions about consistency and impartiality.
Then there was Egypt’s goal, ruled out for reasons that still aren’t entirely clear. Why was it disallowed? In the same match, when Argentina scored their decisive goal, there appeared to be a clear foul in the build-up that neither the referee nor VAR chose to review properly. These are the moments that make supporters feel the outcome is no longer decided purely on the pitch.
There’s a growing narrative out there and it’s hard to ignore that Lionel Messi is being protected as FIFA’s golden boy. With Cristiano Ronaldo no longer part of the international scene, some believe the powers that be are determined to keep Messi’s story alive for as long as possible because his presence still drives massive global interest and viewing figures. Whether that’s true or not, the pattern of decisions in key moments only fuels that conversation.
passion, and the unpredictable nature of who wins on any given day. But when decisions repeatedly go one way, when valid goals are chalked off and questionable ones are given, and when VAR seems to miss obvious incidents, it starts to feel like something else is at play. The game deserves better. Fans deserve transparency, consistency, and the simple belief that the result is earned not influenced.
These are the moments that test our love for the sport. And right now, that love is being stretched thin.“
🚨 Thierry Henry on Argentina knocking Egypt out of the FIFA World Cup:
🗣️ “This one feels like outright daylight theft on the pitch.
I’m not questioning Argentina’s talent they’re stacked with elite players but they didn’t merit the victory tonight.
Egypt fought tooth and nail to establish that two-goal cushion. They showed real grit in defense, flair going forward, and fully deserved every bit of their advantage.
The game shifted because of the officiating, in my view. That early penalty for Argentina already looked questionable, and from then on, it seemed like every big call went against Egypt.
Those moments completely altered the flow and handed Argentina the lifeline they needed.
Egypt will be devastated leaving this competition. They came so close to pulling off what would have been one of their finest triumphs.
Football can be won through moments of genius or through disputed calls and right now, the refereeing decisions will be talked about just as much as the action on the field.”

🚨🇦🇷🇪🇬 Rio Ferdinand: “Football Needs Fairness, Not Different Rules For Different Teams”
🗣️ “I’ve sat here and watched football for many years, both as a player and as a pundit, and what frustrates supporters the most is inconsistency.
When Argentina go down under a challenge, the whistle seems to come immediately. The officials are quick to spot the foul, quick to stop play and quick to protect them. But when Egypt are on the receiving end of similar incidents, suddenly the game is allowed to continue and everyone is told to move on.
That’s the issue people have tonight. Not the result itself, but the lack of consistency in the decision-making.
Then you look at the build-up to Enzo Fernández’s winning goal. Egypt were screaming for a foul, their players were surrounding the referee, and millions watching expected VAR to at least take a proper look at it. Instead, it felt like everyone in the VAR room had gone to sleep.
What exactly is VAR there for if not to review the biggest moments in the biggest matches?
If that incident happened against Argentina at the other end of the pitch, do you honestly believe it wouldn’t have been checked? I find that very difficult to believe. We’ve seen much softer incidents reviewed throughout this tournament.
That’s where the frustration comes from. Fans just want the same standard applied to every team.
And let’s talk about the disciplinary side of the game. Argentina seem to get away with an awful lot. There are challenges that would normally bring yellow cards, yet the referee appears reluctant to reach for his pocket. It’s almost as if officials are afraid of making decisions that might upset Argentina.
When you look at some of Argentina’s matches in this tournament, there have been several moments where opponents felt hard done by. One incident can be debated, two incidents can be debated, but eventually people start noticing a pattern.
Football cannot afford that perception. The integrity of the game depends on supporters believing that every nation is treated equally.
Whether you’re Argentina, Egypt, Brazil, France or anyone else, the laws of the game should not change depending on the badge on your shirt.
The officials tonight had a responsibility to be fair, balanced and brave. Instead, they have left millions of people questioning why some decisions are given so easily for one side while similar incidents involving the other side are ignored.
Football deserves better than that. The players deserve better than that. And the fans certainly deserve better than that.”
