  1. 2-2 Full-time. Ho-hum. Every time this team starts to look like a top six side, they then follow it up with a poor result.
  2. Well, still time to turn it around, I suppose. Quite why we're performing like that following the Coventry win, I do not know.
  3. Watching the Canaries in the Canaries? That's a bit on the nose.
  4. I'm more concerned that your phone battery is so low at 10am.
  5. We didn't have any money. Unless we sold someone, we were never going to get any serious additions.
  6. It would be no different to how VAR currently operates. Except it would limit its involvement considerably. That is, when the referee blows his whistle, VAR can stop the game while it reviews a decision. Or, if the offence takes plsce during play, VAR stops play at the next break in play to review a suspected offence. For example, goals are already ruled out if there is an offence in the build-up. By reducing it to three challenges per manager, means the referee will actually have more authority. As not every decision gets reviewed. Instead, only big calls like obviousoy incorrect penalty decisions, incorrect offsides leading to goals or dangerous tackles would end up being challenged. Managers won't then challenge these stupid 1mm offside decisions, because they're not obvious. Plus, making the decision process transparent, as they do in cricket, allows viewers to understand how the decision has been made.
  7. Change VAR to a Decision Review System, like in cricket. Where the head coach can challenge any decision. And VAR acts like the third umpire, making the decision in real time, with the review audio & video available for TV viewers. Each head coach gets only three challenges per match. You lose a challenge if you're wrong. Keep it if you're right. The Video Assistance Referee makes the review, not the referee. Acting like the third umpire in cricket, as mentioned above. This way, clear and obvious errors get challenged. Grey area decisions are let go. And we can all get on with our lives.
  8. Some people find my snaggletooth quite fetching, actually.
  9. Fantastic save at 0-1 to keep us in the game. Then another good'un with the score at 1-1.
  10. It was weird though. Sara was largely ineffective behind the striker. But within minutes of switching to the deeper midfield role, he made a run to the byline and put in the cross that led to the equaliser.
  11. Slightly amusing that Soccerbot is now being used as a photo studio.
  12. Coventry have lost only once in their last 16 matches. That run includes a win over Leicester and a draw against Leeds. I think we'll do well to scrape a draw. 1-1.
  13. I, too, think it's an improvement. The reality is that clubs change their old badges so the football club then owns the intellectual property rights to the new badge. Fans are then forced to go to the official club shop to buy anything with the club's new badge on it. And prevents market traders from selling knock-off scarfs and flags etc with the new badge on it. Because they'll get sued.
  14. Theresa May was Prime Minister when this film was released. That's how long ago it was.
