lake district canary 4,830 Posted April 8, 2023 Tottenham v Brighton. Two totally clear penalties not given for Brighton, despite VAR. Onfield officials/VAR officials between them c*cked up on the two disallowed goals too. The use of VAR continues to be useless. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It made me laugh that they still think they are and tried to get in on the breakaway super League. They're just a top flight Ipswich with a nicer ground. Won a few things years ago.

The Raptor 1,573 Posted April 9, 2023 What var seems to do is the opposite of what it's supposed to. The idea is great but it's the way it's used. It should be for seeing an obvious error by the ref and correcting it. Instead the idea seems to be. 'what decision do we want?' and coming to that decision. Quite often when the referee was right in the first place. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim Smith 2,610 Posted April 9, 2023 No surprise to see the ref was Stuart Attwell after the way he almost single handed my turned around Leeds season and screwed us over in consecutive weeks last season. I still believe we would have won at Elland Road had he and the VAR official done their job properly and things could have been very different had Leeds lost to us and then at Everton the following week and we picked up a win at a time we were starting to improve. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Real Buh 3,765 Posted April 9, 2023 Referees are being payed off and have been for decades you’re telling me the amount of money in the game, in that league, and they aren’t on the take? They just do what they do out of some sense of “honour” for the beauty of the game? Nope, corruption. Definitely. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If Harry Redknapps dog can have a bank account, isnt it fair that Toby can win a Tractor? Ireland is a great place to live ... if you take of the union jack specs. Nationalism is the last refuge of a Scoundrel. PS I Dont believe Toby has driven the tractor yet. So if you ask nicely , he may let you have a go next time you're over here on ' business'.

Give them all fair warning before next season, adopt rugby protocols....only capt to speak to ref, sin bins etc. Then stick to the changes and apply them in ALL cases. It'd soon be a beautiful game again, imagine , no diving, no kane pretending he's unconscious, no Roy Keane spittling in the refs face in a rage. My Grandson always likes to remind me that footy is 90 mis of pretending to be hurt while Rugby is 80 mins of pretending not to be hurt. Sums it up for me. Yet i still prefer footy , imagine how much I'd enjoy it if the games were actually sporting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nationalism is the last refuge of a Scoundrel. I mean everyone might not be aware of this but I had a talk with a Girl from Cork and she informed me of the local Cork delicacy. The Tayto Sandwich Now, in the UK we are very used to making, say, a ham and cheese sandwich and adding some crisps. It’s a timeless classic. In Ireland, oh boy… So they go down to the local Lidl. Which, by the way, is the best supermarket you are going to get in county Cork. Once you are there you can dodge the locals fighting over the yellow ticket items and find yourself the crappest white loaf of bread you can find. I was told specifically the bread needs to be super, super crap. This was not hard to find. You then get yourself some Tayto Crisps. For those not aware Tayto is an Irish brand of potato crisps and it has a comedy mascot who I’m pretty sure was at one point elected as the head of Sinn Fein. You then just butter the bread and ram as many crisps as you can between two slices of bread, no filling, just crisps (I’m being serious) you then squeeze the whole thing down as hard as you can and eat it like a deformed pancake. And they genuinely eat this over there all the time, you know, in West Cork, this “paradise” In some ways they never recovered from the potato famine, they just became potatoes themselves Heres a link on how you can recreate the Tayto sandwich at home https://meanwhileinireland.com/how-to-make-the-perfect-crisp-sandwich-dos-and-donts/ Edited April 9, 2023 by The Real Buh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You carry on with your slightly strange views , me , ill be eating whatever is seasonal and fresh. Maybe popping down to the local recently 2 Michelin starred restaurant. You be you mate, just dont expect us to lower ourselves. 😉 PM me in advance next time you're over and itll save you the indignity of looking so ' English'.
