I think it probably brushed his upper arm, but it's still ridiculous that there's different rules for attackers and defenders!

No big deal I guess, as it didn't affect the final result, but it could have!

Indeed that was Rashford's take on it...

Not least as West Ham had two goals allowed despite Fulham having very similar complaints about ball-to-hand use in the build-up.

I knew we were going to need a transition to having VAR used but fuck me how long do they need to tighten this up? And do we need extensive rule re-writes every year to try and get closer to making it work?

I have supported Wrexham for 35 years and this is the first title we have won. Papa Johns trophy here we come.

I see VAR was up to VAR things again yesterday in the Champions League. How many more rule tweaks does it need to maybe work?

Its never going to work.

Ruined poor Harvey Elliots first CL goal for Liverpool last night. Perfectly good goal. Left standing there looking at the screen like a twat after his celebration waiting to see if it would be given.

You could argue it gave him the goal, it was ruled out until VAR reviewed it but obviously the counter argument is the officials are more likely to rule something out because they know they have VAR to back them up.

Problem is that VAR isn't foolproof, VAR officials very often get things wrong, badly wrong.

sallah's 6 minute hatrick was unexpected.

glad rangers got spanked, as it stops the inevitable comments saying they'd do alright in the prem.

Eventually they probably would, they have the crowd and the stadium but don't have the funds. A few years down the line they'd do well. The problem is that by that time they'd be in the Championship at best and would be as far off Premier League money as they are now. It would take many years for them to be pushing top 4.

Indeed. Either way we'll see the same shit 4 or 5 times this weekend. Perfectly good goal, kinda celebrate, hang on VAR check, actually yeah it's a goal, kick off immediately.

The Premier League has been asked to confirm whether it has investigated the billionaire owner of Manchester City Football Club under its “fit and proper” owners’ test, over allegations of helping Russian oligarchs avoid western sanctions after the invasion of Ukraine.

the despot is possibly in trouble.

My boys? you do love your fantasies: like city aren't cheats or owned by a despot?

How have they cheated?

Been through this before. You just spout unsubstantiated bullshit.

Hopefully we give your boys a good hiding on Sunday.

I don't agree with you regarding ffp. You know my views on that. There is no evidence of cheating. We are the most scrutinised club in the whole of football and there is no evidence of any misdemeanours. Or are you going back over 10 years, for the things we were punished for?

 

If UAE is supporting Russia, I will boycott City and the owners should be sanctioned.

As a Shots fan, I can say we also have a decidedly dodgy chairman. It runs deep in the football pyramid…

I really hope I am wrong (as I like Aldershot) but can't see you staying up this season. Struggling to think of 4 teams I can see finishing below you.

I think we are going down. We’re very poor. Rumour is our chairman wants to drive the club into the ground and sell the land of our stadium for housing.

there's a covenant on aldershot's ground which means it can't be sold off. the council put that in place when they sold the club the ground: the ground is still officially a public park, can walk a dog on it up to ten minutes before kick-off (someone tested that part).

Covenants mean the square route of fuck all. There was a covenant on the land where FC United built their ground.

      sub yes I could see but I don't think they get 1hr 15, a headliner starting at 18:15 though is unlikely. Even the recent co-headlines that have had like 1hr 15 then a 1hr 30 after were on 8pm or just before, you are trailing behind more than 1.5 hours then. In that scenario some 3rd down bands are only starting at 18:15 and some haven't lol. I agree they won't not book them due to this but it won't be 6 headliners. It would be 5 headliners and you wouldn't want to see 5 headliners booked but Biffy were to not be thouhgt of as an option for one. Wolf Alice on the other hand could sub no bother and you'd think nothing of it. I'm not so sure Biffy would get headline though after the festival choice in Kendal this year.

      Definitely. UKIP also used Merkel welcoming 1 million Afgans to Europe in 2015 during the brexit vote.   Politicians in other countries within the EU know the are going to lose voters to parties to the right of them over stuff like this and they've no control over it.

      I think it will very much vary on who there is to book who they know will sell out a day.    They’ve co-headline and full headline stuff in future, there no reason at all they won’t do it again, even if it means cutting someone’s set by 15 mins or having a band less in a big bands day…   They’re not going to not book Foo fighters and instead get the equivalent of Florence and C&S just to not have a band do a big set…   …unless of course they think it will make them more money…

      Maybe some right wing leaders like Meloni are just playing to their base, like Reform have been here talking about them ending up at Calais.

      Citizenship via investment programs basically work by saying if you invest this much in our economy (say buy a property worth x) then we will either grant you citizenship or residency with a route to it. The EU has rules on how low countries can set the bar. Montenegro was one of the easier ones to get and they've had to tighten it up.
