There’s no press conference this game cuz of the delays we had on the flight from Luton; there was a conference by call which I think there’s a transcript on football.london though.
I just saw Tierney has done his hammy and might be out for the rest of the year. 🤦🏻♂️
Fuck me lol. Wild speculation incoming: maybe his lack of game time was a fitness thing all along?
yea… i’m not even surprised
Watford have extended the contract of a manager
While in 20th in the Championship
Holy shit they’re learning
Hoo boy that PGMOL audio is very revealing about how bad the process is. And yeah that is actually such incompetence.
Firstly: VAR should really be ignoring the rule about pulling the game back after play restarts especially when they literally said some boss guy at PGMOL said delay. Common sense needs to be applied, not just strict adherence to the rules as written.
Secondly, and more importantly, the decision should be said independent of what the on field decision is. That would’ve stopped this mistake. Instead of check complete, say “goal” or “no goal”.
And lastly, there needs to be a proper protocol for what you do what you fuck up like this. Pulling it back, yes, but also some rules — how long before? What if there’s been a goal before you could pull it back? Cuz if spurs somehow scored a goal off that free kick before it got called back, which seems plausible given the confusion in the VAR room, how do you manage that?
Darren England needs to be sacked.
I was truly shocked listening to it. Nothing that was said was clear, they were given the opportunity to rectify yet they chose to let play carry on. The operator literally told them two or three times, the call was offside are you happy with that decision. Fucking donkeys were caught napping on the job. What do you mean you can’t do anything? You’re given the go ahead to delay, call down to the pitch to delay. Stephen Warnock made a good point, if you’ve caught it…stop the match, notify both sets of managers and captains that this is what happened and they’ll correct it, send a message out on social media and the stadium screens to explain it to everyone else. It’s just common sense, it’s not difficult.
VAR really should be a separate set of individuals not part of PGMOL, because if that’s what’s been happening… They’re 100% just having mistakes slide like this.
Just seen Mudryk’s goal. Fuck where was this fulham team when we went against them? Defending the cross like shit.
I knew Lautaro Martinez scored a poker this weekend; only just learnt that he did it off the bench though. What the fuck??
I’m just tired. Give me a win on Friday, and give it now. And a callup for Eddie on Thursday. That’s all I want.
Didn’t expect Ramsdale would be so thoroughly replaced. Raya starts tonight.
Man’s not even worse imo. Idk what’s going on, but it doesn’t sit right with me.
Why are our u19s and u18s so bad man… I know MLS and Nwaneri are out and a bunch of the best talents are playing above their age group but cmon…
Did the theme on lemmy.world change to dark mode by default for people who aren’t logged in? Makes it really hard to read for people with astigmatism.
I’m thinking is Ramsdale nursing a minor injury which we don’t know about?
