    FA Cup 2023/24

    Back in the day they changed the rule so that level (to the human eye) was onside. VAR has changed that rule to a coin flip. That’s the problem. Don’t know what the answer is but it likely involves a large bin and a box of matches.

    FA Cup 2023/24

    More wounds in the FA Cup’s death by a thousand cuts. For me, the real damage was done a while back when they limited the number of allowed replays. Yes, yes, pragmatism, fixture congestion. I get it. I hear you. But up until then it was the only competition where to win it, you had to...

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    Would certainly address a few issues. Potential for three actual defenders in the vague vicinity when teams counter attack. Dragusin would assumedly help massively on defensive set pieces, and maybe attacking - he does like a header. Shoring up the vast acreage in central midfield. Porro...

    Match Threads Newcastle vs Spurs

    Maddison getting irritated in every match at the mo. Can see why. Fouled all the time with no consequences.

    Sin-bin trial plan recommended for professional games

    I think that in general they do give yellows for tactical, attack breaking take-one-for-the-team fouls. A good example would be Donley’s recent pull-back in the closing minutes against Brentford. No attempt to play the ball, the intent was crystal clear and everyone watching knew exactly what it...

    Sin-bin trial plan recommended for professional games

    Having a little swim against the tide here: but I think it is a reasonable idea to trial at least. Tactical fouls to stop counter-attacks happen every single game and are blatant anti-football. Every coach will tell their players to do it and take the yellow. Why? Because the gain so clearly...

    Premier League 2023/2024

    Perhaps the ones with a (reasonably obvious) business plan, and the money and recruitment packages to actually recruit and keep elite staff and talent? Maybe bang for the buck, Crewe Alexandra have the best academy. Just not so many bucks?
