But surely he'd have won it once, right? If he was as good as you remember?

For conspiracy theory purposes he'd appear to be on 47 appearances in all Comps according to Wikipedia.

It's difficult to define clear and obvious errors, as everyone will have their own opinion on what is clear and obvious. I think VAR is an all or nothing kind of thing - either it is used to implement the laws of the game down to the most minute detail, or it just isn't used at all. Some kind of vague middle ground is just asking for trouble and discontent. On balance I'd probably be rid of it as I think judging everything on the smallest of details goes against the spirit of the game. Football shouldn't be broken down with mathematical precision, as imo that ruins the spectacle and what makes it such a compelling sport to follow. Some of the greatest moments of lore in the game come from refereeing mistakes, good and bad. It's part of what fuels discussions and debates. Hawkeye is enough for me. If they could implement something else for blatant offsides as well, then I'd be fine with just having those as technological assistance.

Didn't we have that with Mulgrew and him being stuck on 99 appearances for ages? He made his 100th in the end and as I recall looked absolutely shot at, which might have been why!

No, VAR is hardware and mechanics showing the physical facts. The people using VAR are interpreting the results, using the laws of the game.

Always trying to integrate is Steve…

The biggest loss here, is McLaren never accidentally slipping into a fake Jamaican accent, like he did with the Dutch one, once….

Yeah, as long as you don't physically attack them, just because you are losing the 5-aside in training. Ask Cole and Yorke!

That’s a truly horrible kit and whilst club staff continue to read this forum it’s worth hiding before they get any more stupid ideas.

Who is good from the staff!?!?

Well yeah it all adds to his appeal and value. Might just have a knock or niggle that won't clear up properly but he doesn't want to go under the knife before January. Strange how no real details have emerged about his alleged injury seeing as normally information comes out pretty quickly.

Would they have made him captain if an issue like this was on the horizon? Actually, given who ‘they’ are I’ll answer my own question with a yes.

Fair point

There's no tick box for Terry Gennoe?!

Depends who we are losing to. A draw is a better result than a loss against those around us.

Curved Air - Back Street Luv

Isn’t that, to a point, the same thing?

Aye it's quite likely something contractual as i couldn't see him ducking out so long, unless he has a concrete move lined up but no football or proper training will just hider him personally in the long run.

I don't think the problem is with VAR, but with the people using it.

Who played for one of the biggest/best clubs in the world, Played for Sir Alex Ferguson and won everything. Its quite embarrassing you keep this utter nonsense going.

Medical team being so poor? Who is poor from the staff?

Or the medical team has made a wrong diagnosis

The 'clear and obvious' aspect of VAR is what leaves much ambiguity and as you allude to causes much debate. When VAR was introduced with the clear and obvious instruction I thought after a while they would drop that and allow the officials a certain amount of latitude through dialogue. VAR has become stagnant and should have moved on and learned from errors.
