G STAR RAM

They played second half and we lost that half 1-0, and created nothing.

Well being under EFL restrictions would make it a reasonable assumption. There's usually a reason why a player is available on a free transfer, either young and looking to get a move up the ladder, or old and surplus to requirements. I think most of our signings fall into the latter category.

If its clearly offside yes. In a situation like this though I'd prefer to see the ball in the back of the net and the linesman given a decision to make.

As I said no details to give as its already been stated that no fees were paid in the summer. Obviously I'm not aware of the information regarding signing fees, agents fees and wages that you appear to have available....

JJ tried to be clever and lost the ball. Collins was rightly going mad at him.

No, apparently a transfer is only free if they play and are not paid 🤣

On that basis, there has never been a free transfer in the history of the game. All the times people must have been mistaken when they said it...

Yes, its been stated numerous times that no fees were paid for players in the summer. And when people refer to free signings, I think most sensible people know that agents fees and wages are not being taken into account.

When JJ first got the ball? Not for me

Given that he may actually be able to spend some fees as opposed to bargain basement freebies you mean?

I disagree.

Did think some would still find a way to blame Collins 😂

Same lack of desire that led to us being knocked out of the FA Cup by Crewe. Shame we didn't learn from that. To get knocked when pretty much playing our best team is a disgrace to be fair.

Thats not true, he tried to be clever when he could have squared it to Collins with an empty net infront of him...

No, I'm talking about famous people who would no doubt have the usual pile on.

Id say its just as likely that there are a large number of people with the same view as Barton but they are sensible and realise airing their view isn't worth the repercussions.

As I'm sure you're aware, both played at the top level of MENS football during the 80s. When their views became outdated and irrelevant to the modern game they were cast aside, but at least they were relevant and a point in time. I daresay the same would happen to Lineker had he not joined in with the box ticking.

I meant look whats before you on your screens... Agreed re Hansen and Lawrenson, both awful.

Well obviously its not something that can be proved, I think just applying common sense and looking at what's before you will give you the answer though.

The thing is, your daughter is not being paid to give, what should be, an expert opinion. As I said in another post, whether people like it or dislike it will be reflected in viewing numbers. Personally, I turned off from most televised football a long time ago because I don't like pundits full stop.

No, not at all but is the game going to be more attractive to her because there are female commentators and pundits?

They could of course televise more womens games and have them commentating on that? You know a game played at a level that they are familiar with? Whether the broadcasters are daft are not will be reflected in viewing numbers of course.

Nope, its called an opinion. Do you have any hard evidence that they are there on merit and not just for filling quotas? If not....actually I won't even bother going there 😂

Yes, its an assertion I'm more than happy to stand by, unless there is any evidence to the contrary?

And what about the people employing these pundits based on their gender rather than merit?
