    the PFA has no dynamic, authoritative leadership now; nor the managers’ association), significantly help. They won’t.

    Fifpro have threatened FIFA with court action if they go ahead and bring in the World Club Championship, This will be 32 World Clubs to be played in July, FIFA already have extended the World Cup to 48 Countries, Football is now being saturated to the extent players are running out of "Gas"

    Newcastle play their last game on Sunday then straight on a plane flying to Australia for more games, The £/$/€ is all conquering in a sport that will have reached it's limit of available time to play these games.

    The World football authorities will be eating themselves to the bone if they refuse to take a step back.

    But scrap all the human decision calls.

    Doesn’t that just say more about the standard of officiating?

    It gives the official a get out of jail free card, Wrong call...VAR takes over, The Stockley Park operator is with his mate and they don't get the abuse the official would.

    Ref says VAR taken over and I've been "over ruled" very rarely do refs overturn VAR, The standard of officials has got worse since VAR came to the fore...imo.

    Goaline Tech I'm for...everything else...leave it to the man/woman in the middle 👍

    Last night Man Utd Vs Newcastle Anthony Gordon has his heel scraped in the penalty area...no pen and no VAR, Sky showed a close up of his sock...a gaping hole and stud marks on his Achilles...these incidents have been given by VAR but with it being Old Trafford...they bottled it 🙄

    This seems to have happened since you had the new box saying bid 50/6/70 now as you've been outbid on the other end..  I'm not sure if they also tell people watching an item that there is another watcher by email.  They were at one point, so I stopped the watching.

    I don't profess to be ITK when buying/bidding on eBay Gee, But I got caught on a sticky wicket and was stumped 😉, I looked on an eBay forum and there's a good few who have come up against some "unfair practices" according to some.

    My Daughter who is/was a prolific eBayer told me there is a tool out there that people use who can circumvent the auction process 🤷‍♂️, All's good now as I got the pair for less than I bid on Monday 😉

    Apparently Wolves are bringing a proposal to scrap VAR.

    Be interesting to see if Forest vote for it.

    I'd 100% bin VAR, but I'm resigned to never being rid of it and only hoping for it to become less bad.

    I'd scrap it, Let Refs earn their corn, Disallowing a goal for a foul committed 1 minute earlier, Penalties given at the whim of VAR by sending the Ref to the screen who very rarely turned them down, A toenail offside, Refs were told to clamp down on shirt pulling at corners only for it to get worse as the season progressed.

    In Sweden the fans have rejected VAR 

    "Sweden has become the first country to refuse to use Video Assistant Referees (VAR) following widespread opposition from clubs and fans. The climbdown reflects Swedish clubs being at least 51 percent owned by fans, a large proportion of whom have been vehemently opposed to the technology"

    So you are saying the best teams in the land play out from the back?   Yes thank God we don't do that. 

    I watched Crawley absolutely destroy MK Dons the other night by passing out from the back, MK didn't have the where with all to combat this, Playing this possession game in league 2 goes against all the morals of physical football 😉

    I hope to see this again at Wembley when playing on a bigger pitch against Crewe, If all players are signed onto this tactic the opposition had better employ Blitzkrieg 😬

    Rate the last film you saw partie deux

    Netflix...where the Crawdads sing, About an abusive Father who beats his wife and kids while living in the marshes of South Carolina, When one by one Mum and kids leave, Leaving only 1 Daughter left with the Dad...Kya.

    Not my cup o tea...but kept watching, Kya must have been around 10 when Dad decides to leave leaving Kya alone, The story then revolves around her and men and social services and a murder.

    A little strange but I thought it got better as the film moved along...7-10

    This is not a scam, I repeat this is not a scam, Just that I believe eBay either has a glitch in some cases or there's some shenanigans going off.

    Last night I waited for the last 60 seconds and watched the clock go down, 7 seconds I bid then confirm bid, Then the bid ended, In the top green line it confirmed I was the highest bidder...but increase my bid, Why would I increase my bid if I was the highest bidder I thought 🤔, Just waiting for..."you won this item"...nope, I was out bid as I had a message from eBay to confirm I was out bid.

    I did a little investigating and this has happened to other bidders, Some who have been buying on eBay for 15/20 years where they thought they'd won only to find out that after their bid was ended...eBay had extended the bidding by 6-7 seconds 🙄

    What's the point of an auction site if bidding has ended but for some reason others can still bid, I'm aware of "shillers" and "snipers" but is this a case of eBay pulling a fast one by getting more loot from the seller?

    The item is on sale on Amazon for £316, This was sold on eBay for £72...new.

    FFS lads -it's just a song contest

    It used to be ☺️

    Just for the record...I didn't watch but can't help reading the news about it...so here's my 10 bobs worth.

    The UK mostly this last decade or so were voted to finish bottom...why...because those who voted or didn't vote used the vote as a stick to beat us with...imo 🙄

    Now it's a vehicle for those who have an agenda against anything that will get in the media, The EU are now complaining as to why the EU flag wasn't used...so I read.

    They come out like a Puppet on a string with a boom bang a bang so save your kisses for me after making your mind up 😁

    Probably the shortest chant in football history...fcuk off to Scot Gemmill when he went to take a corner at the "C" stand, circa 100 males ☺️ all stood up in unison...he never did take that corner 😁

    it was on Saint Georges day and 0-0

    When the Heanor lads used to arrive on the Ossie end and shout “Eanor , Eanor” and the Popside would respond with “Sharples ,Sharples”  

    You have to be over a certain age to get that 

     

     

    I met Ena Sharples many years ago, I took her up the back passage in the snug 😁
