Maybe, but fact-based pile-on's are so last year...

I read that one of the reasons it had hit us hard was our obesity levels. Sometimes health is about personal responsibility and maybe this might help people change their approach to their own lifestyle.

I might be wrong but i thought nothing like that had been suggested, other than by guesswork and discussion on here.
I dont think we know.

The face of football Gary Lineker has always trumpeted its merits and he’s not about to change his mind!
I personally don’t like it, and it would stop me going to games.

@Norman?  ?

I have it on DVD, bought it in a boxset that also had the 1-5 win in munich in 2001. 

This!
Referees, umpires, officials make duff calls sometimes in all sports. But they get the vast majority right in a split second relying on judgment and experience, and in a game like football where there is a lot of interpretation anyway it's just not worth runing the flow and spontanius nature of the game in the name of getting everything "right" - it doesn't make the "show" better, and the argument that so much depends financially on thee decisions does not indicate a need for VAR, it indicates football is a silly thing to spend so much money on.
One reson I like football so much as a sport is that it doesn't stop until half time, then doesn't stop until full time. It's supposed to be fast, fateiguing, relentless and spontainuous. Anyhting that dampens that runins the game - yes I include time wasteing in that and hate it as much as everyone else, but I don't want the clock stopping because then every stop will be several minutes whilst the coaches run the play and players commitees decide what's happening.....(sorry, ranting on a bit there)
"We had to kill it to save it....." is the VAR epitaph.

Leave the politics out, please.

Yep, been saying this for 3 years.

Its awful isnt it.
VAR was supposed to be about obvious errors, not millimeter offside decisions.

Well yes. Of course ?
I think had it been bennett and one other they would have got sacked, bennett was probably saved because of lawrences value.
Lets use the term 'less crap' though.

I heard hes taking Shaun Barker shopping for some clothes that fit him.

Hopefully if we ever do become a fan owned group, that group of fans can find their way to agree on matters better than we do on this forum. ?

I may be misunderstanding but i have always had the feeling if it wasnt for the restraints of FFP/P&s Mel would continue to fund and actively still be trying to secure promotion.
Its the shackles the EFL have implemented in an attempt to protect clubs that are actually causing damage, and potentially putting clubs at risk, not because owners dont have the funds, but because they wont let the owners spend it.
Do the EFL actually want clubs to go out of business? It actually seems that way with the rules they have in place. They are very poor custodians of the football league and really need to take a step back and decide what it is they are trying to do.
When it comes down to appealing over the way something is written on paper then for me it shows they do no have the best interests of the game in mind.

VAR is awful, and pundits are enjoying criticising it, but it is the likes of sky with their dozens of camera angles that are responsible for it.
They enjoyed picking refs up on wrong decisions because they had the benefit of replays from every angle you can imagine, perhaps if they hadnt been so keen to destroy a ref because he made a wrong decision because they could replay it 100 times we wouldnt be in this position today.

Nottingham?

EFL source tacitly admits "get Mel" was a part of it......the only legitimate line is either"no comment, it's ongoing" or "that is a separate issue, the DC must judge the case in front of them"
