    The Loan System

    i dont see what the issue is. if some arent happy with the loaning/transfering of players and the money that surrounds it, theres international football

    Neymar

    the problem is you dont get given the fouls without the "amateur dramatics". the problem is more with the refs and the "culture" surrounding football imo

    Everton

    the landscape is completely different now. imo everton would be well advised to not have ambitions of breaking the top 4. it will likely be a huge waste of money. when we did it, city werent what they are now. also, since we have been in it (the top 4), its actually a top 6 now, making it...

    The Loan System

    if the issue is that some clubs are exploiting it for profit, shouldn't transfers be outlawed too?

    Neymar

    tbf to neymar he is genuinely fouled far more often than most. if refs were any decent he wouldnt have to resort to diving.

    Liverpool thread

    so glad we don't have klopp as our manager. i think most football fans can see that they totally overrated him during his time at dortmund now.

    2022 World Cup... gonna ruin the European Season

    spot on, its an absolute disgrace that the tournament is being hosted in qatar. a country that holds moral values that could not be any further from the majority of countries that will be taking part in the worldcup.

    World Cup 2018 Semi Finals

    maybe this was the issue... too many players in the squad who havent won anything and only have experience of exiting competitions at this stage :(

    World Cup 2018 Semi Finals

    the team deserve the praise they are getting, but lets not get ahead of ourselves. we played 1 worldcup contender (belgium) and lost. we played 2 decent teams (colombia, croatia), and couldnt find a win. scored 12 goals, of which 9 were set pieces. we dont have any good midfielders, so we...

    VAR: Sponsored by Chelsea

    it seems there were only a couple of uses of var in this worldcup where it really proved its value. ie. the korea goal vs germany. although theres a lot of money in football, surely this cant be worth the cost of having to hire so many more refs for a potential minimal gain. however many more...

    VAR: Sponsored by Chelsea

    its obvious they're just letting some fouls go now. they've realised that it just isnt working in the manner they had hoped/envisioned. imo var will probably die out for a few years until a much better way of utilising it has been thought up. to answer your question, it should have been used...

    shouldn't var pull that freekick back as dzagoev moved the ball? an absolute farce

    lol, are you for real? and hi mr clattenberg :) sounds exactly as pompous as i would expect from a british ref

    VAR: Sponsored by Chelsea

    theres probably just been a directive for refs to stop using var so often. if i had to guess, the frequency that the refs were using var was probably deemed fine initially, but fifa probably thought players would stop cheating. they havent, and fifa are now probably worried that the number of...

    VAR: Sponsored by Chelsea

    wrong - good refereeing has always been about applying the rules as best one can. "common sense" is subjective. again wrong. each incident should be judged on its own merit, independently of previous events. wrong once again. if the ref felt there was diving going on and visibly dissenting...

    i guess you think barrios should stay on the pitch too... also the response of english tv/media is a joke. double standards - neymar has been vilified for what henderson has done.

    yes, a stamp on someone however slight is assault and should have been a straight red.

    VAR: Sponsored by Chelsea

    this debate is precisely why var wont work in football. @r-u-s-x, following your line of argument, surely shirt pulling at corners is not a foul either, and goalkeepers clattering on-coming attackers is also not a foul? also, how comes the stamp on neymar didnt lead to a red car? a light slap...

    VAR: Sponsored by Chelsea

    disagree. its one that would be given the vast majority of times had it occurred in the middle of the pitch. isnt the whole point of var to give referees a second look at a high pressure decision such as this - so that they can correctly award the foul, where in the past they have bottled it...
