Re: EPL 22/23
VAR missed the bus to the Emirates this morning.. :lol: Arteta is a knob, what a child. I agree, his actions on the side-line were way over the top. Alan Shearer and Ian Wright had a good debate about it after the match. Can understand Wright in trying to defend/not criticise Arteta too much but Sh...

Re: Rangers v Celtic
minutes later Rangers were awarded a penalty when Starfelt upended Sikala Starfelt didn't upend sikala. sikala stood on Starfelt's foot. Yes it was a tough call but Starfelt did himself no favours by lunging in like that, giving the Ref a big decision to make which was not pulled back by VAR. Also ...

Re: Rangers v Celtic
Rangers 2 v Celtic 2 Summary- Celtic were quick out the blocks and scored early following a poor cross-field pass from Morelos which was punished by Maeda with a composed finish. Celtic in total control without making many chances for the first thirty or so minutes. Momentum seemed to turn after a t...

Re: Rangers v Celtic
Rangers v Celtic at Ibrox today/tonight. Beale will want to press high against Celtic and show some attacking initiative by putting them on the back foot. Recent form would suggest a win for Celtic, especially if they turn up. If Rangers are on song it should prove to be a ripper of a game. Rangers ...

Re: World Cup 2022 Forum
I thought GIAE might have used the 'forward's tackle' excuse- where in the LOTG does it say a forward gets away with a serious foul play offence by receiving a yellow and not a red? Regardless of which team you support you should refrain from using bias one way or another. If Robertson had not lifte...

A great final. Well played by both. Two champions in Messi and Mbappe. THe sesecond Argentine goal was brilliant. Something you would expect on a PlayStation game.

Let’s see who gets the blame: Ref? Kane? Southgate? Macron? Ref- started well enough but found it tough the second half. Surprised the second penalty given needed VAR intervention.

Re: Football is Coming Home
Going to be a cracking world cup. Short preparation time. Could mean a few shock results. Best chance for a while for someone new to lift the trophy. Most world cups before this one, were after the season has ended. This one is smack in the middle of the season, so all players (unless injured) shou...
