  1. I agree it's good to get the decisions right, there is a lot at stake. There is a balance though, the reason it's lucrative is because it's enjoyable to watch. This sort of fiasco makes it difficult to enjoy for me. VAR still needs some fine tuning.
  2. More VAR chaos, in the Champions League this time. They need to keep looking at how and when to use the technology and balance it against ruining the flow of the game. https://www.bt.com/sport/watch/video/clips/2021/march/in-full-bizarre-scenes-as-haaland-finally-gets-the-goal
  3. I do feel for people who have these issues. I wonder if they'd be better treated with compassion and understanding than attempting a surgical "fix". The NHS seems to bow down to public pressure very easily. edit - It doesn't help that it's very difficult to express views like these publicly without getting shouted down. I'd really like to see more open debate.
  4. I would have thought that people who are unhappy with their bodies would be better off treated from a psychological perspective than a surgical one. "Gender dysphoria" is all rather un-evidenced if you ask me. Dress how you want but I'd like to see more evidence that people are born in the wrong body before I'm happy with the NHS chopping bits off simply because the patient asks for it. Of course if people want to pay for surgery themselves, that's their business.
  5. Homosexuality seems to be a Darwinian puzzle. You'd think it would die out due to the lack of reproduction but it doesn't.
  6. Not sure if Tonic Housing is a step forward or a step backwards. I guess it must be reassuring for the residents to live somewhere where gay people and their interests aren't going to be judged by the others who live there. Seems a bit like segregation though and I thought society was trying to move away from that. And is it the case that you won't be permitted to buy a flat unless you qualify somehow? Again, seems a bit "separatist". Whatever I suppose, as long as everyone's happy.
  7. Ha, completely agree, but I'm not sure we've got the available players to keep anything tight at the moment.
  8. I imagine the first. Quite liking the thought of Armstong at CB now I've had a second to think about it [Hoping this post doesn't look very silly in a couple of hours time]
  9. So Armstrong CM?
  10. It would certainly remove a lot of the uncertainty as to why decisions have been given. I wonder if secretly we enjoy trying to work out what on earth the ref's thinking there. Having to fathom it out for yourself or discuss it down the pub (or on a forum).
  11. Anyone guessing the correct team selection/formation today gets a prize.
  12. I used to post in the Independent when the comments section was completely unmoderated. Tonnes of racism, misogyny, anti-whatever. I suspect it attracted people who were silenced by society because it was one of the few newspapers you could spout stuff anonymously. You can on Youtube currently. I came to the conclusion that it wasn't a fair reflection of society as a whole, rather a minority who flock en mass to an outlet for pent up aggression wherever they can find it.
  13. First half I thought we were marginally better and were unlucky not to go in at half time ahead. When Leeds scored I thought we'd react, and we did but we were worse for it. Losing Romeu further worsened us.
  14. Knackered probably but yes, at fault
  15. No idea what he said but I agree.
  16. I thought Prowse kicked it marginally before Mariner blew to be honest so Mariner wanted it brought back. Like to see a replay though...
  17. Scroll down to the green list for links for many streams. I usually start at the top one and rarely need to go anywhere else... https://soccer.streamsgate.tv/event/leeds-united-vs-southampton-match-preview/ This one from the list seems to be working well... http://hockeynews.site/events/edsniteuthamp/
  18. Some talent on the bench. Imagine Mini and Ings could cause some chaos against tired legs should we need a goal... Glad Tella's been given a go.
  19. Ha ha, we should promote this. Get a full house, cheer the team on and start the season as we mean to go on...
  20. Ha ha, I was about to complain about him giving the ball away too often when he scored the goal. Hopefully he'll gain a bit more sharpness as he settles in.
  21. A bit disappointed as we were ahead, but would have bitten your hand off for a point beforehand.
  22. Shame we have no Diallo on the bench. Romeu needs to be careful...
  23. Great draw....we need to avoid injuries!
  24. Big relief to get a result. Looking forward to the draw...
