Edmonton Saint Posted 17 June, 2020 Posted 17 June, 2020 Well football is back, and looking very different. It's so weird without fans being there it's going to take some adjustment. Villa v Sheff Utd is 0-0 with nearly 20 minutes played...
John Boy Saint Posted 17 June, 2020 Posted 17 June, 2020 Mrs JBS switched from main event to Premier League - amazingly better without the faux fan effect. Amazing how Grealish gets the merest touch and collapses gets the decision, Long at speed gets clearly clipped ref persistently waves it away.
OttawaSaint Posted 17 June, 2020 Posted 17 June, 2020 Are you lot getting the same feed as me with the cringy reactions of fans watching at home on their couches all decked out in replica shirts, hats, scarves? lol. Embarrassing.
OttawaSaint Posted 17 June, 2020 Posted 17 June, 2020 Grealish going to ground before contact. Amazing that refs are not cottoning on. He’s looking to go to ground any time an opponent gets near him.
Lighthouse Posted 17 June, 2020 Posted 17 June, 2020 I hope the City Arsenal game is better than this.
OttawaSaint Posted 17 June, 2020 Posted 17 June, 2020 How’s that not a goal. Villa goalie pushed behind the line with the ball by own player. VAR?

Jimmy_D Posted 17 June, 2020 Posted 17 June, 2020 WTF!? First time I've seen goal line technology fail. Surely they should have checked that with VAR?
OttawaSaint Posted 17 June, 2020 Posted 17 June, 2020 Good energy from that black lives matter bloke, he’s everywhere!

VAR has no remit to check goal-line decisions because it was always assumed the tech was correct. Got to be a manual error there somewhere, but previously they've always tested the system for about half an hour before the players come out for their warm-ups and I'm pretty sure they don't turn it off between then and kick-off.
Charlie Wayman Posted 17 June, 2020 Posted 17 June, 2020 None of them look fit or even up for it. Half hearted effort all round. Grealish is a show pony that cannot be touched

stevegrant Posted 17 June, 2020 Posted 17 June, 2020 So the ref's goal-line tech watch buzzed when he got back into the changing room at half-time No great surprise that the signal in a football ground is shit, mind you...

What about his eyes. It wasn’t even a close one. The goalie had a “oh shit I fucked up” look on his face too. What a clanger !
Jimmy_D Posted 17 June, 2020 Posted 17 June, 2020 Have to say this game is reminding me a lot more of the things I don't like about football than the things that I do.

OttawaSaint Posted 17 June, 2020 Posted 17 June, 2020 (edited) No swear filter on this forum? Hmm. S****horpe are fucking **** but Pompey are ****ter! Edited 17 June, 2020 by Jimmy_D slower unreliable swear filter ;)
Trader Posted 17 June, 2020 Posted 17 June, 2020 They’ve got to get rid of this VAR from Stockley Park nonsense - they never seem to get it right.

SNSUN Posted 17 June, 2020 Posted 17 June, 2020 I can see Villa nicking this as Sheffield Utd should be one up. Even though I’m confident we’ll be safe from relegation worries, I don’t particularly want teams behind us creeping up. Sheffield United are probably uncatchable. Draw would be OK.
OttawaSaint Posted 17 June, 2020 Posted 17 June, 2020 Anyone else getting a “too many connections” error?
Saint Garrett Posted 17 June, 2020 Posted 17 June, 2020 17 minutes ago, OttawaSaint said: Anyone else getting a “too many connections” error? Yes!!! Seems incredibly unstable at the moment. That game was absolutely appalling, as was that decision. Looked like a pre season game, where no-one is playing at full pace. Lets see what this Arsenal City game is like....it's raining so maybe that might wake them up a bit.
shurlock Posted 17 June, 2020 Posted 17 June, 2020 Has the feel and atmosphere of a first game at WC.
Baird of the land Posted 17 June, 2020 Posted 17 June, 2020 While goal line technology was at fault. What’s the point of VAR if it doesn’t overrule a clear and obvious error by the technology.

What’s the point of VAR if it doesn’t overrule a clear and obvious error by the technology. Was utterly ridiculous given how my times VAR has given really dubious penalties etc. To just shrug it off and go, “oh well, the camera didn’t work due to the position of the goalie” was utterly ludicrous. I wonder what would have happened if it was a Liverpool goal?
OttawaSaint Posted 17 June, 2020 Posted 17 June, 2020 Covid must have hit Arsenal hard financially. Arteta wearing a bin liner.
Edmonton Saint Posted 17 June, 2020 Author Posted 17 June, 2020 David Luiz is just a liability these days.
Jimmy_D Posted 19 June, 2020 Posted 19 June, 2020 Nice balanced pundit lineup they've got for the Spurs - Man Utd game!
stevegrant Posted 19 June, 2020 Posted 19 June, 2020 Can't see anything other than a comfortable Man United win here, the Spurs centre-back partnership of Sanchez and Dier would terrify me if I was a Spurs fan.

Difficult to tell what state any team is at the moment. That said, doesn't look like Spurs have started well here.

Not sure what Mourinho is on, starting that back two with Vertonghen and Alderweireld on the bench!
