No, the letter of the law means it is, its harsh, bollocks and a load of shite but he didn’t play the ball and there was contact, irrespective that is not our comfort blanket.
Or watch a sport that allows a level playing field.
Simplest is surely just go with foot… only part that give you any avantage
Evening lads, film was great, did we win?

Well, we dont need franchise nonsense, but some sort of more effective financial controls would be welcome. But there is no incentive to do so whilst its a cash cow for broadcasters paying silly money for global rights… Too many fans globally only interested in 10-12 clubs… to be honest, the sooner they fuck off and play amongst themselves the better for the national competition.

I think Bednarek’s red card will be rescinded. There’s no way that was a sending off. It’s a booking for Martial. If there is a touch it’s by Martial dragging his leg to induce the contact.
Tell me I’m wrong Bazza because I know I’m not.

Franchises, no, but teams with a set salary limit, trading contracts, draft system etc would work well.
No. There was no contact until Martial had almost dived to the floor. The point is, he didn’t play the ball but neither did he play the man. It was all down to Dean cheating at first, then VAR being too weak to correct it, Dean being too pig-headed to reconsider his decision.

But the relegation and promotion is part of the game. We see even now how the parachute payment fucks with the fairness of the Championship etc. So how would anything like that work… and it would have to be global
I hope you’re right but I am 99.9% sure it won’t be.
Who will review it? They cannot afford to rescind that because ref gave it, VAR reviewed it, ref looked at the monitor…
No way will they admit that after all of that they still got it wrong. It would be too embarrassing.
Forster at centre back it is.

I’m telling I think it won’t be because he made an onfield decision and VAR didn’t overturn it, its bollocks, its crap but they’re the rules.
Like kids here, we got fucked over in all directions and thats it.
This is the result of a cunt of an owner not buying the required standard.
All the pundits on BT say it was a bad day for football, social media is awash with it, even Martial said to Bednarek it wasn’t a foul.

“I felt that he threw himself down very dramatically. Mike Dean couldn’t give it quick enough”.
Mike Dean is a wrong un.

It doesn’t, you just don’t partake in international competition.
Expand the League to 32 teams. With the money available invest in football youth training hubs around the country. Set amount of money every year is available for International signings.
Relegation and Promotion is an issue, I agree, but I am sure there is something that can be done there - perhaps they have first dibs over free agents once the annual draft has taken place and relegation and promotion still takes place.
What did Stewie get booked for?
Delaying the restart at 8-0
Telling Dean he was a cheating, bald headed cock gobbler.

Your last paragraph is full of the usual shit we’re all constantly bored of Barry.
Even the newbie @Donkey_Schlong who seems to have “full Barry” potential appeared absent for the game - Or can’t you manage two logins at once?
(Apologies if I’m casting nasturtiums @Donkey_Schlong)
