So Var has been fucked up because the PIC is a fucking egg chaser.

VAR coach returns to rugby leaguepublished at 13:23

13:23

VAR coach Phil Bentham is to leave football’s Professional Game Match Officials (PGMOL) to take up the role of Rugby Football League’s new Head of Match Officials.

Bentham will return to the sport in which he refereed for 14 seasons between 2005 and 2018 in the Super League and operated as a match officials coach until March 2021, after which point he joined PGMOL as a VAR coach.

A PGMOL statement said: “Phil will leave with our sincere thanks for his considerable contribution over the past two years and very best wishes for the future.”

That will explain the multitude of ropey handball decisions

Absolutely- the union boys do nothing but kick these days

It ain’t called kick and clap for no reason…

Except BBC reporting Ashworth at Newcastle is hot favourite due to his existing established relationship with Sir Dave Brailsford

They are saying he will be under Ashworth

Fair play to the Ineos mob - soughting out the management before spaffing money on players

Provided the Glazers keep their fingers out , then there is every chance Utd will become an extraordinarily well run club

Shame

I was like pressing buttons on my laptop last week to switch Jota in to my team partly because of double game week then he got crocked.

I hthen forgot all about it and by the time I logged back in to change my team it was already after the cut off

In fairness my wrong team has scored 78 points so far with Captain Haaland in action again tonight so maybe I shoud forget to do FPL more often

The peoples’ game

As long as they are in the away end?

What exactly do you get for £5k

Helicopter transfer to the middle of the pitch?

I’m not that surprised - court side seats at an NBA game are $3k

I had to pay $140 a ticket for corner section row 15 for the ice hockey

What I think the yanks won’t understand is that the catchment of their US teams is vast - Texas has 30m population and only two nfl teams. It’s an occasion to go to a game akin to a concert.

There are 17 teams in the top five divisions in London for a population of 7m

Their “math” needs work

Ive been looking for a reason to use my overdraft facility.
