Liverpool are awful

Cheapest for home fans last night was £79. Some half decent seats were £109.

Games gone.

Mental pricing. They are all quick to champion the £30 away cap for fans.

training most days week in week out is the had part, the 90 mins on a saturday is the easy bit

Well thats why 4th choice keepers play for 20 years too..few jogs for 2 hours, 3 days a week. Easy.

know a spurs fan, told me that when they played at wembley, locals by / near the ground would sell their parking spaces for £50-60 a pop for each match and sell them no problem

i expect they do it for all matches, but that's the only time i've heard about wembley games

know a lad who lives near OT and does the same, 10 min walk from the ground, doesn't have a car, so rents his drive out out each season, but nothing like £50+

Prices are mad, Im quite glad being in this bubble of paying cheaper-ish prices at some of these tin sheds.

Been minimum £50 for an adult ticket to each of Forest's home games in Europe and they have played some dross. No wonder there's a few thousand empty seats/ST returns for their league game tonight. People cant keep shelling out week after week

(Sold out v Liverpool at weekend obvs)

Getting daft now

fair enough

even when VAR gets it right, it's shit and I'd rather see the wank officiating we bemoan on a regular basis in league 1

This is what pisses me off

Newcastle goal disallowed last night

Definitely not clear and obvious

 

This utd goal that the ref gave is the sort of thing they should be spotting though I still think we need to revert to actual daylight between the players

I've said it before and I'll say it again, offside should be whole body 

would make it miles easier 

Not sure about the whole body.

A good defence playing someone offside is a skill in itself.

I don't mind VAR for a close offside/onside as it is consistent.

That said, if some leeway was introduced then fair enough- just not a full body.

You only have to look at the comments on social media to see that virtually no-one thinks this is a good idea.

any changes they make now are all for the worse 

fa cup replays, prem 21s in papa johns, VAR, playoffs, 48 team world cup

only thing thats been changed that's been decent is the CL format 

Who is it even for?

Recall that Lukaku league cup final goal against Liverpol tother year which got ruled out, annoyed me. Clearly onside, don't know which pissed blind cunt they had drawing lines and making decisions.

Imagine having a Cup Final goal at Wembley getting ruled out because of some VAR gimp

The offside law was put in place to stop tit-lining. 

It wasn't put in place to rule out a goal because the attacker has bigger feet than the defender or because he's leaning forward a bit more.

Just change the law so that if any part of you is onside then it's a goal.

There will still be contentious decisions but there'll be a lot less than there is now and ultimately there will be more goals ... which is what football is all about.

I don’t think they’ll close the gap. On their day they’re a very good side, but they’ve no consistency that you’d need to claw back to the play offs, they win as many as they lose - even if they hold on today, it’s 4 wins and 4 losses in 8.

If they did manage to get there then I wouldn’t fancy them in the play offs, purely for that reason that on their day they can take teams to pieces.

Not sure

Fair enough, I was just looking at recent form - they’ve lost as many as they’ve won in their last 8.

I think they won a few just after he started, hence the way it’s been presented in that post.

Suppose what I’m saying is they’ll need an upturn in more recent form. Win one lose one won’t see them catch the play off spots

Form table says that they’re 10th so not that impressive.

yep, it should be rewarding skill. There's skill in taking the right pace forward at the right time (defender or attacker). But nobody can judge that to a bloody cm. Just making it pot luck.

Good grief, makes Kevin Pressman's look soft.

It’ll be ideal when we finish 8th in the Champ next season.

They won’t give a shit what the fans think. As long as the TV companies shell out for a few extra games, they’re happy

Disgrace.

Still, crowds are decent. They must be raking it in.

Not sure how normal folk afford that… especially away fans who have travelling cost on top of drink and food. I’m out if we ever get back to the premier league.

I remember when the European super league looked like it was a goer, with the big clubs saying yes.

Fan power, via protests, soon knocked that on the head.

Time for something similar I reckon.

I think many would be.

Especially with so much availability on satellite channels.
