    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Not going to get too excited about AI driven productivity improvements. If experience is anything to go by that's just going to mean I'll be expected to do more work and wages will be suppressed as people get laid off and there's a surplus of workers. Sure someone will benefit but doubt it...

    FA Cup Replays / Too Many Games Argument

    I suspect the actual answer to the league cup being two legs is that nobody that supports the 'big' teams is going to a neutral ground mid-week for a semi-final but you could just have first team drawn at home I would have thought. The argument about too many games totally falls apart when...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Just seems like you can label any old shit AI and people get excited with zero understanding of what it actually means. Most of the stuff being labelled AI shouldn't be called that to start with. The idea that its some shortcut to an economic boom doesn't work for me.

    The Holiday 2025 thread

    Hadn't heard of the Black Church, will pay that a visit. Sfântu Gheorghe is such an odd place to have an international tournament, and the arena is actually just outside the city. Makes the CBS look like its in the city centre 😂 Virtually no airport (even Brasov only has a couple of flights...

    Referee

    If the rule is that players with head injuries should be forced off the pitch prior to medical assessment the PFA should be on the case as player safety is being endangered. Also why does the FA's treatment of injuries guidance directly contradict this stating: I would suggest that an injury...

    Referee

    he was literally stood there having a drink when the coach appeared with another water bottle so zero excuses for the officials to fall for it.

    Referee

    think for me thats the most frustrating part. even if you ignore the fact the ref missed a blatant foul and it should he been our free kick if he had done what every other ref does and allow treatment on the pitch, even briefly, it would have given the players time to think about defending a...

    Referee

    just so I've got this clear the instruction to referees is that when players have a head injury they should not be allowed any assessment or treatment on the pitch and instead be rushed off the pitch as quickly as possible. its all well and good quoting rules but the rules being quoted are...

    I don't think it's really that out there to expect an incoming manager to have a basic grasp of our squads abilities. We knew for weeks it was going to be Lampard so surely you'd expect him to be vaguely prepared. There's these amazing new inventions where he doesn't need to actually have been...

    Pointing to the laws of the game would be great if they were consistently applied. First line of that is "The Laws of the Game and FIFA instructions indicate that any player requiring treatment must be given such treatment off the field of play", it goes on to state that physios should only be...

    I’m thinking I might leave a bit later than usual, might leave it as late as 5 to make sure it’s still on and it’s not got a lot colder or foggier

    So what’s the verdict, are people heading up and hoping for the best? Tempted to wait for the second inspection and team news. If it’s reserves and not being able to see most of the pitch not sure I can be arsed tbh!

    We should try and sneak an extra player on. Love how the clubs tweet that the game is on is accompanied by a picture where you can see fuck all! We’ve been stopped by rain and the flying dude so far this season. What are the odds on a stoppage on this one because nobody can see anything.

    what's the rule on this, is it just player safety or does people being able to get to the ground and / or see the actual match come in to it?
