    Peter Bankes needs investigating

    Yeah, I don't think there is any conspiracy to be found here at all. Same with Forest, which I find a little embarrassing. If they are going to vet every official , you would have hardly any officials left to officiate. This, yesterday.was just hasty, ill-judged, incompetence. I can't believe...

    We NEED to appeal that.

    That needs to change. They obviously watch the game, but they don't need to micro analyse everything. As I keep saying, yesterday was the perfect example and no-one can say anything other than it was impossible to say "onside or offside" on first viewing of that still, because it was so close...

    Match Thread Coventry City - Hull City Match Thread - Wednesday 24th Apr

    They'll be up for it. I just think they will lack the stamina to see the game through. I think we will start off well, but then struggle and fade as the game wears on. Best scenario is that we go a couple of goals up early on and then try and see the game out. I do honestly think we will...

    An ode to Mark Robins

    There once was a lad called Robins A bloke just like you and like me He took us to the brink But then just watched it all sink As we thought we'd won the game 4-3

    Get VAR in the fucking bin

    VAR looks at an incident and if it looks too close to call to the naked eye, you go back to the on-field officials original ruling. Anything that needs a slide rule and minutes of analysis, should be dumped. It would be much fairer than having no VAR at all and wouldn't pee people off as much...

    Get VAR in the fucking bin

    VAR will always be shit for as long as they keep using a toenail as a metric .

    Has anyone mentioned

    Nope. Try the Man U forum.

    Get VAR in the fucking bin

    No. It would be common sense though to implement it that way. I have consistently said, VAR needs fine-tuning and changing, because as it stands, it is detrimental to the game

    Match Thread Coventry City v Manchester United - FA Cup Semi-Final

    No, I'm fine. I didn't go though. Mind, in saying that, I went to the Luton game and I was fine after that too. Sad, but just more of an "oh well" from me, because I felt Luton were the better side. I may well have felt different had I have gone yesterday.

    We NEED to appeal that.

    Exactly. VAR can work, but it certainly isn't working they way they are implementing it. It's become ridiculous.

    Get VAR in the fucking bin

    Nope. In that scenario yesterday, no. It's such a close call isn't it. So, I think, as VAR, you look at it and if it's that close, you go with the on-field decision. So if the linesman raised his flag, that's what you go with. There wasn't enough evidence to overturn it. Should be like in...

    And look where the linesman is. Right in line with it.

    Season tickets for 2024/2025 season

    In order to get an un-contested divorce, we had to have an agreement and that was the only thing my ex would agree to. If it was contested, it would have cost us around 15 grand each. The thing that made me roll my eyes in all this was that she got everything, so the house (worth £230k), the...

    Get VAR in the fucking bin

    Again, I get what you are saying, but no-one, I repeat, no-one, could say looking at that still, that there was a clear and obvious error. There would still be some ambiguity in general for sure, but we CAN make it better. That yesterday should never have been overturned. No-one can defend that...

    What's the obsession with Lati?

    Yeah, I can see him playing too. He needs to keep his head though. He could have quite easily have been booked early on yesterday. I looked at the clock and it wasn't even 10 mins into the game. You get booked that early on, it really puts you at such a disadvantage.

    We NEED to appeal that.

    Yeah, we should do that and we can all stand in line, but have the line just ever so slightly wonky.

    Match Thread Coventry City - Hull City Match Thread - Wednesday 24th Apr

    Not knocking JDS, because I do quite rate him and he played very well yesterday, but I am wondering if Torp and Da Silva played better yesterday, because against Premier League level, you often get more time on the ball and it's not quite the fast pace and harrying nature of the Championship...
