Current discussions are that it won't be used in this year's play offs...

Speaking as a referee things like that never bother me it's to be expected as you say 😂 It's when the pundits like linekar contradict themselves by asking for law changes they change and then they say whoever made them got it wrong 😂

Agreed, and I think most referees are happy with the fact that some decisions they make will be contentious. But I know from speaking to some of the top refs in England, they agree on VAR. They don't enjoy when they get appointed to VAR, and in general they want it to be for factual calls not...

This is the reality of football and implementing rules of the games. Refereeing directives will attempt to adapt to the general feeling within football, but people never want what they say they want. Like you say games are meant to flow more now, but that will lead to a different tolerance...

It needs to be looked at, but will have to hope there is footage capturing it. Not great if it means he's potentially out for the rest of the season. (I doubt it but that's what telegraph have reported it could be)

Get the reserve players on!

Had an event with the ref for this game today. Good bloke from Middlesbrough. Said the FA and club were aware the event was likely going to be abandoned on the day due to the protest but had to try. But was clear the second it started it wasn't going to get back on. Poor bloke now has to redo...

It's easier to get back in a game with 11 men than it is to stay in a game with 10.

Tbf he also clarified the comments of disappointment about wanting to move the club on as a fast as possible but that isn't possible. And he gets that. Also he's always always complained about quality in depth. Every year! I don't think that is every changing!

But it's still not a reflection on the window is it... If Torp plays badly we are exactly same a pre window 😂 the comment makes no sense. If he was out for the season it might but he's literally going to be back in a few weeks most likely.

Sheafs injury has nothing to do with the window. If it had happened next week, we wouldn't be saying it's a bad window because of that? Either we were short or not.

You are bang on with this and Robins alludes to a similar point in his recent interview. He says Doug wants to make sure he's getting value for money on all transfers. A gamble on a high end loan isn't value for money if you don't go up. And I'm not sure there was a big enough hole in our...

Tbf I'd imagine most general football fans have heard of him. He's had a good couple of seasons at that level.

Well I guess that's deadline day done then tbf. Good signing when it's confirmed but shame we won't see him this year!

Under embargo 😂

As I say he may well be. Clearly missing some key details though if he hasn't just said who/what the deal is. Literally his job to report on it yet he's holding out.

I mean clearly turner doesn't have all the details if almost 50 minutes later he still hasn't released any more info. He may well be right but he isn't a direct line into the club.

I'm not sure slowpoke ever had the standing to have a downfall tbf...

This has to be one of the worst attempts to pretend to be in the know... You have said 3 different things in 3 days now!

They bid 8M for a player that's likely to be out for 2 months... Seems likely!
