Yeah it was the game where Ruud Gullit was in the bbc studio and said he was hoping for some sexy football - where the phrase was born.

That was the ‘sexy football’ match wasn’t it? at Villa?

That’s true but then I think there’d be less arguments about it being as picky as someone’s foot being bigger (wright/wan-bissaka). The perceived advantage to the attacker if his body is clearly ahead of the defender would be easier to swallow.

Used to love watching the Italian football on c4 and fiorentina were on a lot, so saw a lot of Batistuta. Just ruthless.

Should be the body mass/torso. Don’t see why that’s so difficult. If any part of the bodies are overlapping then it’s onside. If there’s a gap then offside. Easier to measure with this semi-automated as well.

Thought he did well yesterday. Let things go which helped the flow. I think he’s had two other games up CBS this season - one he was poor I thought where he didn’t give a stonewall pen, the other was much better (Millwall I think). he’s a young ref and I think highly thought of as he has done...

Yeah he pulls it back himself rather than Thomas kicking through it. wanker. Serves him right for doing Dovin last season.

There was one angle on sky last night which clearly shows Thomas effectively air kicks Campbell’s foot - he did the ‘move foot towards defenders to initiate contact’ but missed basically. 100% dive.

He went off after 15 minutes on Saturday. Shame for him. Must be so frustrating.

Notwithstanding the Epstein shit and that he’s a general prick anyway, but it’s always struck me as weird the fact that he still lived with Fergie even years after they got divorced…. Really bloody strange. almost like keeping her close cos she was in that ‘circle of trust’ cos she was involved...

Anyone who plays youth or amateur football that has a mic attached to them or a little camera in the goal deserves total disdain or if they’re adults a two-footer. Fair enough they’re trying to make money with their limited ability, cos they’re obviously not good enough to be a pro cos they’d...

Add to that adult Sunday league players who do it…….

They’re different sorts of strikers. Wright thrives more when he has space - to run with the ball at defenders or into space behind. Simms the more ‘target man’ one or two touches in box striker - I think yesterdays game showed it - wright worked and battled hard against the centre halves but...

Michael Brown - what a prick. Apparently nothing wrong with the shoulder barge to the head that nearly knocked out Tats.

Card happy, and that’s if he gets the correct player…..

Having a shocking game. Clown

He certainly did drop into the LWB position at times - there’s one passage of play whe Boro are in possession where he is alongside Dasilva in a 5. Yes he got the cross wrong but when he was actually running with the ball he was actually looking at the defenders, rather than say Raphael who...

Yeah the ref did the ‘pointing around the pitch’ thing. but I felt the amount that Onyeka was getting fouled himself was worthy of someone getting a yellow for the ‘next’ one but I guess it don’t work like that.

I went to the loo just before kick off and came back down the steps and all I could hear was the sky blue song being belted out by the blocks 27 ish corner - I looked across and just thought ‘yeah nice’. Just felt different.

Yeah it’s why it’s so bemusing as to how the ref and Lino both couldn’t see it? Very odd.
