It’s tilted a bit in that a choppy slower match is the Blades’ gameplan, but I agree that it’s more weird thanslanted reffing.Spurs game has slowed to a crawl due to a bunch of odd and inexplicable referee decisions. Nothing that's really tilted the game, but its just a bizarre game.
Yes. There were a bunch of weird stoppages in the second half and then a ton of time wasting by Sheffield.Wasn’t watching this match is the +12 valid? I know we are getting longer durations this year but that’s an extremely long time did someone have a bad injury?
I'm sure multiple MLS execs fist pump every time Durán scores a banger.Not to be outdone, Villa and Palace are in the 14th minute of extra time, with Villa scoring twice in extra time to go up 3-1.
I think probably the worst thing if you’re a United fan is just how calm Brighton were at the final whistle. Nobody wants to see the inverse either but Brighton looked like they fully expected to win that oneBrighton going into Old Trafford expecting to win, being expected to win, and winning. Can’t truly get used to it.
FTFY.Sheffield Uniteddefendedtime-wasted really well for most of the game, hard for them to walk away with no points.
Pretty sure Mansueto wishes there had been a few more performance clauses in that deal.I'm sure multiple MLS execs fist pump every time Durán scores a banger.
He could fund more libraries in Hyde Park!Pretty sure Mansueto wishes there had been a few more performance clauses in that deal.
With the anti football time wasting and fake injuries if we actually stopped a clock it might have been 25 minutes.Wasn’t watching this match is the +12 valid? I know we are getting longer durations this year but that’s an extremely long time did someone have a bad injury?
IMO the ref should just be able to control a running clock that is visible in the stadium. Every time someone goes down the clock just stops.. instead of arbitrarily choosing a number that may be close somehow to what the number should be in one man's mind. Feel like second halves are getting extended a ton, but the first half is still getting 'normal' stoppage time numbers of max 4-5 minutes. Would be interested to see what the stats are to see if second halves are indeed getting extended by a lot longer times.So are fans on SOSH in favor of the new implementation of true added time ( time wasting, VAR , substitutions, I think goal celebrations are being taken into account but maybe I’m wrong) ?
Yes, unless the referee is from the northwest of England I guessSo are fans on SOSH in favor of the new implementation of true added time ( time wasting, VAR , substitutions, I think goal celebrations are being taken into account but maybe I’m wrong) ?
Isn’t that also a function of usually playing in the Champions League though too?View attachment 70958
This would be annoying if the record wasn’t so good.
@teddykgb - non confrontational question - what did you think of that ref article?Yes, unless the referee is from the northwest of England I guess
Nah, it’s broadcaster driven (as I understand it).Isn’t that also a function of usually playing in the Champions League though too?
I think he’s at left winger with Colwill at LB in a 4-4-3.Mudryk is the LWB...
just got a flash flood warning for today. Should be fun!Chicago-Bournemouth - can't tell the difference in weather right now
