davieG Posted 6 March 2023 Share Posted 6 March 2023 5 hours ago, Foxoffice said: The decline of premier league is apparent with sub standard coaches being hailed as the next wenger or fergies of this world not fit to polish there shoes, most now set up not to lose without a plan b if falling behind, the mediocre football dished out weekly is becoming a chore to watch, blackburns tactics last week were a breath of fresh air to watch, continuously on the front foot playing to the strengths of the team, let’s hope more teams impose the s%*t or bust attitude for the remainder of the season, rather than keep ball at the back whilst losing 1-0. I think it's become homogenised with teams tactically more or less the same depending on the opposition. It's hardly surprising when the coaches have all gone through the same training, on how to play the game and testing regime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super_horns Posted 6 March 2023 Share Posted 6 March 2023 (edited) Unless something untoward happened this seems potentially very harsh on Arsenal given the circumstances. Surely if he had a problem with the celebrations should’ve booked players there and then? Edited 6 March 2023 by Super_horns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Jonezy Posted 6 March 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 6 March 2023 Ironic, that Forest complains about the refs, when good old Moss and his VAR team missed a stonewall penalty to Huddersfield in the playoff final. Still the standards really need to improve and the media are far to lenient, when weird decisoins goes against the not so big teams. I will still maintain, that the communication needs to be better. Let us hear the VAR discussions and interview the refs after games, so they can explain their decision making. Maybe that could educate us all and also highlight when a mistake is made and when a subjective decision is made. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guys had far more bad calls against you, probably the most this season. We've had a more against us than for us but not a sizable difference. The Forest complaints are as bizarre as their fan base, I can remember 2 injustices they've had against them and at least 5 in their favour, not even including the play off final.

The thing that doesnt sit comfortably with me is people in the stands being last to know on a decision. Know it was a goal against us but we knew it was given on TV before the fans in the ground did, in my view thats outrageously unfair on people who actually watch games in person and pay more per person then those at home.

There seem to be a few clubs doing that. Paul McShane and Jay Spearing are (or maybe were) in the same role at Utd and Liverpool respectively, and I think Brighton might have one too though the name escapes me. I think we might have had Dean Hammond doing it a few years ago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
