And you just know that whatever people in football and supporters say, if they see engagements on it and international audiences numbers grow. It'll stick around and creep into other offences. Not to say that's bad necessarily but inevitable if var is anything to go by

I don’t think they’d be many blue cards given after maybe few weeks anyway.

this is what everybody said at the start of the season when they started clamping down on dissent

then they caved and it's back to being as arbitrary as it ever was

But giving a sin bin is easier than a yellow card as then you’ve given yourself as a ref a tough predicament on any other 50/50s after.

You think a manager will stand for you getting sent of a pitch for 10 mins a game every game.

but they're just not going to apply it that consistently and rigorously. they never do.

what's gonna happen when 5 players are all mouthing off to the ref? is the game going to be 10v7 for over 10% of regulated time?

the problem is that red cards are currently too harsh of a punishment so second yellows are never given, that needs to be solved rather than just adding even more guff for refs to deal with when they're already struggling enough as is

football is consistently less entertaining and less competitive when teams have a man disadvantage. the goal should be to try and keep 11v11 on the pitch as much as possible

You wrote a lot there Chris and I’ll definitely will read it once I’ve stopped drinking

Ps all comments from now are me drunk goading our fans

Not reading this sober tbf

That BJ goal had a xG on the understat model of .57.

I know it wasn't fully a tap in and it was missable, but I'm surprised they assume that finish is missed 50% of the time

Seems like the model still needs work

Good win that lads

Triffic. On my birthday as well, nice touch

Bentancur getting flack for the Brighton penalty but imo it’s all on VDV.

His pass into bents wasn’t on and left bents with 3 Brighton players around him and no space.
