Any proper statistician would tell you that these claims about % improvement with VAR are all boll*cks anyway. It's impossible to know if the on-field decision would have always been the same without VAR in the background. Without this counter-factual, you will always be comparing apples with...

The narrative this morning from media outlets has shifted a bit. Bordering on condescending, give little old Wolves a "pat on back" for making some good points, but you're not looking at the bigger picture lads - we've got a bigger brand to protect here. Have the journos really done a straw...

I thought the 'new' Bernabeu looked pretty awesome last night tbf and is self-evidently the new template for the super elite clubs. Not my cup of tea personally. But having the retractable roof increases the revenue prospects of these clubs onto yet another level...

Or Mario? he can play anywhere can't he?

There's definitely some 'sunk cost fallacy' at play with the football authorities re. VAR from here. They seem to be of the opinion that some small tweaks (e.g speed, slightly more transparency, better VAR training) will rectify everything. BUT they are completely missing the bigger point...

It's not clear to me what the direction of travel is here in the next couple of seasons, how will this play out, as clearly the status quo isn't sustainable: Scenario #1. Stuck with VAR - the authorities continually strive for perfection, for instance bringing in more & more semi-automated...

My dad is unwell so I have a spare ticket for the South Bank tomorrow. OAP and its a Print at Home tkt

Given the number of unsold tickets for Wednesday, it looks like the Cup Dream is not alive and kicking

Can't believe how many I'd say less than half mate, absolutely tons of available seats in the South Bank

The scale of any sanction/fine will be based on a FA "judgement" of whether the club put adequate safety preparations into place and executed them appropriately on Sunday. The fine won't be based on how the press have chosen to portray the events. For me the club are just as much to blame as...

Yep, i thought once the referee indicates that the physios can enter the field of play, then that indicates a stoppage for injury (and hence the player has the leave the pitch)

I'm pretty sure it's run by a company called Compass Group. A very successful FTSE 100 enterprise, but they just can't seem to get it right at Molinuex

Nothing yet

Cheers for sharing that. Looks like i didn't quite make the cut then ...

Has anyone spotted where it confirms if you are Member+ or standard Member on the new ticketing website? I think i am probably borderline based on last season's attendance and don't recall seeing an email about this

A completely theoretical/historical question. If events hadn't taken the course they had, and we had ended up with the whole ground constructed like the John Ireland/Steve Bull - would we be in a better or worse situation now (stadium wise)?

Good strategy mate. The youth refs who have started to build up a bit experience/confidence, will have the confidence to not give the v marginal decisions to the "moaners". The local circuits are very small too, so if a player has called you all the names under the sun in a previous match...

The Leeds time-wasting started in the first half. There was an extended stoppage due to an injury towards the end of the half too. But just two mins of added time were granted at that stage of the match. I can completely see what people are/have come to the conclusion that we are simply 'not...
