They use that verb when discussing votes at election, don't they? Talking about which way they will break.

Can't remember a time when I wasn't watching Wolves and Liverpool making football look like utter soul draining torture.

What's happening with football, this is dirge.

One of the worst halves from us in ages...and think about how bad we have been this season.

A number of players beyond abysmal really and clear to me one or two sadly need to leave in summer.

Not satisfied with this he's decided to add the All Ireland Hurling title, dominate Summerslam and win the women's singles US Open title as well. All of it blindfolded and in his pants.

(Not betting aginst him by the way)

In a season where so much was bad and poor, that was a good game for Liverpool.

I've never known anyone who was obsessed with immigration who wasn't an out and out loser and an absolute racist bigot.

I'm saying it because it's simply not said enough.

Happy to win that ugly game tonight. Thought we handled the injury time well (not been our strong suit). Lost ANOTHER right back...maybe switch to a back three?!?!

Season has been an ordeal, maybe...maybe we can salvage something.

Missed my point there which is that the pedantic application of the laws even when the on field outcome is absurd does not help the game and undermines the very rules themselves.

It's why referees have always had discretion to 'play advantage'.

Imagine it this way...the score is 0-0 or they are losing 1-0...the ball goes in, but referee disallows the goal just so he can send off the defender.

There is the advantage rule for a reason.

Sure, he should have let it go...game was done...BUT...the ball went in, it was 3-1 (goal difference!?!) and they pompously disallow it just to send Dom off. Imagine it had been 1-1 or still 1-0 to Liverpool.

Worst referees ever.

Yeah I ain't too happy about the officiating in that game.

Will of course end up being told as so often about minute small print laws of the game that meant we absolutely were deservedly robbed of our player to a red card cos reasons (and a bit of UAE hospitality to boot).

But the ball went in. So...how was a goal 'denied'?

...really? I mean...REALLY?

Although...the current rate of escalation does slightly resemble Yugoslavia 1992 in some ways.

France/Germany2026?
Australia2026?
Brazil? China? South Africa? Japan&SouthKorea?

And if you want precedence you only need 1986...which way originally given to Colombia

Honestly...the much better idea than a World Cup 'boycott' is to advocate moving it...or staging an alternative (in Europe or wherever). All those who qualified invited and fuck FIFA's threats cos if the big boys move on...Infantino's got nothing.

I have no idea what we are trying to do on the pitch.

I have no idea what they are doing off the pitch.

We just should not be in this much of a hole. And I don't trust Slot/Hughes/Edwards know how to climb out.

Selling Robbo now and also saying we are not planning any signings is verging on sabotage.

Have not been super impressed by the 'Super Brains' at the top of the club frankly.

Always found it deeply weird and a bit fash to have the national anthem sung before every domestic sports league game...but to stage one of those games in ANOTHER country and then STILL insist on singing it...?

Weird with a beard.

And yeah, leave Greenland alone, fat fuckers.

Does he really care *that* much? I doubt it.

But would be cool if we all declared that we would hold the tournament here and just invite all the qualifiers over to Europe and tell Infantino to go to hell. Won't change anything but would be better.

Stories like this keep underlining the worrying fact that the people who deploy and utilise 'AI' do not actually understand what it *is*.

Most of that is down to the insane hype put around it, but when you do understand what it is...stuff like this is kind of obvious.

I liked how we were today. Didn't look as far off as the table suggests. Gutted for Bradley at the end and hoping it isn't an ACL.

Of course if they sign it over then he will withdraw that assistance anyway. And if decided to just take it by force there's absolutely fuck all 'Europe' can do about it anyway.

Didn't deserve to win it...but my God it is gutting that we didn't. Nothing you can reasonably do about that 30 yard thunderfucker, but so much of today was so poor.

Slot's credit is running very, dangerously low.

Arsenal next and then the Barnsley game which very much looks like a game that will trigger a sacking.
