You look into the rules and it’s soon apparent why, but by calling it ‘financial FAIR PLAY’ it sounds as if it should be a leveller rather than a margin. Edit - beaten to it above Guess I was too optimistic at the world of football trying to level the playing field Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have stopped this discussion elsewhere as there is people out there who think if you dont support the movement then it must mean you are (a) racist and (b) dont believe racism exists. Apologies for being slow to reply, I have a posting restriction and had met my quota for the day. I don’t recall calling you racist? Anyhoo I’ll maybe take a look in another thread. PS @Mark could you please see fit to lifting my restrictions? I have very little life at the best of times but during lockdown I’m even more pathetic and FoxesTalk is a fun outlet. I can’t really see why I have a restriction in the first place? If you could lift my ban that would be great. Sorry for asking in a post but I’ve messaged you three times without reply.

Clubs like Bayern, Real Madrid and Barcelona actively sought to seek changes to stop clubs like Chelsea, Man City and PSG from taking over their dominant positions in their respective leagues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peach0000 Posted 5 July 2020 Share Posted 5 July 2020 I really feel like Bournemouth were a little hard done by, VAR questionably never showed the lines for two of Man Utds offsides only for BT to show one of them clearly was offside. Also the handball for the penalty was questionable but then again so was Bournemouths. It's a perfect example of a game where VAR was used poorly.

Simply an observation, but since football returned has anybody seen a match where there hasn't been a BAME pundit? Also, I didn't recognise the co-commentator yesterday and heard at HT it was Efan Ekoku. Now I don't recall ever hearing him on do commentary/punditry for Sky, but even if he has what connection does he have to either team? Or is it only Liverpool and Man Utd that get fans on co-commentary? Atleast Jamie Redknapp is involved in a variety of matches and clearly has an understanding of all teams, he's good to listen to. You know there's a top 6 clash when Sky drag out Neville/Carragher/Souness/Roy Keane (who is an absolutely pathetic pundit, his rant at Maguire/De Gea the other week was embarrasing). I doubt those four (maybe discluding Carragher) could even name all 20 PL clubs. Edited 5 July 2020 by Walkers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The punditry did get a bit silly when we were told did not how good Perreira was until he got injured. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with what you're suggesting, minus your point on Redknapp who I genuinely don't think is capable of adding an intelligent word. Wasn't a fan of the guy on co-comms, thought a lot of what they added was fairly pointless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has done a few of our games on sky (not the live ones ) and he’s a decent co- commentator fwiw, I don’t believe that co comms should have a foot in either camp - it was embarrassing to hear carragher pleading for decisions in Everton’s favour on Wednesday! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
