The_Rorab Posted 26 August 2019 Share Posted 26 August 2019 Personally, I quite enjoy having some other clubs' fans around the place - it gives an interesting perspective on things I don't always follow - the only downside is that it causes some posters to try to out-WUM each other 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post UniFox21 Posted 26 August 2019 Popular Post Share Posted 26 August 2019 Having just watched MOTD2 and listened to Shearer and Crouch talk about the penalty decision, I think VAR made the right decision. The disagreement over the decision itself means it wasn't a clear and obvious error, therefore VAR got it right. VAR is there to pick up wrong decisions, not re-ref the game. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albeit, we didn't park the bus per se, and obviously weren't useless, but everything you're slamming Wolves doing stylistically is stuff we used to do. I'm not a huge fan of Wolves, but I don't think they just park the bus or play shit football anyway, so I've got to say I disagree with you on all fronts bar preferring to be a Leicester fan. Oh jog on pal. Sorry I don't like your beloved Wolves.

You scored a massive 4 goals more than us last season, and you have 1 more than us so far this season under that attacking mastermind Rodgers. #busparkers Our defence conceded 12 goals less too, so clearly we have a good balance and don't just defend. That's why we aren't getting restless and why we won't be turning on Nuno any time soon. Playing twice a week now the league season has started is what is hampering our performances. Yesterday we looked lacklustre, same as against you. Still haven't lost yet though, same as you. Sorry if the above caused offence the Bear, I admit it was strongly worded. You're a decent bloke by all accounts and a valued poster on here, but I do think this whole idea that Wolves play sparking football is an utter myth, every time I have seen Wolves they are a very negative defensive team and it can work vs teams that attack, but its never going to work when playing lower half sides who don't come out and leave space. And ultimately I think as expectations rise people will turn on Nuno. Unless he can prove he is able to have a plan B vs the defensive sides. Sorry. You do make a valid point about the fatigue etc but then again Wolves also had the same issues, a lot of dropped points vs defensive sides at home last year so I'd say its a recurring problem for yous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah mate it ain't defensive it's just how Wolves play. Nuno has created this new brand of football that looks the pits but it's actually genius and therefore only geniuses can understand it 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KFS Posted 26 August 2019 Share Posted 26 August 2019 Early days but isn’t what we all thought would happen to Wolves actually happening? Big boys misfiring and the ‘best of the rest’ pack slow to start; this could be a great year for us. My biggest concern is that there isn’t a clear run in our fixtures. For every relegation/ mid table encounter, we go to a top 6 team the week after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You lot on here like to think that because I defend the point we are purely a defensive side who just put men behind the ball. Yesterday was our third game in seven days. Any team will struggle to perform to anywhere near their best with that schedule. Edited 26 August 2019 by The Bear 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For every relegation/ mid table encounter, we go to a top 6 team the week after. I like the fact our fixture list is mixed. It focuses the mind and they should be less complacency if they know a bigger match it next up. It should make us more hungry to win against lesser teams too. And, again, I say, the only two teams we should be worried about this season are Man City and Liverpool. The rest are very beatable. I'm sure they are just as worried about us as we are them, maybe even more so because they will still be seen as favourites to beat us. We should certainly be aiming for top 6 this season whilst the other so called 'big 4' go through transitional periods with managers who have basically won nothing in the P/L.

Popular Post UniFox21 Posted 26 August 2019 Popular Post Share Posted 26 August 2019 Fair play to Andros for backing up young there. Football these days is too fast to take the piss out of players.

That just sums up Zaha doesn't it. Always one extra touch, always take one one extra player. He had a 2 or 3 opportunities to cross that or offload the ball. Completely pointless player made for the YouTube generation does amazing thing every trn games and people think he's amazing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I presume you are referring to the penalties that were not given - these were referee decisions, and although probably penalties were not clear and obvious errors- which it has to be to overturn a decision by the referee. And it was such an error that led to Zouma's "goal" when Krul was clearly fouled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly millimetre offside goals (including immediate play beforehand( have been disallowed - wrongly in my opinion as I have expalined in VAR thead. And of course the difference between these decisions is it is considered it is a question of fact (similar to whether the ball has crossed the line) compared to interpretatin as to whether or not a foul has been comitted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post The Bear Posted 26 August 2019 Popular Post Share Posted 26 August 2019 (edited) The screens currently just show very simple messages leading fans to not knowing what is being checked. "VAR Check" "Goal Disallowed" Is it really that hard to add the reason for the check? "Checking penalty for foul/handball" "Checking offside" "Checking accidental handball" It'd make things a lot more informative for people, and it's so simple to implement. The guy in the VAR booth just selects the appropriate message Yesterday Pawson waited around whilst they checked Wolves' penalty. When the check was complete a cheer went up but there was no message on screen and no real signal from the ref, he just walked back towards the spot nodding and talking to the players. Is it really that difficult to put a message up saying "Check Complete, Decision Stands" or something like that? And for the ref to blow his whistle when he gets the ok in his ear, and re-point to the spot to confirm the decision? It all seems very simple stuff to keep fans at the grounds in the loop and sure of what's happening, yet it seems to be seat of your pants, your guess is as good as mine stuff at the minute. It's really letting the system down. Edited 26 August 2019 by The Bear 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
