It must get a bit boring when you keep winning everything
. Not that there is much opposition in Scottish football. Celtic's European exploits haven't exactly set the world alight, so maybe he wants a tilt in a league where there is some semblance of quality opposition, and of course the money might be a factor.

Probably bang on but some people might be surprised by this but I am sorry to see a guy of his standing leave, especially so close to the end of the season. I won't comment on the potential for more bad press at tonight's game.It must get a bit boring when you keep winning everything

Never a penalty. The defender did nothing wrong.

So much for VAR getting rid of controversial decisions. So many are just a matter of opinion.
Stop trying to sanitise the game to perfection which is impossible and get rid of it, it wastes too much time.

You wouldn't have beaten us twice anyway, Fylde won't be wanting to play us in the semi final the form we are in

The problem isn't VAR, it's the numpties in charge of it.

Handball can be subjective, because not every instance where hand and ball make contact counts as an infringement. Similar with fouls, there is no clear cut definition of when physical contact crosses the line from acceptable to illegal. And if you've never heard studio pundits arguing furiously about whether someone was actually offside or not after viewing thirteen different angles of replay...

I think VAR is a big step forward - might not be perfect and won't eliminate wrong decisions entirely but it has to be better than the countless wrong decisions that referees have made over the years.
Doesn't bother me if it takes a while to make a decision - I've been to enough matches over the years where there have been reasonably lengthy delays due to feigned injuries, player squabbles, players arguing with ref's etc. Can't see where the odd VAR delay is going to make any difference at all.

As I said, the numpties in charge are the problem.

A similar incident happened when City played Schalke , arguably the ball was going towards the goal, the ref went to VAR, amazingly the video could not be viewed by ref the screen went off , tech prob , so decision was made off the pitch , goes it was awarded , back of arm as defender turned

A Birmingham City fan has punched a Villa player.
What an idiot and coward. Hope he goes to prison for that assault.
