The Premier League has disqualified Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich as a director of the club after the oligarch was sanctioned by the UK government.
PL acting swiftly as ever.
I wonder how Chelsea fans and Lewis will take the news?
Me and the bombed out starving people of Yemen have got questions.
I reckon if the ball trickles wide of the post there the keeper is off.
How on earth is that not a red card?
Just kicks him in the chest, ball way gone already. Genuinely no idea. Not even a yellow.
From the livetext it reads as if the Afcon Bros are back to not passing it to each other again.
Yeah they are and it's annoying. Liverpool would be 3 up if they could. Klopp seen screaming pass the ball at Salah says enough.
Dias quickly becoming our best striker is great to see
Some more great Championship refereeing. Seems to be the only way we lose right now. This decision is particularly awful though.
Lallana off 6 minutes after coming on ffs.
Hate seeing those given with a player so close, but under the new rules its a slam dunk.
Very strange game that. Seemed like between minutes 5-85, Brighton forgot how to play. Liverpool never got going either and there were 3/4 times there was an easy tap in for someone if they squared the ball but kept it and went themselves.
Need a 0-0 today.
He may not be able to run much, but probably not the best idea to back off and let Ronaldo shoot unopposed from 20 yards.
How has Lewis not posted about Pogba's head yet?
Baldp Ogba. Is it making him play any better?
He's got a very shiny head.
Aside from taking a decent freekick, I reckon the best counter to the modern phenomenon of the wall draft excluder strategy is to aim at the hand of the draft excluder and then try to get a penalty.
Shit, didn't realise they'd got a pen whilst I typed that. Pretty rubbish decision/rule. Don't see how that is at all different to the Dier one really.
lolenham lolspurs
Dier’s hands were in a natural position Telles literally punched it away
The draft excluder is a complete waste of a man. I recall precisely one goal in the last 30 years that went under the wall.
They were both away from the body about the same amount, and I would say natural given what they were doing. Dier's were behind him as he was lunging whereas Telles' was in a running stance. Maybe the cross was from a bit further away/hit less hard than Ronaldo's shot but I don't know. Just feels like if you freeze frame it they both looked like they were somewhat away from the body, but neither above the shoulder/at a point where it is a de facto handball under the current interpretation.
Yeah, natural
Pogbald surely.
They were both giveable, sort of thing that VAR will neither give nor rule out, so just a coin toss really. The handball rule is obviously fucking retarded though.
What a plur
Gateshead took another win today. 4-2 against Gloucester. I also didn't clock that Steve Watson had left York to go to Chester. He keeps ditching teams in play-off contention. He did it with us, dropped down a league to York and now he's joined wrong end of the table Chester.
He'll never reach binman status with that attitude.
Hope his representatives have the apology pre written at this stage.
Ralf should really be moving him up the pitch. I wouldn't want that head anywhere near home base.
He's an absolute fucking plum.
Ronaldo
Tom Brady loving it.
Give Ronaldo a 4 year deal.
And a licence to rape.
Isn't that just 'enough money'?
People started doing it after there were quite a few freekicks scored under the wall in a short space of time and it's never gone away.
I've always thought the entire wall should go, let alone be added to by some dick playing dead behind it like the kid trying not to get bullied by the bigger boys.
What a beast.Ronaldo
I'm a twit
I used to play with a keeper(I’m aware it’s not the same standard) but he never had a wall. His basic thought was if someone spanks it top corner from there then wall or no wall he’s not saving it.
Cuts out the risk of being done by a deflection. He might be on to something.
Maguire is a fucking donkey, but what a beast Ronaldo is.
You’re not wrongMaguire is a fucking donkey, but what a beast Ronaldo is.
I’m bought into this line of thinking. At this point, though, I’d pick the person with the cojones to sack all the time wasters before pre-season even started.
On the no wall subject, pretty sure Ronaldo's opener shows you why you need to have one. Unless you have some other sort of wacky plan to keep the ball out of the net [men on the line?] then any halfway decent professional footballer is going to be able to launch the ball into the top corner at an unsaveable pace if you give them a free shot from 25 yards, never mind top top set piece takers. Just imagine how many more Ronaldo himself would have had if he hadn't spent an entire career smashing it into the wall/stand?
Probably works quite well as a theory in amateur football [as does not moving from penalties until they are struck] because the pace at which the ball is hit is nowhere near the same.
Here's a thought: Bielsa.
PSG fans booing Neymar and Messi every time they get the ball. You love to see it.
Messi must be loving life. Why didn't he just take a pay cut and stay at Barcelona?
He should have known from his time with Argentina that he is dogshit anywhere that isn't Barcelona.
