    Match Thread Coventry City - Derby County Match Thread - Wednesday 6th Nov

    It's nothing to do with arrogance. It's taught my the FA/Observers. It's also because the referee decides the tolerance in the game not the AR. It's also to protect the lino's in two ways firstly from any flak from fans/players (rightly or wrongly that one) and then secondly as despite them...

    Match Thread Coventry City - Derby County Match Thread - Wednesday 6th Nov

    This is a common misconception I hear spouted a lot, the referees have Comms, and the instruction has been to let referees make the decision. Even if a lino sees a foul, unless they believe it isn't going to be given they aren't going to flag, they may have a word in the ear though, it is a...

    Match Thread Coventry City v Manchester United - FA Cup Semi-Final

    Tbf I'm not sure there is an argument for a change away from binary on or off-side. The other options would be to add an arbitrary distance to it which would still present the same problem of 'its only a toenail over that distance' and then the other way would be a subjective 'clear advantage...

    I see jodi Jones has fractured his shin so is out till the new year. Shame for him.

    Referee

    It's an interesting one Pete. I love it at the the grassroots level. Think it works well whenever it's used properly. But speaking to some of the top level premier league officials at recent conferences they seem very divided on it, and by in large I would say more are against it rather than...

    Attendance

    Intrigued to why you think every game sells out? I think we would sell out a lot more but not every game I don't think. We couldn't sell out against spurs in the cup just a few weeks ago. A top 6 team, at home. Of course that was mainly put down to prices but I will bet it will be...

    Championship thread 24/25!

    Carrick does have them well drilled. However, we do seem to be a bit of a boggy team for Boro under him. They haven't beaten us since he took over.

    Because the game is officiated in the stadium not at St George's. You are clearly just on one looking to moan about it today.

    Ball carrying centre halves

    What's Thomas doing? Why are sheaf and Eccles so far away, with no pressure on a midfielder in the centre of the park 25 yards from goal? You are very quick to blame one player. But i think the bigger issue is a player being able to pick that pass so easily.

    Ball carrying centre halves

    How is binks at fault for the second? The entire team fucked it especially with zero pressure on the ball.

    Lati appreciation thread

    Spot on. I like his attitude and he's one of the few leaders we have, but I think he's one of the more obvious players we need to upgrade.

    WRIGHT and SIMMS through the middle

    It's one of Simms actual strengths that's why it worked yesterday. I mentioned on the ratings thread. That technically Simms is quite poor, however his physicality and aerial ability are good, and we should really look to utilise them more than we do.

    Luton player ratings

    Stand out players were Wright, Milan, sheaf and Binks. Simms did some bits very well and some bits awfully. He is technically quite poor but his physical attributes make him a threat at this level and a great header for the goal. Good save from Dovin when the game was level. Think we need...

    Match Thread Coventry City - Luton Town Match Thread - Saturday 26th Oct

    Tbf... Roy O'Donovan also used to score constantly in the warm up... But I agree Torp needs more game time said it before the QPR game
