I agree absolutely but problem is it gets really hard for most people to objective about stuff they love/hate. just look at you and Chelsea Grin

Sorry had to take that jab

There should be some kind of way for ref to admit that and that doesn't screw with his career. This way nobody is crazy to do it.

The only difference between our two is my emotions and love for Chelsea will not affect outcome of our games. Thanks for the jab Grin

The best way to prevent favouritism is for FiFa to rotate these officials every season. Italian and French referees go to England; Spanish and English referees go to the French league, and so on.

BUT at the same time, I would personally declare that I can't referee any game in Spain. Ask cricket people to referee football and football people to referee cricket. This is my final solution Wink

Referee aren't robots but are humans too so they're going to have their emotions get in the way sometimes but they're professional so they should try to keep things professional to the best of their strength.

A ref having few mistake is no biggie but when it become repeated and a pattern then they have no excuse and should be punished. Maybe you're on to something right there, referee of other sports should ref other sports lol. I can't just imagine how chaotic this decision will be.

But on a serious note there are things that can be done to reduced the ref bias that we see in games. All refs should be interviewed and they should get to know which team they support so they don't get to refs such matches.

Well here we are in another boring international break as I long for the return of club football. A trip to Southampton for Slot’s men upon the return. Should be another 3 points but this is a tough league.

There are no other matches besides the UEFA Nation League... We have to enjoy this match, because it's too boring with a two-week break.

Going to Southampton should not be difficult, this team is quite weak until now only collected 4 points, Liverpool should have no obstacles to get 3 points.

Did you hear about the news for one of the referees in Premier League David Coote and his drug powder snorting scandal?
He is known for hating Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool so maybe you know about him.

Yes I heard about referee David Coote in the video, he is suspended and under investigation.
Can't imagine if Liverpool win this season, maybe David Coote will be hot. Grin

All referees hate some clubs. All football fans hate one or two or more clubs. Its okay to say it, I hate Real Madrid. I don't think we should punish people so badly for having passion.

BUT at the same time, I would personally declare that I can't referee any game in Spain. Ask cricket people to referee football and football people to referee cricket. This is my final solution Wink

Isn't it just better to swap countries? I mean if you are big United supporter and you hate Liverpool you shouldn't be refereeing in England but why not trying your luck in Germany or Spain. Those that are passionate about some clubs usually keep it on just few clubs. You can't really hate 10 clubs there is only capacity for 1 or maybe 2 Grin

He gets paid to keep matches balanced and to ensure that his decisions do not affect the outcome of the game; his emotions and affection for certain clubs are secondary and should be kept to himself; his job does not allow for that. BTW, he never claimed he hated Liverpool; he simply hates Klopp for reasons known to him, but Klopp is no longer with us.

Anthony Taylor Next...

Hehe yeah its been old news already.

Personally, I support what Roy Keane said.

So it seems the hearing for the Man City charges are concluding this month. Not that we'll get any decision as City are sure to appeal (the news seems to suggest they are about to be found guilty on a whole lot of the charges) to drag this out over the season end. I have a dumb bet on City relegation so heh, that's out the window.

Quote from: Igebotz on November 13, 2024, 03:35:49 PM

Isn't it too early for title contention discussion? We still have Brighton and Nottingham forest occupying important slots on the table.

Always too early. Remember City even look in trouble as late as January and February before mounting a spree of wins. City, Arsenal, hopefully Liverpool are all capable of these 8/9/10 game winning streak so it's too early. Always has been in November, always will be.

It's my first season and the flavors are still far from what I expected... Lol the rankings are too far to chase despite having a little knowledge of Premier League matches still guessing the score is a difficult thing... back to luck to get a lot of points.

I've relied on prediction score sites on various platforms but the results are still bad... hahaha I know the luck factor might be influential. Cheesy

Yeah it’s very tough, we can look at the odds for each game and see what pundits think but often they know just as much as us which is nothing Cheesy

They will need to report for duty to be accessed by the National medical team and if they pull out from the beginning they may not get reviewed at all. This is not a habit any player can make however as it could lead to them not getting any call ups at all.

Not sure if any of them will resign, it's a chance for them even though they are tired of so many fixtures, but it's true that if players resign without a clear reason, they could potentially not be called up in the World Cup competition later.

He met with Amorim earlier this week, and the result was that Ruud would not be staying. Amorim did not grant him a spot. Carrick was treated the same way after ETH came in. Amorim will be available for the Ipwish game.

I think he has been working with the same backroom staff since his Braga days and after building a working formula fitting in RVN will be a difficult task to do. There is also the risk of egos colliding.

It is not so early, more than a quarter of the season has already passed and there have been regular contenders for a couple of seasons now. Nottingham will need to perform for much longer to insert themselves into the discussion for a top 4 spot. Brighton I think are in a position they can easily finish in come end of the season.

Well apparently, he won't necessarily start the Ipswich game according to some updates about his contract. And if that contract's signed though, it means they can't actually change their mind about RvN even if they thought he was doing something, no? But hey, they can screw themselves deeper for all I care Wink

Only difference is that Chelsea are not title contenders, at least not yet, so the point would not mean as much. I would expect Liverpool in the form they are in to take all three points from the Bridge, so in the title race it is 2 points lost, more than 1 point gained.

If the players can avoid joining their national teams then they will be happy with the long time they have to rest.

Man so good to see many English players injured for internationals. Hope that starves the contest of quality, then we get them booted out in the end (fancy wishing I know won't happen!!).

Not saying that is what they are doing, but as the matches get to crunch in harder we may see more players feign injuries close to the break to avoid joining the National squads and getting a 2-week period of rest before club football returns.

I would say some of them are even doing in on 'advice' of their club doctors. I know how it works. Sometimes in the past I would go to a doctor just to get medicine for a sickness, and doctor will say I work too long. He can give medical leave, for 2 days or even 3 days.

So I know I can get it, and tell my company, and even it is true I am sick. But I know I can work, just with medicine and lozenge.

So it is not like the players are faking injuries, it is real, but doctors are more inclined to protect the player, than the country.

But nobody will complain here anyway, both employer and employee gain

Guys dont curse me again hahahaha.

I still remember ended up second two seasons ago one point behind after being the leader for a few rounds, and in the last season i was at top also a few round and ended up the season in a horrible way and out of any price position.

And now here we are again...... Cheesy

I would never curse you my fellow Latin futbol bro from another mom, but you have to share your gains with me lol

I would take 2nd and 3rd place any day if it means I get it in many pools, but to lose everything after just the last few rounds is a terrible curse. GL this time Wink
