Official Matchday 22 - Forest vs Arsenal - 30th January 2024, 19.30

[TurfT]

Brian Moore was an absolute legend. A superb commentator, loved his football, and followed his local club, Gillingham, who named their Fanzine Brian Moore‘s Head looks like the London Planetarium in his honour.

Have grown up with Brian‘s work on ITV, he was brilliant, and a worthy compatriot to the BBC‘s Barry Davies (who - as I have posted before - is the absolute Don of commentators).

A Half Man Half Biscuit line from 'Dickie Davies Eyes' me thinks

Shit loads of daytrippers there last night who'd clearly never been a game before.

Probably only there for the Arsenal

Surely not a shit load of heroic season ticket holders giving their tickets away for this one?

 

[Cortez the Killer]

As an American I am sickened by Turner's mistake. I apologize.

What was interesting is on the American broadcast the announcer (can't recall who it was) said VAR wasn't even looking at the correct part of the Toffolo foul in the box, which felt intentional. Then he said on Taiywo's goal that the VAR replay took so long because they were searching for reasons to disallow rather than to confirm an on field decision.

Found his comments jarring and honest, frankly.

If only the British media were so honest.

The idea of Refs being bias against us doesn't surprise me, we've complained about refs loads of times and they're definitely a petty group.

 

[sammy the snake]

Oh dear, the day we didn't give Samba wh

Slept on it, still dont want to see the keeper or right back play for us again.... both brain dead and shit footballers.

Lodi makes Montiel look very championship

It's not "fudging" it's a standard way of capturing AET results. Good luck trying to get a bookie to pay out on a win-bet if your selected team won in extra-time not in the normal 90. You'd get a pay-out if you'd gone for "draw" though.

And I've personally used the same method for decades, it has nothing to do with trying to make Nuno's results look worse than they are.

We're not talking about the bookies. We're talking about actual results. So going by your 'rules' if we end up winning the FA Cup with every game going to extra time, it doesn't count as winning it and Nuno will have zero victories in the FA Cup.

Not one football fan would be leaving a game that they've just watched and won in extra time would be classing it as not a win. It's farcical to suggest that.

It's probably more that the refs are afraid to upset the bigger teams who have the bigger name managers.
And also the refs who are making the decisions aren't even on the pitch and I'm sure there is a bias at times

There is an Under The Cosh with Jeff Winter and he said when he gave a decision (penalty IIRC) against Utd at Old Trafford he never refereed another top 6 game for several years afterwards and that it was almost impossible for that to happen unless there were hands at work.

He said refs daren't give decisions against the big clubs for fear of losing those games to ref like him in the future.

Good pod to listen to actually

 

[T.B.T.]

I work with a Spurs fan, an Arsenal fan and a Newcastle fan and first thing this morning they all said ‘you need a new keeper’.

They’ll be regretting that when we keep clean sheets from here on whilst Taiwo is banging them in at the other end.

It's not hard to understand. Why did the game go to extra time? Because the FULL TIME RESULT was a draw.

You can win a tie whilst drawing the full time result. Win percentages for managers also use full time result rather than end outcome in their calculations. Just because you can't comprehend it doesn't mean it's wrong.

And yes, you can still win the cup by drawing every full time result.

but these days it is becoming very blatant.. :-(

I can comprehend what you're saying, but I'm saying its bollocks. No one in football be it fans or experts classes winning a game in extra time as a drawn match. We all know most betting firms settle bets in relation to 90 minutes played, but thats at the discretion of that particular betting firm.

Also check Nuno's win ratio on wikipedia regarding number of games won.

We'll agree to disagree. I don't think Wikipedia is a good example to source given absolutely anyone can change the details on a whim.

I learned that after a Swansea based car salesman tried to pass himself off as a successful business magnate with a girlfriend who wasn't the size of a house.

I can’t find another website that has Nunos stats for Forest, that’s why I used Wikipedia.

Transfermarkt have him as three wins from eight, because a win is a win obviously.

What really pissed me off tonight was a guy on the back row in Upper Bridgeford U2 with his son who was blatantly an arsenal fan then proceeded to record the arsenal players celebrating after both goals he did the right thing having his son with him as it stopped me telling him to get the f*** out but it properly wound me up

You should still have e had a word in my opinion. I'd have gone with "2 minutes and I'm outing you to a steward.3 minutes and I'm outing you to this lit, now f*** off quietly".
It's bang out if fukcing order to buy home tickets as an away fan.

Should be banned if so.

Fair enough, just crush the old man's bollocks to stop the silly cnut from having anymore kids.
