Angst please.

 Well according to the players, our pitch is mid table medocrity

And atmosphere is 9th...

 Two songs, we've only got two songs...

Transition year FFS.  I suppose we shouldn't forget that Ricki's only had 4 years to get this squad together...FROM NOTHING I TELL YOU, NOTHING!

And one of those is out of fucking tune.

I see we resorted to the Durante chant a few times, even though he wasn't playing. 

Get off the grass you lot! 

It IS a transition year..Ricki is talking about his own transition,  from his current role. Sheesh! .Get with the programme. Or song sheet, if you prefer.

Speaking of which, I thought it was strange we were singing the Dura song on Sunday too.. and with that wind blowing it was really hard to hear any of the chants on Sunday, tbh.

Just fwiw... I was sitting over the other side for the first game (when you sung the whole Du Du Durante chant) and it turns out that "just can't get enough" sounds suspiciously like "just can't get it up" from a distance. I was starting to think that YF had picked up a sponsorship with viagra...

bump...referring 2nite.

This is about to go OFF.

Damn I'm tired of having nothing to angst about

angst

I think I killed it.

SO MUCH FUCKING ANGST. After watching the game I got drunk and watched the Lion King, and not even that could cheer me up. I'm THAT FUCKING ANGSTY. 

Wow

I just burnt my toast.

FUCK YOU JARRED GILLETT! Why didn't you just tell me to fall over when I walked past the toaster the 1st time, then none of this would have happened!

Should the FFA be allowed to throw money away on a guy like Shinji Ono, where instead they could be spending it on the referees.

I remember Paul Ifill talking about how when he first came over here, the biggest thing that surprised him was the amateur referees  and once we sort them then I think we will have a bit more credibility

Angst coverage this week:

1. Proficiency of match officials

2. Integrity of players and ability to not be a diver/cheat/liar

3. Should YF pay Dura's fine?

It's good to be back!

How dare the Fever use their own money to pay for Dura's fine instead of buying new flags!

Nothing is more important than flags!!

TiFo is fUlY sIK!

FLOG!

Piss off with your bell bottoms!

Hippies.

All the diving, contentious offsides, goals not given and bad penalty decisions could be solved in one swoop - allow the captain of each team to demand a video referee decision on any contentious decision. If a referee isn't sure then he makes the same call. You could allow each captain to make this call only three times per game so as not to take up too much time. This would solve all issues with bad calls - as is does with League. It's so obvious and simple it's mind boggling that Fifa is still stuck in the 19th Century and refuses to solve the issue of bad calls ruining games. This isn't about reason, this is about prejudice.

Isn't about delays in play as much as anything?

One of the joys of football is that we get value for money for our 90 minute game unlike the stop strt sports that live on the video officials.

Not to mention that video refs in various sports get their decisions wrong with a fair amount of frequency.

I've just had lunch, and I'm still hungry! That angsty enough for you? Huh?

I think video refs arent the answer, however I wonder if there could be a way linesmen could have a signal which means play on but there is a suspicion of offside. If a goal is scored during that sequence then they could video check to see if they are offside and reverse goal is necessary. 

This would promote the attacking side, and would only mean a stop in play if there is a goal scored - where there is already a break anyway

If ref, linesmen and 4th official are all miked up, there's no reason why a video "referee" couldn't be in there as well. The AR could just talk to the video guy.

Edit: Woops wrong thread
