**** sake

Well, it's factual if you have a frame exactly as the ball makes contact with the player playing it. But we don't have that, and a lot of things can change between frames (see Diaby goal last week). 60fps, with a stationary defender and an attacker running at full pelt means there's a good 15cm+ of movement between frames. Double that if the defender is playing an offside trap and moving in a direction opposite to that of the attacker. Given that, it's not a factual decision like they claim it is. Edit to add: this is discounting the utter nonsense these days of whether a player is active, or whether it was a different 'phase', both of which are entirely subjective and seem to change on a weekly basis.

Ah well, we'll learn from that and batter them at home instead. Long way to go in the groups lads. -

You're an idiot not to book if you had any intention of going. Free cancellation is a thing.- 386 replies

Not necessarily if they keep taking the piss.
-
Does that include the ones that are moved due to Europa/Conference on the Sunday?
-
It's craftily worded with 'food and drinks as part of the package', but my assumption is that it's just access to food and drink, and there's an all-you-can-eat buffet. Theyd make a far bigger deal of it if it was fully all-inclusive.
-
It doesn't say drinks included.

This season I kept the ST (after a lot of deliberation), but am missing the Everton game. Bought the reasonably priced European games, and will probably go to any other matches as it's a novelty. Next season I'll save myself a grand+ and spend more Saturdays with my kid - year on year price rises are noticeable, but mostly just feel like I'm not wanted anymore. Be sad to lose it as it's a great seat. Maybe I'll start going again when we're shit again, I'm not cut out for following a 'successful' club (if you class finishing 7th once as success). It'd be nice to bow out with a trophy, it's been a while.

It's be interesting to see where we'd have ended up without the useless local fan when we were playing utter shite under Lambert and then in the Championship. Because they sure as shit wouldn't have sold many fancy bollocks packages.
-
That'd be nice, just don't think there's the demand round there that makes it viable, they'd only really have custom 20-25 days a year.
-
Thanks for reporting OBE. Sounds increasingly like my sort aren't wanted anymore. God forbid the normal fan should get somewhere to sit and have a drink before or after the game.

The lower Holte options have improved the chances of getting a drink, but two annoyances from Saturday. First, my old man pre-ordered a pint and the machine said there was a printer error. He called over help who got him to order again when fixed. He said he's already paid for it, but there's a printer error. The staff insisted he won't have been charged. Guess what, charged twice. I went the other way to the self-service thing which worked great, except it seems that it charges you a quid just for entry! I know it's only a quid, but again it's just an extra bit of taking the piss. Makes a pint £6.80 or something.
-
Coming soon, toilets that aren't flooded with piss, only £25 a game with a special commemorative wristband.
-
Never understood why the bars don't open after full time, even for 30-60 minutes. I'm sure a good few people would stay and have a pint, not like you're getting anywhere fast at that time.
-
I don't think a midfield duo of Tielemans and Dendoncker would be any disrespect to the competition in fairness. We're going to need to rotate a bit, and they're two expensive Belgian internationals.
-
Always said there needs to be more offerings to get people there before and after the game, but was thinking more like a semi-permanent marquee or two on the car parks with a few tellies and a bar, which everyone could access. Build up a bit of atmosphere. There's nothing for the regular fan at the moment, just shit beer, shit service and crumbling facilities. I just think the current owners are taking this massive demand as a given - this is the exception, not the rule. For most of the last 30odd years I've been going we've struggled to sell out. The numbers are soft if the football goes south again, and doubly so if you price out half the city.
-
If it's a new facility I don't give a shit. But like taking away half the upper concourses, they're just taking what we've already got and charging through the nose for it, leaving less for the normal fans. Pay more, get less.
-
£70!! What a joke. So the plan is to gouge some people for all they're worth, then stick the rest of our prices up for worse and worse facilities. Almost look forward to when we're shit again and struggling to get 10,000 through the gate because they've driven all the long-haulers away.
-
Don't mind rivers of piss if they charge rivers of piss prices.
-
Lower holte bog floors were an inch deep in piss too. They really need to address the facilities, rather than charge more and more and make it shitter. Non-flooding toilets is a pretty simple thing to have surely, we had them in previous years. And yes, I think we're all getting a bit pickier with the facilities,but that's what happens when you start charging serious money. Edit, so I guess my question is, do we just need to accept scum-class facilities now, or are the club going to do something about it?
-
Ref was looking at that penalty decision for us today for 2-3 minutes. Now to me 'clesr and obvious' means if you see it once at full speed, you'll see the error. It's absolute bullshit. And it's just happened again for the Newcastle handball. It was a harsh handball, but it's hit his hand, so how is it a clear and obvious error? It's a subjective decision. We're back to where we were at the start of this farce, of VAR trying to referee matches again. If we're gonna do that, let's just **** the bloke in the middle off and be honest about it. Absolute joke, ruining the game.
-
Ref's a **** word removed.

Bit of a piss take price considering how many times we got the first home cup match free but never actually got to use it since we crashed out on our first away tie, plus the Stevenage nonsense last year, on top of £100 on prices for a ST this year. I and my bunch won't be going.

I like him a lot. Direct, powerful with a hell of a strike on him. Seems a decent finisher too. Always excited to see him play.
