Absolutely. But as long as I don’t have to watch the slow ritual ahead of a long throw ever again, I’ll take some inconsistency.
If they could do something about the corner kick shenanigans as well, then even better. Like, the attacking team aren’t allowed to have a player inside the six yard box before the corner is taken. Something like that. And start calling fouls for wrestling and shirt grabbing.
Maybe..just maybe..more teams would just.. play football.
A boy can dream.
It will haphazardly be applied during the first 3 match days, then quietly revert to the mean.
We just know that won’t be enforced after a few games (no doubt involving us)
That would be good - although obviously the pushing would go right to the edge of the box.
How difficult is it to use a fucking stopwatch! Then nobody has to guess and there is no bias. The second the ball goes out of play the stopwatch starts.
This doesn’t have to be a VAR fiasco
Still think they should get a chip inserted into the buttock of their choice so you can monitor how long it takes them to get on get off the field and so on. Of course I’m not sating they should have the chip at all times, it should be extracted after the match and re-injected at the start of each match…
I choose yours.
First two weeks…
And then it won’t happen.
Words I seem to have but precise phrases and sentences, less so… well played sir!
I don’t know, it ended up quite poetic. Pretty good considering the starting point.
McKenna is out at Ipswich. He doesn’t appear to be leaving for another job, but just taking a step away and taking a break.
I saw that and immediately thought of the cycle we have seen with promoted teams - club gets promoted by a manager seen as overachieving, club is cautious about spending to consolidate, club struggles with talent gap, club fires manager, club goes down, manager now has a blemish on a CV that looked sparkling a year earlier. Not quite McKenna’s story, he took them up to the PL a couple of years ago as well, but he may just not have had the inclination to take that ride again.
Well his name could have been with Carrick’s for the Man Utd job.
Yeah another season does seem like a hiding to nothing for a guy with seemingly bigger prospects so on the one level I can understand it, but on the other it does kind of look bad.
I assumed McKenna didn’t want another relegation on his resume.
It’s super annoying not having any footie till mid-August - just want the season to start as it seems like a bit of anything is possible season coming up.
Well we start again the week after the world cup ends with freindlies.
I’m not too bothered, distract me with football that doesn’t matter.
Shouldn’t we have a new thread for this?
Fixtures being leaked already, apparently we play Newcastle away in our first game.
