I think it was because he was a really shiit manager

That home game against Rushden. Shithousery at its finest - they were timewasting in the warm up. Us aside, they were the worst team I’d ever seen and hoped they go bust. Pretty sure they did?

They were haranguing the ref to book us after every foul, and trying to stop us from taking free kicks. We should have been in their faces and moaning to the ref after every foul. They nearly kneecapped Byers and we did nothing. They were taking the piiss. It’s time we fought back.

IIRC he was on loan from Newcastle? I think they were insistent we play him as a full back but it was evident he couldn’t defend so we kept playing him right midfield. They recalled him/wouldn’t extend the loan.

Ridiculous. Re-entry should be a condition of the licence to hold the event.

Vaccines in Leeds last night. Bloody loved it.

To be fair, there’s about 6 or 7 that are blatantly dangerous and should have been disallowed. About 5 or 6 that are debatable. The rest had no-one near them so no issue. I do think a lot of overhead kicks are let go because they look spectacular. If someone was wafting their boot around at an opposition’s head in the centre circle it’s a free kick all day.

Can you still get booked for taking your shirt off? That needs to go. Same for jumping into the crowd. In fact, more ostentatious celebrations need encouraging just for the crushing disappointment when VAR rules the goal out.

There’s an argument for handling on the line though, surely? With all the other scenarios there are several elements that could result in the attacker not actually scoring - anything from a dodgy bounce, a trip etc. With handling on the line, I can’t really think of how it wouldn’t be a definite goal without that action. Plus it’s one of the biggest acts of shithousery going.

After the complete dogshit of the last two years I said as soon as The Vaccines released their tour dates I would be in. Booked for Leeds in April, then Tramlines announced they’re in. FFS.

Change handball back to only being an offence if in the opinion of the referee it is deliberate. I don’t care if it hits a defender’s arm on the goal line if he has no idea about it. Similarly if a ball bounces up and hits a striker on the hand before he scores, as long as he doesn’t deliberately do it, I don’t care. Any talk of ‘un-natural positions’ to be a hanging offence.

It’s a good job we don’t have a reputation for completely cocking things up…
