Ok. Well I can't deal with that amount of paranoia. I'm going on what my brother in law is saying, and his integrity is not to be questioned.
Paranoia? I can still hear the screams from watching a video of a group police murdering a defenceless man. Not one of them try to stop one another, however they do try and stop or should I say intimidate someone to stop recording them. You can hear from the squeals they've damaged his brain yet they don't even take him to hospital straight away, instead putting him in a cell. If that was in America we'd be bending a knee. Over here it's hard to even find when googling.
It's no one off either, it's institutional. Look at any video on Facebook, Twitter or wherever isn't controlled by the billionaires/government, our police are no better than gangs, if not worse.
Since you know someone, ask them how often there are delays as the officers are too lazy or thick when making requests to judges. Your average officer doesn't know, nevermind understand, the laws they are supposed to be enforcing/following.

I'd take nearly any centre mid at the moment as at least it knocks Sigurdsson and Gomes down the pecking order, or better yet out the door.

Some of them are a disgrace. Most are not.
A lot more than some. If one kicks another will follow. How often do you see an officer stop another one for being too aggressive? Never, they stick together. They even still stick together after killing people in cold blood.
Look at schools who are doing more and more to protect kids from paedophiles. What are the police doing to stop power hungry abusive vermin from joining the police? Nothing, if anything they actively encourage it.

Our police force are an absolute joke. Whole institute is riddled with arrogant, narcissistic, bully victims in it for the power. Should scrap it and start again.

Wish Iwobi had 15 goals and assists for a poor season though like Richarlison.
Bit unfair to include goals when he's playing up front compared to those from a player on the wing. Bit cheap to count cup goals too.
In the league Richarlison has 6 goals and 6 assists, compared to Iwobi's 1 goal and 3 assists. Looks a lot better at first glance but 4 of those came in a purple patch when he was moved upfront, so a bit unfair to include them when comparing him to another player on the wing. So a fairer comparison would be 2 goals and 6 assists, compared to 1:3, still better but both sets of figures aren't good enough.
To look at the numbers even further 3 of those 6 assists came in a single game against WBA, and he's credited for an assist thanks to his awful cross against Arsenal. So outside of the 90 minutes against West Brom, in the rest of 2362 minutes he's played this season he's created two assists for his teammates.
From the wing he's contributed a goal or assist in 6 matches. Iwobi has in 4. Both have terrible figures this season.

Pete, you can’t just take away the bits of Richarlison that makes him a more effective player for us than Iwobi to try and make out Iwobi is more effective, that’s not how it works
.
Richarlison is a far better player for us than Iwobi, and I say that as someone that wouldn’t hesitate to sell Richarlison!
I'm not saying Iwobi has been more effective, they've both not done enough. Just it's more disappointing from Richarlison as he's got it easier on the other wing given the quality behind him. Could also add Richarlison has had the extra quality of James passing him the ball.

Nope, seen every game this season, I didn’t say he was faultless, but if you would rather have Iwobi starting over Richarlison, we would be doomed, doomed Mr Mainwaring
Take out Richarlison's little purple patch when he was up front and he's been no more effective than Iwobi this season. Add to that Richarlison has Digne behind him and the team set up to maximise his ability compared to Iwobi who has centre half filling in behind him. Richarlison has easily been one of most disappointing players this year.

I take it that you close your eyes for all Richarlisons goals and closing opponents down.
You must have missed the 22 games he didn't manage to score in as his runs and finishing have been piss poor.
Don't fault his effort but his quality has been well off.

It was but it’s nowhere near enough, if he needs James to hold his hand for a good performance.
He is the master of crabbing sideways across the field, his compass needs calibrating.
He showed more in that performance than I've seen from Richarlison all season, and he has the benefit of Digne behind him.
-
How often has he got to play with James? His link up against Wolves was a joy to watch.

But if Bunedia is better and cheaper wouldn’t a team who fancied Richarlison just buy him instead?
How many players have Barca signed from the championship? They're hardly renown for their scouting, and with the £120m on Coutinho they're not exactly great when it comes to getting value for money either.

Why would you think a team would pay us so much for a player if he’s not that good?
Why would they not just buy Buendia if he is better than him for less money?
Didn't say he wasn't any good. I said Buendia is better.
They'll pay a premium as he's a Brazilian international.

Can’t believe Coleman, and to a lesser extent Richarlison, have got votes.
How anyone can vote for Coleman baffles me. More than anyone else in the squad I want to see that man with a trophy in his hands. There is no one in the team it would mean more to than him. Maybe im getting soft.Richarlison's value is higher than it should be. Sell him and bring in Buendia and have a better player and more money to spend.

I have explained when it isnt clear (i.e. the subjectivity of drawing the lines). Goals are getting chalked off that aren't clearly offside.
How is that not also costing teams points?
Doesn't matter if they're not clear decisions. They're right decisions. Is it subjective? Like I said I'm assuming they must use some set parameters, don't they?
It's 'costing' points that they shouldn't have. You think it's fair that Bournemouth went down because the goal against Villa wasn't clearly over the line in real time?

I am talking about the examples given as being not good for football. You cant tell me they aren't good goals. No-one wants clearly offside goals being allowed, but it needs to be clear. The examples shown are not clear.
Goal line technology isn't the same because there is no subjectivity. The parameters are decided and accepted by the league. In offside calls there is subjectivity as to where to draw the line and when the ball leaves the attacker's foot. Where there is subjectivity, a level of tolerance needs to be allowed.
Goal line cases happen a handful of times a season and it isn't really a big problem. This offside argument occurs several times in a weekend and is a problem that needs to be addressed.
Who decides if it's not clear? One inch offside mightn't bother you but I'd be pissed off if I'd stepped forward and caught someone. More so when it cost teams points.
Do they not use the same parameters each game as that would eliminate the subjectivity.
Goal line not working once was the difference between Bournemouth staying up or going down. Now imagine how much wrong offside calls have influenced the league for decades.

He's very much in the ilk of Sigurdsson although with a little extra Brazilian magic. Doesn't do enough in the 90 and doesn't suit Ancelotti's tactics unless he sees him as a back up for James but I don't see Coutinho being able to fill those boots. Rather a proper wide player for a different option. For that price and lower wages you'd get a higher energy and overall more quality from the likes of Sarr and Buendia.

Are you saying those images are clear cut?
I'm not saying that attackers can be a yard off side and given the benefit of being an attacker but when its clearly not an obvious error then the benefit should lay with the attacking team, solely on the basis that most people would rather see goals.
You can't say that being 1mm offside is good defending, it is pure luck. Arsenal's goal last week was poor from Holgate as he was a yard deeper than the rest of the line.
The other option is that you stand with the original decision like they do with umpire calls in cricket. Chalking off goals for
What we have now is a farce.
It's not just mm decisions though. How many times have we seen the sly six get away with being miles offside?
Much better and fairer now as it takes away some bias. Plus I'd rather see fair goals than more goals. More goals doesn't entertain me, good football does. Rather see a good goal from a good run, than let offside goals count.
We've seen similar thought of more goals is more entertaining this season with the soft penalties introduced, but they had the opposite reaction. Fans didn't like it. It's sport, not entertainment.
Goal line technology does exactly the same. Would you get rid of that too?

“I don’t think we have to talk about the [Coleman’s] contract,” Ancelotti told evertontv.
“The contract that Seamus has with the Club and this team is forever.
“It doesn’t mean one-year long or two years long.
“Seamus’ contract with Everton is forever.”

When it is that tight and is anything but clear, advantage should go to the attacking team.
Advantage? That's not advantage that's a whole change to the rules.
They're tight calls but the attackers should time their runs better. Why punish the defenders for keeping a good line? If you're offside, you're offside. It's a black and white call (assuming VAR use the same parameters of when the ball is deemed to be played). Would you scrap goal line technology as they make the tight calls too?
If you give the attackers the advantage as you call it, you might as well scrap the offside rule as defenders will be forced to drop deeper and deeper as they will be scared of the attacker being allowed a run on them.

For the first time, Season Tickets will be issued digitally for 2021/22, allowing supporters to access the stadium using their smart mobile phone. More information on this and how supporters can take advantage of the switchover from Season Cards will be made available in the coming weeks. If preferred, supporters will be able to purchase a Season Card for the 2021/22 campaign at an added cost of £5.
Bit disappointed with this. Absolutely no need for the club to be charging to cover the cost of a piece of plastic and a stamp for a purchase over £500.
