WILF 46,811 Posted May 16 Report Share Posted May 16 Surely the easiest way is for a ref to work out how many of his strides is 10 yds and just do that ?…….tell the fans this is what refs are doing, sorted. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jukel123 8,017 Posted May 16 Report Share Posted May 16 Fair comment.lol The idea came to me from a particular type of fishing I do in an estuary. We have a written rule which states no fishermen is allowed to fish less than 250 yards in front of another fishermen.Theres always heated rows on what constitutes 250 yards. Often I've seen a fisherman count the steps in the sand of a guy in front. Usually there are 250 steps but if those 250 steps are repeated by another fishermen there's a huge difference between them based on stride length. I'll er get my coat. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We had a ref this year who constantly walked 8 strides for every free kick, in the end we were shouting from the sideline counting them out…..comical ! Not phased, just carried on walking out the 8 strides ! Lol Edited May 16 by WILF Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jukel123 8,017 Posted May 19 Report Share Posted May 19 (edited) Well it's goodbye to Klopp today. He was a great addition to the Premier league and leaves good memories. Liverpool's recruitment is usually excellent . Here's hoping Slot can continue in his footsteps and provide competition for Man City and Arsenal.

jukel123 8,017 Posted May 22 Report Share Posted May 22 I put a tenner on Pochetino to Man Utd at 50/ 1. The odds are dropping dramatically. No begging PMs if it happens please. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No begging PMs if it happens please. You not a fan of Ten Haag then mate ? Personally I’m glad to see the back of dismal Dave but I’m pretty underwhelmed at Lopertuigi (spel ?)……..only because I know nothing about him so I’ll wait and see what type of football he wants to play and that will take a season or so (if he gets that long in the football world) Klopp is a fine example of how personality counts when you lead groups of blokes……I think if Ten Haag came across as having a bigger personality people would like him more because I don’t actually think he has done that badly with a club that had poison poured in the well (jmho as an outsider) A measure of what he is dealing with is when the likes of Rashford is getting left out of the England side but Ten Haag is meant to shit miracles with him ?……makes you think don’t it. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jukel123 8,017 Posted May 22 Report Share Posted May 22 (edited) Ten Haag is as good as anyone I guess. Whether his man management is suspect I don't know. He fell out with Sancho and Rashford. But that could be because they are spoilt brat multi_ millionaires. Antony was a gross waste of money so that's a monkey on his back.Whatever the truth, I think the new management structure at Utd will demand a new face at the helm. The problem for Pochetino at Chelsea was he wanted to be head chef but the management structure and owners also wanted to be head chefs. Modern management needs a man who has a big enough personality to handle overpaid, poorly motivated players as well as liaise with technical directors, sporting directors, owners and God knows who else. I was looking at the wages bill at West Ham and Wolves. Both Moyes and your new man achieved a league position consistent with their wages bill. So last season both were adequate managers. No more no less. But Moyes over achieved in the two years before this season. Not dramatically, but a few places up the league than West Ham should have been according to their wage bill. I don't know anything about your new man other than he was goalie for Real Madrid. Presumably he must have had a successful spell in Spain before the Wolves job. I got a tip off about Potechino to United from a friend who got it from a member of the coaching staff at Utd. I'll believe it when I collect my 500 notes.

NEWKID 27,153 Posted May 25 Report Share Posted May 25 Ten Hag has had a rough deal imo.. injuries that for ant team is crippling, blooding young players that are definitely the future but need a little time .. I'm.maybe in the minority but I hope he stays, the players played for him today, fought every ball, the youngsters shined again, Martinez showed how much he's been missed, no Casimero made us more mobile (Ambarat was great)... Mainoo is a proper talent... I wanted to stick with Ole but that became impossible, keep changing manager is a poor show, his only possibly bad deal is Anthony, he's landed with a clear out.... stick I say... Oh and unlucky Newcastle, but that's how it goes! 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry but money talks.lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
