General Premier League Thread 2018-19

Why are these polls not locked after the season starts?

Just saw the Pickford penalty... My God, how was that not a red card, obvious as hell. Officials are a joke in the EPL

Watching the newcastle peno, why do players go down the middle, surely it decreases the odds of going in comapred to picking a corner

How did pickford stay on the pitch, his jesture with the tongue was laughable as well on him, karma got the smug idiot.

England would want to go looking again for a new keeper, just because he's actually ****e in goal.

TheRiverman

Pickford is an arsehole.

Harry Palmr

Man Utd

Pickford has Ramos levels of arseness

I hadnt seen it at the game time but was reading boards

Someone mentioned "the spear" by edge in wwe.

Absolutely on point was hilarious.

What was the spear? Second goal?

I’ve already made my point on it. I just agreed with what you just posted a message back also.

My opinion is VVD deserves it this year no matter Liverpool’s finishing position, but Salah did not deserve it over KDB.

Salah 100% deserved it last season but so would have KDB.

I'd have said the opposite. In 90-odd percent of penalties, the keeper will dive one way or the other. The main danger of going straight down the middle would be hitting the keeper's trailing leg.

Just watched MotD damn there was some really shocking refereeing decisions across the PL yesterday.

Spurs

VAR would have helped sort the bad decisions and help refs follow the laws of the game like the Champions league.

Can't come in quick enough

theoneeyedman

A question.
Pochetino was suspended yesterday. What does that mean, is he allowed or barred from contact with the team during the game?
I ask because during yesterday's game, he can be seen walking to the rear of the stand with one of the Tottenham staff for a chat after Tottenham score. Is this allowed? Are the EPL rules different from the UEFA ones?

VAR makes bad refs worse.

This is the best clarification I could find on the interweb



.

He is not allowed any immediate contact with players, club officials and match officials participating in a match for the duration of the match.

Attending the dugouts and technical areas before, during and after the match.
Entering the field-of-play and the prohibited area in the vicinity of the touchline and goal lines.
Coaching or issuing instructions for the duration of the game.
Engaging the match officials whilst they are on the field-of-play or in the tunnel and/or private way leading from the dressing rooms to the field-of-play.
The manager under a Touchline Suspension is permitted to attend the team changing room pre-match, at half time and post-match. Furthermore, the individual is permitted to approach the match officials pre-match or post-match whilst they are in their dressing room and provided the match officials are agreeable to the approach.

Due to the nature of many grounds, the individual under a Touchline Suspension may stand behind the perimeter barrier surrounding the field-of-play but still remain sufficiently close enough to the field-of-play to allow them to continue coaching or issue instructions to the coaching / technical staff. This will be considered as a breach of the Touchline Suspension and supposedly will result in the FA preferring charges of misconduct against the manager.



For the duration of the game, a manager under a Touchline Suspension is NOT PERMITTED to communicate with the coaching / technical staff via radio or other electronic communication and is prohibited from having personal contact with any such persons.

VAR would have saved liverpool there.

VAR is great

The cowardly **** hitting him from behind as well.

That looks like Wee Man with a flat cap on doing a Jackass gag.

What's worse is if a Villa player hit him back he'd be sent off and banned by the FA.

Some fans are just beyond stupid. Hopefully a jail sentence for your man.

A few posters from Boards.ie Rep. of Ireland thread being called in for questioning as we post!

Well it is fair to say he is getting jail time. Never mind stadium ban.

Something much less severe happened in Rangers game the other night.

To be fair it looks like the security was manhandled by them more than the perpetrator.
Same thing nearly happened at Hibs vs Rangers too albeit by a touchline.

Grealish scoring the winner now in the 90th minute from an offside position would be epic viewing!

Sloppy defending by Burnley there. Way too slow in trying to clear their lines.

Imagine if the looper had a knife. No way should he been able to get onto the pitch.

I think Brum could face punishment for that themselves. Security in a game like that should be 100% bang on.

He certainly comes across as a very bitter person. Imagine what he would be like if he was a city fan prior to the Arabs taking over

Obviously he's retaliating to the numerous Liverpool fans saying 'emptyhad' at every opportunity as if it's original or funny.

Some people don’t like home truths it seems. Deemed as bitter for pointing out there’s no atmosphere at Anfield when there clearly isn’t today is there? Or do you think I’m wrong?

No problems when it’s posted in a certain other thread about other clubs though. Hypocrisy at its finest.

Lee Hendrie saying that any Brum fan would be embarrassed at that idiotic fan. Looking at the shot of some of the Brum fans in that stand behind the goal, there were a good few who didn't seem embarrassed at all.

What shot? I am sure 99% of Birmingham fans are embarrassed and disgusted with the extremity of that going from social media reaction and Birmingham fan forums which I had a gawk at. I doubt he means overwhelmingly literally every other fan. There will obviously be the odd 'fan" that left their parents box room this morning, knocked back some dutch gold cans and headed to go to the game

He did say "any" Birmingham fan, not "most" fans. As for the shot I referred to, there was a replay shown with a view from what looks it was taken from the halfway line on the far side of the ground as we look at it. The stand behind the goal was in the background of the shot.

The English Football League just issued a statement saying they condone the fan's actions. Someone needs to get them a dictionary

Grealish scores haha

He said "if you were a Brum fan, you would be embarrassed to see that"

In fairness, difficult to gauge someones real feelings when using reactions in real time from the far side of the ground and the shock of the incident the overwhelming reaction on these fans.

Everyone knows their is mentally lacking people like this guy in every walk of life and fans in almost every club rivalry who secretly or openly find this sh*t funny. He was clearly speaking in general terms. Not literally.
Saying that he was coming out with some awful nonsense like the game should be abandoned etc!
