Reply | Tella on his way to another trophy?
at 08:53 4 Dec 2024
Not getting a lot of game time in the Bundesliga, out of 12 games played, he has started just 1 game ( a 4-1 defeat and taken off after 57 minutes) and come on as a sub on another 7 occasions, sat on the bench for 3 games and not in the squad for another.
Just 178 minutes on the pitch out of 1,080 he could have played. |

On paper it doesn't look good at all, but can we pull off one of those results that come out of nowhere |

Palace won and now Leicester 2-0 up, we are 6 points adrift of safety and clubs are pulling away |

Given that we dont have the worst goals conceded in the League, it shows what a great defence we actually have  |

"How a system is implemented IS the system."
Not when it comes to technology it isn't, the system works it gives you the data, it is how you interpretate the data and in this case it is down to human error.
If VAR was used in a way that accepted that you are not going to get 100 % of the decisions right, but you will correct a large proportion of the wrong ones, then it is worth doing.
What needs changing is the way it is implemented, if you have to draw a line on the screen then it is not clear and obvious, most decisions can be cleared up in 20-30 seconds whilst the scorer is running off into the corner either kissing the badge or cupping his ear depending what set of fans he is in front of.
Do that and we get rid of the ones that the human eye has missed.
In any debate there are always two sides to any story and simply saying " anyone trying to defend it in any way is not seeing the wood for the trees." idoesn't solve anything it just returns us to the original problem and that is that in the modern game where most players are diving all over the place and the game is played at such a fast pace that decisions are got wrong and VAR is needed.
I am not blaming the officials, but the truth is that it is human error that is failing the game not VAR itself, it still gets more wrong decisions turned into right ones, than controversial ones such as Friday night.
Of course it is frustrating that is why it needs revamping, in other countries they don't seem to have the problems that we do |

The system isnt the issue, it is the way that it is implemented, in other countries they use it to eradicate obvious errors, here we spend 5 minutes trying to find an error and draw lines etc |

I went there the last time we played them, it is a better bet than Brighton centre for convenience |

1. A pint in the Laines is dearer than London, over £28 in one pub for 4 pints, they are Pretentious with a capital P.
2. The Amex has to be the worst stadium to get to, after the game finished at 10 it was 11.20 before we could get a train back to the town centre.
3. It does have decent catering in the ground, I had a really good pie.
4. Big accident on the A27 coming home at Fontwell, anyone else get caught up in it and no what happened.
5. Brighton fans dont seem to have a singing section although the atmosphere was ok |

I wouldn't disagree, those in charge of the day to day running of the club, who incidentally were not at the club when he was appointed, so have no vested interest are sitting on their hands on this one |

Describing him as a fraud is not strictly true, he got us promoted last season, he has proved himself as a good manager, the problem is he wont adapt his tactics and is sticking to his guns, that shows he hasn't got the nous not that he is a fraud, Nigel Adkins got Saints promoted in 2012, he suffered a bad start to his first season in the Premier League and many on here do compare the standard of players back in 2012 and now, and was sacked in the January (Unfairly I would say) He went on to have a very poor managerial after leaving Saints, yet he is not called a fraud.
Martin should get our respect for what he has done for the club last season, but he has to be judged on what he does this season |

Seems that Typhoo Tea has entered administration, those that were about as kids in the late 60's will remember collecting coupons for packets of tea and sending off for A4 pictures of footballers, I had a few of them including a young Mike Channon and also Roger Hunt of Liverpool |
