    Can't deny it looks good for you lot.

    More hopeful than optimistic for us though. In a sea of **** we really should be floating higher up.

    Ultimately with your budget you will be the best again

    Criminal waste of six seasons though

    Footballers beware, there is no escaping VAR.

    Just ask Holstein Kiel midfielder Michael Eberwein, who is a contender for the unluckiest substitute in sport.

    Eberwein was warming up behind the goal during a German second division game against Bochum on Friday when he kicked a wayward shot back into play.

    However, VAR spotted Eberwein had touched the ball before it had crossed the line, prompting referee Timo Gerach to give a penalty and show him a yellow card.

    It is the sort of innocuous incident that may have passed the officials by in previous seasons, but the presence of the eagled-eye VAR cameras means nothing is now missed.

    International FA Board (Ifab) rules state if a substitute interferes with play, the referee can take appropriate disciplinary action and restart the game with a direct free-kick or penalty kick.

    Congo forward Silvere M'Boussy took advantage of the bizarre moment of fortune by converting the spot-kick to bring Bochum level.

    To make things worse for Eberwein, it is his only touch in a Holstein Kiel shirt since joining from Fortuna Cologne over the summer.

    He can at least take some consolation from the fact his side went on to win the game thanks to Janni Serra's second-half strike.

    His experience sends out a message to players everywhere, though - VAR is watching you. Always.

    He shouldn't have touched the ball whilst it was in play...the lines are there for a reason. They not an estimate.

    Shame on him

    Finally referees are applying the rules.

    Now can we start handing out foul throws when a player picks up a ball but then just chucks it underarm to a team mate to take instead.

    Just got back from that match, hell of an occasion.

    Cardiff were ****e, Swansea should have had a couple more.

    It brings out the worst scrotes known to man in their masses.

    All dressed resplendent in their fake Stone Island, tanked up and ready to pretend they're going to fight anyone from Cardiff. They're ****ing embarrassing.

    Still, good to see the ground full and an atmosphere.

    The ****s should turn up every week though, not just when they think they can stick the V's up at Cardiff fans.

    I daresay a certain few people, feel like that when they play against Portsmouth.

    I tend to just look at the players.
