Match Day Thread Premier League, Cups & Euro Watch

The rules around penalties are ridiculously in favour of the attacker nower days.

God forbid the keeper actually saves it. He then has the wait to find out he moved 2 mm of the line so the penalty taker gets another go.

 

I’d said numerous times when it comes to pens once the ref has allowed sufficient time for keeper and defenders to get out the area on the line and be ready (say 30 seconds after the pen has been confirmed) the ref should blow the whistle.

If the keeper isn’t on his line ready then his own fault and forward can just tap it into empty net.

Would stop all the faff that goes on beforehand.

 

This would be better, penalties have become a massive faff. Rules for the run up, rules for the keeper, rules for the surrounding players.

It's a bloody free kick, why all the drama.

 

But if the keeper is standing in front of the taker then he can't see the goal. The taker could kick it at the keeper, who isn't 10 yards away and that would be, erm... a penalty. Two penalties? Keeper carded?

 

If keeper touches the ball while not on his line it’s an auto goal and yellow card.

 

Surely that would just lead to players firing the ball at the keeper

 

lads, it's all common sense

just behave all round.

give the ref leave to punsih attackers by losing pen and goalies to just get on with it.

people acting the cock get books period. First pen no question just straight booking.

can you imagine the ref who has to send a keeper off in a a pen shoot out??

 

If the keeper isn’t on his line when ref says ready then his own fault.

Red will give a 10 seconds warning, then blow whistle. Of keeper isn’t ready then his own fault.

 

Conte gone. Imagine they didn’t wanna wait and risk losing Nagelsman so pulled trigger on conte now to get him in asap (or at least sign him with caveat will take over from next season)

 

The situation was beyond repair irrelevant of Nagelsman or any other manager. You can't make comments about players like that and expect to survive; Conte knew exactly what he was doing.

(Easier and cheaper to replace one manager than 25 players)

 

I wondered that but apparently his Assistent and Ryan Mason are taking over until the end of the season. Doesn't mean Nagelsmann isn't coming in the summer, but as @Zanjinho says, he just had to go, regardless of Nagelsmann's situation.

 

Well, they have ****ed it if so.

maybe Harry kane will manage them

 

i presume the full on england orgasm is occurring this morning. Will win the euros 100% and all that

If people are not noticing the following:

Pickford is ****
Walker is 32, james is a crock
Shaw is a moron who can't hold position, chilwell is a crock.
Stones and maguire as subs. yeah. what to say there.

theres not one jot of work being put in by suthgate to get the "next gen" defenders going. he is actually letting them slide.

Rice is way off form and stagnating at west ham waiting for a move
henderson is in at age 32 going on 33 cos phillips is ****ed but his city move (next danny drinkwater)


england have saka and bellingham. an manager worth his salt with players like that should be 1st in thier group.

 

I've read a few things saying that what happens with regard to sanctions against Everton could be a sort of test case of what may happen with city. Not that the sanctions will be necessarily similar but that a precedent will have been set within the PL for taking action when financial rules have been broken.

It seems unlikely that both clubs will get off scot-free or the PL will look incredibly weak. Everton's is a cut and dried clear breach and should be dealt with quickly but will any sanctions be delayed until after the season is over?

 

sanctions would only apply in the following season plus in the world of finance little is cut and dried once accountants / lawyers get stuck in .

 

They've breached profitably and sustainability, there's no way out of that.

Where does it say sanctions will apply in the following season?

 

It's already the following season. They will be 2 years later at this rate.

All clubs should publish accounts in March according to prem rules and be accepted or not by July and club should not enter league the following season if in dispute. If that's not enough time to complete finances from the previous July then it's a joke.

 

The league has got their accounts for this year and I presume it's more huge losses (following last year's and the previous year's losses) that has triggered the referral to the independent commission. I don't think they will escape as unbelievably easily as they did when the previous year's £170m loss (because of Covid) got waved through.

 

l dunno. they have been referred but it doesn't say when the offense was/is so who knows what 3 years it refers to.

it could be fianlly referring last year as it took this long to get city charged and its years later.

 

We'll have to wait and see. The profitability and sustainability rules are there, apart from trying to make it fair, to also protect clubs from overspending and to ensure that - for example - if a rich owner who's been bankrolling the club instead of having it be self sustaining (or close to), leaves, that the club doesn't go under. Everton's breach is far clearer than city's. City can run for years ducking and diving their way around the rules with monies hidden here and there.
