Way to go! You've brought attention in a specific way to what I've been saying since VAR came into being. I hope the football authorities can swallow their pride enough to learn from Rugby on this particular count. I guess being in our early and late seventies respectively enables us to see...

And I can't believe I'm fifty years older than you!

A very disappointing team performance. But let's not underestimate the impact of an early suspicious penalty goal on the shape of the game. Wolves should have responded better but the team is not together enough yet for that to happen inevitably. The on-field decision by both referee and AR for...

The VAR was showman Mike Dean. What would you expect?

The interesting question for me is what will now happen to Bill Barr?

It is correct. US Presidents can only pardon federal offences. If a state like NY pursues Trump, as appears to be the case, neither Pence (as deputizing President) nor Biden can issue a pardon.

You are right, Bear. I was thinking of another incident. Makes me wonder how Atkinson could change his mind so much when he hadn't thought it was a foul in the first instance.

A slight corrective. Atkinson didn't think it was a red card offence during the play but he did signal advantage (allowing Wolves to continue with possession),which means he did regard the tackle as a foul.

No only was it Coote who made two ridiculous VAR errors at Goodison but he is also the referee at Elland Road on Monday. I fear the worst! He seems adept at fudging for one of the teams in a match but never for Wolves!

Speaking as a former referee and assessor, it's not a case of blaming Atkinson but pointing out a fundamental error he committed. Had he played advantage after Boly's foul, then no problem. But the whistle for the free-kick was clear. That stops the game. So in your words, he was at that moment...

One of my greatest disappointments in life, particularly during this pandemic, is when people who believe in the left of center principles I support actually act in totalitarian ways toward anyone who dares to disagree or contend with them. In fact (and this is the most disappointing fact) they...

Our lives will never be the same again. Too many politicians have had the scent of real power in their nostrils and too many citizens did nothing about it. The world has changed, but not for the better and has widely opened the door for the next despot with the broader population kneeling as the...

Just remember there are two types of Covidiots. The kind you mention is one form of idiocy and the other consists of politicians who use the mantra of 'science' (it really is scientism) to justify their politicizing of the virus crisis in order to garner more (almost fascist) power for...

Quite right. I should have added you have every PL game, some Bundesliga, and Ligue 1, plus all major tennis tournaments, cricket, NFL games, and much more. Take a look. It's worth checking out. I watch every Wolves game live in this way.

I watched Peter Broadbent regularly between 1953 and early 1965 (just before he left Wolves). He was a fabulous footballer, a schemer of the first order (I guess that term isn't used much today). He had a body-swerve that often left opposing midfielders on their arse while he waltzed by with...

Ahem! I don't think you know your MLS history. Vancouver Whitecaps have been right up there until they fired Carl Robinson as coach two years ago. Which also reminds me that there is a Wolves connection with Alphonso Davies. Not just from me who first saw him as a future star on his debut four...

I am gutted by the result because the way Wolves started, I thought we had a real chance. Sevilla gradually took charge of the game as our players became visibly tired. I thought Neves, Donck, Boly, Doc and Vinagre gave their all throughout the second half onslaught. Even though they lost, I'm...

The purpose of VAR is to safeguard the integrity of the competitive game. The way Mike Riley has used it is to protect the integrity of referees. To be effective, VAR needs to have a separate and distinct set of TV analysts (former referees, former players) who are not active referees. The...

I agree with your analysis. For me two incidents stand out that could have changed our end position. If Adama had scored against Arsenal, I don't think Arsenal would have won. Indeed, the momentum was with Wolves and the likelihood of a second goal was probably with us not Arsenal. The second...
