Hadn't seen that, I've just popped in to do a spot of gammon baiting. Passed a bit of time

The reply with Father Christmas in it to the bloke asking what happens at Christmas was me.
He can’t argue back because it’ll make him look even more stupid

Some of the comments on Wolves Facebook post about Ramadan will make your eyes bleed, as you'd expect unfortunately.

[Tony Towner]

The 'we're a Muslim country now' narrative has taken hold amongst a not insignificant number of racists, hiding behind Christian values

 

[big mean bunny]

It's the classic "more rights for others must mean less rights for me." It's very similar to a issue I have at work with a group of kids who keep having to be challenged about homophobic remarks. And they don't understand the difference between freedom of speech for your own opinions, and your opinions being discrimination, which is a legal matter

The difference is they are slightly hive minded and mixed up 14-16 year olds and are constantly challenged on it. This people are apparently "grown ups".

 

[Law's Bus]

People are people. End of.

It's not difficult to treat everyone with respect and to celebrate our differences.

 

[AndyWolves]

Freedom of speech isn't the same as freedom of accountability.

 

[Wellen Wolf]

Same old uncivilised and pathetic stuff.
I grew up with kids in Wednesfield with the following family names and obvious inks to Wales: Evans, Jones, Roberts, Parry, James, Lloyd. Loads of them. Same with Irish, Indian, Pakistani, Jamaican, Polish, Italian, Ukrainian, Latvian, Hungarian, etc origins. That's because the Wolverhampton area was and is attractive to people who want to get on in life. Celebrate or accept our diversity otherwise...

 

[jd1981]

They’re people who still believe it’s ok to say what you want to who you want and pass it as freedom of speech.
Same absolute arseholes who thought the homophobic chants last season were just fine because it was in a football stadium where the law changes.

Love Mikey’s commentary ‘there are no words to describe that’ after just using every superlative he knows.

 

[Kenny]

Still remember my call from the North Bank of "dont fucking shoo......" followed by a bit of a mental

 

[Stan Hullis]

It was the noise in the stadium which I remember most, a mix of "oooooooooohh" and "yesssssssssss" and just general incredulity that it had gone into the top corner.

 

[SSB]

I still remember the guy who stands behind us and spends most of the game drinking in the concourse saying “you should have seen that on the tv” when he returned to his seat.

 

[Derby Wolf]

There's a Derby vlog and when he shoots somebody shouts whey! thinking it's high and wide then you just hear 'fair play' as the away end start clapping it.

For me, it was the hum around the ground as the game kicked back off, it was way beyond any normal 'post goal euphoria' that we'd seen something special, never experienced it before or since.

With you.
Just had another look, it is simply amazing, BUT HORRIFICALLY if you look closely it was from a corner and we have two players centrally and in the line of sight of the goalie standing in an offside position when he hits it. I am horrified to say that I think a VAR referee would have referred THAT GOAL for review if it had been in the PL and VAR had been in existence.

Afobe's reaction is spot on

Remember Neves' similar (ish) goal versus Man United? Same end, off a (short corner) BW side, SB end that went in off the bar.

VAR took ages trying to find a reason to disallow that [possibly great viewing on TV but terrible in the ground] for the ball back to the corner taker (Joao possibly?) to rule the goal offside. We fell foul of another like that, NB end, where I think the stud on Jota's heel was offside on a short corner routine.

Leicester?

Yep, for sure. And, I remember for years Real Madrid amongst others getting tap ins for players standing near a goalie in offside positions after he has knocked the ball down in a save. They always used to have a player or two standing as close to the goalie as possible at set pieces.
We all know that the big clubs do not have their goals scrutinised in the same way as the 'lesser clubs'.

Yes, think they were checking if Moutinho was offside when he received the ball back as part of the short former

 

[Jack Regan]

Yes, think they were checking if Mourinho was offside when he received the ball back as part of the short former

Wow VAR was worse back then, checking if managers are offside is taking it too far.
