That's really shit. No excuses for not having it now, and really shouldn't be changing how games are officiated partway through the season.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Thought they were originally saying October or so. How has it slipped six months or possibly more?

The technology was proven to work years ago.

They've said it'll be being used in the background from the start so they can make sure it's accurate...

 

[Wellen Wolf]

I guess they have nowhere to put the offside cameras at Anfield. ;-(

Looks like Joe Hart doesn’t like the idea or the pain involved with tattoos so he’s just taped a couple of gaffer tape strips on his arm.

 

[Jack Regan]

Had to do the same in the Euro's. He has some tattoos that aren't suitable to be viewed on tv.

 

[slink]

Those are his tattoos, no tape involved.

Ha! Just googled it and yep you're right, strange choices.

I admire the boldness, but…

Actually I don’t know if “bold” is correct given how he himself explains them.

Not got any armour yourself then Alan?

Shit or pointless would be more accurate.

Only if that’s what Rob Halford calls it…

 

[Del Woppio]

I'm a bit late with this but just finished that We Are Burnley show on Sky, fucking hell that little prick owner is an absolute embarrassment. Hearing him try and talk about football is pure cringe, and his manner is just so icky it's unreal. He couldn't be any less Burnley. Also worth reiterating how the fuck did Kompany get the Bayern job. Football is fucking mental.

"Inappropriate behaviour" according to the link for those who don't want to click. Doesn't specify what or to whom, but it's no great loss for punditry IMO.

[Jack Regan]

Widely tipped to be the next host of MOTD so definitely must have been very naughty to get the push.

 

[Tony Towner]

Was live on TalkSport as he got sacked apparently

 

[Templeton Peck]

Insider bbc chum described him as "entitled footballer slag with a beautiful wife and kids". Make of that what you will...

 

[Lupo]

Talk of dick pics to a female worker?
