The woman was a retired Fifa Grade referee. I didnt think she tried to justify decisions, more explain why they would be given in line with current IFAB rules. There was one decision in particular (cant remember which) that she explained why the decision had been given in line with the rules, but then said, "if you ask me my personal opinion, you would get a different answer". I think it was to do withba penalty handball incident. I thought it was actually quite refreahing ro get a referees insight as it explained a lot of stuff. I think IFAB are the problem. Not the referees.

Looking forward to another season tomorrow, especially come 2.00 when usual moans start about line up...Kettlewell clueless etc etc 🤪🤪 Ps. Got strange look from Mrs grizzly today, I was in the kitchen...bathroom...living room....bedroom with a microwave meal and a fork. She said "What are you doing?". I replied " on the packet it says.....pierce in several places!!" Cueeeee............grizzly's back...........ba boom 😁😁

No doubt, however plenty of evidence how impeccably the WS Board has conducted themselves diplomatically as well as solid factual arguments as to why this was a farcically terrible deal. My take on it is Chairman Jim was happy to pay lip service to fan ownership while there was a passive WS to not give him much push back, he has seen the change in skillset, attitude, and a more challenging WS Board and shown his true colours by trying to kill the WS with this deal

Well you did follow the instructions!

I've long said that Kettlewell is an underrated manager. He's still relatively young in the profession, but I wouldn't be surprised to see him go on to carve a very good career out for himself at a higher level either domestically or down south.

My biggest gripe with VAR is that they now seem to be actively looking for reasons to disallow goals, yet they still spout the "we only get involved for clear and obvious errors " pish. Tell me how spending 3 or 4 mins looking at an incident from every angle, slow motion, frame by frame etc, and drawing fancy lines on a screen to register someone off side by millimetres, is clear and obvious. The whole set up is ruining the game and needs binned.

RWB, a creative centre mid and a striker should be the three.
