Rogue Daddy Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Petition calling for independent regulator in English football passes 100,000 signatures https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/57144141 ..found this interesting (apologies if listed elsewhere). I especially liked this line - "It was a direct threat to the integrity of the game; destroying the concept of sporting merit and open competition." ...the quote is in reference to the 'Super League', however, I couldn't help attributing it to our own league and the uglies/spfl/sfa. 'Integrity', 'sporting merit', 'open competition'.... certainly no 'threat' of any of these in Scotland! Makes you wonder what would have come to pass, should Rangers offer to pay for an independent inquiry into the SPFL last year, was undertaken? Something like this is, perhaps, what's required to make a difference in our top league. The chairmen of spfl clubs certainly aren't going to rock the boat - no point in leaving it to them!

Pasquale for King Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Hodgson would be a good DoF for a young manager to bounce ideas off. He’s worked abroad a lot so might head off for a swan song somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chatting to a Palace mate this afternoon who wants Dyche. Think I would prefer Lampard if he was given the funds to get in the players he wants. Part of me would also like Howe just to piss off the Celtic support! Agree with you about keeping some experience in a DOF role though it looks like Hodgson and Lewington will be leaving at end of season.

RobNox Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 As it stands, Leicester realistically have to rely on Liverpool dropping points. Leicester GD now 2 worse than Liverpool and if Liverpool win their final two games, that GD will be at least 4 in Liverpool's favour, possibly more, meaning Leicester would need to beat Spurs by at least 4 goals. Having said that, I wouldn't put money on Liverpool winning both games, unless they start with Allison up front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HMFC01 Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 The cavani goal was onside only because fernandes didn't touch the ball, albeit very close. I'm against that kind of rule, it's almost like they know VAR will allow it. Shouldn't be allowed. They should disallow for anyone that is that close to touching the ball by attempting to kick it.
