West Brom leading at Ipswich. Chaplin missed a very easy chance to equalise.

Dowie copied him.

Unbelievable miss

Corners aren't doing it for me in Australia this weekend Chesterfield absolutely killing the National League. 22 points ahead so the risk is they may take their foot off the gas, but hopefully not just yet. They've scored 48 goals in 16 home games. Ebbsfleet are 4th bottom in the away standings. Armstrong to score has a bit of risk to it. But he usually scores whether Southampton win, which has been quite often recently.

That falls apart within seconds on the pitch, in the Premier League at least. Referees seem too soft these days and won't brandish out the yellows/reds even if they get a faceful of abuse from any given player. If more referees actually had the bollocks to whip out the cards whenever someone backchats or verbally abuses them, the issue would soon improve. Nowadays players know they can get away with dishing it out a few times before a ref even considers talking to them. Referees lost respect ages ago (even before VAR). It seems minor, but they don't stamp their authority like they used to, and they want to be centre of attention too much. I've noticed the older generation referees (10yrs + or so ago?) wouldn't go chasing players to book them or talk to them. They'd stand their ground and be assertive enough to ask players to come to them. These days, refs are so weak they'll go up to the player and not actually give out the punishment, consistently, to players. It's like they're scared to do things by the book. If every other player other than the captain got booked because they approached the ref when they shouldn't have do, there'll soon be a wind of change for the better. At least refs might not feel pressured into making decisions if it was successfully implemented that only captains end up talking to them.

He surely isn't trying to claim this is only a Liverpool/Klopp thing ?!

Makes sense. Belgium's border looks like this didn't you know...

Nice. Low-carb lunches have been my diet for the past 4-5 months. Low carb tortilla wraps, cooked chicken slices, bit of veg and some sauce. Keeps me full til dinner pretty much, and stops me snacking. It's quite boring but it's efficient.

They say it's not true that it's being brought into 'elite football levels' just yet, and will be tried in lower levels of the system. But then I've also seen a headline that it's being introduced in the FA Cup next season...

Liverpool's is Southampton

Load of shite and another nail in the coffin of modern football. Punish cynical fouls and dissent properly in the first place and you wouldn't need this.

Water tastes do differ from each region. We have very hard water in Bedford. Each time I go to Leicester it tastes totally different, think it's softer there.

Welcome to the forums

Yeah but what makes you not trust it?

What do you think they do to it?

Bloody hell. 3-0. Cracking strike from Enzo.

2-0 Chelsea Didn't expect this in the slightest. Very open game. Jackson heads in to double the lead.

Chelsea lead! Gallagher into the top corner from some good build up involving Jackson and Madueke.

Chelsea already so open at the back

Same. Sick of the love in and attention. No superfan here but do enjoy the build up and occasion. Fair enough. 49ers or Chiefs to win? One more time!

Hanging around @MUFC too much...
