I told you he was class. I told you he should have had more starts this season. Didn't I? Eh? eh? Told you. Shouldn't you and your hanger on be at work? Who says I'm not. Someone has to pay into the state so there's enough for you and your mate to draw out.

But according to you gifty, heβs a spent force so whatβs the point? Iβm still not convinced heβll make it but Christ he deserves a chance when you see the leeway accorded to the likes of Ince and McClean. I love this gifty thing, I wish I could prove you all wrong, which you are. Don't know how many times I have to say it lol. He is a spent force imo. Value for wages apart from 3 months in 5 years he's on par with saido, imo of course. Probs be out now with his 'injury', it's probs the splinters in his backside giving him a limp π

All any of us ever asked was that he was afforded the same chances as other players, players that have been and continue to be very limited. Now that he's had that chance, if NJ doesn't like what he sees then fair enough, at least he's had the opportunity. Shame he took a knock, if he'd completed the 90 minutes like last week we might have had another weeks rest from our resident 'experts'

Not unlike corners that get taken from outside the corner markings in most games. Corners can be taken outside of the quadrant as long as some part of the ball overhangs the line. Has there been one of those subtle rule changes on this recently, or have players and officials only just cottoned on that this is allowed.

Bojan has been very patchy due to injury and possibly other extenuating factors but when he was good he was brilliant and has quietly got on with things. From what I've seen lately he's also injected some much needed vision and creativity into the midfield too. Your comment appears to be either agenda driven or deliberately provocative.

The failure to observe the keeper off his line rule is football's own 'broken window syndrome'. A visible sign of law breaking that creates an environment that encourages further law breaking and disorder. You either have the rule and enforce it or you don't. From next season the 'keeper will only have to have one foot touching the line, or if jumping, in line with the goal line. Who knows whether that will make things better or worse ! Incidentally, the stuff in the media about it being like a penalty shoot out and the ball being dead if the penalty is missed, isn't going to happen. IFAB discussed it, but didn't agree it.

I'm glad someone mentioned the encroachment above. I thought my eyes were deceiving me at the time and had to check the replays later.
I thought he was going to sprint past him before he hit the ball.

A visible sign of law breaking that creates an environment that encourages further law breaking and disorder. You either have the rule and enforce it or you don't. Very true and very well put. Goalkeeper moving a yard off his line reduces the target area from 8 to 7.2 yds wide and 8ft to 7.2ft high. A big advantage for a 6ft 5inch keeper.

Reading the threads about Bojan whilst carefully dusting my specially commissioned 12 inch ceramic Bojan Krkic icon statuette.
I was surprised. Is there actually some doubt about the great one being the most talented player to appear for Stoke City since Alan Hudson?

Bojan haters wake up shocker! Its not a bad pen, its a good save Most pens are fairly average, and if the keeper commits and guesses the right way (and him being about 6.5ft helped!) then they will save most If he guesses the wrong way or is sent 'with the eyes' everybody says what a great cool composed pen it was bottom corner. I always laugh on pen shootouts when commentators distinguish a 'cool composed' pen from a 'poor miss' when the only difference in a nice height pen is whether the keeper guessed correctly! The only real unstoppable pens are hard and high into the top corners, or smashed into the sides of the goal near the post, but they are an art form! Risk reward isnt it - power and less accuracy to give the keeper less reaction time, or less power and precision to outfox/skill the keeper - it wasnt like he ballooned it 10ft over the bar or missed the target. Players that can combine power and accuracy are few - Alan Shearer, Matt LeTissier, Stuart Pearce etc. I'm pleased he had the balls to stand up and take it, and I hope he stands up and takes the next one too. Same if Charlie wants to take one. Word of warning, Youβll upset some folk using the superlative βhaterβ

How's about this for a rule change Malcolm: When a penalty kick is taken, every player other than the taker and the keeper should be made to stand in the opposition half (ie behind the halfway line). The odd yard of encroachment wouldn't be as important and it could lead to some excitement when the keeper saves it and there's a race on between the taker and the keeper to get to the rebound.

The usual suspects are making excuses for the peno miss, had it been another player they would have been labelled a 'bottle job' amongst plenty of other vulgar descriptions, but not little bojey π there are reasons bojey missed, a book full of them. encroachment only happens when bojey takes a spot kick didn't you know? This is why you can't value their extremely biased opinions. What a great twist it would be if the pantomime villain Jimmy McLean ended the peno nightmare.. If he missed it though I'll guarantee you now encroachment wouldn't be under consideration. π

On Bojan's penalty, I'm never in favour of a right footer placing the ball into the left hand corner. For me, the laws of geometry would suggest this is always going to be easier to save.
I have similar feelings about the effectiveness of outswinging corners.

If the officials had done their jobs when Charlie had his pen saved against Brighton we might still be in the Prem. Charlie got all sorts of shit on here, but the truth is, the player who stopped him scoring the rebound not only fouled him, but had encroached by several yards beforehand, other wise, slow as Charlie might be, the defender would have been nowhere near him. It's almost as if the officials are now waiting for VAR (like no balls in cricket)...wtf If anyone would disagree with you they should check out You Tube. In addition to your comments Iβll add (1) at the very least the goalkeeper should have been booked for time wasting, the same applies to at least two other Brighton Players, (2) there were two Brighton players within 3 yards of Charlie when he took the penalty. All should have booked and the penalty retaken. One last point. Someone should have but their boot right up Jeseβs Arse for his behaviour which didnβt help the penalty taker which happened to be Charlie

The most ignored rule in football has to be the 'six second rule' for goalkeepers.
I understand that the rule is there to stop the goalkeeper holding the ball indefinitely, but ref's should enforce it more - not necessarily after 6 seconds - but 12, double the rule should be penalised.
Obviously if the rule was set at 12 seconds - it would lead to more time-wasting.

A visible sign of law breaking that creates an environment that encourages further law breaking and disorder. You either have the rule and enforce it or you don't. Watching the EFL Highlights on Quest I observed that more penalties were missed/saved than scored.Really think that the officials should start to enforce the rules of penalty taking. and the six second keeper rule while they're at it.
