Doracle's latest activity

  • We don’t seem to have too many options for this. I’d go with the following, assuming we still have no other CBs, as playing a really attacking LB seems a sensible step to take for Sheffield Utd at home, when we don’t have an actual left back...
  • Doracle replied to the thread Striker options?.
    We paid over £50m for Mount, so it seems unlikely we will be able to get Toney for less than £65m+ (as I expect that to be a signing where we will face some fairly serious competition). I’d be keen on the signing but I don’t see how we can get...
  • It will be contained very easily. Forest will get a fine. Most people will agree that they deserved it for the ridiculously unprofessional statement. Nothing will change. As has been said above, demanding changes to how VAR is implemented would...
  • We have Mason Mount. Don’t tell me that you want more??
  • The AWB one was a flat out awful decision by VAR. I can see why the referee gave it but VAR should be looking at the fact he was pulling his arm into his body to try and get it out of the way. It’s just not a penalty, even under the current...
  • Just checked and, assuming the list I found is accurate, he’s refereed every other current premier league team at least 5 times in his career but not a single match involving Luton.
  • They said it should have been a penalty. Didn’t spend long on it though, probably as they didn’t want to highlight that they don’t have coverage (so only showed a still image).
  • PGMOL has a list of affiliations of each referee. I’m sure someone would have pointed out by now if he had ever ref’d a Luton match, so (unless someone does find an example where he has done so) I’d be fairly confident that list says he’s a Luton...
  • I think the problem is the “warning” wording and the insinuation that there is direct bias/cheating. The Clattenberg article is much more reasoned in his wording, and I think most people would agree with what he says there.
  • I’d be astonished if he isn’t a Luton fan given Forest’s statement. It should be easy enough to check by looking at whether he’s been involved in any Luton games this season anyway. The whole point is that PGMOL wouldn’t necessarily regard this...
  • You can tell it’s a bad weekend for VAR when Dermot essentially says three decisions were wrong (Grealish, AWB and the third Young one).
  • All agreed AWB one shouldn’t be a penalty.
  • Dermot: Forest 1: no penalty. There’s contact but it’s insufficient to give a penalty. Pundits - both say penalty. Forest 2: would have been very harsh to be given, running in a natural position. Pundits - natural for arms to be there, no...
  • Get rid of “clear and obvious”. It is an utter farce and completely removes any consistency in decision making, which is what VAR should provide. Very harsh decision on AWB today. Moves his arm into his body specifically to try and make himself...
  • Star jumps with arms out and then moves his arm towards the ball to connect with it. Why is the referee not sent to the monitor there? He clearly hasn’t seen it, as he has given a goal kick. Decision should be with him as to whether it’s...
