  1. VAR and Refs | General Discussion

    You're beyond help, I'm just gonna move along.
  2. VAR and Refs | General Discussion

    I have no idea what you are even talking about. How does fairness factor into it? Objective, no less.
  3. VAR and Refs | General Discussion

    It really doesn't. The only thing you can fix, is the appearance. As long as there is a certain measure of precision, it will always come down to centimeters. You can only move around this "margin" so as to hide this fact from the naked eye, but that's all you'll be doing. The decision making...
  4. Film The Game (1997) - Dir. David Fincher

    Yeah, my memory might be playing tricks on me. Whether they gained the knowledge through the test, or already had it before it is not that relevant though. The fact is that they could predict his every move, to the minutest of details which is the most implausible part. I can see the...
  5. Film The Game (1997) - Dir. David Fincher

    Have not watched it in a very long time, but I remember it as one of the stupidest films I ever watched. Certainly the worst Fincher film I've ever watched. The guy does a 2 page Likert test at the start of the movie, and then they are magically able to predict his every single move. The entire...
  6. Premier League Gameweek 21

    City are too Bobb.
  7. If there is slight contact but you massively exaggerate it, should it count as a dive?

    I wrote this in the VAR thread already. At the heart of the issue is a false antithesis. Because it's usually true to say that something is either a dive or a foul, a rare area of overlap where an instance contains both a foul and a dive is overlooked or dismissed as an impossibility. It's very...
  8. VAR and Refs | General Discussion

    It's a sad state of affairs that a player needs to go to the ground for a thought of a penalty to be even entertained. VAR was a great opportunity to amend that, but due to how unpopular it already is, it's not surprising they were reluctant to push for even more strictness, adding even more...
  9. Premier League Festive Season (Gameweek 18-20)

    I think that's both a dive and a penalty.
  10. Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

    I've seen this raised elsewhere too. The general expectation regarding these things is incredibly unreasonable. If the players that are to join United were at the level of proven ability that some of you think they need to be, they would be virtually unobtainable. If a player is proven in the...
  11. If we qualify for European knock-out tonight, would it be even more magical than that night in Paris?

    I was happy when we knocked out PSG and remember it very fondly, but if you were to say the words "magical night", that game would probably be one of the last ones to come to mind, with plenty of other reminiscences from United's history more pertinent to the description. Especially in...
  12. Premier League Gameweek 9

    Literally.
  13. Brighton & Hove Albion vs Manchester United

    He's getting closer every time, is Dave.
  14. The Reluctance To Support United

    I'm sure most people on here want the team to do well. I haven't read any of these posts you are referring to, but I'd be shocked if they are not the tiniest minority. The thing is, though, people cope with reality in different ways and express themselves in different ways. I'm sure noodlehair...
  15. The Reluctance To Support United

    I've always thought it's incredibly conceited to think anything written here, has an effect on anyone but the forum dwellers themselves, so you should post less hyperbolic negativity for the sake of our own sanity. To the best of our knowledge, no one of import even reads this. It doesn't...
