Today’s Football 2020/21 Season

[Rook]

Disgusted at City costing our glorious Yank keeper a clean sheet in the final minute of the game

You'll never get a match of concequence for us and any promising skill you have will wither and die on the bench

Looks at paycheck

Steffan: "this is fine"

Rom given a rest to start for Inter today and in his place Sanchez missed a penalty. Somehow that's Rom's fault I think.

Big day in that title race. Inter can go top with Milan vs Juve later. Juve losing that pretty much finishes them off I'd say. They'll be way back.

Didn't know there was any games currently being played so for a bit of interest I just had a little half time flutter on Inter to turn it around and win at 7/1.

His ban.

It's an interesting one this. As far as I see it - it was the bookies who kicked off because they lost a decent amount of money on it.
If the bookies keep coming up with absolute nonsense bets to encourage you to bet and they do 24/7 then they shoudn't bleat
when they take a loss. As far as I know he didn't place any bets himself, but his family & friends did. Why is that so bad?
It's a bet that in no way can influence the result or outcome of a game or the performance of any player or official. Where's
the big deal? It was a bet put up by the bookies and people with inside information took advantage of it. Whilst it could
possibly be classed as immoral or unethical, in my view it's certainly not illegal. The bookies took a haircut - so what?
It doesn't deserve a 10 game ban me thinks.

Inter have pulled one back and Sampdoria seem to have decided that full shithousing is the only way to hold on here.

 

[TheBigIguana]

There should genuinely be like 9 minutes of added time here

Just can't help but think football would be a lot better if time wasting was done away with

Inter flap it again. They won't win the league

I’d love to know how much time should really be added on sometimes.
Like you said earlier, I bet it’s really 10 mins or so.

Oh im a bit late to this Kieron Trippier thing but thats disgraceful. A player should be allowed to tell friends and family they are moving clubs. Betting on players moving should be banned, not the players

I completely agree - The bookies have created an environment where they allow individuals to bet on any conceivable occurrence (Will it snow on Christmas Day? Who will be the next President? etc) - and then they become outraged when that system is used against them

I posted on here once of an event they were betting on that I knew the outcome of.
I messaged the lads who were interested and they all collected.
I also got paid out and I never got blocked or anything.

It really is their own fault for looking for punters to lose. Sometimes they will get stung.

His ban.

Firstly, I think the real problem here is with bookmakers being allowed these markets, but I have no sympathy for KT. He knows the rules and It's not like he texted his Ma asking could she mind the dog because he is moving to Madrid, he literally told someone to "lump on" when the move was confirmed but not announced.

It's not a criminal offence or anything, but rules are pretty simply, comply with them.

 

[H.H.]

80 minute long games, the watch only ticks when the ball is in play.

Serie A is doing 5 subs per team and 9 of them were used before stoppage time. That's at least 3 minutes. After Inter made it 2-1 Samp had at least 5 different instances of someone staying down after being touched by an Inter player. It's mad.

I just think stopping the clock for injuries would do a lot of good as faking injury to waste time just isn't a thing then. And if you give the ref discretion to stop it on prolonged goalkicks or free kicks too the whole issue probably goes away quickly. I can't imagine anyone likes it enough to fight it right?
