Mainly because Cole is a Snake. But it was also when Rivalries were so big that the players wouldn’t interact on international duty.
Nowadays fans understand that football is a business and if it’s the club that decides to let the player go, then there is little animosity.
However, when it’s the player who pushes for the move then that’s when there is animosity. See Alexis, RVP, Nasri and Fabregas.
Meh. Shouldn’t be an issue for most but I wouldn’t wear an away kit. Just sit and enjoy the match and have a dampened celebration of your team scores.
Awful idea that only adds more of a grey area between the red and yellow card. Can’t help but think that teams against city will also likely be likely to receive more of these decisions as to add to more corruption.
I still want a third party company in control of VAR to stop this mafia like protection shit from going on. A third party company can be criticized and if they are poor another one can be brought in.
I also want people with no professional footballing background involved as well to give an outside perspective.
But at the minute I want this “clear and obvious” bullshit gone. Have two people in var (let’s call them var 1&2) and for every incident looked at Var 1 & 2 decide separately on the incident. If they both agree then their decision is used. If Var 1&2 disagree, then you send the referee to the monitor for the tie breaking vote.
Is anyone denying this? The debate should be, in an all time team who would you play on the wing Bale or Salah?
