You used to be able to choose different commentary options on Sky, there were several options that included standard, fan zone and stadium. Not sure if that’s still the case as I switched to Virgin and I don’t think they have any options….Pagan

Well to be honest if he’s thinking about using 10 or 11 players then I think we’ve found one problem I can help with, use 11???……Pagan

Adlab, for me nothing, I personally don’t believe you can judge that accurately with the technology we currently have, anything that close and probably until there’s daylight I’d give to the attacking team….Pagan

Was a good game to watch, rooting for Leicester to keep the league alive, just hope we don’t get a Merseyside Meltdown in the East Midlands….Pagan

Still don’t think VAR is accurate enough to call one way or another on decisions like that, but to me anything that close has to be given in favour of the attacking team….Pagan

442, that depends on how Frank wanted them to play, Giroud plays and has played in the past at this level because he’s good enough to. What you have to do is change tactics according to the players you have at your disposal.

If you want to carry a heavy load up a hill, you use a donkey not a race horse…..Pagan

Think we’d all agree that was a dive, yet no card which is strange….Pagan

It would be interesting to see what would happen if free broad band were to be rolled out, as the cost of footy would no longer be subsidised by that revenue stream and would then be just in the subscription to the TV channels, personally I think that would more than double the cost, and some may balk at that, which may cause a bit of an implosion….Pagan

Adlab, the we pay comment is a strange one, we’ve always paid, today probably more in real terms in out actual outlay, but directly vastly less to what it actually costs to run your chosen club.

Pre shirt advertising, the vast majority of the money came from gate money, some came from pitch side and programme advertising, very little from merchandise, nowadays although we pay a lot directly, it is only a small proportion of the actual costs, now we pay through the nose not only on match days but on direct merchandise, TV and indirectly on anything made by sportswear companies.

The reason is purely down to player greed….Pagan

Adlab, that does happen in the real world, but it is the exception, football it’s the norm…Pagan

It’s odd business football, managers fail then get another top job, can you imagine failing at Burger King , then at KFC, and then at Pizza Hut, do you think MacDonald’s would give you the top job?…..Pagan

442, Giroud will be gone in January, I can see the logic in playing him yesterday, it puts him in the shop window, had he scored more so…..Pagan

Mak, I get what you’re saying as it’s a precedent that is usually adhered to, but unfortunately the laws of the game weren’t broken. Standing over the ball is common place and only very rarely is a player booked for it.

Yep it’s a difficult one to take. Changing the scenario a little, in grassroots games if a kids laces come undone, the ref usually holds play while they’re done up, he doesn’t have to, and the arguments that follow from parents if the ref doesn’t hold the game are quite vicious…..Pagan

Yep, the keeper generally sets the wall position, but a player cannot delay the restart of the game, I wasn’t ready isn’t really an excuse.

I’ll admit you rarely see quick free kicks nowadays, and it’s even rarer to see what you have described today, but it is within the laws of the game, is it ethical? well football is probably one of the least ethical and moral games around. Still at least it wasn’t a result changing incident and will give them something on MOTD to talk about….Pagan

All I can say to that is, if you’ve had time to substitute the keeper, then the wall should have been pretty much set by the defenders, perhaps a bit more time focusing on the game and less arguing with the ref would have been a more useful….Pagan
