posted by Rob Clark (Guest) - Friday 05th March 2021, 2:34 PM I have watched the replay many times, and there is no way in Hell that this is a hand ball. I am a placid Guy, and this has made me Livid, Some Guy sitting in a warm box dictating whether a Player has hand balled in a Live scenario is Unbelievable. Ok, He pointed to the ref that there is an injustice, But the Ref still has the Decision, So How the Hell does He not see what I can see ?Whether You support FFC, Sheff. Utd, or West Brom, It Is what it is, and this is Definitely NOT a hand ball. But alas to err is Human. Scouse next !!
posted by ForeverLoyal7 (Guest) - Friday 05th March 2021, 3:29 PM I think the problem, in part, is that VAR undermines the referees. It's clear by now there is no right or wrong answer and common sense must prevail but why have 2 flawed systems. The other problem is the quality of refereeing which won't get better if they have a 'safety net' to fall back on.
posted by O David (Guest) - Friday 05th March 2021, 3:58 PM unfortunately the ref made the correct decision, its just that the law is wrong, which they have at least now decided to change for next season. I agree with geezer. Now even after every angle is seen the pundits still dont always agree whether it was a penalty or not. Not only pundits but managers have to take responsibility. Invariably they have a post match rave against the injustices of refereeing decisions (pre and post VAR) for there demise in a game. Everyone makes mistakes, players managers and officials. The managers are so one eyed in their opinions, often just trying to deflect criticism. Listen to any post match rugby interview to compare....... Like in other sports, players, managers and pundits should have more respect for the refs. I believe the officials are all doing their very best to make difficult decisions in an instant under extreme stress. Maybe all players and managers should have to ref a few games so they can appreciate the job they do. Ive completely changed my view on VAR. We should lose it except for goal line technology. I thought it would stop the diving - its made it worse. Lets give the decision making back to refs and assistants. We lose so much from the game when assistants cant flag an offside and the game just goes on... and on. Lets face it we want the emotion back. To be able to celebrate a goal when it goes in. Football doesnt work as well when it is sanitised. Good time to play liverpool!! COYW

posted by Jim (Guest) - Friday 05th March 2021, 1:04 PM I'm not even sure about goal line technology when it takes away referees decision making. A clear goal by Sheffield Utd last season was ignored because the ref never got a signal from the Hawkeye system yet it was clear to see it was well over the line. That mistake saw Bournemouth relegated instead of Aston Villa so what's the good in technology in such cases? We accepted human frailties for years but it's difficult to accept what we know to be wrong
posted by NRL (Guest) - Friday 05th March 2021, 1:50 PM VAR makes referees lazy and their incompetence is rectified by remote cameras, only for another incompetent referee to apply his own interpretation of the situation.

posted by Expat Dave (Guest) - Friday 05th March 2021, 10:44 AM MST, what you are basically saying, is that Burnley are going to beat both Arsenal at home, and Everton away, Brighton are going to beat both Leicester at home, and Southampton away, and Newcastle are going to beat both WBA away and Villa at home, providing of course that we lose to both Liverpool, which is unlikely, and Manchester City at home, who will have a mid-week game to contend with before they play us, and this could be our chance to Fulhamish, and hold or even beat the table toppers. If all those results come to pass it will be time for me to give up watching football. In other words, it ain't going to happen. COYW
posted by Alan B (Guest) - Friday 05th March 2021, 11:03 AM It is certainly possible. What is more galling is that Tottenham were spineless at Brighton two weeks ago but played like their lives depended on it last night. Why do we continue to have the worst London Derby record by a street mile?
posted by Tony R (Guest) - Friday 05th March 2021, 11:22 AM Firstly I am 99.5% certain we will not be 12 points behind in a couple of games. That’s only just mathematically possible. Secondly, even if we were 12 points behind, we are down and out. We have Newcastle to play and we have a much better goal difference. It means the gap would only be 8points. 8points to make up from 8 games is not impossible. So MST you are being very pessimistic here. That’s a shame especially how we outplayed (albeit lost to a crazy rule) Spurs yesterday.
posted by John (Guest) - Friday 05th March 2021, 11:28 AM Tony R, in my opinion, why other London clubs raise their games like as you mentioned, Spurs against Brighton, although they are not a London club, where they were useless, and last night's game against us, where they sent out probably, City apart, the best forward line in the Premier League, and tried their hardest to do a Burnley over us, when they scored 4. However our wonderful defence didn't allow that so they took off Bale and Ali in frustration, trying to improve, but they didn't, and we continued to dominate. I digress, and the reason they raise their games, is it seems that everybody admires us as a club in London, by other supporters, and just jealous of our reputation. Next season, we will improve and stuff most of them for a change, once we improve our strikers.
posted by Brian Jarvis (Guest) - Friday 05th March 2021, 11:50 AM Really funny how I write one thing and some people read something completely different.

posted by DenFFC (Guest) - Thursday 04th March 2021, 9:57 PM Too many people, fans, players, managers, even the refs do not understand the laws of the game. Firstly, the handball law remains in situ, only the interpretations have been altered. This new interpretation means not all handball offences have to be intentional. For example, if the hand directly scores a goal it will be deemed a handball offence and the goal disallowed this is regardless of the fact that the handball was intentional or not. A further interpretation now states that if the ball hits the hand in the direct build up to a goal it will also be disallowed regardless of the intention. All other handballs must be intentional and the interpretations (ie hand in an unnatural position) are in place to assist the ref in making a subjective decision on intention. Hope that clears that one up. By the way, the interpretations have only confused everyone because they have been poorly drafted and ill thought, typical of the the leaders of our game.

To say we require a C/F is an understatement. Looking at our last 10 games since we have found some kind of form and the draws we have acuminated we could, if having a goal scoring poaching player have by now amassed at least another 10 points.so what's the answer, with nothing to loose. Try out one of our squad players from another natural playing position, or give game time to an under23 team player or one from the academy, what have we got to loose
posted by Kunye (Guest) - Thursday 04th March 2021, 9:01 PM I'll tell you what we have got to lose, Kunya and that's our spot in the Premier League. What we need now is for our more experienced players to step up to the plate. We seem dogged by bad luck match after match, but surely that will change soon. It's possibly all going to come down to beating both Burnley and Newcastle at home, as I think that it's been on the cards for months now that the last day showdown with Newcastle will decide which team is going to be relegated, and hopefully it won't be us.

Today wasn't his best game, but he is at our level more so than Chelsea. Kamara was never picked to play in that central striker's role, apart from QPR when he scored a brace. Maja is deceptive but useful. I like the way he took his goal disallowed. There was a slight side movement before putting the ball on his left which put the defender slightly off balance before he unleashed his shot. He is a good striker but he needs to produce more. Loftus will get all the blame for us losing and that seems to be some fans level these days...

Our gardener who has been with us over 20 years had a new kidney 30 plus years ago and still daily fells trees and digs very big holes etc. and has been leaving me in his wake all those years, puts me to shame on every level. I was delighted to learn last week that you had taken on important coaching duties and hope you’ll be back soon doing just that. Forget the playing, I for one would be delighted if you were to stay at FFC, have always felt you had a lot to offer with your experience and maturity to the next generation. Good luck and thanks for being a great member at the Cottage. See you soon:)

I admire your optimism re Mitro but at this point in time and this level I think he is a spent force. irrespective of which league we are playing in next season it would be best for both parties to part company, although there may be clubs who would match our required transfer figure his wages would probably be a problem. A swop with Armstrong of Blackburn + 8/10m would I feel be a good bit of business, but that would depend on what div: we are in, as he has stated he would like to ply his trade at a higher level.
posted by Kunye (Guest) - Monday 01st March 2021, 5:44 PM On Sunday's showing, Mitrovic's lack of pace was so evident, even Benteke could give him ten yard start and beat him over thirty. Only at set plays can Mitro contribute in a positive way.
posted by mwk (Guest) - Monday 01st March 2021, 5:56 PM I don’t think Mitro is a spent force. He severely lacking confidence at the moment. I blame the Scotland game. Yes, Mitro is not the fastest strikers out there but if that is the only issue, how is he the highest scorer for Serbia. He looked much leaner on Saturday and to be honest, he didn’t get club of the ball and when he did, he kept it well. We are not playing to his strength. Playing a short pass to him is not how he wants the ball. We either cross or play a high ball to him to bring players into play. I have the confidence he can still boss defenders, even at the premier league level. Let’s give him a run of games. He could be our season saviour like Kebano was last season!
posted by John (Guest) - Monday 01st March 2021, 6:13 PM Lots of football managers on this site,let’s face it nobody knows who’s going to beat who but 1 thing is certain lots of unpredictable results coming. Strange thing about Fulham winning at Leicester and Everton were both a shock and our current form even though we’re not scoring we’re certainly hard to score against and play better against better sides. Brighton extremely unfortunate against West Brom and Palace so hopefully 1 team will drop like a stone pretty sure Mitro won’t be our saviour.
posted by Chief (Guest) - Monday 01st March 2021, 6:49 PM I would like to see Mitro as a targetman to hold up the ball for Lookman and Maja. His distribution is good and he has a great eye for a pass.

posted by the real arch bishop (Guest) - Monday 01st March 2021, 2:49 PM Real Arch Bishop, haven't you been following our last few results, and if you have, --didn't you notice that in one of the hardest leagues in the world, we have been unbeaten in our last 7 games, away from home, and we have only lost to Manchester City in our last 9 away, so how can you casually write off our next 4 games, with no points at all. Let's face it, you might well be right, but I think that we will pick up a few unexpected points. Manchester City can't go on winning, so let's put a spike in their tyre this time.

Yes not bad at all. Winning 3 out of 4 games is probably never going to happen. I don’t understand the criticism below of Parker on the sub. We weren’t going to score anyway. So changing the formation is the right thing to do. The fact we went aggressive with the formation but still managed to keep a clean sheet, I think it’s not a bad decision. So unfair to criticise Parker for the sub.
posted by John (Guest) - Sunday 28th February 2021, 4:49 PM I've been a big critic of Cavaleiro but he has been better over recent matches, especially when coming on as sub. However who is going to stick the ball into the back of the net? Is it time to consider a young , quick striker from the 18s or 23s squads to come on for 15 minutes or so to stretch the game and maybe score a goal.

posted by Alan B (Guest) - Sunday 28th February 2021, 8:54 PM I say it again a draw is no good. as those above us are also picking up the odd point, if we draw the next 3 games and one of those above us wins just 1 game it s still status as you were.

It is not like Scott to panic, he did it to win it but nearly lost it. It did not look live Maja and Mitro have not trained together. If you play two up front they must be a few metres apart not trying to occupy the same sport as they did a lot. Did Scott not notice we had complete control of midfield and were making chances. We have twelve game left, that must be enough for us to get clear of this trouble.
