Have never been a fan of VAR but the more times you watch the game you appreciate the fact that without it we we would not be in the 6th round. Love all the videos of the game but the Match Day Moments was brilliant, can’t stop watching it much to my wife’s annoyance.

| Dead Eye Dobbin stood motionless waiting, waiting, waiting for the ball to arrive. Back came the right foot, Down came the right foot, Bang ! Headlines around the world as the ball flew into the very top right hand corner of the goal.( Jim Dobbin scoring in the 89th minute for Town against Newcastle United away 24/10/1992 ) |

I think all the ‘match day moments’ content is really good. It’s artful, it’s atmospheric, it’s engaging, it gives insights into aspects you wouldn’t normally see. I think they’re like little sociological artefacts and snapshots that will be precious and informative and resonant for years. Congratulations to all those who work on it. Everyone loves it!! UTM
Well I've just mentioned about the 'myth' of the Grimsby support at Anfield in 1980 in another post, future generatons will be able to see for themselves in 40 odd years exactly how it was .

Maybe with VAR our toast was repeatedly dates to fall butter facing upwards?
Further to the above about our players not making any progress with their careers before joining Town.
McAtee was considered to be lazy at Scunthorpe. Waterfall was also let go by Lincoln. Holohan was released by Hartlepool.

Think Waterfall was sold to Shrewsbury who at the time were in the league above Lincoln.

The one thing that really stood out to me in that video was the arrival of the coaches...an announcer, lights, red carpet.....a million miles away from dodging dog sh!te landmines and potholes in Harrington St. WTF

Hurst commented on it himself. It was somehow both Billy big time and hilariously tin pot at the same time. I hope, whatever journey we are on, we never become like Southampton. An anaesthetised football club floating like the most pointless, mediocre turd in a sea of senseless riches.

It's a good point - I struggle to see where the passion is among supporters of teams like Southampton, whose only ambition is to compete in the PL.
That one outrageous season Leicester had gives hope to many, but it may never happen again.
Southampton don't want to get relegated (who does?!) but, by the same token, what's so glorious about finishing 14th in the PL season after season? Even if an oil rich conglomerate bought them, you've still got plenty of other teams in the PL who have almost bottomless resources, so we're getting to the stage where deep pockets don't even guarantee success.
I dunno, maybe it's easy for me to say, but I don't envy those clubs that compete season after season in the PL and get nowhere. I admire the likes of Brighton, Brentford and Fulham this season because they've never been so high, and it's still a novelty.
But you look at a team like Palace and you wonder what they've got to get excited about.
I'd much rather watch my team compete in a league where the odds of the bottom team beating the top team aren't 50/1.

They are all in there as cannon fodder for the bigger boys. Bigger boys who are staying to eat themselves. Chelsea are what 10th? Spurs not to much higher. The Saudi Billions in Newcastle have not really done their trick yet either. It’s a league of no soul whatsoever.
