    It would also have chopped off both their goals and given us a penalty. 

    Kyogo was easily a yard onside for the 1st goal and VAR wouldn’t have looked at an innocuous tackle inside Celtics half unless it merited a red card as it isn’t a clear and obvious error however if you can’t defend a free kick taken from inside the other teams half the you deserve to lose.

    Also if Hanlon hadn’t scudded the ball over from 8 yards when it was almost impossible to miss you wouldn’t be crying about not getting the chance to score from 12.

    The change of direction principle specifically applies to a braking zone. A straight is not a braking zone. 

    If Verstappen is moving from left to right then Saint Lewis could just move in a straight line and use both his superior momentum and engine power to close instead. That he couldn't execute a move because his tyres were duff is not someone else's fault. 

    Actually it doesn’t or drivers wouldn’t get black and white flagged for weaving on straights, once in a braking zone you aren’t allowed to move at all to defend

    Saint Lewis and his divine right to a tow along the straight. I've heard it all now. 

    He doesn’t have a devine right to anything other than the right to expect the driver he is following to make only one change of direction and not three.

    Yeah must admit Hart I just assumed was your typical big mouth player but games for us you can see him organising more than I can remember any other keeper. You see him speaking to coaches on the bench more and he’s pulled a few players away from controversy. Add in his sweeping/distribution that I had discounted his ability to do he’s been way more than just a shot stopper for us.

    Joe Hart has been outstanding. The signing was ridiculed by many on here and I was unsure based on his ability with the ball at his feet.

    Happy to eat my words, the big man is class

    It's interesting that you make this observation of the new world champion, just after a race in which he cleanly overtook and defended against Hamilton multiple times (who 'cheated' by using an escape route to retain his place). And a driver whose main cause of unreliability in the 2021 season were a pair of Mercedes cars whose drivers conveniently forgot where their brake pedal was. 

    Clearly this is a Verstappen problem though. 

    Cheated 😂 That’s a hot take that as really Hamilton had nowhere else to go unless you preferred he stood his ground and crashed? 

    But the thing is drivers will look to gain an advantage by pushing the rules as far as they can forcing stewards to make a decision just like Verstappen did on the last lap by making 3 different changes of direction after overtaking Hamilton to try break the tow which you will know isn’t allowed but also went unpunished.

    They both got away with it, on another day where less was at stake both of them probably would have gotten penalties 

  6. In the context of this season that goal is massive, absolutely massive especially considering the 3 points looked to be gone after the red card.

    And it’s football isn’t it? It’s the only time when we get to lose ourselves a little so folk whining about fans celebrating and a few spilling onto the park need to wind their neck in a bit.
