GWT: PL Matchweek (mostly) 34

[Savant]

Tancredo Palmieri knows absolutely nothing about the PL. Lol

he's like a Tier 30 Serie A guy.

He reports on soccer for a living. He knows the rules better than us.

Routine verdict based on which rule? I can't find it.

https://www.anfieldcentral.co.uk/po...feit-between-manchester-united-and-liverpool/

"The Premier League Handbook, according to Section L.12, dictates that if police involvement influences the decisions to postpone or abandon a game, there will be no forfeit or disqualification and the points will not be automatically awarded to any teams involved."

If there is a description somewhere stating that the "mother club" is responsible for the behaviour of their fans etc. - then fine. If not I can't see how this ends up with Utd losing the game 3-0. And it would have to be very specifically defined then. What if I call in a bomb threat pretending to be a Leeds-fan for the next game? Should Spurs then win it 3-0?

Not saying this is easy. And I can see this leading to amendments in the handbook, but I would be curious to know why someone would consider this "routine verdict"?

It really doesn't matter what he does for a living, if he's calling something that has literally never happened in the history of English league football "routine", he's an idiot and should be ignored.

Except this isn’t a transfer rumor?

 

[hatterson]

I see. Transfer rumors we need impeccable sources. Events that have literally never happened before we're free to use anyone who has a blue checkmark. Makes sense.

 

[TJ21]

Fabrizio hasn't called Varane, Haaland and Sancho to United yet so he's a certified fraud and jabroni in my eyes. Daily Mail >>>>>>

 

[Savant]

I see. Transfer rumors we need impeccable sources..

Yes? We should?

Relegation and winner were decided a while ago and looks like top 4 has already been decided as well. Bit of a boring season tbh if not for the recent drama and Liverpool blowing up in the first half.

For sure. And people thought last season was the one that needed an asterisk. That was a breeze compared to this nonsense.

 

[TJ21]

I guess to each their own, but this season has been a blast to watch. Almost a constant 4 to 5 team shootout for the final CL and EL spots, which could still go down to the last couple games, and seeing some new faces in the mix for those spots has been fun to follow. Found myself watching a ton more games not involving my own team this season

Actual goal for Wolves was pretty lucky, but that build up was great.

 

[S E P H]

The Glazers are a modern day version of the Rockefeller, Kennedy, and Rothschilds'.

 

[gary69]

Nice English weather in this game.

This mix of rain and hail is pretty crazy.

 

[Say Hey Kid]

Speaking for all non-Man U fans. They've been one of the best in the world for 16 years. I hope the Glazers sell so we can compete with an inferior owner, which they would have.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Jesus f***ing christ, I can't believe it's May 3 and I'm gonna sit down and watch Burnley-West Ham because the result has stakes for my team

I'm hoping for Burnley to come through for us here.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Chris fricking Wood man, incredible form right now

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Gorgeous penalty

Chris fricking Wood man, incredible form right now

Unreal... how many better in the league right now?

 

[Blender]

Welp, need more Chris Wood magic.

It's impressive how wrong this post is.

Still no place to put the rescheduled game. If United don’t have to forfeit, which they still should, maybe they can play it 24 hours before the Europa League final, like when Liverpool had to play 24 hours before the Club World Cup in a different continent. There is no where to put this game.

I still don't know where this is in the EPL rule book. I have now looked up "forfeit", "3-0", "0-3", "3 - 0", "0 - 3", "three", "nil", "zero", and "breach of Rule L."

Moreover, the rule book specifically says that matches may be postponed for safety reasons (Rule L.12.4).
