I wonder if Ngog's blatant dive will get him and Liverpool as much bad press as Arshavin's Eduardo's (I didn't type Arshavin, honest) did earlier this year. Why do I doubt that it will ^_^ Liverpool were lucky to get a point really, and I'd be worried if I supported them.

Are you referring to Eduardo's dive against Celtic in the CL? If so, in my opinion N'Gog's dive was just as bad if not worse and he fully deserves to be punished for it. And you are right, I am worried our form is a real cause for concern at the moment :(

what happened to this thread! I go away for 2 hours and its like handbags at dawn :p :rofl:

Not to worry, the Ignore button should have solved that problem. As we have 2 Chelsea fans that seem to be on this forum for the sole reason of flaming Liverpool fans and causing trouble, it's the only way forward :p at least most of the members that post in this thread like to talk about Football :p

You clearly didn't watch the match or/and you know nothing about football :)

I think the comment is about the way the draw was earnt to be fair, and he has a point the penalty was pretty soft. Although the game was dominated, and we where probably good value for the point, in the long term the current difficulty in securing results is pretty concerning.

@Frank: Spot on. I'm not saying Liverpool weren't the better side (you were playing Birmingham, let's be fair :p) and I'm not saying you wouldn't have scored some other way, all I'm saying is the second goal which gave you the point was a bit ... well, it's a damn good argument for video replays xD

Fair enough then, I interpreted you wrongly. Sorry.

We did dominate though. I think we ended up with 78% possession and 600 odd completed passes to Birmingham's low 100 odd. Crazy.

Just backs up my argument about lack of effective firepower, converting dominance into results. Injuries, and ownership by 2 morons that are intent on having a ride at the expense of LFC the overriding issues here

FYI my own mother supports Chelsea,

Don't I recall you saying that a true fan supports the club of his/her family? Hmmmmm. It's good to see another Chelsea fan here, and fyi I have never once said that I don't think Drogba dives. Every team has them, but because Chelsea are actually good it is put on a pedestal. He earns his paycheck, that's all I can say.

Can't everyone just, y'know, get along a little? :p A mod's taken his time to clean the thread up, wouldn't it be nice to have a BPL thread that's about the BPL, and not just a reality TV show of Greg vs Frank/Martyn? :p

I'm not trying to get anyone hacked off, but it's been less than a day and I can see where the thread is headed if you just pick up where you left off ;)

God knows how hard I tried to stay out of this.. but here we go :pinch:

Every team has them, but because Chelsea are actually good (at diving) it is put on a pedestal. Oh so that's what he gets paid for.. diving.. wow, I tht he's a striker but he actually gets paid for playing "diveball" instead of football?

I think I saw a ''dive of the century'' on BBC sports news this morning.

The referee was looking straight at the situation and he must be blind or a scouser as that was a dive not a penalty.

I think Ngog will get a ban and the referee should be moved to Sunday league referee'ing.

The old argument:

Bring in video replays

Lost count of how many times I have said that :rofl:

Agree to that 100%

I can't understand why not? FIFA's/UEFA's arguments against this seem nothing more than nonsense to me frankly.. Can't the FA implement it in the local leagues/ cup matches on their own?

The problem is that most sport centres around peoples livelihoods and bad decisions can dramatically alter teams or players careers . There are times in rugby when video referees decisions can take too long but as a rule it seems to work pretty well.

I would be 100% in favour of using this technology in football. Offside rulings and in the penalty area are the two I would target.

    • This new cabinet design lets you run AMD, Intel, and Nvidia PCs inside one case

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      This new cabinet design lets you run AMD, Intel, and Nvidia PCs inside one case by Sayan Sen At Computex 2026 earlier this month, AMD announced a couple of new X3D processors for both sockets AM4 and AM5 as it confirmed the support extension of the latter till 2029. And although Intel didn't unveil any new desktop chips, the company's Core Ultra 200S Plus series is relatively new too. Let's say though that you want the best of both worlds simultaneously, and instead of running two different systems, you can have both running together side-by-side, or rather on top of one another. That's exactly what Thermaltake's CAPO X dual system is made for doing. While it's not exactly mandatory to run AMD with Intel, or vice versa, you get the idea. As you can see in the render above, it is essentially like a double-decker PC case that is capable of holding two microATX (mATX) motherboards. Even running just one discrete graphics card in a PC can get toasty, so you may be wondering how well the cooling is designed on the CAPO X, Thermaltake has confirmed, as is evident from the marketing promo image above, that the case supports up to two 360 mm AIO liquid coolers. 420mm is not supported. In total there is room for 13 120mm case fans. In terms of I/O (input/output) options for the two systems, there are naturally two places for those ports, one at the top and one at the very bottom of the chassis in the front panel. In terms of use cases, there are many possibilities. Thermaltake itself, for example, highlights how one system can be your main PC while the other could be the AI agent PC. Another example given is how it can be used to stream and game simultaneously with dedicated systems instead of hogging one with the entire load. Nothing regarding pricing or availability was said.

      There might be some passive design improvements (cooling, etc), but I doubt they'd change the core performance spec of the hardware mid-generation when they've already got a new console in development.
    • State of Decay 3 is out in 2027, reveals Plague Nests with new co-op gameplay trailer

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      State of Decay 3 is out in 2027, reveals Plague Nests with new co-op gameplay trailer by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe A few months ago, Undead Labs broke its silence about the third entry in the State of Decay series since its announcement in 2020. Today, the studio had a brand-new trailer to reveal at the Xbox Games Showcase, finally giving players a look at the Unreal Engine 5-powered title. A broad 2027 release window is now attached to State of Decay 3 too. The studio confirmed that every scene seen in the gameplay trailer (except for the studio logo) released today is from the game with no cinematic footage. "The quality bar of the moment-to-moment experience is higher than anything we’ve achieved in Undead Labs’ history," says the studio. "State of Decay 3 is being built in Unreal Engine 5, and we’re creating better quality versions of what makes our game the survival sandbox it is, and the combat experience is really, really important to us, and I think you can see it coming through in this trailer." One new aspect of this upcoming entry is the Plague Nests. These are supposed to be dynamic, dungeon‑like enemy hubs with varied “personas” that change tactics each time one appears on a map. These areas will have the best loot in the game for players brave enough to tackle them. The combat system is being overhauled too, letting players do quick and power attacks depending on the situation. This isn't just on the player's side though, as zombies themselves now have multiple new types of behaviors depending on how fresh or decayed they are. "All of these play very differently, especially as you start getting outnumbered or when you’re making noise and running around and trying to save your rear end or the rear end of your friend next to you," adds the developer. Of course, settlement building and community management are massive parts of this third entry too. These are being further expanded with the cooperative focus, giving players much more freedom for playing together than in State of Decay 2. Players will even be able to split up and build settlements in different areas of the same map with different goals. Undead Labs confirmed that playtests are already ongoing for the title, and interested players can sign up to participate by heading over here once more slots open up ahead of the full release. State of Decay 3 is coming out on PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Game Pass sometime in 2027.
