I actually think this whole attitude of "if Pulis is in charge, we will be safe" is something which will be of detriment to West Brom's season which will end in relegation. When Pulis took charge of Palace the whole task to keep us up was described as impossible. The areas to improve were clearly made and that was extreme hard work from the players and organisation on/off the pitch. Everybody bought into that idea, and everybody knew it would still be a struggle to stay up even with the new manager coming in. Last year was a fantastic achievement but it was only made possible by the players putting in the hours.
While I think Pulis will bring his micro-management organisational skills to West Brom, I think pundits, fans and (hopefully) the West Brom players will be a bit deluded in the idea that just having Pulis there means that the hard work aspect is not required as much. There is this idea that people seem to think they are safe before they have even kicked a ball under his management - so this is set up nicely to come back to haunt them! |

I don't think refs are any worse now than they were in the 'old days' but back then you couldn't watch every refereeing decision in slo-mo on the TV. |

Pardew just has to ensure that he does the same, the joke will feel very hollow if they go down and we do as well. Need to get back to winning ways fast though. |

I just cant think of a good system apart from possible where the ref refers things himself like in Rugby or where the video referee acts like another assistant to flag up any major errors that involve goals, sending off offences etc. |

Think more technology needs to be brought in to assist the officials bearing in mind that decisions could cost clubs millions of pounds by losing their place in the Premier League.
At present with goaline technology the referees get notified if the ball crosses the goal line by buzzing on their watches. As others have said this would have to be carefully thought through with all different types of scenarios that could occur but maybe each Manager could have say 3 challenges per match. Each Manager notify a challenge to the referee which would send a signal straight to his watch like the goal line technology. The only problem is when the play gets pulled up which would have to be thought through. |
Sod this challenges malarkey, just accept that referees and linesmen are human and are going to make mistakes. Let's be honest, in most games they make far fewer than the players they are officiating over.

Technology is an absolute necessity for not only the tough decisions, but also the inept quality of today's officials. In any other workplace this continued inability to do your job properly would have only one outcome, the sack.

Tony Pulis is not our manager any longer, so why discuss his ability or lack of? Alan Pardew is our man FFS.

We ain't going anywhere. Time for a bit of Karma to come & slap Pulis round the ear. With regard to crowd reaction when he comes back to SP, silence is golden. Ignore the prick.
