At least he's up front about it

I think we all assumed that related to the Panchero bit.

Top work all the same chaps: Beans your pod has kept me entertained as I sit in traffic on the odd day I drive to work.

 

[Roygbiv]

I've just listened to this and I can say I'm awfully disappointed that Roygbiv 's name isn't actually Roy.

We are all disappointed

I listened to it last night on the drive back from work and really enjoyed it. Only discovered the Blades pod a few months ago and it is the best thing I’ve found in a long time, well worth a listen if anyone hasn’t already discover3d it

I've known Andrew for a number of years now and even i still call him Roy on occasion; amongst the insults dished out towards him. Be good to make this duo a regular on the Podcast though. Good work lads.

Surely the big question is, why Roygbiv ?

There's a clue in his avatar I believe.

When I joined Bladesmad I was listening to this song so just called myself that



I could quite easily have been called Deeply Dippy

Beans just casually dropped in a word you’d barely expect to hear on Radio 4. Relitigation.

Something to do with water supply I believe?

Afternoon all,

My pleasure to have the great Roygbiv joining me for this episode, talking about his "Views From" highlights - including browsing Yeovil Town Facebook pages at 1am.

Then, we spend some time looking ahead to the Premier League and talking about the summer so far, including:

- United's new sponsor (24:30)
- Transfer rumours / Luke Freeman / players we'd like to sign (27:15)
- The fixtures we're most looking forward to (39:45)
- How VAR might affect the Blades next season (47:30)

Thanks so much to Roy for coming on. Cheers for listening and UTB!

Excellent and a very different type to the normal, which I love.

I waited so I could listen to this on my drive to Holyhead. Made a slight error as I listened to the undr the cosh podcast with Beesley first, so I still had tears in my eyes from crying with laughter at that.

Thought that Roygbiv came across very well and the discussion was interesting.

10 wins is going to be tough and I’ve just seen a new thread on who we think our 10 wins will come against, so I think I will hang fire, do some research on many teams that I know little about and then try to predict this myself, objectively before the start of the season

VAR will be interesting this season, I’ve watched absolutely nothing of the women’s World Cup, because it’s not really relevant to me, so the comments you make on these VAR decisions is hard to judge. I did watch the England game in the Nations League and saw that England goal chalked off, for what was a very hard to spot infringement and I ended that game thinking what a sanitisation it will be to have VAR.

Yes we’ll have decisions go for us against big teams, but does it mean that every goal will be subject to VAR? Is someone watching every bit of play in the whole game to see if there is a reason not to give a goal several minutes later.

How far will it go? I can’t help feel that we’re going too far...

I remember a while back that FIFA instructed referees to give Marginal decisions to the attackers. It seems VAR might just reverse this and make games less exciting

Great pod again, thanks both.
