These computer generated images that youhave become used to are a fraud. Anyone who has worked in image processing will tell you that there is a margin of inaccuracy and that any image that is shown should be blurry and the more closely that they zoom in the blurrier it should get. All this nonsense that you see on CSI and other programmes about 'enhance' is pure fantasy. You can't create image data where none exists. In this case the images were not computer generated.

Sad to see the passing of one of the all time greats but he leaves us with such wonderful memories.

Nope. ‘The whole of the ball over the whole of the line.”

You just haven't looked very hard. https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/germany-out-why-japans-controversial-goal-stood-after-long-var-delay-vmt8klhz2 (paywall) https://www.theguardian.com/football/2022/dec/02/why-japan-second-var-goal-against-spain-was-allowed-to-stand-world-cup-ball-line Why are you so keen to assume that it's a stitch up?

They were saving him for the final

Japan won that game with 17.7% possession. The lowest in World Cup history.

The Lino didn’t flag and in the absence of any conclusive evidence to the contrary the goal stands. I don’t know why Souness was bleating on about it. Why should it have to de definitive one way or the other? At some point there will be a few centimetres of uncertainty where nobody could say for sure whether it was in or out.

If only there was a German word for it

But can he defend corners?

It’s amazing how many times that happens. You can’t rely on it though.

Never in a million years. This stupid interpretation has become a total joke.

Over a whole continent.

The concept of ‘winning’ in these circumstances is nonsense. Ukraine is fighting for its survival. Russia isn’t. Russia tried a massive act of theft and got its fingers caught in the till.

If not then engineering works.

Good idea. We have done several cruises in that region and Barbados has the right mix of relaxation and things to do. The reggae buses are a great way to travel around. Antigua is our favourite though. P&O? If you want any tips then feel free to contact me.

Out of interest, the draw for the FA Cup 3rd round is on BBC2 tomorrow evening between 19:00 and 19:30. We are number 35. Portsmouth are 52. The games themselves will rake place over the weekend of January 7th.

CHDAJFU?

Not enough one touch football in the Premier League for me. It slows the game down and suffocates chances.

Not just you

My wife was waiting for an order from Next. She had a text saying that it would be delivered between 12:30 and 13:30. Then at 13:45 she had another saying that it would be delivered between 14:30 and 16:30. She was sitting in the lounge and she heard something being put through the letterbox. She looked out of the window and saw the EVRI driver rushing back to his van so she ran out barefoot to catch him. Her car was in the garage so he thought there was nobody at home. Her car is always in the garage. He left the delivery with our neighbours whose two cars were outside but when she knocked on their door they didn’t answer. She had to call again later.

Ronaldo has been doing that all his career. He has very quick feet and invites some sort of minimal contact whereupon both his legs collapse as though he has been poleaxed. Try that in a Sunday morning and you wouldn’t escape in one piece.

He certainly wasn’t ’tripped’.

When in Rome…
