Whitey Grandad

No need for a check. The replay showed well onside.

Should be a yellow for Cavani.

I’ve got two hands and two feet. It it goes above twenty I’m stuffed.

Nope

So you think Utd will be able to hold us?

But if we do win this will be talked about for years, and gentlemen in England now a-bed shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here, and hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks that watched with us upon this glorious day.

It’s the conscious reason that I don’t rate him.

I remember it well. I was sitting in the Kingsland and thought “that’s going well wide”.

Let's hope we can lose 10-0 tonight and then we won't ever hear about that 9-0 again

From the BBC website, Southampton. Always nicking our players. Steve (Liverpool fan).

23:00 deadline if anybody’s interested.

I believe it was Arsène Wenger’s suggestion that they should use wider lines to allow a margin of error but it was turned down by IFAB.

I’m with Bertie.

He’d only use us as a stepping stone to somewhere else.

KEEP CALM AND PLAY SHANE LONG

Now we wait...

Yes, outstanding work. I shall breathe a huge sigh of relief when I’ve had both my jabs. Now it’s all down to the manufacturers.

Yep. Last night it was painful to watch Stephens with the ball at his feet. All the players on both sides were standing around with their hands in their hips waiting for him to make his mind up until he rolled it back to McCarthy,

'Deliberately played' by the defender?

Well said. Like you I used to be a local referee and some of the parents seem to think it’s all part of the fun to hurl abuse at referees. I challenged one young mum about it once and she just said “It’s all part of having a laugh”.

Yes, during the close season all the referees get together at St. George’s Park for a big seminar and they go through all the law changes and their interpretations. This information is then promulgated to the clubs. Edit: I don’t like Mike Reilly either. I was at the first top game he refereed at Leicester against Saints. He spent the whole game trying to impress his seniors and awarded a penalty against MLT who was only trying to protect his face from a ball blasted at him from close range.

Lee Mason had his left arm raised for the free kick which can only have meant offside, probably against Ings.

Barcelona are in debt to the tune of over €1.2bn

Even worse than that. It’s 50Hz in the UK, or 50 frames per second. I used to be in TV research forty years but technology has changed since then. It’s all CCD cameras these days so unless they are high speed versions they are too slow for offside decisions. And when is the ball deemed to have been kicked? When the foot first touches it or once it has obviously left the boot?

I’ve wondered about this too.
