The law is quite clear at the moment. If an attacker scores against Liverpool then they must have been offside. If any Liverpool player scores a goal then they must by definition have been onside and definitely did not use any part of their arms either in scoring or in the build up.

But if the attacker is running at pace that wouldn’t give him any advantage. Delaying the adjudged contact would just make him look to be offside when possibly he wasn’t.

A rocker is not accurate enough with 50 frames per second.

It’s nowhere near that accurate. I would put it at more than a hundred times worse than that. And don’t forget that the freeze-frame that they use doesn’t accurately show the moment that the pass is made and you have further error. If VAR must be used then it should be for very obvious mistakes such as Gabbi’s disallowed effort at Wembley.

Yes, I think that should be a red. A deliberate kick at the player with no attempt to play the ball. Unfortunately it’s very rare to see one given for that.

I thought it was just offside at the time but I wouldn't have complained had the goal been allowed.

Perhaps you should sit down when you read this, but Jesus was not born on 25th December.

So... A message about peace and goodwill to all depends into a slanging match.

Because all the shops are shut and there’s sod all else to do.

That would be nice but I live in hope

Makes sense but I’ll take the results so far.

I was just about to write the same thing. That move yesterday was crisp and snappy. At home it’s pass back, plod plod, pass sideways, plod plod, pass wide, plod plod, pass it back again, plod plod...

VPN ?

Very good Another errant apostrophe?

Moi? Heaven forfend!

Throwing a strop.

Well there’s a surprise. Well done Obafemi.

Obviously Chelsea players can’t get booked.

It has been taken over by Christians but is not exclusively a Christian festival.

They try to arrange ‘local’ derbies over this period. That doesn’t explain why Saints were drawn away at Newcastle on New Years Day though.

I guess you didn’t get the message? As the Pope might say, “Peace on all off you”. Merry Christmas one and all.
