hypochondriac

Fancy a bet? This time next year things will have changed. Happy for a small wager with the loser to, donate to charity.

It's going to change even if its at the end of the season and we have to continue with the broken system until then. People like you will be upset but the vast majority will be very happy.

I'm not an atheist and I think you're insane.

You're wrong, footballing authorities, pundits and a majority of fans think you are wrong and guidance will soon, be changing so your view will be irrelevant.

Yep that seems like common sense. Much better than the current system anyway.

Like I said, the football authorities obviously disagree with you which is why they are making the necessary changes.

Why did you get into a long forum conversation with MLG and not think it would end in tedium? More fool you.

MLG's militant atheism makes me more religious and then raging bull's insane religious answers make me more atheist. I'm in some quantum state between the two.

Or they think you're talking b*llocks???

Hmm I'm not sure about that. I know quite a few Christians and they wouldn't agree withuch of what you've written.

Yes but I note that any predictions you've picked out have been just vague enough to allow you to fit it into your narrative for the 20th century. It would be pretty impressive if it dealt with some specifics but it doesn't, a bit like how fortune tellers and psychics sicker some people in.

Agreed. A bit of divine intervention for sure.

Matthew Le God might be the most annoying poster in the history of the forum with his dog with a bone like posting style and weird automaton personality, but you really don't help matters raging bull when you post things like the above, you just sound a bit unhinged. I don't think even most Christians would try to say that random passages from the bible are literally predicting events from the last century or two.

I think the people who make the laws of the game know a bit better than we do about why var was brought in. Var "should not be too forensic" and "should only be used to reverse clear and obvious errors." That's literally the guidance that the law-makers of the game are issuing and once that's brought in the likes of klopp will have to like it or lump it. Var will then be used to stop travesties of justice like the Watford handball or the cup final against us but won't be analysed to the minute degree that it currently is which will suit me and seemingly many other fans just fine. My opinion would not be changed by an "offside" decision given as a goal because the difference on a video monitor is so minute that it's virtually imperceptible and the importance of a game would not change that fact. The Spurs fans I was with were saying they would have preferred that var were not used in that way even if it had meant them conceding. They know the downsides of it because they were on the other side of a similar position the previous week with Harry kane. Let's hope they push it through ASAP.

A reading from the book of hypochondriac: "and on the 7th day, Matthew Le God realised he was wasting his life attempting to convert the believers to his particular brand of militant atheism and went back to beta testing football manager 2021." Thanks be to God.

"And God said in the year of our Lord 2019, let there be a Web forum called saintsweb and let that forum be visited by a dry, pedantic, borderline autistic irritant with social problems and let him be known as Matthew Le God. And lo it was so."

Had there been a reasonable margin of error involved and the first Norwich goal had been allowed, it would have been utterly uncontroversial. Had that Norwich goal stood, I don't think there would have been anyone that wouldn't have thought it was fair enough. I mean ffs I was watching the game with 4 spurs fans and they all thought it was mental and judging by the multiple texts on BBC sport also from spurs fans they clearly felt similar. Its quite simple really, var was introduced for clear and obvious errors. If it takes multiple camera angles and replays and it's still not 100% clear then it's not clear and obvious and the goal should stand. Sounds like they have listened to those complaints from fans who understand how the implementation is ruining the game and will make changes along those lines so happy days. It will displease the autists but it has to be done so we aren't continually disallowing goals by the width of a hair.

In reality there isn't going to be much controversy about goals that to the naked eye look onside. The Norwich goal in particular at the weekend is an example of a goal that would have been utterly uncontroversial had it been given. No one would have batted an eyelid.

Because its pathetic to have an opinion on this simply because your team has benefitted from the current rules over half a season.

I just don't understand why anyone would be in favour of the current implementation of var based on a very small number of games where we have happened to benefit.

Luckily the authorities aren't listening to you and will be bringing in some common sense changes shortly. Thank goodness.

It's the end of the year and this has become a late contend or for my 2019 thread of the year.

No he wants to change the offside law so that goals that may currently be viewed as offside by a fingernail are no longer deemed offside.

A first generation immigrant female with East African heritage, getting a good education and becoming a prominent member of the government. What great proof that you can achieve something in this country regardless of race or skin colour or where your family are from. Let's not also forget that she had prominent roles under Cameron so she is hardly an example of a sudden lurch to an "extremist right" like the left like to claim.

I think the divide is between people with a MLG mindset who are happy to have every measure taken and everything analysed to a minute degree in order to achieve the "correct" result every time and those who would prefer a tolerance built into the system so that all decisions aren't just left to a machine and the width of a hair follicle.
