  2. So you’re accepting that some offside goals will now stand. You can bet your life these goals will be for the home side at Old Trafford, Anfield etc, rather than Turf Moor or Selhurst. Subjective decisions are subject to prejudice, you now propose we take factual ones and add that prejudice into the mix. Is this 30 second rule just going to apply to offside. It seems bizarre that we can wait a minute for the technology to determine if a foul was inside or outside the box, but put a time limit on offside calls. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

  4. Dear god, is it April 1st...... If you asked every single supporter of every single club in the country to name the most skilful player in the league, how many would say Boufal? My bet would be none. Not one. And I’ll ask again, who are these players that think he’s “easily” the most skilful in the league. Are you people deranged? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  5. Areas of the country vote to send someone to Parliament to represent them. The majority of areas wanted to be represented by Tories.

  9. Sorry, forgot about all these foreign teams banging our door down trying to sign him, especially after his spell at Celta Vigo. Face reality man, he’ll never be more than a bit part player at our club. Like Gaston, he’ll fade-away with a few hipsters still convinced he’ll come good. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  10. This 100 times over. What did people think would happen. The use of VAR to judge factual decisions as well as subjective ones will always lead to minuscule measurements. The level of ignorance from pundits is quite staggering. Wherever you decide the offside is judged from, feet, daylight, part you can score with, there will be hairline calls. Once you start giving the “benefit of the doubt” to the attacker, then you’re really going down a rocky path. It becomes a subjective measure, and as we all know subjective measures tend to favour bigger clubs & managers. It’s no use saying it’s only to be used for obvious offsides, because there will be a borderline “was that far enough offside” call most weeks. If you look at every single disallowed offside goal, I doubt there’s one that wouldn’t have been scored had the offside player been 10cm’s nearer his own goal. Maybe players should make more effort to ensure they’re defo onside during build up play. If you play on the edge of the line, you’re occasionally going to step over it. It seems bizarre that when players do, it’s the rule that’s wrong, not them. I didn’t particularly want VAR, but the success of the goal line technology and in particular, footballs acceptance of it, changed my mind. However, it’s been a bit of a dogs breakfast , but there’s absolutely zero chance it’ll be binned. The very simple tweaks are obvious. The English referees need to use the pitchside monitor for subjective decisions, and an acceptance of the decision needs to be made on factual ones. Not one person would say that because only a whisker of the ball wasn’t over the line, we’ll call it a goal, so why are they saying only a whisker was offside, therefore it shouldn’t be offside.

  11. He’s really not..... He can’t get in our side under 4 different managers. Nobody seems the slightest bit interested in signing him. He’ll just fade away exactly like Gaston did....... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  12. What a load of old pony. The establishment is now the metropolitan liberal elite. The old school tie pony is so last century. Did New Labour pass you by? #draintheswamp Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  13. So have I. Just needs one in off his backside or a tap in, and he’ll be up and running. Hasn’t missed absolute sitters like Long does. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  14. Our worst performer yesterday, flattered to deceive yet again. Is there anybody still thinking he’ll come good? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  15. Spot on. The chumps in the TV studios just don’t get it. It’s so frustrating. Clear & obvious applies to subjective decisions, offside is a factual call (as is the new handball rule regarding goals). What they don’t seem to get their heads round is the fact the linos are told to keep their flags down. For all we know without VAR the Lino would have flagged the initial offside yesterday. People seem to be implying that hairline close decisions shouldn’t be ruled offside. The implication of that is the officials will decide what’s “close enough” and what isn’t. A factual decision becomes a subjective one, and subjective decisions lead to more arguments and accusations of bias than factual ones. The only way you’ll ever stop goals like yesterday’s being ruled out is if you use VAR upon appeal (like cricket does). Maybe Saints wouldn’t have appealed it (nobody seemed to think it was offside) or had run out of appeals. The simple fact is that if VAR checks every goal, offside ones will be ruled out. It doesn’t matter if it’s 10 yards or a toe nail offside. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  16. It’s not about working in the public sector , it’s about using it. Millions of people who do, up and down England, decided public services were safer in Tory hands than Steptoe & his band of extremists. The people who matter more than the lefties who work in it , overwhelmingly rejected your pony....... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  17. If they’re offside by a toe nail, they’re offside. You wouldn’t say the ball didn’t cross the goal line by a whisker, therefore it should be goal. Do you think there won’t be hairline offsides under your daylight rule. Wherever you draw a line, it’s a line. If the defenders toe nail is stopping daylight, they’ll be a ****ing debate over that. There’s only two outcomes regarding offside, on or off. No rule change will ever change that. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  18. What???? You don’t agree with the rule that offside should be offside. How would you change it, someone offside will in the future be onside? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

  20. It’s actually quite refreshing that people find Miranda, Mrs Brown’s boys & Gavin & Stacey a load of pony. I’d add Little Britain, That ****ing idiot Reeves, young ones & Absolutely Fabulous to that list of trash. As for the new open all hours, wtf is David Jason playing at.... Curb your enthusiasm.

  24. Exactly You could quadruple everyone’s income and you wouldn’t reduce “poverty “. Hell, you could increase everyone’s income 10 fold and it wouldn’t make a blind bit of difference. Equally you could make the top 90% as poor as the bottom 10% and abolish “poverty “ altogether. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
