There are times between games when I fully agree with the OP. The club is basically an international football side based in Southampton, The Premier league just an international league based in England. Hell, I haven’t even lived in Southampton for over 45 years and have no relatives that do. For various reasons, too numerous to mention, matchdays aren’t as good as they used to be. I sometimes even nearly convince myself that the result doesn’t matter that much anymore. However, once at the game the same old feelings just overcome you. The joy at Chelsea, the final whistle New Year’s Day, the raw emotion at those moments is still there. Football, bloody hell. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

The Keeler thing is pretty good, despite being too long. They seem obsessed with stretching things for box sets. Joanne Whalley was great in the film, & the chick playing Keeler is in the same class. The Rice-Davis bird is worth watching as well. More like this and the licence fee may become worth it. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

What, offside goals being disallowed? What’s the alternative, an official deciding if it’s far enough offside. Having watched the officials today, no thanks.

The complaints aren’t about subjective decisions. People are complaining that VAR is ruling players in offside positions are offside and therefore offside goals are being disallowed. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Stop ****ing moaning, you only need to have been to 3 games to get a ticket. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

They’re not changing the offside rule. You can’t argue with a fact, those players were offside. The only argument is whether the offside rule should be strictly enforced or not. Personally, I don’t understand why it wouldn’t be. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

You’re wrong... Most of the fuss is over correct decisions. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

No, just the offside ones... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Do you really believe that had the Wolves goal stood despite being offside, Klopp would have just accepted it, said “it’s within the margin of error”. If it was as close a title race as last season’s, you really think allowing an offside goal will be uncontroversial. What about other hairline factual decisions, should they be subject to your margin of error. VAR wasn’t brought in for clear and obvious errors only, it was also there to establish facts. Clear and obvious applies to subjective decisions. Whether the ball crossed the line, whether the foul was inside the box or out, whether the ball touched the goal scorers hand, whether a player is offside is not subjective and therefore clear and obvious doesn’t apply. A Pandora’s box has been opened & if anyone thinks tinkering with factual decisions and allowing offside goals because they’re close, is going to make this go away they’re very much mistaken. At the moment the sense of un fairness felt by the aggrieved party is minimised by the fact the goal was offside. Wait until a side loses a big game by an offside goal. Had that been a cup final Sat & Palaces offside goal had stood, costing us a 2-1 defeat, I doubt you’d be quite so happy about it. Particularly when the technology proving it was offside was there to be used. This ain’t going away, so if there’s going to be controversy, I’d rather it was over a correct decision, than a wrong one. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

You might not, but others on here do claim that. Not only the most skilful, but “easily” the most skilful...there’s alosthe claim that other players agree with this assessment, but no names have been forthcoming. Here’s a question for you. Do you think he’ll become a first team regular? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

You can’t un-invent the technology. Within minutes of an offside goal being allowed, the watching audience, everyone in the ground with access to texts will be aware that the goal was off side. What do you think Jose, or Klopp or the clubs supporters are going to say “it looked onside, so we’ll accept that offside goal costing us a champions league place”. You could have a situation where a goal is denied by a toe nail when the technology deems the ball didn’t cross the line, but someone offside by a larger margin scores the winner up the other end . You think nobody will bat an eyelid? Dream on... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

4 different managers have only used him as a bit part player, have they got an agenda? Agenda, what a load of pony. Don’t rate Boufal and it’s part of an agenda. I just hope the people claiming he’s easily the leagues most skilful player, are only doing so on here. They’d be laughed out of every boozer in the land if they claimed that in public.

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

They don’t. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

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

Areas of the country vote to send someone to Parliament to represent them. The majority of areas wanted to be represented by Tories.

Sad news today for Rutles fans. Neil Innes has passed away... RIP Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Who are these players? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

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

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.

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
